while looking for a solution for webbased access to our samba-servers I found a recommendation towards using DAV instead.
I just took a first glance at DAV (www.webdav.org) and find it very interesting. Are there any documentes comparing these two strategies in intranet and internet (speed, reliability ...) I would also be greatly interested if anyone here uses DAV to allow roaming users to access their server-files and is willing to share his experiences. I see a lot of troubles regarding some special and widely used features in samba that do not have a direct counterpart at DAV like valid users, force group ... and then samba allows to map different directories under the same sharename for different users, which is also a very common feature in samba. WebDav seems as an alternative to VPN's and tools like smb2www-2 to me, cause its very easy to install and could be secured/maintained in well known apache-context (if one uses the apache-dav-modules) Thnx for all, peter -- mag. peter pilsl IT-Consulting tel: +43-699-1-3574035 fax: +43-699-4-3574035 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
