samba - Jun 2003 - Problem with OS X (as client) to Samba on Linux box

Hoping someone can give me a pointer on this:

I'm trying to connect a Mac OS X 10.2.6 machine to Samba 2.2.8 hosted 
on a Linux 2.2.20 machine.  I can authenticate, connect to a share, 
navigate through.  I can even delete and move files.  But, whenever I 
try to save a file in most programs, or copy a file in the Finder, I'm 
told that I don't have the privileges to do it.

Strangely enough, I've found that if I copy files in the shell, 
straight into the volume mounted under /Volumes/, things work fine.  
I've also played with file permissions like crazy, but to no avail.  
Windows and Linux machines at my office have no problems.

Having been successful in the shell, I wonder if it has something to do 
with the "._" files OS X tries creating in order to preserve the 
resource fork of files?

I'm out of ideas on this one, can anyone help?

I just tested saving from word to the share.
Version 2.2.3a-12 for Debian
worked fine for me, running os 10.2.6 with the developers tools loaded,
and fink installed.
no rforks were created though.
What user is the share mounted as?  the program would try to create the
file with the name of the user that started the app.
other than that,  what programs?

best of luck, hope I can be of help.
