i need to know whether people think it would be a good idea to retire rpcclient in favour of the following command suite: net usrmgr srvmgr regedit eventvwr cmdat basically, a suite of programs that match nt's .EXE equivalents. luke (samba team)
some people are already using rpcclient, and want to keep using it, and do not want the commands to change. some people want unix and nt worlds to be kept separate, by not allowing the two worlds to meet :-) some people thought i was going to write xregedit, xusrmgr etc, which i am not - right now (i don't even run X). the simplest solution is to make rpcclient's behaviour change if argv[0] changes (the name of the command).
