Changes in Sid behaviour recently introduced ... I guess.
Sorry to have bugged you when I could have just looked around a bit.

It wasn't meant retorically.  It was a genuine question.
But I'll find out soon enough with my own build as suggested.

I'm still a little confused about something.  You said to install the

patches are inside samba-3.0.23b.tar.gz. 

So is the only file I need to download samba-3.0.23b.tar.gz?
