netlogon.idl and lsa.idl files: making a start

[Andrew Tridgell]

Luke,

I'm glad to see the progress you are making, but I really wish you'd
stop on this complete crap:

The money went to the samba team. I did *NOT* pocket it, and even if
you were in the team the money would not be available for this sort of
expense. It has been used for travel expenses, not to buy people
software. I have received *NONE* of it, not even for travel.

At the time of the award when we tried to include you in the award you
sent us abusive emails and said you were boycotting the whole
thing. Yet now you make out that we didn't include you? Bullshit.

> samba team.

I don't have MSDN either, and neither does the team. The companies I
used to work for did have and I have some of the (old) CDs from that,
but that's all. You were "cut off" from those CDs when you got
yourself fired from the company that had the subscription.

I have been unemployed for a month now, paying for all the development
I have been doing out of my own pocket, yet you keep making me out to
be some sort of ogre sitting on a pile of your money. I worked on
Samba for 7 years for no payment and for the last little while I've
been back doing that. I hope I'll soon start getting paid again, but
when I see this sort of absolute crap from you it really irritates
me. 

Remember that Samba is a FREE SOFTWARE PROJECT. You should not join
the project team with the aim of making money, yet that seems to be
what you did. You even went as far as tying the code design you wanted
to your many and varied money making schemes, asking Jeremy and I to
give you special licenses so you could use our code in your
schemes. If people do make money on Samba then I don't object, in fact
I'm delighted, but whining that you are not making enough or that its
my fault just shows you are in the wrong business.

Basically the dramatic statements you have been making for the last
year are complete bullshit. I thought after you posted that long and
ficticious story of how badly treated you were at Linuxcare you might
have got it off your chest, but it looks like you are just going to
keep going on this forever. I can only imagine you are trying to evoke
some sort of sympathy from Samba users. Now if you posted what
*really* happened in your job and why you were fired then you wouldn't
get any sympathy, but of course you don't do that. You make up a story
where saint Luke gets screwed over by anyone he meets. 

You are doing some great technical work as you have done for years,
but please leave off wiith the political bullshit and just write
software if you want to. It will be better all round if we stick to
code and technical discussions, like I have been trying to do with you
for the last year. Go and sell your memoirs to the local rag if you
want to peddle this rubbish - don't use these lists for it.
