What I find most interesting is that the errors only occur when using finder. If I was working with files from a shell prompt, no problems at all.
I found several 'smb.conf' files in my Ubuntu 9.10, but I can't figure it out which one to modify. Could you just give me the path to the file?
Thank you.
/etc/samba/smb.conf. In other Linux distros it is typically found either there or at /etc/smb.conf. Samba Server For Mac Os X 10.13
unix extensions have never been working with osx, especially when acls are used.

Several people have written to me to point out that there are advantages to having Unix extensions on. That's true and this should be considered a workaround rather than a fix. When (if?) Apple fixes the underlying problem you should turn Unix extensions back on in your Samba server.
WOW! I was going through a lot of this when I recently set up a FreeNas box and was getting extremely frustrated with it. My solution was to manually upload everything via FTP to the server, but that did take a while.
Google drive for mac not syncing windows 10. Next time I have files to copy over, I will see if this works. Thanks for the awesome and timely tip!
I hit this problem the other day after upgrading to 10.6.3.
Mac Os Smb
I did a little bit of digging and discovered that it's apparently due to extended attributes on the files.
I was trying to copy some dmg images to my file server (Ubuntu 9.10, Samba 3.4.0) and it wouldn't work. If I tried to copy them via 'cp', I'd get an error about extended attributes.
Samba Server On Windows
I used 'xattr' on the affected files at the command line to remove all the extended attributes, and after that I was able to copy the files to my file server without a problem.
I thought maybe this hint would also fix the issue, but I didn't have a chance to test that before this hint about unix extensions came along (which works great, btw).
Hmm, so you need to adapt the external machine in order to correct a bug in OSX.? not very encouraging.
I am still stucked with the 'numerical passwords only' bug in SL. When connecting to my NAS (on a Linux box) I only get access if a I choose a password with numbers. Any character there will give me a 'non correct password' error in OSX 10.6.3 :-(
Hi,
Still i'm having the same issue after adding unix extensions = no. Still i can't rename the sub directories of my shared folder.
I'm using Snow leopard 10.6.3 client and Ubuntu 9.10 Samba server.
Looking forward your support.
Thanks,
