 ============
-Servers must support the NTLM SMB dialect (which is the most recent, supported 
-by Samba and Windows NT version 4, 2000 and XP and many other SMB/CIFS servers) 
 Servers must support either "pure-TCP" (port 445 TCP/IP CIFS connections) or RFC 
-1001/1002 support for "Netbios-Over-TCP/IP." Neither of these is likely to be a 
-problem as most servers support this.  IPv6 support is planned for the future,
