No, if you're using a samba version higher than in woody and lower than in unstable you need to care about security issues only. Just in some general circumstances the performance gain of a newer samba may be important to you (I still don't know why the samba maintainer used a samba alpha snapshot in unstable...)

Mind that the packages on http://download.kde.org have all recent KDE security issues fixed. So if you can do it you should update to 3.1.1a on download.kde.org via apt-get. > > A few replies here of "great for me" would be most helpful - or just > reply direct to me if you don't want to clutter the list. > > Thanks > > PS: Ralf (and others, I know): it's hard to express enough thanks for > all your packaging work - pizza / beer / whatever, is due :) > > Nick Boyce > Bristol, UK - -- We're not a company, we just produce better code at less costs. - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralf Nolden [EMAIL PROTECTED] The K Desktop Environment The KDevelop Project http://www.kde.org http://www.kdevelop.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+mmvpu0nKi+w1Ky8RAqCUAKCecKp6DLmeoLdNVsxNAp9ehrg7QgCeKyAN 2xZdvDdRUNuhERAzwc7OlFY= =JcYy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
