	I didn't catch my problem soon enough and it corrupted my DB,
so after going back to 3.5.10, I'm slowing working on ironing out the 
problems again.

I saw the joke on the suse servers...but these are the same guys jumping
to every new tech for 'stable' User releases (still haven't recovered from
an 11.2->11.4 server upgrade done last april...keep finding "gotcha's" and
collateral damage.

FWIW, I reported 3.6 problems in the user database area on the samba tech
list back a month ago...never got any feedback.

My prob, is everytime I get my config 'correct', they change the 
definition of
correct in a newer version...(sigh...what else is new...)...
