Would you like to give the maintainer some money to hurry your absolute and urgent need? This has been said more than enough times, but people have jobs that actually make them money, and henceforth their priority. Resorting to negative comments doesn't make the testing phase of an updated port go any faster. > I neet to get a fileserver going right away. I would like > to use Samba. Perhaps I should just load Windows on it? How about working with the maintainer, testing patches, and helping with the port? That certainly would be more beneficial to the community. ;P ~Paul
