Samba is NO option for Mac users.
Not the least of which is because Samba is a Windows solution, and SMB is not a native filesystem on UNIX, so using it is a super-kludge. Obviously, this won't solve the file-ids issue, but I'm requiring all OSX users to join the NIS domain and mount file servers using NFS. This has worked pretty good so far. They still create the .DS_Store directories and whatnot, but this has mainly caused problems, for me in our setup, with scripts that automatically process files on the shares, having to exclude certain files. Since we already have a complete network of diskless Linux clients, this reduced the number of file server configurations that needed to be maintained. It was getting to be a real headache to maintain NFS and Samba and Netatalk (which I discontinued support for on our network a long while ago). -- Andy Bakun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
