(Or would if > people knew about them 8) Well, I'd recommend to let the samba code in the ports area, since it's changing very rapidly. People wouldn't want to use the "old" samba in the FreeBSD-RELEASE. I assume, they would want to have the newest one... Perhaps we should discuss that at a later time, when samba has reached a 'not rapidly changing' state (as pcnfsd for example). Generally I'd vote for it. But maybe not now. -- andreas@knobel.gun.de /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ - Support Unix - aklemm@wup.de - \/ ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz apsfilter - magic print filter 4lpd >>> knobel is powered by FreeBSD <<<
