samba - Jun 2005 - does anyone use the enumports command for anything useful ?

I'm just wondering if we should remove this enum ports command
altogether.  Ports are a consemtic concept in Samba for the
most port since the printer is really tied to the queue name.
But before I think about this anymore is there anyone actually
using enumports for something other than

	#!/bi/sh

	echo "LPT1:"
	echo "LPT2:"
	echo "LPT3:"

?



cheers, jerry

No, never use it.
Also, is there any reason why not drop some paramater in smb.conf which 
has a synonym? I found arround 15 synonyms.

Next is to reduce the number of parameter, it still scared me :-)
