I’d also like to thank you for this very helpful tidbit! It certainly worked for me too!

Thank you for your hint!

This helps a lot.

However, after applying the change to the smb.conf, our server does not show up in Finder anymore.

Instead I have to manually use Apple + K in order to connect to the server via its IP address.

Have you not had similar issues? Can you think of a solution to this?

Any help would be highly appreciated!

You know what’s cool? Disabling all the cool authentication of your Samba shares. Leopard fails again!

Thank you for that little hint – I was wondering what went wrong with my symlinks!
