Hi mvcube,
Yep, the box is up-to-date. At least for a fc2
(which is something like antique these days) it is.

Think I should build one of the newer samba versions myself.
I'v been using all loglevels from 4 to 10. Although these higher levels are very verbose there are still no errors present.
For now I'm exporting the leopard shares via good ol' nfs. I'll probably will stick with that. Allthough it doesn't provide anything like smb's creation masks I like it's robustness and it's performance.
Thanks though!
