Protecting Unpatched Servers
- - ----------------------------
The Samba Team always encourages users to run the latest stable
release as a defense of against attacks. However, under certain
circumstances it may not be possible to immediately upgrade
important installations. In such cases, administrators should
read the "Server Security" documentation found at
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/server_security.html.
