Anyone here running a mixed network with windows and/or linux and Mac OSX 
(10.5) machines and also using the VFS Recycle Bin module in their smb.conf?

Running Debian 5 with all latest updates on a Intel based server.

I've got a network with all the oses above and the recycle bin works fine for 
the windows and linux clients, however anything deleted by the mac clients 
doesn't end up in the recycle bin.

I haven't done any checking of the logs or sniffing of traffic yet.  Googling 
has found me sqaut so far.

According to this, the functionality is supported when running Samba 3.x on a 
Mac

Any ideas before I go sniffing? Or suggestions on what specifically to look 
at?
