This is a known bug with 3.0.0 (the nastiest one we shipped with I think :-( ). The recent 3.0.1pre release fixes this, I also posted a patch for this problem which you should be able to find in the mail archies. Sorry for the problem, Jeremy. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
