Folks, I like criticism! Please give me lots of it - particularly in respect of the updated "Samba-Guide". It should now be up on the Samba mirror sites. You can download it from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf I have incorporated all feedback into this book. Did I get it right this time or should I give up? So far, not a word of feedback is deafening! Is it worth my effort to continue updating this book or is this a waste of time? - John T. -- John H Terpstra Samba-Team Member Phone: +1 (650) 580-8668 Author: The Official Samba-3 HOWTO & Reference Guide, ISBN: 0131453556 Samba-3 by Example, ISBN: 0131472216 Hardening Linux, ISBN: 0072254971 Other books in production.

As regards to the samba-guide, the flow seems fine and thing are in a logical order. I quick perusal of the samba update process seems good, although I need to read it again. One chapter I was disappointed in was the Netware migration chapter. I guess I was expecting some way to extract out the Netware info, even if it was from a third party. This chapter basically just seemed to reiterate building a server from scratch and asking the user what their password was? Maybe I missed something. In any case I for one appreciate all your effort. I bought a copy of The Official Samba-3 HOWTO & Reference, when it first came out. I am still working through both guides and hope to be able to give you more feedback. I'm not sure right now if the problems I'm having are related to lack of info, distribution choice(FreeBSD) or just density on my part. Again thank you for your effort and contributions, especially how many questions you answer on the mailing list. A big kudos's to the whole Samba team for their mailing list participation.

Your work is greatly appreciated. I know I keep the published volumes nearby as references, having purchased them to support the efforts, and I download the updated pdf's once a month or so to keep up with improvements in Samba and both manuals. My thanks for your hard work, I for one, thank you for your work.

John H Terpstra wrote:> Is it worth my effort to continue updating this book or is this a waste of > time? > > - John T.Your work is great! I regard the two books as THE reference for Samba. They were and are essential for me in successfully setting up and maintaining for two customers Samba PDCs with roaming profiles, logon scripts etc, and various Samba file and printer servers.

Please keep it up Regards Alan Dodd

Are there other avenues that people have used to contribute materially to Samba's success?

im not 100% certain, i presumed that it might work, never used version 2.X.X, only started using samba with version 3.0.x, it was just a suggestion to try! :) Regards John H Terpstra wrote:> On Friday 15 April 2005 08:52, Daniel Wilson wrote: > >>bash# net getlocalsid >> >> ...also works. > > > Are you certain that this works on Samba 2.2.8a?
