Please post general use questions to the samba at samba.org
list (see http://lists.samba.org/listinfo/samba for details).
The samba-technical mailing is for discussions of Samba
internals and development issues. Thanks.
Probably the fist comment you will receive is to upgrade :-)
Pleas test against 2,2.6rc2
cheers, jerry
