Hi all, Just wanted to let you guys know that I put together a "High Level" Samba How-to that I believe is very informative for "Samba Beginners". I wrote it using Novell's Suse Linux Enterprise Server as part of a book I promised a few clients that I contract for - although I did write it in such a way that it can be used for virtually any GNU/Linux Distribution. I wrote this "on my own time" and I am the sole copyright holder - if the Samba Developers want me to either post it as-is on the Samba Wiki or edit out the SLES parts and post it on the Samba Wiki I would be happy to (when I get the time of course :-) You can access the how-to at: http://www.pcc-services.com/sles/samba.html Anyway, feedback is always welcome.

Thanks a lot ! This is a very nice complement to the Samba docs and makes a great HOWTO. Jeremy.
Now, why would that matter, and how exactly would it be relevant to the fact that Mike (the OP) is putting the document out there for all to share? The attitude that contributing to Free software has to be an unpaid venture is sophomoric, unrealistic, and drives me absolutely crazy. The fact is that we all have to make a living. Some of us choose to do what we believe is the right thing, and contribute back to the community in the forms of code, or documentation, or whatever. The idea that someone who writes code or documentation and contributes it (or even just shares it, retaining copyright as this person appears to have done) is ridiculous. Don't bite the hand that feeds you; anyone who uses free software has been the beneficiary of some freely available code or documentation that the developer or author was renumerated for on many occasions.

I > wrote it using Novell's Suse Linux Enterprise ServerHi Mike, thank you so much for creating this. We tried to do our PDC with SLES and OpenSuse 10.2, and ended up using CentOS instead as we couldn't get it working properly on SUSE. -Joel
