The 2.1 release has a new smb ioslave which is very different from the 2.0 
one- for the 2.1 release it would probably make sense to do a)ditch the old 
stuff and document the new.

But....
Work is going on by the Samba team- one guy in particular who is being 
sponsored by Caldera, to create a Samba library that will enable us to write 
a new ioslave that works much better for the 2.2 release.  That ioslave is 
pretty much done- just waiting for the library to finish development to 
polish it up.  Then the ioslave will be different again- but the kcontrol 
module shouldn't be too different.  So I don't know what you want to 
do....but that's the status of the situation.
