I have upgraded recently...someone else pointed me to that bug, and
so...if it's not too much trouble I will layout what I do to make sure
I'm not missing something in the upgrade process. :)

I go to Synaptic and search for Samba...according to Synaptic the
installed version is 3.0.7-1ubuntu5 and the latest version is
3.0.7-1ubuntu5 for Samba, smbclient, smbfs, samba-common, samba-doc and
so on. So, unless I'm completely missing something I have the latest
packages for Samba. Is there something else that I need to update? Or am
I making some stupid n00bish mistake that you can all laugh at me
for? :)
