Something I never understood - Samba was included for working with Windows systems. Yet, its default configuration seems to cause all kinds of problems.
Basically, Apple put it in to work with Windows, and then tweaked it to make it not work with Windows.
Some recommended things I've found through many Google searches:
Change this: vfs objects = darwinacl,darwin_streams
To this: vfs objects = darwinacl
Set stream support and ea support to No.
Other things I've seen pop up during the past few years:
nt acl support = no
acl check permissions = no
unix extensions = no
wide links = no
Things usually work. We still get a network problem every now and then (a big file copy to the Apple/Samba share will fail).
One thing I have NEVER been able to get to work: Make the Samba share honor the DOS attributes: Read-only, Hidden, etc.
Is this even possible with Mac OS X Server?
Is there a definitive SMB.CONF guide to Mac OS X 10.5?
