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.
