I cannot confirm this. A few weeks ago, I asked a very specific
question about being unable to print to a Windows box using smbclient,
going down to a network trace of the SMB exchange, and got absolutely
no response. I think that question was _too_ detailed :-(

The bug report I opened in bugzilla is also still unanswered.

Samba seems to have become too popular to be able to maintain a high
support and discussion level in the mailing lists. I notice the same
with other open source projects gone mainstream such as netfilter and
quagga/zebra (which unmasks me as a network, not a system guy *g*).

Greetings
Marc
