TNG / inet_aton

[Iain MacDonnell]

Hi Luke,

Thanks for the updates - I'll test tonight!

The main thing I like about TNG is that, aside from the inevitable development
bugs, it just works... this is the first time that I've been able to do all
the things that I want at the same time - domain logons, domain groups,
printing, etc - previously, I've only seemed to be able to do a subset with
any particular release before.

As for the daemon architecture, it seems to make a lot of sense. Aside from
being able to take individual services in and out of operation without
killing the whole server, not bundling all of those services into one
big daemon feels like a good move. Persumably it ought to run more effeciently
on larger (MP) servers, too ?

    ~Iain
