Rowland,

  I unfortunately don't have a Sernet subscription so I see no update 
path for me outside building myself. Am I mistaken?

I was under the impression when I installed from backports, it used all 
the default ./configure options in Samba. All I would need to change is 
folder locations. Obviously I'm wrong. Maybe it's best in my situation 
to build another member server and transfer the shares? I can see where 
one inadvertent omission in my configure command would muck things up.
