I don´t have any problem _not_ using samba 2.0.7 but staying with
2.0.5. There is no (and, if my opinion counts, won´t be) any
W2k-client in my network.
If 2.0.7 depended on a kernel >=2.2 apt wouldn´t have upgraded
samba, and I´d had about 2 hours more time for something else which
I`ve spent trying to get 2.0.7 to work ;-)

Maybe Eloy gets too much direct mail (it´s that case with some things I
maintain although they´re not software pakages) ;-)
