I have Yes, but on the other hand it is the server admin's job to test new software and to decide if and when he starts to deploy it on his production machines. And what about those users/admins who want to test new samba versions to actively help the samba team with improving the software? They would have to modify the port on their own to get the newest version. To be able to install and test brand new software (without being forced to do so!) is one of the best features of FreeBSD's ports system. If people want to play it safe, they can still use Debian/RHEL/whatever. :) Uwe
