Sorry, more clarification suggested....
We have a call open with the support team, who are at a bit of a loss too. I was hoping that there would be a user out there who has seen this too...
We went up from 5.2.3 to 5.3.4R2. The user working on UNIX boxes are able to be checkout file with RCS exclusive locks. Users on PC's get "permission denied"
The user "eegbuild" owns most of the files in the share where the problem is being experinced , however this has never caused an issue. We have fond that once the users check out files on unix (which changes ownership to them) then they can check out when working on the PC. Likewise, user can check out files owned by users other than eegbuild.
The problem appears to be on the CIFS side of things. -----Original Message----- From: Clawson, Simon [mailto:simon_clawson] Sent: 17 August 2000 16:38 To: toasters@mathworks.com Subject: RCS issues with ONTAP 5.4.3R2
Hi!
We have upgraded (downgraded??) to 5.4.3R2. Everything seems to work apart from RCS access. User can open and lock files on UNIX boxes OK. However on PC, users cannot open and lock files that have been created by another user. This operation work fine up until this upgrade (Previously we were on 5.2.3)
ANY ONE?
cheers

What RCS package are you using on the pc's? To what security mode is the filer set?
from RCS access. User can open and lock files on UNIX boxes OK. However on PC, users cannot open and lock files that have been created by another user.
Though a long-shot, does the output of `cifs sessions *` show any locks on files?
Until next time...
