I happen to find the Samba product a Leap forward in the networkability for Linux in the Enterprise. Sure, as with any software, there is going to be issues. However, open source products are usually easier to maintain and fix. This is due to the dedication of people that spend their EXTRA time making a product for people to use and supporting it. If you don't like the product, there are ALLOT of other "Pay to use" software that will provide you with hours of heart ache setting up and, yes, bug fixing. BUT, you payed for it, so you can bitch about it.
As for me, I think Samba is a great product. Wont hear me bitching about it, or any other *nix software out there. I have spent the last 13 years supporting Microsoft software and networks, and I'm moving on the better pastures with Linux (Besids, my blood pressure was too high with all that patching and virus scanning and rebooting :-P) Anyway, off my soap box...
