Is there a place to easily find a digest of that list?

Is there a similar Usenet forum that might be easier to search without
having a local, existing history?

Also, in addition to my questions, I'm looking for info. that hasn't
jumped up and bit me yet.

I'm looking to write a Samba-VMS How-To web page. Perhaps not *THE*
definitive work, seeing as I'm such a greenie at it, but at least
something since such does not seem to presently exist. A text form would
be included in the distro. I've been working on. It's someone else's
binary kit repackaged for ease of installation (Google for my earlier
posts here and in vmsnet.networks.tcp-ip.multinet).

Ultimately, I'd like to arrive at a primarily binary (with the source
tree included, but not installed by default) distro. that arrives at a
basically functional set up by asking the right questions during a setup
procedure used after the kit is installed. The current state of it
installs entirely from the CD, including link-at-install-time of the
executables. Now, I'm trying to generate the documentation to make the
kit as usable as possible out of the "box", with the ultimate goal of
having the software be easily configurable after install time (yes, I'm
thinking PCSI here).

Dunno if I could manage a commercial, supported release with my present
resources, but I'm not ruling that out as a future possibility, either.

It'll be interesting to see what Samba V3.x brings...
