[Samba] Just a thought, all this "swen" stuff, this list

[Arturo Busleiman]

True. This account was new. No one new about it. Openldap and Samba where
the two firsts lists where I posted from it. I automatically started to
get spam. It's not a crazy idea to think conspirationally. It's just a
list, and it's plain easy to attack it.
