Samba's protocals (was 3 different OS)

["David Hodnett" <dwar@earthlink.net>]

I never got around to asking this question and I'm hoping I can get 
a quick yes/no answer.  On the Samba web site, in the 
"Introduction to Samba" FAQ, they have a section that details their 
future plans.

Paraphasing slightly, they said that with Microsoft Windows 2000, 
Microsoft hopes to gradually phase out NetBIOS, and 
consequently, the Samba team hopes to do so as well (and rely 
strictly upon TCP/IP).  Obviously, Windows 2000 has been out for 
years now and that part of the FAQ is outdated.

Question: can the latest version of Samba (version 2.2.1a) 
packaged for OpenBSD 3.0, deliver full functionality using strictly 
TCP/IP?

Reason: I'd really like to avoid installing NetBIOS on any of these 
machines since I don't have the time to keep up with the security 
holes in that protocal.
