2.0.6 Problem

There has been a few reports that physical device names are not working 
properly in the smb.conf file for SAMBA 2.0.6.

This indicates a bug in Frontport that would need to be fixed.

The workaround is to use concealed logical names like:

$define/system/exec/trans=concealed user_disk dka0:

The use of physical device names is discouraged in OpenVMS.  Logical 
names allow easier system management, especially through upgrades of 
disk hardware.
