4 > Are there any Macintosh clients for Samba?
6 Yes. Thursby now have a CIFS Client / Server called DAVE - see
7 http://www.thursby.com/
9 They test it against Windows 95, Windows NT and samba for
10 compatibility issues. At the time of writing, DAVE was at version
11 1.0.1. The 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 update is available as a free download from
12 the Thursby web site (the speed of finder copies has been greatly
13 enhanced, and there are bug-fixes included).
15 Alternatives - There are two free implementations of AppleTalk for
16 several kinds of UNIX machnes, and several more commercial ones.
17 These products allow you to run file services and print services
18 natively to Macintosh users, with no additional support required on
19 the Macintosh. The two free omplementations are Netatalk,
20 http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk/, and CAP,
21 http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/appletalk/atalk.html. What Samba offers MS
22 Windows users, these packages offer to Macs. For more info on these
23 packages, Samba, and Linux (and other UNIX-based systems) see
