   The problem is that newer versions of Slackware has newer versions of   
   applications like samba. Most parameters possible to configure in   
   smb.conf are not mentioned in that file but get their default values   
   instead. The problem is that some of these default values change between   
   different versions of samba.   
      
   I don't know what reason, but there is probably some reason that the   
   developers of samba decided to increase the default min protocol. Maybe   
   they wanted to avoid some security weaknes in those older protocols.   
   Maybe they simply thought that noone is using such old unsupported   
   versions of Windows nowadays anyways.   
      
   But, yes, I do agree that every time I upgrade to a newer version of   
   Slackware there is a lot of work to adapt that version to my network and   
   once that is done it remains a lot of work to adapt my network and   
   applications to the new version of Slackware.
