samba - Jul 2004 - Urgent help to Samba 2.0.7 with Microsoft Windows XP and 98

Dear Sir :

   Nice to meet you.
   We are using the Samba v2.0.7 ported from uClinux to build the Samba server
for Network Storage.
   Currently, we met several strange problems as below :
     1) Under Windows XP :
                The Windows backup function cannot work.
          But the BackUp function works well under Windows 2000.

     2) Under Windows 98/98SE,  we cannot copy a file which size is bigger than
500KB or more to the Samba server.
          But the smaller files are OK to be copied.

     3) Under Windows XP, we create a empty file in Samba server (like TXT
file).
         When we use Microsoft Notepad or UltraEdit to edit it, type some
characters , and save back, Samba server replys as "Access Denied".
          But if we do so with Microsoft Word, it is OK.

   Could you do us a favor to advise us if any hints or comments ?
   Thank you.

Best Regards.

Hiya Jelmer,

Well, when i make an account,from a win box (i think from linux also)
and fill in username, Fullname, and description..
the description field is left blank.. (in the sql base)

my smb.conf, is configured to just query the sql server.
so no extra field options...

i'm not sure, if that is the only field that is kept blank/not used.

Later

Hi Hank,

	2.0.7 is a very old release of Samba. Is there a more modern version
you can use ? We're currently testing the 3.0.5 release.
