I'm pondering doing that update, being in favor of it myself. We made many updates to samba in Lenny that are not security-related and that one would qualify for an upload in s-p-u, imho. Objections from other team members? (there are other updates that I'd like to be able to include, particularly those related to ACL handling with Excel....that made me switch a Lenny production server from our 3.2.5 packages to 3.2.15.....but I need help in backporting the patches to 3.2.5)
