Brian,

Just an FYI, it seems Bill now wants to push everything off his plate
except converting NETBIOS, CIFS and NFS to Linux sockets, and so he
came to me and wants me to add three more tasks.  I didn't get time
estimates from him, so I made some up.  The three tasks are:

NDMP porting to Linux networking
DMIP    "     "   "      "
RMC rewrite to local loopback semantics

In my opinion, he signed up for the first two when he insisted on
taking the approach he insisted on, which was to convert everything
from TPL to Linux sockets.  Which probably was the right decision, only
now he's trying to get away with doing only the "trivial" part when it
comes to the original time estimate, I guess.  I tried to tell him that
'...it is on him, there's nobody else...', but I'm not sure he's
getting that message. The word "trivial" is his word, ie., NETBIOS,
NFS, CIFS is 'trivial...it's already done' blah-de-blah.

The RMC thing, if I'm understanding, is a consequence of merging in the
SSC code.  Probably a good thing to get it broken out in the task list.

Anyway, I've updated the spreadsheet, I'll send that out to a wider
audience under a separate cover.  I put the three new tasks in his
"bucket".

Tra-la, tra-la,
