Hi
OK. So I run:
samba
I then have AD and a decent fileserver which manifests itself as smbd in 
the logs. Both run on the same box. winbind seems to be running too.

If I type:
samba
I get AD, a fileserver and winbind
If I type:
smbd
I get just a fileserver.

Questions:
1. Is that correct?
2. Is the smbd that is in /usr/local/samba/sbin the same smbd that ships 
with samba 3.6?
3. Wait, it can't be becasue I can't use my old S3 smb.conf with it 
because it doesn't understand stuff like create mask = 0700. What do the 
devs say?

It may be clear to devs but to end users it seems very difficult to 
penetrate the technical barrier.

Thanks,
Steve
