samba - Aug 2004 - OS/2 error while accessing samba share

I have a Samba server running version 3.0.2-6.3E on Whitebox Linux 3.
The samba server is joined to a NT4 domain. I can access the share
from my XP Pro box just fine. But, accessing the samba share from an
OS/2 box results in an error. I am able to map the share just fine
using 'net use'. But when I try to access the share within the GUI, I
get the error: "No objects were found that matched the specified find
criteria." "The system call level is incorrect.". I have NetBIOS
over
TCP/IP installed. I've read a little that mentioned it may be the
permissions, but I'm forcing root on both user and group levels so I
don't know how that could be the problem. Plus, I'm using the same
user on my XP Pro box as with the OS/2 box and with XP I have no
problems reading or writing to the share.

Here is my share info:
[fileshare]
	comment = File Server One - Main Share
	path = /fileshare
	writeable = yes
	printable = no
	create mask = 0775
	directory mask = 0775
	valid users = @Programming @"S220 Controllers"
	force user = root
	force group = root
	public = no

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks -Jason

It's not your fault.
There are many places in the 3.x samba code, where the handling
of OS/2 extended attributes is ignored, flagged as an error,
or handled incorrectly ....
At some places the samba developers are aware of all 
the EA problems and send out information / debug messages.
I think, the samba developers need *a lot of active* support from
the OS/2 community to handle all the special OS/2 stuff correctly.
They cannot "fight at all places with the same importance" - and OS/2
is (unfortunately) not first in the "features and debug lists...".
But everyone is free to support them.

Best wishes.
