A pair of IBM developers have joined the Samba team. Jeremy Allison explains:

Note this doesn’t mean IBM is giving us money or anything. What
it really means is that tridge and I have given these guys CVS
access to the main source code (which is all being on the Team
really means :-). This means a couple of IBM engineers have the
same access rights as the Team members from SGI, HP, Veritas and
others :-).

Jim and Steve work in the Linux Technology Center at IBM and
have been actively involved in the development and testing of Samba
for a long time. We are delighted to have them in the team!

They’ve already committed some new code to add a “net use”
utility to allow UNIX command line client control to OS/2 and
Windows NT/2000 servers.

Cheers,
Jeremy
