[Samba] Problems during connect to server and listing files

[Ricky Nance]

Jerry, you could install a commercially supported linux or other OS and
then you would have a help line in your time of need... I am sorry if your
free software doesn't have the support you would like to see, but there is
no call to be rude about it. I have seen this happen more on the samba
lists than it should, and frankly I am getting a little tired of it. If you
have something useful to add to your post (configs, how things are supposed
to work, etc) then add that, otherwise please leave the negative comments
to yourself.  (Now is a good time to mention that I am a user and not a
samba team member, so this view is mine and mine alone, but it really gets
on my nerves when people are rude about things).

Now that I have that out of the way, you have given us a small snippet of
your log, from which server you haven't said and are using a pretty old
version of samba. What packages did CentOS update that might have caused
this? Is it possible an option in your configs has been depreciated? You
mention "I can connect to a share on the Solaris server from either a linux
or windows workstation.  I get connected but I don't see any of the files
in the share directory ( which resides on the CentOS server)" is this over
nfs, smbclient, or cifs?

Thanks,
Ricky
