samba one-way

i recently encountered some really weir samba behavior:

i'm able to mount some windows shares, write things to them.
But a 'ls -l' always shows filesize 0 and a cat <filename>
for the text file i've just written on the share returns
nothing.

On the host system all the data is present, e.g. in the
textfile mentioned above the things i wrote into it
can be read.

weird :[

A thought, but not too concrete. Which windoze are you running on the share? With XP, you can share a folder, but there is also a checkbox that says "Allow Network Users to Change Files" or something like that. Can you verify if you've enabled/disabled that?

Cheers,
Wah

nah, it's windows 2000.

(only difference between w2k and xp is xp having more colors and round window corners :[

I've 'solved' the problem by using cifs and a loopback device file on a windows share
instead ...
