[Samba] Packet Size 'Tuning'

[Andrew Mark]

Thanks for your suggestion of WireShark.

I'm hesitant to adjust the MTU of PPP0 too much as I'll have to 
ifdown/ifup the ppp0 interface and this is a live environment.
Also, data packets travelling not on port 137-139 or 445 do not emit the 
displayed error.

I will implement WireShark and post my findings

Cheers,
