I don´t have any problem _not_ using samba 2.0.7 but staying with 2.0.5. There is no (and, if my opinion counts, won´t be) any W2k-client in my network. If 2.0.7 depended on a kernel >=2.2 apt wouldn´t have upgraded samba, and I´d had about 2 hours more time for something else which I`ve spent trying to get 2.0.7 to work ;-) >> I´ve filed a bug-report against samba 2.0.7, so let´s just sit back, >> wait&see. > > Well, I've sent Eloy Paris (Debian's Samba maintainer) a > bugreport a looooog time ago (MONTHS ago) and didn't hear back > from him yet. :-( Maybe Eloy gets too much direct mail (it´s that case with some things I maintain although they´re not software pakages) ;-) cheers, &rw -- / Ing.
