samba - Nov 2002 - write access to shares on PDC faulty (samba 2.2.6)

Hi,
I just configured samba (2.2.6) on a Linux box (2.4.18) to act as a PDC.
I can bring W2K PCs into the domain, and I can read the data on exported
shares.
However, when I try to write data, the following occurs:
1. trying to create directories (AKA folders :-) from the W2K GUI using
"New Folder":
Error Message Box "Unable to create the folder 'New Folder'. Cannot
create a file when that file already exists."
Nevertheless, a folder "New folder" is created.

2. Trying to copy a file to the share
Error Message "Cannot copy ...: The specified network name is no longer
available."

When trying to copy files from a linux box onto the same share (then
mounted via smbmount), also a write error occurs (permission denied).

the file permission modes are properly set.

I am not so experienced with samba, but my guess is: something is wrong
with the file locking.

Any helpful comments and hints appreciated.

On your share unix directory must be valid unix permission set if not write
is not possible...
When your share is btw PUB and is on /home/samba/pub
then try change perm
chmod 777 /home/samba/pub
and then try create dir under PUB share on client.
PUB share must be set writable in smb.conf.

Best is create groups for users and set perm 775 but user logged to samba
must exist in group in linux...

Secondary problem is possible by your filesystem for share dir. If you use
fat problem with filenames is possible then try copy filename with 8.3 conv
and long names can not work...
