Hi, I m using the 2.0.23 and i m wondering if i should throw away all my WNTSERVER! :-} (because samba is now on some point better than MS$ themselves...) But: -"max disk size" is "global" and should be (to my mind) "share". In fact we could allocate 100Mb for one user, 50 Mb for another and they will see only this size. ie: ou users have a quota of 50 Mb but they see a 4Gb disk : they says : "hey i want more!". Moreover when they do a "property" under their win95 they see all the disk wich is not obvious if they have a quota limitation... In the case of the mac client using DAVE , it is a big pb if the disk they see is more than 2Gb!! -why the smbd daemon does not run as <user> and run as root (perhaps it is unsecure to ask for that?) but it will be more easy for admin to see who is connected (ps) ? -I don t really understand why with DAVE we can not use NTFS for "fstype". Does samba implement "Streams"? I suspect that, as streams are not implemented , DAVE can't use <filename:AFP_xxx> which are the NTFS streams used for resource fork and so.

It is quite easy to admin, though, because we have smbstatus command :-) As for the rest of questions, maybe some more experienced guru will anwer ? ;-) Michal
