Samba and Windows XP XS2

Hello.

 

I’m hoping that someone can give me a hand here.

 

I have a Linux file server that is being shared out to several Mac’s and Windows XP SP 2 machine.

 

There is a user account called Administrator that the client computers use to connect to the Samba share.  The Mac’s have no problem with this at all; they can look at everything, create and rename files etc.  The XP machines on the other hand can do everything as well, but they can not delete any file at all from the Samba share.  This is really annoying for everyone on the network, the windows error that I get is “Make sure that the dish is not full or write-Protected and that the file is not in use.”

 

The XP machines are XP 2, I was wondering if this would have something to do with the kb885250 update from Microsoft awhile ago (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/135647-35-kb885250-problem).  If this is the cause of the problem, does anyone know how to remove it from SP2?  There seems to be a few people having this problem.

 

If anyone has any advice, please email me at jeremy.smith@....  I’m also using Samba 3.081013 on Fedora Core 3.

 

Thank you

 

Jeremy
