I am experimenting with MAC OS 9 using samba as a file server. I am
using Thursby's DAVE to connect. For those who don't know, DAVE is a
client utility that allows an OS 8 or 9 system to connect to windows
file shares.
The MAC can connect to both servers with no problems. However, when
copying a file to the samba 3 server, I get the following error:
The item <file name> could not be written, because an error of type -50
occurred.
Writing out to the Samba 2.2.7 server had no problems and was very fast
(ie. blows my NetWare server away).
The two servers are set up very similarly in that they are running Red
Hat 8.0 (with patches) and using the ext3 file system. The smb.conf
file is the same also (very simple, just for testing). I'm not doing
any fancy authentication, etc., just using the smbpasswd file. I'm
using the same login name and password on both. The home directories on
both have the same permissions and owners.
Also, a windows machine can copy files to either system with no
problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Here's the smb.conf files
