Right, I can't drag a file in the finder to a mounted samba 3.0 share,
I'll get an "insufficient privileges error". But if open the
Terminal I can copy the file onto the samba share no problem with the cp
command.
You've got me thinking though - the whole unicode, UTF8, character set
conversion, codepages, all that bundle of fun, I could see that perhaps being a
problem, I'm going to dig into that.
Thanks,
Tom
