Andrew and the Samba team,
Would any of you be interested in some contract work to assist David
with this portion of our project? We are on a tight schedule and could
use some help.
TIA,
m

I've looked briefly at samba4, but I am concerned that it might take too
long for samba4 to become usable.
On the other hand samba4 might be further along than I percieve; I
haven't been able to get it to build yet on my debian(testing) machine.

That would be an interesting development. I'll CC the list with this.
I saw libregistry mentioned before on irc, but I wasn't sure if it was
client or server side.
I suppose however that if the server side code were there it wouldn't be
too far of a leap to produce client code as well.
If this is the case, then perhaps that would be the best place to
concentrate my efforts (though I know y'all really want more idl for
samba4 ;+).
