Samba

15 Nov 1999

...
  SAMBA is that
NETBEUI-compatible protocol used by Windows for Workgroups,
isn't it?  I've heard a lot of mention of it but no details except that its
DOS client is HUGE by comparison with the already large but purportedly MUCH
smaller NOVELL IPX+NETX. (about 96K). 
  Actually, the dos client works with
the MS Dos and Windows IP stacks
and it's netbios over TCP/IP.   It's the IP stack that's the real issue.
IPX and NETX are real small.  Try loading LSL, IPXODI, and the VLMs and
it is more like the microsoft stuff in size 8-(.

...

 BTW, I've found the real trick of working with Samba (on the Admin side) is
 remembering where the &)# @*^%  smb.conf file on a particular machine is!

Ain't it the truth... Redid the servers this weekend with 2.6 of Samba.
Now I've got to try to do the domain thing and login scripts for it.
