It was a very good class, made more interesting as John stayed at our house
for the duration so we had lots of time to discuss Samba, Open Source and
Open Standards, and solve the problems of the world :-).

We had some discussion on the OpenPKG system and philosophy, and got some
resistance from John as he has been fighting hard for the LSB standards.  I
plan to continue to work on him about this though as he was responsible for
the Samba packaging for Caldera and the SCO Group when he was with them.

True enough :-).

I'm glad to see the patch to the default smb.conf file that changed the
behaviour where Samba wants to be the master domain controller.  I meant to
say something about that as I recently installed Samba from OpenPKG Release
2.0 on a system, and people were a bit miffed when it took over for their
w2k domain controller.

The cry has been that when war is declared, all opposition should
therefore be hushed.  A sentiment more unworthy of a free country could
hardly be propagated.  If the doctrine be admitted, rulers have only to
declare war and they are screened at once from scrutiny ...  In war,
then, as in peace, assert the freedom of speech and of the press.
Cling to this as the bulwark of all our rights and privileges.
