Kudos to the Samba team and to Microsoft for helping run important plugfest between Samba, CIFS and AD. Andrew’s post summarizes very well but he does put out an urgent call to arms – we need help in driving work to make the AD component in Samba even more robust. So, here is a golden opportunity to show your skills and enthusiasm to build a truly world class and robust open source AD implementation. As Andrew alludes to, this too good an opportunity to miss.
