I don't see why we would want to provide documentation in lenny's README for sarge->etch upgrades. Anyway, this password chat seems to still be broken in the default configuration and should be fixed, at the same time that we enable "pam password chat". > Since Samba 3.0.23 'net groupmap modify' now needs to be 'net groupmap > add'; additionally the RID has to be specified, using the form 'rid=<RID>' Again, documenting changes that are no longer relevant for etch->lenny upgrades.
