[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#521020: MS Office reports "Access Denied" when saving to samba share

[brentgclarklist at gmail.com]

Package: samba
Version: 2:3.2.5-4
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss


Upgraded testing's samba, from then onwards, M$ Office 2007 could not save to share.
Strange thing is, is that its ONLY M$ Office.

Please read the following:

By downgrading samba and samba-common to stables version. Problem went away.

Kind Regards
