Which version of SBS? I ran the NT4 based one on a network that included 
several Samba servers, we didn't have any more problems than we had 
without them. I did have to turn off the licensing service on the NT4 
servers because we were getting bogus too many connection errors. That 
was nothing to do with Samba, it was a known bug in NT4.
