Triggered by the recently detected vulnerabilities in SAMBA our IT 
department now plans to enforce SMB V2 as the minimum version for all 
PCs. SAMBA on OpenVMS only supports SMB V1. Thus we will not be able to 
transparently connect our PCs to our OpenVMS server any longer. Without 
this easy access from the PCs to data on the OpenVMS system it will lose 
acceptance and eventually be replaced with something else. We need a 
modern SAMBA version, and I do not think we are the only ones.
