[Samba] Can't create files using Mac OSX Client against Sambaserver on Debian Linux

[Thomas Chadwick]

Well, after some more poking around, I discovered that this problem was not 
neccessarily a simple matter of getting Samba properly configured.  For the 
benefit of the list, I've posted the following URL which takes you to a 
Debian bug report which starts out with a post describing the exact problem 
I'm seeing.  As it turns out, it may have more to do with a problem with 
file locking and the v2.2 Linux Kernel I was using.  I'm in the process of 
installing a 2.4 kernel.  Hopefully, that will fix things.
