[Samba] SOLVED: OS X Tiger Share write problems

[Mike Freitas]

The problem was that samba was unable to lock the files and must have 
assumed a permission error after that.  I had to change the arguments on 
the mount command, the auto.home arguments are now as follows: 

-fstype=nfs,exec,mand,rw,suid,sync,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,nolock 
nas2:/users/&

I'm sure not all of them are needed and i'll start going though and 
removing those that aren't, but it is working and nothing else seems to 
be impacted at the moment.  I'm sure I'm not the only one with an older 
machine still running, so I hope this may help someone that might 
"expect to get support for samba 2.2.7 these days."  I'd like to think 
that "When in doubt upgrade out" should only apply to windows.
