My experiences are the same here.  See my note to Fred.

I have one problem with Lenny, which I run on a couple of boxes here.  I 
have an network HD storage device which has a SMB server on it.  I can 
"see" it and connect with all my Etch machines, but the Lenny machines 
won't connect although they "see"  it.  The device also has a FTP server 
and that works fine all all the machines.  I can't figure out if the 
problem is with SAMBA client or with the new version of KDE in Lenny.
