[Samba] Samba with Mac files?

[Michael Gasch]

hi

we've had nearly the same setup and also run into problems....

what we did is, we copied the files with a MAC in between (between nt 
server and samba)
we made a netatalk share, copied the files via afp (or smb from mac, if 
you're not workgin with afp on MAC) and then shared this share also in samba

give it a try
