Samba problem with deleting shares

[Anette Stolvoort]

One of my customers is using Samba 2.2.2 with ACL support on Linux for
S/390. He does have Winbindd installed and running which means that user
authentication is done via the Windows PDC.

If he tries to delete a share from Windows he receives following message:

[2001/10/16 14:34:25, 3] lib/util.c:unix_clean_name(391)

[2001/10/16 14:34:25, 5] lib/util.c:show_msg(280)

It sounds like a permission problem but permissions of all subdirectories
are set to 777.

What is very interesting is that if a 'new' user is using SAMBA he does not
experience the same problem. To be more specific, if an existing NT user
uses Samba and a share is added in Samba for this user, this new share can
be removed by the user. However, as soon as this user checks the
permissions from the Windows explorer, he cannot delete the share any more.
It sounds like a locking problem. However, stopping Linux and Samba and
restarting it does not solve the problem.

Does anybody have any experience with a similar problem?
