Default Can Samba use alternate ports?

I'm setting up a small SOHO LAN with a mixture of Windows OSs, Linux
and BSD. My question involves setting Samba to use alternate ports
other than 135-139 and 445. From what I've found on searching old
archives by google, it may be possible but it likely to cause problems
with the Windows machines.
TIA.

Cheers,

You read correctly ... ;-)

Changing the ports for "better security" won't work anyway -- it's a
"broadcast (announcing)" protocol ;-(
