samba - Jan 2010 - Problem Samba Share

I'm running out of things to check.

I have two servers running Samba 2.3.3, one as a Domain Controller one 
as a Member Server.
Both are running Ubuntu 8.10. smbd, nmbd and winbindd using the tdb back 
end are running on both.

On the Member Server when I access the [Projects] share everything works 
as expected. When I access the [Windows] share I get prompted for a user 
name and  password but no combination works
If I comment out the "force group" then [Windows] mostly works but not
there are issues with one application which will gives error indication 
it cant create files.

I have worked through a number of issues eventually finding that pam was 
not configured correctly, now it seems to be correct, getent now 
includes the domain users and groups.

I can find no difference between the two shares but one works as 
expected and one doesn't. The only significant apparent difference is 
that [Windows] is much larger.

There are no acl's set on either directory.

Sorry, I don't know what's causing your problems, but I suspect you
mean version 3.2.3, which is what Ubuntu 8.10 ships with.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/samba

The "2:" is not part of the Samba version number.  It's an
"epoch",
which is explained in Debian's policy manual as follows:

"It is provided to allow mistakes in the version numbers of older
versions of a package, and also a package's previous version numbering
schemes, to be left behind."
