Created a new folder and renamed it.
Named it the same as a file in the current directory.
Folder replaces file. (Expected error to be generated)
I am using Nautilus to browse and perform file/dir operations listed above. I do not have the technical knowledge of samba to determine if this is expected behavior of the protocol, a server problem, or a client problem.
I think this affects the "samba"-package, adding it.
