Thanks, but I already have CIFS v1.1 docs, but that barely helps

This version seems to sit on LDAP, which I installed as a pre-requisite, 
but again no docs on that. Digging deeper that seems to want to use SLAP 
again no docs and limited help. That failed with a ageing quota error, 
so I managed to set a smaller max DB size. Still getting nothing except 
errors.

I don't really need it, so I give up. Will probably uninstall

VSI are doing themselves no favours putting out changed open source 
utilities without any documentation. At least HP used to have their own 
docs.
