are running alpha2 of samba 2.2.  From my experience with coding, this
application is more like a beta that an alpha.

Normally, I wouldn't mess with alpha code, but in the case of Samba, it was
recommended by many in the community to download the CVS version.  I'm
running it as a PDC and other than a few little non-critical issues, it runs
better than my $2500 copy of Win2k server.  I was rebooting my server on a
regular basis with Win2k server.  I've haven't rebooted in nearly two weeks
with Samba running on a the same hardware under Linux.

Seems like Win2k is more of an alpha version of code than Samba.
