Mac Dave 2.1 and Samba 2.0.0/2.1-pre-alpha don't communicate

[Bill Nugent]

Howdy,

I tested the new test version of Dave 2.1 with Samba 2.1 pre-alpha and it 
works!

I also tried adding "fstype = Samba" to the [global] section of the 
smb.conf file and this worked as well with the production copy of Dave 
2.1.

	Thank you all for the help,
	Bill
