And even if it has write access to areas it shouldn't...

I like the idea of test suites (Samba has one) - but I also realize that 
it means someone has to code it... and honestly, I'd rather Timo spent 
his time on 1.1/2.0 things instead. This can wait until after 2.0...

I'm trying to get up to speed enough so that I am confident enough to 
answer more questions... I think that would help more than anything 
(people helping him out here on the list)...
