Oh, Lord no !! Why do bad windows hacks, necessary to force windows to do what Microsoft only invented about 1998 or so, when *nix has had this natively since the late 70's ? Samba is merely a hack to allow windows to do badly what *nix has done very well for very, very much longer. Remember, at it's heart and soul, Windows is a single user single tasking video game that has been expanded, while *nix is a multi-user multi-tasking network based system at its heart. > I must admit > Linux "domains" have always confused me coming from a Windows background. Not too surprising, since Micro$oft has misused the term to mean something different that it historically means, creating confusion that didn't previously exist. Even today, Micro$oft still uses the same term for different meanings, one historical, and one made up, without distinction. Confusion is the expected result. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com DETERIORATA Go placidly amid the noise and waste, And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof. Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep. Rotate your tires. Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself, And heed well their advice -- even though they be turkeys. Know what to kiss -- and when. Remember that two wrongs never make a right, But that three do. Wherever possible, put people on "HOLD". Be comforted, that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment, And despite the changing fortunes of time, There is always a big future in computer maintenance. You are a fluke of the universe ... You have no right to be here. Whether you can hear it or not, the universe Is laughing behind your back. -- National Lampoon _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
