As I explained, I use samba across several machines and there was no 'hacking' 
required.  Our experiences have been different.  Maybe its because I try to 
stick to standards and reject proprietary lockins like AD.

Actually, in my life I often found the more you do for people the more they 
consider your service a right that they take for granted.  But its also 
deeply true that when you help others you help yourself.

Sure, its already better than XP IMHO.  But you know it wasn't custom designed 
for your personal situation.

If you want your comments to REALLY stick around and raise a response from a 
Redhat dev, register at bugzilla.redhat.com and bug your problems.

Personally I am just another user who tried to help you with your issues.  The 
solutions for the best part of your trouble lies with Samba, not Fedora, as I 
pointed out in my previous mail.
