We are using 3 NT-Servers now. They have= | an easy |solution to integrate Macs into one network with PCs and share |disk-space and printers. | |Now we have strong reasons to replace at least two of the 3 NTs by |FreeBSD-Boxes with Samba and to connect the Windows-Clients to them. | |Is there any reliable solution to share disk-space and printers on the |FreeBSD-machines with Macintoshes? If you are interested in a commercial solution there are nfs and lpr clients for the mac that work seamlessly with FreeBSD sold by Intercon called NFS/Share and InterPrint. I bought both for $170 at the educational discount. With NFS/Share each NFS partition shows up as an icon. With Interprint you can use 'chooser' to configure the lpr server as your system printer and all applications then spool to it by default. Demo version are available via ftp. They give free two-week license keys by request by filling out their web form. Their web site should have details: www.intercon.com. Rich
