[Samba] Samba 3.6 security fixes

[John Blac]

Thank you for the responses!

Hi Helmut, I actually prefer moving into a newer version that has all the
great new features, but due to policies inside our firm it will be a long
process. I find the idea of modifying the new version Samba to start up
like the old version. Very crafty! :)

Hi Volker, yes we do have a support contract with Red Hat and Oracle. The
version we are currently using is compiled by us and not from any vendor.
Thank you suggestion, I'll try to ask the Samba team.
