Hi Guys,

The release notes say ...

*   Added ftp server software to the NASRaQ. FTP is not supported but it
    there for the convenience of advanced users who wish to run an FTP
    server on their NASRaQ.

*   Added group integration when nt domain integration is selected.

*   Updates samba to version 2.0.7. This provides more compatibilty for
    Windows 2000 users.

*   Allows file permissions to be changed from an NT machine.
 
*   Works around problems with the latest Appleshare client on MacOS and
    Appleshare/IP.

*   Adds an encrypted password when used with MacOS.

*   Appleshare/IP will now start up correctly even if the hostname is
    unresolvable. This case often happens when dhcp is used.

*   Mac database applications should now work correctly when using the nas
    and an appleshare volume.

IMHO SAMBA v2.0.7 and the AppleShare enhancements would be real nice on a
Qube2 (or Gateway Microserver for that matter).

The NASRaQ package probably won't install on a Qube2 as is but what would it
take to alter it to install the applicable bits?

Anyone know if these enhancements are included in the Qube 3?

Cheers,  Malcolm
