It's already working with RH 6.2, what advantage is there to going to 7
now.  (not in general, just to work on this)

   hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.

# Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces
# If you have multiple network interfaces then you must list them

#   interfaces = 192.168.0.1/24

is already working.  I thought the hosts allow would accomplish the same
thing but would be happy to uncomment the interfaces.

I have not been dropped yet.  It is just slower than molasses in liquid
nitrogen.  It has gotten one more file in the last hour.  If you could send
me the tarfile, that would be great.

--prefix={where?} the location of the ldap header files?  or do you want me
to take '{somewhere}' literally?

make install to /usr/local/...  other than packages binary locale I assume.

This interface is not on my local subnet?  or would I use 192.168.0.(not yet
used) on my current local subnet.

Not familiar with but can read.  Just read the docs of the Head source I
assume.

That will be nice.
