Miracle of Miracles!
Have you forwarded these messages of success to Lars, Jeff and Gregory?
They would be very interested!

The client will basically replace ftp, WRQ Transfer, NFS, and all other
string and cardboard methods of getting and putting files onto other
SAMBA servers, all NT servers, all WFW or Win 95 PC's.

It is lightning fast, and with a command like:-

        echo ls | smbclient \\\\baltic\\archive <password> -U <username>

you get this

and you can get and put files etc. at will.

The REAL value of SAMBA is the server side (smbd and nmbd), where the
HP3000 will look just like Baltic does in the above client example, and
will allow the HP3000 to play a really useful part in an NT environment.

From my PC

        C:\WINDOWS>net view \\pacific
        Shared resources at \\PACIFIC

        Sharename    Type         Comment
        ----------------------------------------------------------
        logfiles     Disk         Telephone tracking log files
        netbackup    Disk         Netbackup share for user neil
        software     Disk         Software Server Share
        The command was completed successfully.

Pacific is an HP9000 running SAMBA with the three shares logfiles,
netbackup and software.
It could be an HP3000 :) :)

Keep up the excellent work
BTW would you consider mailing me the binaries that you have compiled so
far?

Cheers
