I don't have any details to add unfortunately. I'd assume following the

    Hi James,
    Thanks for your feedback. Actually we are not familiar with MS
    Windows.
    Do you know any GNU/Linux docs that address the issue you
    mentioned? It
    would be great if the samba doc is specially for Debian or Ubuntu.

    Regards,
    Steven
