Anyone have any information on how to fix this. --

When I do an smbclient on the Linux box I can see the Windows machine listed. However, when I do a net view on the Windows XP Home machine I do not see the Samba box. Also, I get a System 1 error on

Luke Leighton (lkcl) has brought up his arguments about control of Samba before. In October 2000 they resulted in the creation of a new Samba code branch, samba-tng, which Luke and others who agreed with his direction were free to do with as they will.

dear samba users and developers, i'd like to put to you a proposal for your respectful consideration: it is an idea that i believe has strategic merit for the open source community and OS users as a whole. these words are chosen carefully and the reasons will become apparent later: that i begin as an example. as you are no doubt aware, there have been some seriously damaging (but not
