I posted this for 2.2.3 and it is still present in 2.2.4.

Files with 4 letter extensions don't like to be seen on Solaris prefixed 
with a wildcard, for instance on windows w/ network drive mapped.

U:\>dir
  Volume in drive U is dholden
  Volume Serial Number is 0076-09E2

Works fine on Linux for me. Tested for Windows 2000 and XP accessing 
Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 with samba 2.2.3a and 2.2.4. Hope this helps, Thanks.
