Samba, vfat and new kernels: Anyone able to solve the problem?

[Gianpaolo Cugola]

Thanks for your reply. Any more precise info on where it should be
submitted? I read the samba pages and found that bugs can be reported to
the samba-patches mailing list. I forwarded my message there. I was not
able to find any place mentioning an ftp site for bug reports.

Bye
  G.
