I do not mean to upset anybody, but sometimes I have found that jumping 
up and down, throwing a tantrum gets results, for instance, I could not 
find anything anywhere on how winbind worked on S4, but Alexander 
Bokovoy has just posted, in way that I can understand, how it works.

As for shooting my mouth off about what I don't understand, most of the 
lack of understanding is due to (as with most open source programs) a 
lack of good documentation, If I can find documentation, I will read it 
and try to understand it.

I would like to say, that sometimes, and please don't take this the 
wrong way, programs get bogged down in what they are doing and don't 
consider the end user, they see what they have to do, but don't consider 
that the end user cannot understand it.

If I have upset anybody then I am sorry, it was not my intention.

Rowland
