There are also one or two new CIFS server implementations coming out of Asia
these days.  The Vantec NexStar LX is one example.  They have a proprietary
CIFS server implementation running on a embedded OS.  I've done some
checking--they claim to support the "Samba Protocol" but it isn't Samba code.

I would really like to have some folks from Vantec at the next CIFS plugfest.

As for the older versions of Samba...  I have had only minimal trouble
accessing a Linksys NSLU2 from my Linux and BSD systems.  The NSLU2 runs
Samba 2.2.mumble.
