Samba (and CIFS) is not a really good choice for unix->unix file-sharing. As you have noted, not all the semantics are preserved well. Things might be better with the 'CIFS VFS', a replacement for smbfs in the 2.5 kernel (and available on samba.org for 2.4). > I'm using the most recent default versions of smbmount from the RPM > (Version 2.2.7-security-rollup-fix), however I suspect that I may have to > compile things up, but I can't find anything definate. > > Do I need a different version of smbmount; a special compile of smbmount > or something completely different? If you can use something different - things like 'SFS' www.fs.net or even NFS, you might have less trouble - but I've not ventured beyond NFS myself.
