Thank you.
Yes, I can. And I will if it is useful.
But will it help you to help me ?

I suppose have a correct samba configuration, as it works with many 
customer computers (since years...).
Ma question 1 : Is it possible that I am wrong on this point ?

My question 2 :  what can make a difference between these 2 clients ?
There is a small difference : the "good" customer is Ubuntu, and the 
"bad" one is debian...

Please note that I cannot send the 2 smb.conf because I have only one ! 
It is on the server.
There are no smb.conf on the clients.
The only element of configuration on the clients is the /etc/fstab
