(445 may also be necessary, but our samba DC is inside our rather tight firewall, so it doesn't run a firewall, just tight settings). > > > > P.S.

It was a bit of a rush, so I didn't have time to solicit help ;-). Anyway, if someone decides to look at building RPMs for other distros, get them to mail me so I can find out how to detect their distro/release (see samba package for an example of how we do it on Mandrake) so it isn't necessary to hard-code.
