Hi Guys,

Just got the OK from the company concerned to publicly announce:

Walkers Snack Foods (largest snack food manufacturer in the UK and
subsiduary of Pepsico - *everyone* eats their stuff over here!) are
using Samba 3 to integrate their increasing use of Open Source with
their existing Active Directory domain.

We've just finished helping them replace MS ISA with Squid,
authenticating against AD using Samba 3 components.

A massive thank-you and huge praise to the Samba team from the Walkers
tech team (this project led by Alasdair Morison) for all your hard work
and for the wonderful technology suite Samba is.

I'm told that Walkers were the *first* site in the UK to deploy MS ISA
and were once a reference site for the product. It is now been reduced
to a coffee coaster thanks to you and the Squid team's hard work

Another heartfelt thanks from the UK!

Cheers,

Mark
