I have just upgraded to samba 3.0.26a on my Gentoo Linux system using the same old configuration so that I can integrate with my windows 2003 AD domain (worked fine in previous versions). Something might be broken because it reports that 'realm' is an unknown parameter in smb.conf and it won't join my domain anymore.
