Hi,

following on from my comments yesterday about file and print services etc,
I was wondering if anyone has any comments on the following:

It seems to me that the file and print shares occupy separate name spaces.

I suggest changing find_service to add the type of service as a parameter.
Find service will only try to find a service of that type, and return -1 if
none found.

find_service would check [homes] only if the service type sought was a file
service, and would check [printers] only if the service type is [printers]


Regards
