I must admit that I havn't been looking into samba for several weeks,
although I keep checking out the newest version every second day. I had
the impression that things were far too much in flux and that I'd end up

However, I'll have a look again starting Wednesday night.

</nofill>I certainly don't feel left out. And I'm happy to see that NetInfo is part
of Samba (I guess the folks at Apple too, as they seem to want to use
Samba for Windows connectivity ...)

Not quite sure what you mean here, but I'll look into the newest stuff first.
