    I am following the How To from this URL: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/FastStart.html#id2464512
    Here are some things that I've noticed:
     Group names appear all lower-case:
     getent missing, I am pretty sure that it can be found in Fedora Core 3 and also SuSe. The thing has always been missing in FreeBSD and the Samba3 docs may need updating.
     Created a usermap file but it doesn't appear to honor it:
      username map = /usr/local/etc/username.map
       <FreeBSDUserName>=<WindowsUserName>
     Inside mapped username directory on FreeBSD by way of XP browsing access is denied in creating anything.
     Inside mapped user's directory on FreeBSD via XP and when deleting something it goes away but then a refresh on XP window and the item returns. No access denied message is thrown.
     I don't know if I did it or Samba did it but in the /etc/passwd there are user names within the range of idmap uid/gid (This is on Samba 3.0.5) but on the Samba 3.0.11 no user names have been changed (they sill have the FreeBSD assigned Ids).
       idmap uid = 15000-20000
       idmap gid = 15000-20000
     in passwd;
     nagios:*:15035:15030::0:0:Nagios pseudo-user:/var/spool/nagios:/nonexistent
     Separator has changed from a '+' to a '\' (Wish somebody would stop doing that, heck on a SuSe Machine, it once was an 'm' that one baffled me.) Unless of course I'm thinking of something else, but still why did it go from TEL+ to TEL\?
      Samba 3.0.5 wbinfo -g reports:
       TEL+Exchange Domain Servers
      Samba 3.0.11 wbinfo -g reports:
       TEL\exchange domain servers
    Oh, and most importantly... Thanks for helping with that CVS thing. Worked great. My working system allows me to do the things I do while the 3.0.11 just drives me nutso. I'm thinking of trying 3.0.5 on the other system to see if it is behaving. But not just yet.
    uname -a reports (holding off upgrading the world for the moment):
    FreeBSD oracle.internal.qualmax.net 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Nov 5 04:19:18 UTC 2004 root@harlow.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386

    Here's my smb.conf (System is acting as a domain member) for 3.0.11
    [global]
       workgroup = INTERNAL
       netbios name = ORACLE
       server string = %h server (Samba %v)
       security = DOMAIN
       username map = /usr/local/etc/username.map
       load printers = yes
       printcap name = cups
       printing = cups
       show add printer wizard = No
       idmap uid = 15000-20000
       idmap gid = 15000-20000
       winbind use default domain = Yes
       use sendfile = Yes
       log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
       max log size = 50
       socket options = TCP_NODELAY
       dns proxy = no
    #============================ Share Definitions ==============================
    [homes]
       comment = Home Directories
       browseable = no
       writable = yes
    # NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to
    # specifically define each individual printer
    [printers]
       comment = All Printers
       path = /var/spool/samba
       browseable = no
    # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
       guest ok = no
       writable = no
       printable = yes
