[Samba] Samba 3.0 alpha21 released

[daniel.jarboe at custserv.com]

And what about side-by-side installations?  Having both versions
installed... so I can run 3.x for a bit, stop it, and turn 2.x smbd back
on if needed?  I heard this was the case in tarball installation, but is
this supported by the RPM?

The official position is that a 2.2.x config file should work out of the

box with Samba 3.0.  The main exception to this is thatr "encrypt 
password + yes" is now the default.  If you require plain text 
authentication, you will need to set this accordingly in the config
file.

Feedback on this is much appreciated.
