I don't care for being patronized.  I had a question, and I get this

condescending reply.  Thanks, but no thanks.

    



I wasn't patronizing you. It was not condescending. It was a polite

reminder to ask good questions. You think it is a simple question you

asked, it is not.



I could have given you the standard tirade that people asking your kind

of bad questions get on the mailing lists I am on that are technical in

nature, but not Windows in nature.



You see, many people that have been long using Unix, Linux or *BSD,

understand how to ask good questions, yet it seems from my perspective

and many others that people coming or 95% of the time being in a

"Windows"[tm] world, ask questions that are not quite as complete.



Therefore when dealing with a heavy technical group such as the samba

mailing list, where traceback stacks are commonly referred to or the

error logs say "Read the Bugs Appendix" others typically known what the

heck they are talking about.



Please, think about including details of the system(s) you are dealing

with. Then and only then can someone with the knowledge you are *ASKING

FOR* can make a proper response to your problem. Being snide and asking

stupid questions are not garnering you any goodwill.



Thank you my dear for really hitting this idea home for me, without your

ability to dig deeper, the message would not have come across as well.



Now, that we are past the pleasantries, What kind of a system are you

running, is it Linux, *BSD or Commercial Unix? If so, What version and

possibly which Distro are you using? Have you searched for a prebuilt

Binary that may fit your needs?

I asked for OS info yesterday too.  Had a similar problem with Hemdial on FreeBSD.  Got a mile long configure line in a text file that works like a charm on clean install....That means no attempt to install MIT krb5 ;-).  Willing to send it if it's a FreeB box.




Please cut the pleasantries and just answer the questions. This is NOT

SAP you are dealing with here, Deary.
