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. Samba-tng still exists, and we in the Samba Team still wish it well, but what we can't continue to put up with is Luke still rehashing the

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
