Ah, I see. I was confused. I thought that by SMB server what was meant 
was Microsoft's own SMB based service - not the OpenSource Samba Server 
running on Linux. Still I believe that defaults should be set for common 
situations. Is it more common that a Cygwin user on a Windows box is 
dealing with SMB mounts from a Windows Server or a Linux Server using Samba.

In any event I do indeed use a Linux machine at home and do use Samba to 
share things. I also use smbntsec. I haven't seen any problems but since 
I have Linux I tend to just ssh there and work with the command line 
there directly. Can you describe or point to these problems in Samba and 
how they manifest themselves?
