Questions about file system support in Samba

["Hibbard Smith" <smitty (at) essnjay.com>]

Thank you for this.  I have a couple questions.  I hope you don't mind.

Do you access the shares with smbclient and Windows XP Pro(SP2)?
What version is your kernel (mines 2.6.14 or 2.6.11) and samba (I've tried
3.0.14 and 3.0.21b)?
