'Mr. Samba' Talks About Samba's Future
Jan Stafford writes "SearchEnterpriseLinux is running an article that gives the inside scoop from Samba guru John H. Terpstra on upcoming new features in Samba-3 and Samba-4, recent events in FUD-fighting and the benefits that businesses can realize by adopting open source early."
Arrr. Samba-3 development an' support will continue until at least 2008. O'er that time 't will be gi'en th' ability t' integrate more seamlessly wi' Windows Active Directory an' its clients. Remote captainship features will be further expanded, an' a new remote procedure call infrastructure will replace th' current one, which will be keelhauled. Arrr. Additional facilities bein' added will assist sites that be havin' specific Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. Th' myriad o' new technologies in Samba-4 will be aft-ported t' Samba-3, thus narrowin' th' gap between th' two versions. Samba-4 will ship within th' next voyage an' will live alongside Samba-3 fer a long time. Both versions will strive t' reduce resource requirements an' improve efficiency. Documentation improvements will also continue t' be made, wi' greater focus on support o' deployment an' wi' a lesser focus on th' nuts an' bolts in its internals.
No, Tridge be Captain Samba. Only a lubber'd be plain Mr Samba. Arr.
I am lollering.
Then type smbclient //i//love//forward_slashes. :-).
It's worked with that syntax for.... oh about 10 years, but then again this *is* slashdot so I can't expect you to know what you're talking about...
Jeremy.
I bet he is. I can see it now, after the speech is over, in his dressing room:
"You know, speakers all over the world, including me, appreciate a chilled coca cola after an appearance. Coca Cola, an international brand and hallmark of the consumer products industry, features a beverage that could be seen as a standard to which all other beverages are measured.
Also, all markets, from home users to giant corporations, appreciate taking a nice relaxing dump after a good long day. Dumps have features that all of us can use..."
Everybody was F U D Fighting!
Those hacks were fast as lightning!

"Outlook not so good." That magic 8-ball knows everything! I'll ask about Exchange Server next.
Everybody was Kung-FUD fighting
Those hacks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they crack 'en expert typing.
They were funky Hacking dudes from funky IRC
They were hacking them up and they were hacking them down
It's an ancient Cracker art and everybody knew their part
From a p0f into nmap, and cracking with l0pht.
Everybody was Kung-FUD fighting
Those hacks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they hack with typing a blazin'.
There was funky K'vin Mitnick and little Jon Johansen.
He said here comes the big mafia, lets get it on
We ping their host and made a stand, started DoS'ing with deft of a hand
The sudden BSOD made me lurch, now we're into a brand new stepping stones.
Everybody was kung-FUD fighting
Those hacks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they flip it with incredible l33t typin'.
(repeat)..make sure you have expert typing
Kung-FUD fighting, had to be fast as lightning
Oh, feeling a little pissy are we?
I'm chuckling away.
Jeremy came at you as good as Winston Churchill dished it out.
So the story goes...
Nancy Astor was a native Virginian who became Britain's first woman member of the House of Commons. In the 1930's she headed a clique in the House of Commons that found something to admire in Hitler's Germany. Churchill described an Astorite as an appeaser "who feeds the crocodile hoping that it will eat him last." One time shortly thereafter, Churchill found himself at Cliveden, the Astor mansion.
After dinner Lady Astor presided over the pouring of coffee. When Churchill came by, she glared and said. "Winston, if I were your wife, I'd put poison in your coffee." "Nancy," Churchill replied to the acid-tongued woman, "if I were your husband, I'd drink it."
You simply got out classed. Jeremy did it politely and clearly. Quit yammering and slink home with your tail betwixt your legs. You got 0wned.
Cheers,
Greg
Doh ! oh I see, you meant the "inner" forward slashes, not the first one.
:-).
That's because I typed it wrong
Sorry,
Jeremy.
