Hmmm, could be interesting to learn about which ones. Since 2-3 years, we made great efforts in Debian to avoid changing the behaviour of samba in our packages wrt upstream behaviour. Several code patches have been discussed with upstream, often integrated and sometimes abandoned. As a consequence, I would say that I don't see reasons for the behaviour of samba in Debian or Ubuntu packages to be different from samba compiled from sources. Of course, assuming you're comparing the same upstream version. So, if there are such issues, the packagers might be highly interested to learn about them (the best being bug reports in the distro's bug tracker). I think the same also stands for packages in rpm-based distros. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
