[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#486517: Another possible fix

[Tom R]

Another possible resolution is to mount the share with the nounix option. 

The following is from https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=402113

These errors are due to the servers running older versions of Samba that are not supporting "Linux extensions". Earlier, when the Linux extensions were negotiated and the client finds that the server doesn't support it, it silently works assuming no Linux Extensions support. Recently upstream code has changed in a way to explicitly fail the mounts to indicate buggy Linux Extensions support by the server and there is a mount option (-o nounix) provided if you still want to mount it.

Or Alternatively, disable unix extensions support in the server itself in
smb.conf by setting "unix extensions = no".

This resolution wasn't necessary for my copy of LennyBeta2; however, it was the resolution for my machine running openSUSE 11.0.
