I sent an email on this, but to sum it up: I suggested he compile
the latest source (I think RH5 came out before the latest version
of samba, but I'm running it on RH4.2) and go through the test
steps in Diagnosis.txt, and then report back if he still has any
problems he can't solve on his own. Anybody else like to chime in?
