Sorry it disappeared. It's back now. I started designing a new interface, 
but wasn't sure about what it should look like and where to hook it into 
Samba.

The cifs-unix spec talks about a new protocol level, which only works 
between Unix machines. As I understand it, HP's implementation works 
whatever SMB dialect is used, and I just have to try and call it to see if 
it is there?

I don't think it is a big problem that it is not made by MS. It should be 
simple to install it through a login script.
