    I enjoyed the book.  I'm really looking forward to Samba 4 (which is a complete rewrite of Samba) and hopefully the next book will be based on that.

    It's been awhile since we've featured any books or authors on Port 25 - you may remember Jeremy Moscowitz on Windows/Linux Integration, and then Linux in a Windows World with Rod Smith. That doesn't mean our library shelves have gone empty though ~ so
