The ability to fail over to using a second WINS server
if the first one is unavailable. The behavior models
that of listing multiple DC's in a password server line.
The work on this is basically done I'm told.
Of course, all the WINS servers need to be synchronized,
but that is another discussion. I can lookup the
thread on samba-technical of you're interested in
more information.

Wonderful. I know Jeremy started this before. It is
a rather large project I think. Jeremy?

Jeremy is getting the ACL implementation in the 2.2.0 release
(betas due out next week hopefully). Don't know about file
stream implementations.
Jeremy, any chance of digging you out of code for a
few comments? :-)
Cheers, jerry
