We evaluated samba as a domain controller / wins server and apart from some minor performance gripes - (which as it was a "proof of concept" type thingy, we didn't look at too much so they can probably be solved) but as a standard file / print box - absolutely - things to watch out for - printing, if you have non standard type printers, can be a bit icky, and call me a technological serf, but I missed the plug and play nature of printing under NT - didn't miss mysterious hangs and blue screens though. -- Mark Rowlands +4686224510 GMT + 1 _______________________________________________ These opinions are mine, they are just opinions you are free to disagree, please do so quietly _______________________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
