>> Summary on Dec Pathworks Server application for Solaris 2.4 <<
Hi Sun Managers.
I got a lot of answers. I got myself a copy of samba and compiled it
for my system. It suits all my needs (sharing a file service for the
PC's). I did't test printers and stuff (in fact I got some messages
about not beeing able to share them) but I did't bother to check in
too deep.
I had to install TCP/IP services on the PC that are currently not able
to support that ... NetBEUI as transport I could't make run.
Thanks to all of you.
Henning

Sun has a package called LMserver, and there is a small company that makes a
product called Samba. LMserver scales better from what I have read.

Samba is the application that you want to look at. Samba is a shareware tool
available on the Internet that turns your Unix box into a Lanman server, it's
just simply an incredible piece of software. I have been using Samba for the
last three years on SGI, HPUX and Solaris/ Sparc, unfortunately I have not had
a chance to build and run it on Solaris/x86 but intend to very soon. Start by
looking at the Samba Web page - http://lake.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba - where
you will find lots of documentation including Man pages, FAQs, Archives from
the SMB News group and Samba E-Mail list. There are binaries for Samba there as
well but no binaries for x86 that I can see. If you want to run the best, and
probably only, Lanman server that is available for your platform you should
strongly consider Samba, it is use around the world, support is excellent and
it has proven to be a _very_ stable product.
If you have further questions about Samba try subscribing to the Samba E-Mail
list by sending your request "SUBSCRIBE SAMBA <YOUR FULL NAME>" to
listproc@arvidsjaur.anu.edu.au and then post your questions there. I will be
doing a build of Samba on x86 in the next few weeks and if you are interested I
can let you know when this is completed.

As a matter of fact there is. Take a look at
http://lake.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/ for more information.
