Hi Jeff, Thanks for the answer! I agree that something is broken with the server. However, since the server sends correct packets to Windows and Mac (as evidenced by the other capture), I thought there may be something in the linux client that exposes a hidden bug on the server, and there may be a workaround, and someone among the experienced CIFS masters might have heard of it :). I may try and find out what that is when I have time...
