[Samba] Switching to another Samba server

[John H Terpstra]

David,

Suggest you update to samba-2.2.6 or later (there will be an update later
this week). The /root/tmp issue was a known problem with 2.2.2 and has
been fixed. Best advice is to update to 2.2.6. If you then still have a
problem, email me <jht at samba.org> and I will try to assist.
