Under NT 4.0 (client) and a FreeBSD samba server I'm getting runtime errors on the client side saying that the mounted file system does not support extended attributes. I don't think it's peculiar to the server OS so it might happen with Linux as well. The error stems from the Microsoft Power Fortran runtime system and I suspect something like an INQUIRE (Fortran 77) statement is being executed on the file. Could have to do with file creation/modification date. (vaguely guessing). -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
