The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, May 13. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:
Samba 3
Samba is a suite of programs that seamlessly provide SMB/CIFS file-and-print services to Windows clients. A robust and reliable implementation, it is now at version 2.2.8. What's in store for the future? In development now, and available for download for testing is version 3.0alpha.
This version has many enhancements to the 2.x versions, including Active Directory support (this release is able to join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate users using LDAP/Kerberos), Unicode support, better Windows 2000 printing support including publishing printer attributes in Active Directory, support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain, support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0 domain controllers, and lots of other changes!
Kevin McGregor will show you how to get started in testing this leading-edge technology.
The group holds its general meetings at 7:30 PM on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend.
********************************************************************** Please note our new meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15 PM, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30 PM. Don't be late, or you may not get in.
Limited parking is available for free on the street, or in a lot across Ellice from IBM, for $1.00 for the evening. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $2.00 for the evening. **********************************************************************

Also note that MUUG maintains two mailing lists, called "muug-announce" and "roundtable". If you're not already on these lists, we encourage you to subscribe now:
http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/
The "muug-announce" list is used for monthly meeting announcements (such as this one) as well as other important announcements of interest to MUUG members.
The "rountable" list is meant to be a forum for follow-ups to topics discussed at the meetings, or for round-table-style discussion on other topics that come up between meetings. Of course, for this to be effective, we need to reach a certain critical mass. So, please subscribe, and stay involved!
