Aaron,

I am fairly new to Linux.  Is updating samba a difficult process?

Thanks in advance!!

(UPDATED)

Other people (me included) have seen that. Now that I've moved us to 
3.0.24 (Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Server), I'm not seeing that kind of 
behavior. I can't be completely sure if it was the upgrade or some 
changes to my smb.conf required by the upgrade that did it. Do you have 
a test environment to try out your configuration on 3.0.24 or higher?
