Hi,

I currently have problems with vmware and samba.
From time to I can't access my local samba share in
the virtual machine.
When browsing the samba share from within gentoo with the konqueror
there is a file called:
Code:
_JWYWA~R

watching the file with the integrated binary viewer gives something like:
Code:
local/thinkpad:/tmp/.ICE-unix/dcop[...]


When I delete this file and restart vmware player I can access my share again.
Where does this file come from? Is this a lock file from samba?

Regards,
hothead

It's seems to happen only if the system crashes and e.g. vmware
still accessed the samba share.
Removing '/var/run/samba' after stopping the samba service solves the connection problem.
