[Samba] Licensing Issues
What licensing obligations/issues/problems will I have for a BSD application that I have written that links to a shared library built from Samba sources? Thanks.

The two problems we see are (I'm oversimplifying here...) first that a licensing service doesn't clear its cache of licenses in use quickly enough after a user logs out (it keeps the license in use for a few extra days...), and second, that it will sometimes allocate several licenses per logon. We see the latter often with Exchange 2000, where a user logging in via Outlook Web Access gets allocated three Exchange CALs. You very quickly run out of CALs that way! Heck, we even had a SQL 2000 Server *in per-processor mode* complain once about being out of licenses! I wish I had saved that screen shot! When I take on a new client, I ask to see invoices for all of their MS licenses, and I usually try to install a third party auditing tool (like Executive Software's SiteKeeper). After that, I then disable the MS licensing service. This is a long way of saying that I haven't found the MS Licensing service in general to be particularly accurate. YMMV.

I have never seen licence warnings like that - you will need to provide us with more information on what licencing modal you have selected, and how you have configured Microsoft's licence management software. (Which is optional, I understand, but MS makes it easier to track things that way).

[Samba] Licensing issues with MS Domain
I read many posts from the archives but could not find the answer to my question. So here goes: I need to run a Samba installation on a RH9 Linux server. I have done such installation before and was succesful at it. Our main network is W2K based and users all have accounts in the domain. With great difficulties, I convinced the MS Net Admin to create an entry for my Samba server in the Domain so that I could use Domain Authentication. As soon as users started to map their Linux drives (authenticating to the domain), the domain controller started to complain about licensing issues. The net Admin was quick on the switch and swiftly removed my server from the domain, arguing that it violates the licensing agreement. Questions are: Is there really an issue with licensing and Samba? Can we still be in the Domain and use the domain for authentication without promtping warnings about licences?
