Thankyou so much Jerry for your reply :-)

I actually tried logout and login but the problem persisted so I downgraded to

devsrv:~# dpkg -l |grep samba
ii  samba          3.0.14a-3sarge a LanManager-like file and printer server fo
ii  samba-common   3.0.14a-3sarge Samba common files used by both the server a
devsrv:~#

and created the samba accounts ( tedious task! ) and the problems persisted.

The I found that the problem is only for the samba account "administrator"
So I removed the unix and samba accounts "administrator" and created
it again with "useradd" and also created the samba account
"administrator" and the thing seemed to be fixed.

I upgraded to

devsrv:~# dpkg -l |grep samba
ii  samba          3.0.21b-1      a LanManager-like file and printer server fo
ii  samba-common   3.0.21b-1      Samba common files used by both the server a
devsrv:~#

and the problems seem to be gone :-)

no Idea what went wrong actually! Thankyou ll for the help and suggestions.

Kind Regards
