Guys, stop pissing off Rowland, please, we still need him here tomorrow.
When Rowland feels it's necessary to state that he's a Samba team member,
you just know you crossed the line  ;-)

Joking aside, there seems to be some confusion about the terminology.
"Works with" and "Supported by" are two entirely different things. You can
do tons of things with Samba that are great and work just fine. Just be
aware that as soon as you deviate from the standard as it is described in
the (very helpful) Samba Wiki, you're unlikely to get answers to your
issues on this list. The same goes for almost any other software package,
by the way.
