I find it deliciously ironic that Windows Networking got a huge head start by bypassing Novell Client Access limiations. (ie, a single Windows Server would connect to the Novell Server, and re-share the data to all the clients on the network. MS was boldly advertising this tactict.) I wonder if there's traction to do the same thing with Samba :) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
