[ILUG] The "I've given up on that" Samba Q

[Stephen Shirley]

Mornin',
Thanks for the reply. When you mention automagically does
this mean that when a new user tries to access the shares
his gets an account on my machine? I can't have all users
having accounts - there's over 10,000 possible users - at least
1000 who reguraly use my stuff.

=============================================

It was quiet... too quiet.

Then it was loud... too loud.

Quiet again... too quiet.

And once more, loud... way too loud.

"Damn snooze button," I mumbled to
myself as I got out of bed and
checked the time:  late... too late.
