I have never run the SAMBA 2.0.3 release, but there was a report earlier 
on this list that a fresh install on SAMBA for OpenVMS will need the 
/LISTEN flag set on the SMBD service.

Apparently this flag used to be set by default.  I do not have any 
documentation on this flag either.  You may want to contact the CSC 
about it.

All versions of SAMBA for OpenVMS from 1.19.x to 2.0.6 on the OpenVMS Freeware

CD-ROM are probably affected.

OpenVMS does not have a single root directory, so a chroot() function is
meaningless.
