Does this mean we'll be able to set up Windows 95 using a Samba server as
a "Domain Controller" which authorises (and restricts) logins to Windows?

I sure hope so! :)

Keepalive packets do work becuase the network layer continues to work.  
It is only the application layer that dies so even though the machine is 
sitting there and not doing anything, it still answers keepalive packets. 
(that wonderful Microsoft Engineering)

I'm currently using an older RS/6000, model 320H with 64 M of RAM, as a 
file/print/app server for a 30-node WfWg net--thanks to samba.  Anybody out 
there have any ideas on whether or not this machine would be a faster server 
than some WinNT box?  Or what kind of hardware config I'd need for an NT box 
to be a faster server?  Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Will there be a way to synchronize Unix passwords and Samba passwords? Is
there some way I can take a Unix password file and generate the samba
password file?

I have some colleagues who are running Samba successfully with
Microsoft's TCP/IP stack.  I have Chameleon on my WfWg 3.11 PC (so
that I can use dialup PPP sometimes) and it doesn't work.

Has anyone gotten this combination to work?
