I didn't really mean "is there a benefit to supporting this," I meant more that if my clients are currently blocking the traffic coming back from the server, is there a tangible benefit I could expect from getting that fixed (perhaps the "your document has printed" message, or more speed, etc.), or is it a minor thing? - -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFI840cmb+gadEcsb4RAkZNAJ9/zhfK9YErQub6SKB3B2ScZjPDnwCeLOWI vri44UM1BMR8o+q/yAoYIfU= =SD5O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
