samba
hi all
having lots of issues with Macs connecting to samba servers being published via Red Hat 5.1.
Seems to be varring problems depending on what OSX version we run from 10.5 to 6.3. I found a not on one of the forums about adding the unix extenstions= no
and that has cured a few macs but not. There also seems to be various problems with the different builds of samba. I have found that Samba version 3.0101411
handles symbolic linking better than newer release. i am going to be setting up a new server for our samba connections which i am going to try and link to our active directory. But what i would like to find out is what is the most stable version of samba which does not have all the issues i am currently having. Seems that Apple have really screwed up there latest releases
regards
Treds

       rhn_check - check for queued actions on RHN and execute them

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/rhn_check [-v] [--verbose]

DESCRIPTION

       rhn_check  is  a  client  program that connects to the Red Hat Network backend servers and retrieves information associated with the queued
       actions for this particular system. This script reads the digital server ID from /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid and uses that to identify  the
       machine to the Red Hat Network. Upon successfull authentication, rhn_check will start processing the queued actions sequentially.

       refresh		 This action will refresh the hardware or software profiles of this
			 machine with Red Hat Network. This fucntion is called as
			 refresh(hardware) or refresh(rpmlist)
       new_systemid	 This action is used by the RHn Backend to update the Digital
			 system ID of this machine with a new one.
       update_packages	 This action will trigger rhn_check into running a package
			 update for a list of packages queued from the Red Hat Network.
			 rhn_check will use modules from the up2date client to download
			 the packages, solve dependencies and install the on the system.

FILES

       /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid  The digital server ID for this machine if the system has been registered onto Red Hat Network.  This file does
