They are very good. ;-)

Check out Lars\' FAQ
(http://www.kneschke.de/projekte/samba_tng/). The files
you need to create are shown there. I\'m pretty sure that
everything else gets created automagically. ;-)

Apparently this bit don\'t work no more (if you\'re
talking about using bits from TNG and bits from the
stable version). TNG works fine by itself for me.

Hope it helps,
