It's upsetting that even though we had people from the Samba team
speaking at FreeBSD'con, they aren't making samba run as best it can
under FreeBSD without obtuse hacks or socket options.

Perhaps if anyone on the Samba team is listening you, can fix
Samba's configure scripts to add these tweaks to the default install
configuration?  After all, isn't that what 'configure' is supposed
to do?
