Great :)  The word "Alpha" in relation with software revisions always
frightens me (Windows even comes to mind)
I gave samba-2.0.0-alpha8 s spin (on HP-UX) but had problems with configure
and compiling.  Expect a patch from me in the near future.

I wanted to thank you for your quick responce and ask if large filesystem
(>4G) meight by available for current sambas as a (totally unsupported, even)
patch :)
