Update net/samba to 3.0.1. Major changes from version 2.2.8anb6 include:
* Active Directory support. Samba is able to join a ADS realm as
a member server and authenticate using LDAP/Kerberos.
* Unicode support.
* New, more flexible authentication (passdb) system.
* A new "net" command that is similar to the "net" command in Windows.
* Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire, which
greatly improves error handling.
* Better Windows 2K/2K3/XP printing support.
* Loadable module support for passdb backends and character sets.
* More performant winbindd.
* Support for migrating from a Windows NT4 domain to a Samba domain
and maintaining user, group, and domain SIDs.
* Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT4 DCs.
* Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using an
LDAP directory for storing SID-to-uid/gid mappings.
* Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
* Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
compatibility with default Windows 2K3 security settings.
* Improvement of ACL mapping features.
