hi,
so your running centos 5.5. with outdated kernel in 64bit, with old samba.
3.0 of red hat..
aargg..
i suggest, upgrade to samba 3.3 from centos and use the kernel suppied by
centos for 5.5.
I cant beleave that 2.6.18 is the "official" kernel of centos 5.5. lots has
changed.
also i'm betting your doing this because of the "upgrade" problems..
( as i had )
but even better.
upgrade your server to centos 5.6
install samba 3.5.4 from centos.
use the kernel from centos 5.6 ( i guess 2.6.32+ kernel)
Use these settings in samba.
in [global]
host msdfs = No
unix extensions = No
set these settings on the share with the nfs mounted folder.
## share options, not for global.
# wide links = yes
# follow symlinks = yes
Your mixing lots of old things here and that makes it hard to diagnose.
Louis
