I believe two or three loop bugs were found in the earlier releases of SAMBA. The current release is 1.9.16p2, you should probably install that release. I have been running it for a few weeks (on IRIX 5.3) and it seems quite stable (although there are a few browsing problems). You can fetch samba from the upstream site: ftp://nimbus.anu.edu.au/pub/ tridge/samba. _____________________________________________________________________ Don Gaffney (http://www.emba.uvm.edu/~gaffney) Engineering, Mathematics & Business Administration Computer Facility University of Vermont - 237 Votey Building - Burlington, VT 05405 (802) 656-8490 - Fax: (802) 656-8802
