Marta,
I apologise if in any way my email was offensive to you. That was not my
intent. My intent was to point you to a source of rapid help in case your
need is urgent enough that at all costs you need a solution.
I can see that I have upset you. It seems that what was offered in the best of
interests has upset you.
If I understand correctly, you first asked for help on the samba-technical
mailing list. That list is purely for the samba developers to discuss design
aspects of Samba development. The samba@samba.org mailing list is the general
public list.
As with all user supported software mailing lists, there is no guarantee that
anyone will answer your request. No-one gets paid for assistance given on the
mailing list - all help given is free and voluntary. No-one is responsible to
answer your requests.
There are a number of companies that provide paid-for support. I pointed you
at that source in case you have an urgent need. I cared enough to not cause
your request to go unanswered - particularly since you started to push for an
answer.
Your request to the samba@samba.org list is to the correct list.
