Having replaced my old NT4 server at home (after it's boot disk died) with Samba running or SuSE 8.0 I've had 3 instances of files becoming corrupted when saved from my wife's Windows 2000 PC. What happens is that text documents appear to have random, but meaningful text appearing at random in the document. It looks maybe like Samba has picked this text up from somewhere else on the server's disk.
Just a thought, but could it possibly be that the docs were saved with MS Office and later opened with OpenOffice?! MS Office "file formats" are little more than dumps to disk of what happen to be in memory at the time you were editing the doc, and at times OpenOffice gets some of the doc wrong. //Anders -- `When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.'
