Hi all,

I've got a Debian 4 (etch) server and I need to use Samba version 3.0.30
or greater. Etch has version 3.0.24.

I see that Debian lenny has version 3.0.30 so I could bring in the .deb
from lenny in to my etch installation and hope it doesn't break
anything. Or, I could remove Samba and compile it from source (looking
at the args it was compiled with in etch).

Just wondering what peoples preferences are? Any tips or hints?
Upgrading the entire dist to lenny isn't an option either.

Regards,
David.
