We have been able to get SMBD to work under the TCPIP Aux Server environment - multiple server processes - automatically - and access from multiple clients simultaneously. So now the next challenge is to reduce the number of shared images so we can then have SMBD and NMBD run with minimal impact on a server - reduce or minimize sysgen parameter changes.

Then the testing and debugging will continue more evenly as we move forward.

Need to find, isolate and fix a bug a day for a while. Not too much issue finding. The isolation is a bit more of a challenge as well as getting a fix in a day.

Also need to start developing the new VMS specific ACL code.

Also utilities need to checked out and tested.

No attempt will be made to get the Python extension working - at least not on first blush.

And I need to start working on a paper about this port for the OpenVMS Boot Camp being held in late September in Nashua, New Hampshire.

See you there!
