I've no idea where 3.0.33 came from.
Thanks for the Volker reference. Have you used his packages at all? His
site looks pretty professional, so I probably shouldn't be concerned.
Now all I need to do is figure out how to migrate from 3.0 to 3.3
smoothly. Any insight?

Do you have 3.3 on FC11 you can do a test with? It's really simple. On a
windows machine with N: (or whatever drive) mapped to a samba share,
open a command prompt and execute the following commands:
N:\>echo test > testfile
N:\>attrib +r testfile
N:\>attrib testfile
A R N:\testfile
N:\>ren testfile testren
Access is denied.
If you don't get the last reply, then the bug's fixed. If you get the
denied message, then the bug lives on.
