Hi Sam,
  Right. I guess this is a bug in the linux cifs filesystem module, then 
I will submit a bug report to the Samba project.

  BTW, `rpmbuild -ta' from RPM 4.4.2 does not work against your newest 
tarballs (courier-imap and authlib) - complains about unpackaged files 
being present. I had to create an ~/.rpmmacros which contains the 
following, in order to get a build:


%_topdir    /usr/local/src/rpm

#
# Script gets packaged file list on input and buildroot as first parameter.
# Returns list of unpackaged files, i.e. files in $RPM_BUILD_ROOT not 
packaged.
#
# Note: Disable (by commenting out) for legacy compatibility.
%__check_files                          /usr/lib/rpm/check-files 
%{buildroot}

#
# Should unpackaged files in a build root terminate a build?
#
# Note: The default value should be 0 for legacy compatibility.
%_unpackaged_files_terminate_build      0

#
# Should missing %doc files in the build directory terminate a build?
#
# Note: The default value should be 0 for legacy compatibility.
%_missing_doc_files_terminate_build     1


Either the rpmbuild instructions on the website should mention the 
above, or the spec files should be fixed.


BR,
Mike
