Sorry, never heard of it.

Yes, my Debian wheezy self compiled install shows that.

My first thoughts were, no they cannot be using Samba2 and I was right, 
they aren't. It seems that, unlike every other distro on the planet, 
they have come up with their own numbering system.

I have got to say this, even though it says not to edit the smb.conf, I 
would, at least half of it is not really required for a standalone samba 
server.

 From the problems that the OP is having, I think there has to be 
something wrong with the way the Samba package is being compiled.

Can you please post just how you are compiling and creating your samba 
package?
