Well, I think it's enough, I have received enough comments from several
developers (thank you :-)
I think the best approach here is to have the postinst script _ask_
the user how he/she wants to run Samba: as daemons, or from inetd.
The other scripts (prerm, postrm, etc.) should handle their functions
accordingly.
If there are no strong objections I'll start working right away
Oh, one last thing: Samba depends on libpam0, libpam-util and libpwdb0 which
haven't been ported to libc6 (my understanding is that the maintainer is quite
busy). The only thing that forbids a libc6 Samba package is that
these packages aren't ready. Is there a problem if PAM support in the
Samba package is dropped while these packages are upgraded? Please don't
flame me, it's just a question...
See ya.
