hey Mark and Maurik,

I agree with you... to implement better logging would be great! (no
programming skills here neither)... i would also need to adapt my firewall
properly and to know the IP would be a good thing... 

I got 4.1.17 running now and logins work perfectly well till now. Had no
time to check the logs till yet. Shares, home shares, profiles are still
to be implemented... kinda great work load at the moment... 

kind regards,
birgit
