I Just want to tell people here that after complaining about the samba team being 
unresponsive to mails adressed to the the samba-bugs list I'm a bit ashamed:

John from the samba team stated they are working with a dozen of volunteers on 
those mailings and they have already answered 8,000 of about 11,000 messages until 
yet.

Gerald from the samba team stated that one-half of these peoble are primarily 
developers working on the "golden" code.

Jeremy from the samba team stated that the bug mentioned in the subject field is 
already known and yet fixed in the code being released as 2.0.


Sorry boys for being impatient and without respect. I read about 2,500,000 systems 
running samba and using code no single person payed a penny for. You do not 
deserve my above quoted statement.


Hasta la vista,
               Robert
