Speaking of Samba, this showed up on Slashdot today - an interview with
Andrew Tridgell (Samba creator)

http://afr.com/it/2002/10/01/FFXDF43AP6D.html

This was pretty funny, I thought:

Tridgell says that he recently discovered a certain combination of data 
which, when sent down the wire to a Windows server, rebooted it. "Every 
NT server just completely rebooted. We decided not to emulate that. We 
contact Microsoft about these bugs, and we get back emails saying, 'Have 
you got your computer switched on? Are you sure you've got all the 
latest patches?' Of course, you idiot! Just put me through to someone 
who knows what they're doing," he says.
