[Use a script with Samba]

[Nelson Garcia]

Thanks, I use dyndns.org (http://nelsongarcia.dyndns.org).  The expect
script is because I'm paranoid that my server will go down or the IP posting
script will not work, etc., etc.  In other words, is just a backup.
Sorry for getting OT,  I was just trying to illustrate how expect is a handy
tool that could be used to automate some tasks with samba.

This list is great, keep doing the Samba.

Nelson

P.S. (OT):  for a list of dynamic dns providers, try this link
http://www.technopagan.org/dynamic/  (not sure how accurate it is anymore)
