Hi Dave,


I am more of a FreeBSD oriented person and don't use samba myself.
However, we have several guys that are familiar with it on the LUAU
Linux list.

One is Gary Sublett and I think Ho'ala Greevy If you post to
  LUAU <luau at videl.ics.hawaii.edu>

There are a couple of the Military Guys on the list who are out of state
who also know Samba and Monmatha can probably help too. His on the list
from his home in Indiana. Warren Togami also may be able to help you.
