development process is very nice, but
the top priority has to be on what works in practice.
Just my opinion... from someone who's been around consulting
and has seen some really extreme, and also mission-critical
(i.e., insane *and* life supporting!) computing environments.

it will make life
much easier for Samba administrators, help magazine testing
labs _fairly_ compare Samba performance with that of Windows
(they can make sure to turn oplocks on before running the test),
and also make Microsoft look bad, as they should, IMO, since
they created this stuff. Maybe i
quest? Or is it worse?
(I will also add a note saying that Samba is
no different than Windows in its default behavior.)

t it's worth changing the names of the
parameters, but maybe in smb.conf(5), the description
could more clearly state that the parameters accept
_commands_ (with args) as values, and that the commands
can run binary programs or interpreted scripts.
Make sense?

Er, is that all you're using your test systems for?

responses is that they
don't attract responses. But, well-written questions from people who
have a strong desire to be helped, and are willing to take the bother
to tune in with someone who cares to provide help, often get responses.
Asking questions on mailing lists is both a technique and an art
form. There are no guarantees of any kind of reply, ever.

Pretty please! I'm really curious to find out exactly
what was happening.

Of course, it's still important to keep testing and debugging, to ensure
that when something bad is bound to happen, it chooses someone else's
software as a conduit of least resistance. ;)

I'm a little surprised at how quickly Samba Team members jumped
on what I wrote, even though I was not actually maintaining that
Samba corrupted data!
You can take this as a philosophical meandering if you please. ;)

the MS Windows client
I just set up the Windows system as usual, with IP address, workgroup,
computer name, WINS and DNS servers, etc. But, being Windows 98,
the installation that was on the system might well have been corrupted
somehow! That would not be unusual, after all.

Just to keep myself out of more trouble today, I'd like
to point out that I didn't write the above. ;-)

That way, it will work like Red Hat and other distributions,
so you can start/stop/restart/(etc.) Samba with one command.

Yep, then restart the Samba daemons. It's really simple.

orrect.
Since what you wrote above possibly suggests you didn't see
that, I suspect you might be running a binary distribution,
and maybe it's old ... so, what version of Samba are you
running? Try compiling a new version (2.2.6, for example).
Older versions had bugs, and I've seen the same behavior that
you describe with earlier releases of 2.2.x.

you should
see a message on the screen saying that it is executing the
logon script. You may see a Command Prompt window appear, and
maybe turn into an button on the taskbar. These will disappear
when the script finishes.

HTML anyway. Later I might print out all the Samba docs
and submit diffs for the typos and other obvious inaccuracies
I've found.
The *hard* part is going to be translating Using Samba, from
Framemaker's buggy HTML output, to SGML. I don't even want to
guess if this is even practicable.
