we can go on and on with this forever....
the truth is that sometimes people look for the easy and the fast way to
solve something, without
getting themselves into hours of reading.
its true that this is the best way to learn, but sometimes a faster solution
is needed.
I still think that if someone addresses you with a problem and a request for
help, you shouldn't lecture them, or even care
if they are doing their sys-admin job as well as you think they should
(btw-in my case I deal with winnt most of the day and the
closest I need to get to Linux is via linuxconf, to add some mail account or
some shit like that)
I really don't understand the attitude in list mailing list. try to post to
world wide lists (redhat or mandrake) and see how people
are helping , and not lecturing.
and yes, "samba in 24 hours" is sitting right on the shelf next to me.

this is exactly the point. you have been on this list with a 'sys admin'
title for quite a few month now. when i worked as a full-time sys admin,
it was my goal to learn. for that, i read books, i played with the system,
i tried to understand how the system works. i didn't care for "howto solve
this samba problem", as much as i cared for "how does the system launch
samba, and how do scripts work".
unless you decide to learn things in a broader manner, you'll keep
stumbling into problems that you'd have no idea how to cope with, and
where to even begin tackling them.
just a question - did you read any book about unix or linux system
administration? if you haven't - you probably know now where to start...
