Evidently the samba engineering group is in Prague. I don't know if it is a
language problem, or where the confusion is coming from, but even after
escalating this through our regional support manager, they are still
refusing to fix this bug and claiming it is an RFE.

Havn't tested the bundle samba stuff for a "long" time, since I don't trust
it: The bundled stuff didn't work when tested; packages are IMHO
awefully assembled; Problems are not understood by the involved engineers
(or they are not willingly to understand); The team seems to follow the
dogma, fix the symptoms and not the root cause.

For Opensolaris, Solaris CIFS != samba. Solaris now has a native in kernel CIFS server which has nothing to do with samba. Apart from having it's commands start with "smb", which can be confusing.
