Well, from what you say, it appears that my research into samba-tng is already |

a bit outdated. I would still like to seperate the file serving from the |

Thanks for all of your feedback, Paul. It's helped me in consideration for |
| 31 |
various aspects of my setup, and hopefully others as well. |
