Let's see where SMB2 is in 5, 10, 20 years. I want to apologize for the above comment. It is much more negative sounding than I had intended when I sent it off without double-checking= it. I agree with Steve that SMB2 is much better than SMB, and better than m= any other alternatives. The improved communication with Microsoft that third-party developers have seen over the past three years or so will, = I hope, go a long way toward keeping it clean and avoiding the build-up o= f obsolescent commands and subcommands that SMB experienced. Now, if we could just get a little momentum behind the UNIXSMB2 effort.= =2E. > I'll see what I can do to get Jos=E9 ready to take over for us when w= e're > shipped off to the home. I'll still do this. We have a fresh generation coming up, and I think that's something to encourage.
