Some other developers have expressed interest in it as well. There's a screen shot here: http://www.samba.org/~jerry/screenshots/samba-elektra.png The next step is easy. More code reviewI'm hoping mingwang and I can work on this some next week. Longer term, we (Samba) have to come to an agreement about how this could be integrated. Things like do we have an Autoconf check for -lelektra and what do we do if it is not there. How (and to what degree) do we support legacy systems that want to continue to the the smb.conf text file. This is a pretty big shift for us. And although everyone agrees that we must have programmatic access to out configuration data from within Samba, we have to chart the course to get from where we are today to where we want to be 6 months down the road. cheers, jerry ===================================================================== Samba ------- http://www.samba.org Centeris ----------- http://www.centeris.com "What man is a man who does not make the world better?" --Balian
