Against 3.0.24-10:

- What about "auth" macro? Why the explicit or implicit "Requires: pam >= ..."
could not be enough?

- Certainly "samba" subpackage must require "samba-common". For the current rpm
program, "Requires(pre): something" implies an ordinary "Requires: something"
too, but to be more robast, add explicit "Requires: samba-common = ...." anyway,
notwithstanding of "...(pre)" existence.

- Whether "samba-doc" actually requires "samba-common"?

- Replace "/usr/lib", "/usr/lib*" just to %{_libdir}

- Changelog section still has "macros" (since 21 May 2001 and to EOF)

- It seems to be more useful to move "docs/registry" from "-docs" to the main
subpackage.

- All the docs/manpages contain non-ascii non-UTF8 symbols. Moreover, it looks
not like a "national symbol in author's name", it could be some formatting mess.
Do "iconv -f UTF-8 < nmbd.8" for example.

- Init scripts: there is no need to check for /etc/rc.d/init.d/finctions
existence. (f.e. httpd and vsftpd do not such an extra check).

- winbind.init: /var/lock/subsys name should match the initscript name, i.e.
should be "/var/lock/subsys/winbind", not ".../winbindd" (rmplint complains
about it).

Since "/var/cache/samba" is no more used, maybe create a symlink to
/var/lib/samba? Perhaps this way (old and new places are playing together) the
migration procedure could be simplified...
