We upgraded our Samba server and had issues with paradox.  Turned out to 
be ACl problems but in discussing SMB1 with the Samba mail list they 
strongly suggested moving away from anything dependent on it like the 
BDE.  A.) There are know vulnerabilities (although mitigated by some 
updates and virus software).  B.) MS doesn't want to support it anymore.

We've been warning for years that the BDE would someday be unworkable 
but that day may be getting closer.  While there are workarounds none of 
them are easy.

Happy Tuesday everyone!
