[Samba] Problem with OS X (as client) to Samba on Linux box

[Philip Edelbrock]

Hi, I think OS-X was primarily written w/ Samba3.0 in mind.  I've tested
2.x and 3.0 (alphas) and 3.0 solved a lot of problems for me.

BTW- Check out this site for more info on using OS-X with Samba and a
special patched version of Netatalk specificly for networks which
include OS-X clients:
