Exactly :-) Most (if not all) readers of linux-kernel list is aware about
problem but quite a few SysAdmins new to Linux will be confused by this problem
and will blame Samba after scanning of MS KB ... Just a short example of "what

How much this will hurt linux and how much this will hurt MS -- it's other
question...
