I noticed similar behaviour back when the OpenBSD Samba port was bumped to version 3.x. Windows machines were able to access Samba shares as always, but Linux workstations were not (it was a permisisons issue, some files could be read, many could not, but nothing was behaving as it should). While I am still ignorant of the exact reasons *why* this bahaviour showed up, the solution in my case was to set "unix extensions = no" in smb.conf on the server. I realize this reduces some of the functionality which CIFS is supposed to offer, it was more important to get file sharing working again. Anyway, try "unix extensions = no" in smb.conf (server) and see if this makes any difference. I realize the change took place on your client and not the server, but this still might work. Good luck, Joe
