[OpenIndiana-discuss] Samba "Proxy"

[Jonathan Adams]

Thats why we're waiting for 4 days :(

I was hoping to proxy through only the bits that they want access to
(probably only a small number of Mb for the next few days) ... since
they're a new acquisition we don't know yet what bits of the data they need
on a day to day basis.
