Right, however the Vista and 2003 server thing is the reason for doing 
the changes in that way (rebasing and not backporting).

Once rebasing decision is made (not my decision ... made upstream :_) ), 
all config files need to be re-evaluated and changed as necessary, 
regardless of the clients involved, as there are different options ... 
some added, some removed, etc.

run this command:

testparm

Also you may want to look here:

http://samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.25b.html

Also follow the links to 3.0.25a, 3.0.25 to see what items should change 
(in the config file) on an upgrade from 3.0.10 TO 3.0.25b.

The bottom line is that your config file may need some work to function 
properly, and what you potentially need to change totally depends on 
what you currently have in your smb.conf file.

Thanks,
