Probably you should understand that people may be interested in other features and not sponsoring this particular part of the code. > here - yet again, another demonstration of how much money you have > been wasting.

This is NOTHING new Luke, we know the SID-[g,u]id mapping problems since a lot of time, the fact that you formalized the problem does not change the problem. I just double checked your draft, and it is just nice useless wording that show the problem but does never even propose an implementation, you always write that implementation is not in the scope of the document. We have not implemented what you call SURS part because of lack of time being busy implementing other more important parts of samba, and part because we wanted to get it right (and we tought your implementation was not). The api proposed by metze is just an api proposal to finally start coding it having found a way to implement it the right way as we finally have found what seem the right way to do it, taking in account all limits and trying to find out the best compromise. This is the part the ask for more hard work. Plus we have not limited ourselves to solve the problem locally, but to solve the problem in a distributed environment. You may claim you have told there was a problem 3 years ago. Well that's true nobody say it different. Problem is that solving it 3 years ago was not possible to do properly, too many pieces of code were missing or were not stable and usable at a point that implementing it 3 years ago would have simply be a waste of time. with sincere esteem, Simo. -- Simo Sorce - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Xsec s.r.l. via Durando 10 Ed.
