On the basis of samba 2.0.7, I've implemented the following: (1) haven shares to behave as "hot folders" which perform a predefined action whenever a file has been dropped into (by slightly enhancing the magic script code) (2) a derivative of smbclient, smbrcp, which behaves like the standard UNIX rcp command. I'd like to make these publicly available but don't know how to do it best. Helge -- H.Blischke@srz-berlin.de H.Blischke@srz-berlin.com H.Blischke@acm.org
