Hi people, I was wondering: is it possible to deny all new connections to samba, but keep the current connections working ? We have some applications running from a samba share. To update the application everybody needs to close it. Since we have almost 1000 concurrent users, 24/7, it is difficult to keep them out. My solution now is: - Communicating the downtime and provide a time

Dear R users, Version 0.30-6 of the np package has been uploaded to CRAN. See http://cran.r-project.org/package=np Note that the cubature package is now required in addition to the boot package. The recent updates in 0.30-4 through 0.30-6 provides additional functionality in the form of five new functions that incorporate frequently requested nonparametric entropy-based testing methods to the
