I have been forwarded this from one of our servers, which we have recently ( 2 days ) updated to Samba 3.0beta1 (Debian's 'unstable' package) from Samba 2.2.8a This is the second time it this happens in a period of 24h. Everything else in this server is working fine. Any comment on this? Is this a known limitation / situation ? Thanks in advance.
