I didn't get any responses to my previous post "Wine broken on Samba shares due to colon ":" filenames" so I am re-posting with a subject to reflect what I now believe to the the root cause of my problems. I recently changed from mounting my home directory using NFS to mounting with CIFS via the pam module pam_mount.so. It turns out that I am having problems with many

...I have a Samba server (Version 3.3.2-0.33.fc11) and I am running Ubuntu (Karmic Koala latest) on my workstation. Earlier this year I added pam_mount.so so that I could automount my home directory from the Samba server when I logged into my workstation. So my home directory is mounted as: //san01/rwsmith on /home/users/rwsmith type cifs (rw,mand) I used to mount it via /etc/fstab using NFS. I'm not a big fan of Wine so I do not use it very much. However it turns out that Google has ported Picasa to Linux using Wine. The problem is that Picasa and Wine are not working because there is a prob...

This might be more inclusive if I said, Linux Permissions vs POSIX ACLs vs vfs_xattr. I have recently begun to discover the power and flexibility of using POSIX ACLs (by mounting my EXT3/4 filesystems with the acl option). This solved alot of security permissions issues between Samba and Linux groups of users. As I have delved into this deeper and begun using the VFS object, vfs_xattr, things

I am running two Fedora 13 servers, one as a Samba PDC and the other as a BDC. For the past week I have been tracing a series of issues which may or may not be related to Samba 3.5.4. Here is one problem that I am tracking and need help from the list with suggestions. >From a wireshark trace between my Samba server and an XP client I am seeing the following error status returned for up to a

I have two users on my network, Mary and Bob, who work together in a shared share. They both belong to the group Accounting. Bob is a savvy Linux user who accesses the share via NFS4. Mary toils away using Windows accessing the share via the Samba server. Mary will create a directory on the share and dump a number of files in which Bob and Mary will split the load. Bob, being a LInux user, will
