Please remember to distinguish bleeding edge users from the standard users. An SME Server release is a consistent set of packages.

Maybe another warning in the SME manual similar to > the one about hard drives and SME installs. ;-> No warning required - we have not changed Samba at all - we are using the RedHat Samba packages. They were recompiled to ensure library compatibility, but no code changes. The change to use "admin" is purely done through our layered package e-smith-samba. We _always_ try to avoid modifying the underyling packages and introducing code forks unless there is absolutely no option. And if we do, we try to revert to the standard stream as soon as possible.
