HCC is not keeping a list, but I am personally. 

It might be better for those interested to contact me directly so
I can organize ad-hoc classes. The actual scheduled classes have
not historically run often, but I am hoping that will change in
the future.

We need four signups to run the class. I have three on my waiting
list, so with tburns, that makes four.

For the Samba class, each participant will have 2 systems, one
running Linux, and the other running Windows. We will start
with basic workgroup file sharing and jump into authentication.
Time permitting, I would like to also cover domains and roaming
profiles. I will even log into your systems, break your samba
configuration and make you fix it. I intend the class to be very
hands on.

I will be talking to HCC to see if I can run the class off
schedule, in a week or two. If anyone else is interested, let me
know privately.

I really like the PCATT facilities. They run a lot of
certifcation courses and need to keep the systems relatively
current so they they can run "that other operating system" well.
The lab environment is nearly ideal.

The instructor, however, is a bit odd. =)
