Steve,
I thought I responded to this. Maybe that was on the samba list.
Imprints as a project is currently unmaintained and not working.
The only way to successfully upload drivers is via the NT/2k
native tools.
We do need to cooble together a tools for executing the required RPCs
and one that developers won;t muck with :-)
cheers, jerry
