There must be some fix for this, I mean this is nuts if that's just the way it is and there really is no way around it. Unfortunately there is no fix in 10.4. You could file a bug with Apple, but I don't like your chances. Is there any documentation you can point me to that talks about this issue? there might be something on http://www.apple.com/support My boss uses OSX and I don't think he's going to be happy if I just say, " there is no way around it", and don't say nothing else. FWIW, the SMB client is noticeably improved in 10.5. -- James Peach | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

My boss uses OSX and I don't think he's going to be happy if I just say, " there is no way around it", and don't say nothing else. I restart samba about once a week, adding new shares or policies on shares, so it's not like I can't restart it.

We run Samba 3.0.24 on a FC5 and RHEL4-AS systems.
