Hey Buchan, thanks for this information. And with appologies to the list this was the purpose of my short message announcing the beta release. I know that you are working on it and was hoping that you would be awake and would answer. I do have a very keen interest in samba 3 and would appreciate your opinion. I understand that even that alpha release has been used in production so, for the improvements that samba 3 brings that work it could even be put into production. Alpha 24 has some improvements but I noticed that it was never packaged. I was curious to know but never bothered to ask. I have not gone through the changes in beta1 but will probably help me in my objective that is, first replace one of the 6 PDCs by making Samba3 a BDC first and then switch it to PDC. Because of the relationships with other PDCs I could not incorporate Samba 2.2 as BDC/PDC. We have no W2K servers around so I think I have a better chance of success with this plan. We do have a few W2K workstations and also a couple of XPs. I am also interested in using LDAP as the backend therefore my interest in your experience. Thanks again for your explanation and look forward to your input on the status of Samba3/LDAP functionality. On a final note, I have looked around for efforts in moving distros into the business arena and have the impression that the Mandrake community is the most aggressive when it comes to living on the edge. There are times when this is asking for trouble (in a business environment) and there are times when it is a blessing. I guess that the effort to have Samba 3 ready for 9.2 will give Mandrake a lot of respectability.
