Thanks for the reply Everard,
It is samba version 3.0.28-0.e14.9. This is for a production system -
our city network. We hired consultants to move us forward from peer to
peer networking and to do an overall evaluation, and this is the
direction they are taking us. (They are Windows centric unfortunately
for me). I'm trying desperately not to allow them to move us off
Apache/CentOS so trying to make their work as easy as possible
integrating what we have. I could upgrade samba but have not yet
researched ramifications - hence my original question which you've
started the ball rolling on.
Since this isn't really bluequartz, perhaps I should take it off list.
Feel free to contact me directly.
thanks again, Jim
