Now, listen here, Malcolm - You keep your grubby fingers away from 
the Legato client ;^)

Why should you replace it - simply add another client for Retrospect.
That said, I'd say Dantz ought to cough up a backup client (at 
least..) for unix (read OS X and Linux).

Back to the topic, I suspect the issue is rather with M$, than with 
Samba, since M$ is notorious for altering protocols just al little, 
so that you get compatibility issues with all but M$ stuff...

Kind regards
