Inconsistant problem with Alpha5 and group policy

[Manu]

Hi Chuck,

your reply seems empty but as I'm a bit curious I found this :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/112023

I already had such errors with Ubuntu Hardy and Samba on some circumstances.

Anyway, the *very* *very* good news behind this, is that French Cops
announced that they will migrate their 70.000 PCs to Ubuntu 8.04 :)

Then, they won't be able to burn compatible DVDs :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrkit/+bug/233942

And their network will be crappy :]] LOL
Thanks Ubuntu, keep on the good bugs ;) LOL

Best wishes,
Manu.
