samba in wide-scale usage

[Chris Friedt]

Hi everyone, 

This is addressed to anyone out there using samba in a WIDE SCALE.

i.e. anyone using a class B subnet or greater, which links up two
hundred or so computers of differing OS's

I'm asking because we may be hosting some multi-platform access to
existing 'network drives' and printers.

I vaguely recall that Samba can automatically supply the correct
network printer driver based on the client OS, but one of the people
higher up have said that security is an issue with Samba. 

Has anyone been able to look at the security aspects of Samba in
great(er) detail?

~/Chris
