Hi Dariusz,
.....................
1) For ArcaOS - Lewis will end up packaging 4.9.5 as a rpm. I mainly provided these links for non-ArcaOS users, who people who like to live on the cutting edge 
2) 4.9.5 is a bug fix for the 4.9.x series, 4.10.0 is the next feature update for Samba. I'd consider 4.9.x more mature, but would welcome feedback on 4.10.x
3) Currently, ndpsmb.dll releases are paired with a specific samba support DLL, so it's important to use them as a matched pair.
Hope this helps,
Paul
Hi Paul, if still ontime I'd like to enquiry the following which maybe -hopefully- could unlock my situation in having NetDrive with samba plugin working .
I had opened a thread before here
https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,2064.15.html#lastPost and have been brilliantly supported by Sean Casey, who brought me to a good point, but at the last step had discontinued to respond, maybe for no more suggestion available.
Have intalled Samba 4-9-5 rpm from Arca subscription repository on my OS2 Warp 4.52, installation went appearently well, so if I give the following command in an OS2 window
smbclient \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\yyyyy
(it is my Windows 10 Users resource, Windows 10 is the hosting OS of my guest OS2 Warp 4.52 on Virtualbox)I obtain the following :gethostname failed
gethostname failed
Enter WORKGROUP\GUEST's password:
give enter again (no password to input) and I get this :Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.
smb: \>
then I command smb: \> dir
and the requested resource make its directories available . DR 0 Sat Jul 7 13:06:16 2018

this seems indicating Samba client working.
But I'm unable then to make NetDrive and its Samba plugin get working on same resource, after having mounted a resource drive letter and filled the smbfs plugin configuration fields in the table with same parametres of the OS2 Samba client command, it just gives back an error alert, this is also displayed in the other mentioned thread.
If there is no other clear reason for this issue (I mainly believe I'm doing something wrong, being not much experienced in this kind of application), can it be due to the fact that Samba 4.9.5 is not working specifically for OS2 Warp 4.52 ? Or maybe I'm using a samba plugin version (2.1.5 GA) for NetDrive which someway conflicts with this Samba client version?
Thank you -at least for having read till now-
