[Samba] Files missing when using windows XP and samba

[Stuart Bailey]

Hi,
I am using Fedora Core 3 as a server for both Unix (Solaris and HPUX) and 
Windows Xp clients. The Unix clients view the files through an NFS v3 share, 
and windows client use samba (3.0.8-0.pre1.3).
When looking at a directory from the server, or from a Unix client, I can see 
132 files. However, from the Windows client, I can only see 65 files. There 
appear to be nothing special about the files names (we have already removed 
spaces etc from the filenames incase they caused a problem).
If I mount the samba shares via smbfs on the server (to a new mount point), I 
can see all 132 files, so I suspect the problem is not samba.
I have checked the file permissions, and although they have various owners, 
all permissions are 666. There seems to be no consistency between files that 
are missing.
I have tried a number of different Xp machines and they all exhibit the same 
symptoms.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Stuart.
