Until these changes are incorporated into the core packages, patched versions of the current release SME packages will be provided as part of this contrib. It is necessary that users install these "patched" core packages to take advantage of Samba Server Roles. EVERY effort is made to provide this additional functionality without changing standard SME functionality. In other words, the patched core SME packages will not change they way SME currently functions -- the modified core packages simply provide the additional Server Role functionality.

This Server Role configures SME Server to function as a member of a MS Windows Peer-To-Peer network. In order to access network shares on the SME machine when it is configured in this Server Role, users/clients must have local user accounts on the SME machine. This is the simplest of MS Network configurations. In this Server Role, SME will act as a typical Windows Client (e.g., Win 95, Win XP, Win 2000, etc.)
