samba - Oct 2004 - Fedora Core 3 Test 3

This may already be well known here, but Samba 3.0.7 does not work with the new
Fedora Test.  I hope this is resolved for the final version, but it's
something I have struggled with for over a week only to finally find the notice
in the release notes for Fedora Core 3 that the firewall for FC3T3 breaks Samba.

Before starting a panic attack, you should really specify what exactly 
is the problem here. 

The real problem (according to Fedora) is when you try to 'browse the 
network' (use the samba client) from a FC3 box with the *default* 
firewall turned on.  Not run a server, that appears to work fine (again 
according to bugzilla) provided you either turn off the firewall or add 
the needed rules.  In this case, apparently turning off the firewall is 
a workable workaround.
