I did search the archives (I posted the original message) and didn't come 
up with anything. That's why I asked.

Sorry for asking, I guess I'll just leave the list and shut up now. And if 
I have any more problems, oh well. The Linux community has proven to me 
time and time again they don't have the customer service skills or the time 
and patience to help people that don't know any better. I am no newbie, 
I've been using Linux for several years now, but I am tired of being 
treated like one whenever I forage into an area of the operating system or 
applications (like Samba, which I never had a need to use until now).

Looks like I'll be using the glue that holds the rest of my server 
together: Perl. When all else fails, add another piece of duct tape to the 
pile! :-)
