Hi first post etc etc I hope this is to the right place! I'm about to set a new server system for the company i work for and was planning to set a bsd box to run the web server/internal file server/print server. At the moment a nt box handles (ish!) all this, and i want to keep this as an outlook server for mail etc. Can anyone forsee any problems with this plan? the office uses nt and mac. I have previously used redhat (this is probably a dangerous admission to make on this group!!) and I know that it can only see fat16 on internal partitions, but it would be ok to use smb to see nt folders (i hope this is ok!). so acouple of questions: will Nt be able to read files stored on the bsd box and vice versa will macs be able to do the same (particularly g3's) will an nt outlook server be able to run in parallel we also want to have an automatic dat backup, can anyone forsee any problems/software we need etc. or is it easier for an nt box to do this ? and then hardware compatibility: I shall probably have the following spec: PII 450 or 350 adaptec 2940 UW SCSI controller 9 Gig Fast wide SCSI Hard drive 100 Mb/s 3com network card S3 Virge Graphics card Connected to an optic line via a 3com router I'm really sorry this post is so long. and thanks alot in advance. alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
