well,
unless the upgrade is really needed, there is a far simpler way of keeping
things secure. simply don't run samba on the machines that need direct
internet access (I have 3 of the 8 machines at home here setup as samba
fileshares, and they are only accessible to me or each other and NONE ever go
out on the net).
otherwise, a good idea is to upgrade as soon as practicable.
