Sorry, yes it is on Linux.  No specific distribution - it's a Linux system
I've put together myself.  Kernel is 2.4.26 - if there's any other versions
of things you want lemme know and I can tell you.

I tried use sendfile = no and it didn't seem to make any change either.
Exact same error messages and same behaviour.  I've thought about
recompiling 3.0.5 in developer mode 'cause I hear that spits out more info
in the logfiles, but if there's any way I can just turn on more logging to
maybe get more info, what would be the log levels I'd set and to what? (I
couldn't find any documentation on what all I could do with the logging
setting in Samba since it had been improved to allow multiple settings and
such).

Eli.
