I think you should not have a problem. I never managed a server serving 500 users in parallel, though. One important note: At least in some older versions of samba, and I have a feeling this is still true, it was a nightmare configuring this to work as a _print_server_ serving automatically drivers for its printers. If you only intend to make it a normal share and put there all the drivers as downloaded from manufacturer's sites etc. then I see no problem. -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
