Chris, I strongly suggest you get on the Samba mailing list for stuff
like this. The Samba developers hang out there and are very helpful:
http://lists.samba.org/cgi-bin/weblist?list=SAMBA;newuser=1
It's not super-high-volume, either, like debian-users...
Meanwhile, I've forwarded this to the list; this is probably old hat to
somebody there.
How about it, guys?
