Package: samba and related sub-packages Version: >= 3.0.6* Starting at 3.0.6, samba packages backported to Woody (as all previous packages had been before) for the Alpha architecture produced this bug. I have tried both the 3.0.6* and 3.0.7 series and they both have this bug.
The bug is that the files on a Windows client that show up in the directory cannot be displayed, edited, or accessed in any way. They are locked out. This basically makes the package totally unusable. The package compiles and builds .deb files without any alteration of the source as backported from deb-src http://www.backports.org/debian stable samba or alternatively. deb-src http://de.samba.org/samba/ftp/bin-pkgs/Debian/samba3/ stable main These apt-get sources produce reliable packages for versions <=3.0.5 This bug does not appear on the i386 architecture for Debian/Sid (unstable) or backported to Debian/Woody (stable). I do not have a machine to test Debian/Sid for the alpha for this bug, but I highly suspect it does exist. As a work around, I reinstalled the backported 3.0.5 packages for the alpha. I could also revert back to the Woody packages that also contain some of the security updates contained up through 3.0.7 series of samba. -- James D.
