...had happened to all of my archived copies and how to fix it. In the middle of a system recovery I might add. But hey, what is my time worth in comparison to the security those certificates provided? SECURITY that was trivially evaded in the end. Exactly what mindless person or committee of bike-shedders decided that software should be distributed so that copies of it expire? What security issue was addressed by this decision? What benefit to the public was achieved? When real people suffer real inconvenience and real loss of productive effort because of mindless adhesion to bromide based cures...

Once again, something with Samba thirty bazillion components broke. Once again, my choices for logging are "nothing" or "15 MB/s spread of ten different files, because 'client authentication failed' totally needs to be lower priority than malloc debug info". Once again, none of these messages is actually able to convey what broke, where, why. Why is it impossible for
