[TriLUG] Samba, Linux (RH9), Mac question

I am running RH9 on a 700MHz P-III Dell system, and OS 9, AppleShare IP 
version 6.3 file server on a Mac. I am having the strangest trouble. The 
smbmount comes back without errors, or does not come back at all. Ether way 
if I do a "df" command I get the correct information (at least it is the 
same as I get from a PC running Windows 2000). If I do a "ls" command the 
mount directory is there. If I do a "ls -l" command the mount directory is 
not there. If I do a "cd" command I can change to the mount directory 
without errors. If I do a "ls" command inside the mount directory I get a 
"ls: .: Stale NFS file handle"error.

I have edited "/etc/fstab" and get the same results.  To make check my 
commands I changed from mounting directories on the Mac to mounting 
directories on a Windows 2000 PC.  Both the smbmount, and changing the 
fstab files worked for the PC.

Thanks
Charles Fischer
