somehow it doesn't seem to work. In the office I downloaded the source
rpm  from your ftp  server, buildt it, uninstalled  the old samba from
the Redhat 5.2 and  installed the new 2.0.0  from TL. But when I tried
to use

  smbclient -L host

to get a list of the services offered by "host", I  got only a startup
message (without errors) but nothing else. No list.  And no prompt for
a  password.  After uninstalling the  samba from TL and installing the
Redhat one again, it worked as it did before: It  starts with an error
message but nevertheless prompts for a password and everything works.

Is this possibly a compatibility problem of Redhat 5.2 and TL3.0E?
