[wellylug] Samba Issue

[Mark Piper]

I first saw this issue in 3.0.5 (maybe 3.0.6 i forget). 

Never got to the bottom of the actual cause (cos they patched it in 3.0.7). 

One thing we did find however, if you ensured the entire directory
structure for where the share{s} is located is not owned by root in
anyway the bug goes away.

But yes, check out 3.0.7 (this is on backports.org for deb/stable
users, patched as 3.0.6-something for redhat users and everyone else
can just grab the .patch =)

Cheers, 

M
