Sorry, but this is part of the idea of free software. You have no restrictions on use of it, but if you have needs that nobody can fulfil for free, you have the choice to pick anybody in the world with an IRIX machine and a compiler and do it for you. You might end up having to pay for it, but that is the price you pay for using a niche platform. If you feel better using proprietary software, this is your choice as well. We don't attach any strings on how you use Samba. You might find somebody to sell you a proprietary SMB server for IRIX, I don't know that market well enough. All we can offer is another option among the wealth of SMB servers around. Don't get me wrong, I would love to help you. But I don't have an IRIX machine around. Volker
