This seems to be the case (i.e. there were bugs in version 1.9.16alpha10) as since I down graded all my hosts to using Samba 1.9.15p4 every thing is fine. I think I will wait for the debian package of samba 1.9.16p2 rather than installing it by hand. I'm in no hurry to upgrade samba as 1.6.15p4 works just fine. I would warn others from using Samba 1.9.16alpha10 and would go so far as to advise debian to remove 1.9.16alpha10 from rex and replace it with 1.9.15p4 from buzz pending the debian release of samba 1.9.16p2 (yes, that is how broken 1.9.16alpha10 is). In reading the samba news group (which I do now) I understand that the new version is quite stable. I would just like to finish by saying that this is the first major problem we have have had in the past year with an "unstable" version of debian. The completeness and robustness of the debian distribution (even in the, IMHO misnamed, unstable version) continues to astound me day after day. Debian truely is the best, most up-to-date, best supported, and easiest to use linux distribution that I know of on the market today. Thanks for everyone's help!
