The more I use samba and the more I read the e-mail coming into this list, I believe that a new look should be taken into how samba his configured, since more and more people are having problems with setup up of samba.

Samba is basically  used in 2 different ways:

"client") In a Windows ADS environment where you want to access facilities on UNIX servers:
    printers: - print to Unix printers.
    File-system: - access to Unix files plus ACL.

"server") In a Windows environment where you don't have (or don't want) a windows ADS
    Samba Domain Server - Samba replaces the Microsoft ADS


I think there are a lot more Applications and i would not call them
"Client" and "Server" the way you do.


I know you will say that it does all these things, but people are having many problems setting it up (i.e. in a "client" mode you need an ldap server if you want ACL to work) OR is it simply down to documentation OR user error!


I am not sure what ACL u mean. We are using Posix-ACL (simulating
NTFS-ACLs) without LDAP.
