[S.u.S.E. Linux] Samba anyone?
--------------16AAB5D8B82EAD9DE2C94492 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am currently reading up on Samba. If you don't know, Samba is a way to make your WinDos-NT system think your Linux/UNIX box is one of them. I have not seen any evidence yet of Samba being able to fully implement the NT SAM. I have seen a glimmer of hope that the Samba Team may try to implement an alternative, and perhaps NT compatible, solution using LDAP. Since I am slowly becoming something of an expert in LDAP, this would really make me happy. I also think it would make for a much more powerful and versatile service than WINS/Browsing/SAM. I have a friend who works in a biological research lab with a limited budget who needs to support Lanman browsing across subnets. Samba could be used with Linux to effect this at a very low cost. I guess if I wish to say much more about Samba, I should say that on the Samba mailing list. I'll just leave y'all with a plug for John D. Blair's new book *Samba, Integrating Unix and Windows*. It is well written and informative. -- "Alles Vergaengliche Ist nur ein Gleichniss" -Goethe, as quoted in Ludwig Boltzmann's Vorlessungen ueber Gastheorie. --------------16AAB5D8B82EAD9DE2C94492 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML> I am currently reading up on Samba.
