I just noticed the URL for installation steps further down this thread, from "rgerdes". His page looks very complete but is over a year old and for OS X 10.3. Did anything change for 10.4?

Also it appears that using FINK or Darwin Ports as the "easy way to install" will actually revert you back to OLDER versions than what is currently in OS X 10.4!

In the case of Fink, the 'new' version it shows is SAMBA 2.x and OS X 10.4 already has version 3.x installed. So if one has to actually download the source and compile it themselves to get the latest updates, does it replace the Built-in OS X version (as "rgerdes" instructions appear to imply) or is it like Fink, a parallel install with some minor configuration file changes needed?

Getting OS X to integrate with Windows networks is VITAL to Macs being accepted in the business world for things other than just desktop publishing. Why isn't he SAMBA updates being supported more by Apple? <sigh> maybe in OS X 10.5...
