[Gloucs] RPi and samba

Yes, but this came from my modified Netgear Stora NAS box, not from my
RPi. My RPi does successfully connect to this share, though, and plays
media files from Samba using Raspbmc. The share is *deliberately*
writable (but a cron job loops through once a week and marks any files
over 60 days old as read-only; I then have a script to touch & chmod
anything old that I want the family to be able to modify/delete).

smbstatus says "Samba version 3.0.28-0.el5.8.oe5.2" which I've no doubt
is old and insecure, but it holds no valuable nor confidential
information (unless you're my three-year-old son, in which case the
archive of 1960s Batman episodes are undoubtedly priceless).
