I cannot confirm this. A few weeks ago, I asked a very specific question about being unable to print to a Windows box using smbclient, going down to a network trace of the SMB exchange, and got absolutely no response. I think that question was _too_ detailed :-( The bug report I opened in bugzilla is also still unanswered. Samba seems to have become too popular to be able to maintain a high support and discussion level in the mailing lists. I notice the same with other open source projects gone mainstream such as netfilter and quagga/zebra (which unmasks me as a network, not a system guy *g*).
