Ahh good. I didn't think this had bearing on things here at the moement. I
can see it becoming a future item. I'll file it under the 'be aware of'
department.

Yup, it requires you to mount a smbfs filesystem from a hostile
system onto linux. This is a different animal than samba. This
is a network filesystem mounted kind of like nfs (fs type will say
smbfs).
If you don't have users mounting file shares onto your linux servers
using smbfs, this should not affect you. The reverse... windows
clients mapping samba shares from your server onto their PC is
something different.
