Thanks. You are right - I'm using stable. But, I thought that I could override the version of Samba (or other packages) included in the distribution by using the syntax in my original post (i.e., samba=3.0.5-1). Am I mistaken?
Can I customize "stable" so that I use newever versions of some of the packages (like Samba)? If so, is there a "HOW-TO" covering this?
