I count on your intergrity and honesty to be able to handle this business. My father was a minister in Democratic Republic of Congo during the reign of Late President Mobutu. Our father was killed during the rebel attack and our house was burnt. We manage to escape to Ghana with my mother and two of my sisters where we are now taking refuge.Before the death of my father he deposited US50 MILLION, with a security company in Europe.The money is kept in a trunk boxes and was registered as precious substance. Thus there is nobody that knows that it is money that is in the box. All the document with which the money was deposited is with us. I am lookinf for somebody to that is capable and willing to travel to any part of Europe to receive the two trunk boxes of money on behalf of my family from the security company. We need a trust worthy and experience person that will help us to invest this money in your country and take us as one family and will also buy a house for us over there where we can live safely. We are expecting to hear from you.Please contact me on this Email Address: kenmadambe@netscape.net Thanks for your anticipated cooperation.please include your telephone number and fax number in your reply Best Regards, KENETH MADAMBE From ddowner at att.net Mon Jul 7 06:25:27 2003 From: ddowner at att.net (Ddowner) Date: Fri Feb 13 23:41:32 2004 Subject: Samba-docs, Any software just for 15$ - 40$ In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <48DFD13B62A33AEK@att.net> CheapWarez.com If you don't have enough money to buy needed software or think desired software isn't worth the price, then this service is right for you.

I also now found a press release about a Linuxcare course from fall of 1999: "Extreme Samba--written by Linuxcare guru Andrew Tridgell, the creator of Samba, a two-day course covering installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of Samba networks serving Windows 98 and NT clients." I'll send an email to them to find out if they have samba courseware available. I have written various courseware for FreeBSD, NetBSD and Apache administration (and various lecture presentations and handouts including Samba). It would be good to have some survey (like a Job Task Analysis) to base a courseware on. So it will have some validity. The results could also be useful for judging where documentation should be focused or improved. I may work on this. Jeremy C. Reed ...................................................

Basically yes. The survey could help build descriptions of the skills and knowledge related to successful performance in Samba administration. Plus some of the skills needed for installation too. I don't want to go into general Unix skills for this unless the survey indicates its importance. Instead of just basing the courseware on the tasks that I have used or based on documentation, I'd like to see a survey that gets the feedback from many Samba administrators. Maybe this doesn't matter; probably just a small group of samba admins could share their comments and/or review the courseware-in-progress. But from a marketing standpoint, it would be nice to be able to say, for example, "This courseware is based on a Job Task Analysis where over 250 experienced Samba administrators defined the descriptions of the knowledge and skills essential to successful Samba administration." In addition, a survey announced to the samba and samba developers lists may offer some side benefits too, like finding out about samba features/capabilities that are rarely used (or unknown). And it can help restructure current documentation to make sure it highlights important needs. It can also tell us a little more about samba users and where samba is implemented. Jeremy C.
