[TriLUG] Apache sharing files out of a samba share

[David McDowell]

bravo Ian!  I need to make sure permissions and such are good, but
this works, thanks.

Interesting behavior at the moment.  A plain jane Word doc will open
fine.  A regular PDF will open fine, we haven't tried other file types
yet.  However, a Word doc with form fillable fields in it... opens a
blank doc.  We tried removing the IncludesNoExec in case that made
some crazy difference due to the form fillable part of that particular
Word doc, but it didn't.  Anyone seen this kind of behavior?  lol  :) 
I am getting the same behavior with a win client and a linux client
using open office.

thanks,
David
