I respect that some may be experiencing difficulties with deployment of 
Samba 3.6.0.

I have been using 3.6.0 in its various pre-release forms (and now the 
stable release) for many months without a single problem.  I have 
deployed it in some very complex as well as some simple configurations - 
all without any issues.

The purpose of this response is to point out that Samba 3.6.0 is perhaps 
not as "not really ready" for production use readers of this list may 
interpret from these reports.

Cheers,
John T.
