No, I am not an alternate personality for the OP. The OP asked for documentation regarding MS Windows workgroups and domains to help him write documentation for the Amahi project. If I understood your reply correctly, you believe UPnP and ZeroConf solves the problem of MS Windows workgroup management. While that may be an option it does not answer the OP request very well - or does it? It certainly does not help him to document the use of Samba which I understood as the nature of his request for assistance. > Otherwise, I'm a little confused by yours.

Maybe I am making too many assumptions, in which case mea culpa. > Did you even research the Amahi project? Yes! I might know a little bit about UPnP and the use of avahi (zeroconf) - but that is way off topic for questions regarding Samba's workgroup and domain security models. > For a lot of it's common uses, UPnP-style > solutions are actually appropriate.
