Yes,I can touch one file and edit it by vi in linux even with samba,but in 
windows I can't edit
the NULL txt file and save it. and I used samba 2.2.8a before, the error 
didn't exit,but samba 2.2.8a has one big bug for me:If I put one big file( 
>500M),there is erroe" The specified network name is no longer available 
",so I just use 2.0.7 now.

BTW: My work is to port samba into one embeded linux,so I can only use old 
version samba,
but this error exit in both embeded linux and FC4.
