[Samba] file open problems

[Erik Thiele]

Hi Gerald,

I had to work on other projects in the meantime. Now I tried the setup
with samba 3.0.7 and still get exactly the same problem as before. I
will use our NT 4.0 server for the purpose now, but would appreciate if
i could sometime switch to samba.

thx,
Erik
