samba - Jan 2003 - MSDFS Share can't create directory from NT 4 SP6a Client

Hi,

we use Samba 2.2.3a on Suse Linux (Kernel 2.4.18-4GB).

There?s the following share defined:

[av]
   comment = Arbeitsvorbereitung
   path = /home/group/av/samba
   force user = av
   browsable = no
   writeable = yes
   msdfs root = yes

All users can create and modify files, but only clients with win2k can 
create new directorys. NT-Clients get the error "no such file or 
directory".

following messages are generated in the log file (on our test-server Kernel 
2.4.10-4GB Samba 2.2.1a):

[2003/01/09 09:13:17, 3] smbd/process.c:process_smb(837)

Thanks for any help

Hi,

Please upgrade to the latest version of Samba 2.2.x. I think this was
fixed in 2.2.4.
