I should point out that: (a) I installed YDL 4.0 from scratch (over a pre-existing 3.0.1 install... didn't keep anything from 3.0.1) and tried to configure SMB only to find out that the samba that shipped with YDL 4 was broken (I messed around with the config file trying to fix it); (b) I did all the stuff described in the previous e-mail to patch & compile samba; (c) installed samba as per the rpm command provided in that e-mail; (d) copied my old /etc/samba folder contents (from YDL 3.0.1) to my current folder; (e) started Samba using webmin (www.webmin.com; may also now be available through yum in YDL 4.0); and, (f) logged in from OS X (joy joy joy... now I can auto-login again AND ALSO have long file names since OS X10.3.8 + netatalk 1.6.4 don't really like each other that much).
