We have around 40 Windows 3.11 & 95 PCs using samba on FreeBSD for all their files and printing. Works a treat. The only slowcoach is Access in Office 97 which has dropped to a crawl in comparison with previous versions (of Access, that is). However, I understand from colleagues using Novell & NT backends that this is true for them also. Our main FBSD server handles most of the Windoze stuff, unix shell access to our curses database, appletalk sharing (using netatalk) and email pop collection. Runs forever, needs little attention, is very fast. Highly recommended :) Robin. -------------------------------------------------------- Robin Melville, Addiction & Forensic Information Service Nottingham Alcohol & Drug Team (Extn. 49178) Vox: +44 (0)115 952 9478 Fax: +44 (0)115 952 9421 Email: robmel@nadt.org.uk WWW: http://www.innotts.co.uk/nadt/ ---------------------------------------------------------
