samba - Oct 2003 - Samba 3.0 is WORKING

I would just like to give a success report, since this list gets mostly
bugs and questions..

Due mainly to the help that this list provided, I am now able to
successfully deploy Linux/Samba servers in our corporate domain, and allow
remote offices to function as part of our vast windows domain.  Things are
working, and the $$$ it has saved us is almost unmeasurable.

Again, thanks for your help, and keep up the good work!! It took me a
while to admit it, but heck, samba is pretty cool.. ;)

Ok, thanks a lot for this :-). I hate to admit it but sometimes
the endless bug reports kind of get you down :-) :-) :-).

That was much appreciated :-).

Cheers,

Can you elaborate on the $$$ savings? I would like to know.. for example,
how much $$$ would be saved by using samba/linux as a server for an
enterprise class business.

talk in terms of $$ savings, downtime savings, config problems ..stufss like
that. I'm running a small samba/linux web/file server for my dept and the
only thing I can come out with is $$$ in terms of windows 2000 server
licensing fees .. eg: USD10K for 15 users??

spell that word)
