This isn't helpful in the context of an office/work environment with mixed clients and non-technical folks, etc. But for your own use, you might have much better success on a mac client system with macfuse/sshfs. I don't bother to connect my mac to my (FreeBSD) file server via smb/samba at all anymore - I just use sshfs. I wish I could do that with my Sonos system and then I wouldn't have to run samba at all ...
