Legacy?
Maybe only in environments where everyone is running only Windows
servers, all of them less than 2 years old :-) (I've yet to see such
an environment, btw).
The stable version of Samba (3.x) supports only SMB1.
Samba 4, which does support SMB2, is "not yet in a state where it can
replace existing production deployments"; the Ubuntu package
description says "experimental, should not be used in production".
In fact when I wanted to deploy an SMB2 service from Linux recently
(to get better file link semantics on a Windows client), I gave up on
it, it was too disruptive to replace Samba 3 with Samba 4.
This per-user patchset you've produced sounds quite useful, thank you.
Please don't think you are targetting only a few horribly outdated
environments with it :-)
