Samba would be a lot more stable than NT 3.51 :) We have two servers that run Samba where I work. One is a Mac OS X Server boxen (running a bastardized version of 4.4BSD) running Samba 2.0.7 without too many hitches. In our case, security isn't that huge of a problem, but we have the people authenticate through a ``guest'' account (well... not quite... but that's something completely different) We are the client machines are Mac (which use the AppleTalk File Protocol with TCP/IP) and Windows NT 4.0 SP4+ and Windows 2000 machines. So we don't have too much of an issue with encrypted/unencrypted passwords. One definitely resource I would recommend is O`Reilly's Samba book. // Linh Pham // // Proud supporter of FreeBSD and OpenBSD // FreeBSD - http://www.freebsd.org // OpenBSD - http://www.openbsd.org /* "Oregon, n.: Eighty billion gallons of water with no place to go on Saturday night." */ On Mon, 24 Jul 2000, SILVER, MICHAEL A wrote: > Is anyone using Samba in a corporate environment instead of NT, with 95/98 > or NT workstations?
