samba - Aug 2003 - Production release date for samba 3.0

Hi,
      I have to upgrade a number of samba servers to version 3 to fix an
issue with NTLMv2.  Our company is rolling out new XP desktop's (approx
2000 users) and have enforced a security policy on the XP clients of NTLMv2
only...sigh.  I have setup a test server with 3.0 beta3 and verified that
it works ok,   I was wondering what date we could expect a production
release of samba 3, or do/will any samba 2.x releases support NTLMv2.

Thanks in advance,
Mark Jackson

"Real soon now".  We are planing RC1 for this Friday.  We'll have
to see
how that goes but I would expect at least one additional RC (but hopefully
not much more than that).
