I registered at EnterpriseSamba in the belief (prehaps mistaken) that this was the Samba project core team's public 'brand'. I have the sernet-samba rpm installed already. I also have the sernet-Samba-ad service running and promoted to a DC on my existing AD Domain already. >From what I can discover sernet-samba-4.1.4 seems to mostly work. I just lack the experience to give me confidence in committing to Samba in place of our existing W2K AD DC. Eroding what confidence I do have is that I have encountered a number of issues where the samba-tool utility simply breaks and gives what appears to be an abbreviated a stack trace along with some pretty startling error messages, containing words like "PANIC" and "unhandled exception". For that reason I have subscribed to the Samba mailing list. I get the message traffic from that list. And I have received my own messages to the list back as well as see them in the list archives as well, thus confirming that my messages were delivered. What I am unable to do is to get any response to any of the questions I have posted respecting the errors I have encountered. I get nothing. It is as if I had never written. So, I am seeking an alternative support venue, if such exists, where I might get some answers. If there is none then I will simply re-post my original messages to the samba list until I get some sort of response, even if it is only an expression of irritation. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
