Hi guys!

I have already asked about the availability of a halfway recent samba
package about a month ago. Unfortunately no one has answered my
request... does this mean there is nothing out there? is anyone working
on something like that?

I am well aware that windows filesharing is not one of the standard
things one is doing with a firewall/router, but a friend of mine has
only a small home network and the other pcs are laptops with limited
space, that his 40 gb ide-harddisk doesn't fit into. If someone can
think of another solution to let him play his mp3s, please tell me ;)

I am starting to get ready to dig into the developers documentation and
work on my own samba package. are there any hints you have for my in
that case? should i compile from scratch, or just try to find a suitable
binary from debian pre potato (that i can't remember the name of right
now - never saw toy story, sorry), that doesn't need glibc? Space
constraints aren't that much an issue as it obviously needs a hard
drive, that I already have configured as the booting device.

Anyway, I am ready to do this, but would like to be sure that I don't
have to repeat work that others have already completed. By the way, if
you are interested in running samba on leaf too, tell me now and I might
put in some effort to make something others can use as well.


thanks
Fabian
