Hi Volker, I hope my questions aren't seen as abuse. I am mentioning those products specifically because the client already makes use of them in production.
I'll keep specific product names out of my future e-mails.

Volker P.S: I hope this is not taken as an abuse of this list for advertising, but you're really trying to combine Samba with deeply integrated IBM products :-) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
