Similar errors in two samba 3 releases. 1st error: Running RedHat 7.3 kernel 2.4.21 with samba-3.0.1pre1-1_rh73.i386. Filesystem is open XFS from sgi. Linux: mkdir /mnt/xfs/Test echo ".." > /mnt/xfs/test You now have one file (test) and one directory (Test). Windows 2000: Delete the file named "test". Without any question, the _directory_ "Test" is deleted. 2nd error: Running RedHat 7.3 kernel 2.4.21 with samba-3.0.0-2_rh73.i386. Filesystem is open XFS from sgi. Linux: mkdir /mnt/xfs/Test echo ".." > /mnt/xfs/test You now have one file (test) and one directory (Test). Windows 2000: Once the file "test" is created, you are unable to enter/execute the directory "Test". Try to delete the file named "test". The _directory_ "Test" is being removed if it's created by Windows. If it's created in Linux, you get an error message in W2k: "Cannot remove "test" - the directory name is invalid". We're not trying to remove the directory, but the file "test". Regards Kjetil Lund
