How can i reduce this? Samba is not well structured from the point of view of people only trying to build a small number of components like that, however, it may be that you do actually need much of that stuff. I have just gone through the process of extracting part of smbtorture out to simply do the netbench stuff, and I have reduced the number of files built and linked from 122 to about 33. However, I do not want to do that for Samba. Regards ----- Richard Sharpe, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
