I've never suggested that anybody put any work on hold. I'm just worried about others promising features that I personally feel might not be compleated in the timeframe and that I *know* have major hurdles in the way. In particular given that I'll probalby be the one working on it anyway. (I just like to set my own timelines). I'm currently putting a lot of effort into both getting a workable, *real*, SAM implmenentation - so as to allow the AD work. > I'm of the opinion that a good, workmanlike > kerberos implementation able to work with AD > is the most desirable single item for 3.0, and > that there is a community of folks, like myself, > that would like to jump from a security=user, > unix-centric configuration straight to a security=kerberos > unix-centric configuration (;-)) Given current progress, this isn't somthing that will be done for 3.0, but is a very worthwhile goal. (Actually, most of the work is really outside Samba anyway).
