[Samba] Directory Renaming problem Samba 2.2 on IRIX

[James Tullett]

Hi:

I have an old Indy that currently runs Samba 2.x on a Windows 2000/2003
Active
Directory Network.  It uses DOMAIN security, and the Domain Controllers
for 
password service.

Unfortunately, creating directories under Windows is problematic.  When
I create 
a directory under Windows, it cannot be renamed from Windows' default
name 
"New Folder", "New Folder (2)" etc.  Under UNIX, folders may be renamed
by their owners, or members of their group owners.

Does this problem exist for Samba 3.x installations on IRIX 6.x using
Win2k/Win2k3 Domain Controllers and AD?   

(quick listing of the existing setup follows)

The current settings for one of the important shares is

[media]
        comment = <anonymized>
        path = /path-to-samba-share
        write list = @publish
        read only = No
        create mask = 0775
        force directory mode = 2775

The publish group is a UNIX group that contains all the User IDs that
are
permitted write access to the share.  They can freely write files onto
the
share, but it is currently impossible to rename folders on the share,
nor indeed any share on the machine.
(setup listing ends)

I checked the SGI site, but was unable to locate any binary packages
later than samba 2.2; the IRIX folder at samba.org  is depressingly
empty.
