We just updated our fileserver to Samba 3.0 (last week).
We are running a windows domain with multiple user accounts, WinXp
workstations. The users have mapped their home/project shares to our
redhat fileserver.
Have not heard any bigger problems.
The only "difference" was that the new samba version seems to be case
sensitive for user or domain names. That's why we had to rewrite a
program that does some auto-mapping to our project accounts.
