[Samba] RE: issues with cifs mount

[Jeroen van Dongen]

Well, exactly the same issue here. Only difference is I'm using Ubuntu
6.06 and Samba 3.0.14a (standard debian sarge package).

So if anyone has an idea as to what's going on I'd appreciate. As soon
as I've some time to spare I'll dig into it a little deeper.

I also noticed by the way that I could not change the permissions on
the files under .evolution/mail/local i.e. I did a chmod 666 * and
nothing changed at all ... perhaps some weirdnes with Gnome's VFS
interacting with Samba?

Rgds,
Jeroen
