My #1 priority as a sysadmin is, "make it work." But you are right; There is implied responsibility, when using free software, to help with problems. As you said, I am getting top-quality software at a rock-bottom price. It is worth our time and effort. I just hope I can convince the powers-that-be to let me test some configurations/clients. The challenge is it doesn't appear to be a problem with Samba but the clients. Regardless, I feel the Samba documentation ought to be noted when/if we can reproduceably show it to be the client's fault, so others don't fall into the same trap. If I'd have been warned, there is a chance we wouldn't have had the grief we did. /dev/idal P.S. The Cathedral is a great book. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
