Jerry,

 

This problem occurs on Samba 3.0.14a running on Redhat ES4 from installed RH9 
rpm packages.

 

Added 'dos filemode = yes' to the share in smb.conf; same error.

 

Thanks for your time.  Let me know if there is anything else I can check out.  
The “force user = username” option is a limited work around but we would like 
to find a better solution.
