[Samba] Can't see all of the directories in a share with 2.2.7a-1 &RH8...but older version/kernel can

[Kurt Weiss]

may be, thats a problem of the x-flag in the linux filesystem.
in older versions u could set e.g. 0640 for a directory.
in newer samba versions u need e.g. 0750 instead...

i hope it helped...
