My two bits:

Samba is wonderful and brings more joy to me each day than Santa Claus
because it allows me to have Micro$oft clients and administer them 
from God's operating system, Unix.

Does the geek in me appreciate that Abuser Manager For Domains
shows unix users from Windows 95?  Yer damn straight!  But what
makes me really giddy is when you tell me I can maniuplate an
NT registry from the Unix command line.  THAT'S what Samba is 
to me!  I want control of Windoze from Unix, not control
of Unix from Windoze.  *shudder*

SWAT is neat because sometimes a graphical interface is
nice.  But the biggest reason I switched to Apache from Netscape's
server was ease of administration through config files.  I'm
not familiar with vi AND emacs to use a web browser for everything :)

No, it's when I run Crack and find passwords of "jennifer" or "bozo"
that I find the lowest common denominator--users.  

Keep fighting the good fight!
