[Samba] Samba 2.2.1a

[John H Terpstra]

Chris,

Strongly recommend you update to the most recent version 2.2.7, there will
be an update early next week that fixes issues with files larger than 2GB.

Your current version 2.2.1a is rather old and has known issues with WinXP.

If you need further help, please email me directly.
