Hi netters My company sells computer systems consisting of an unix server (AIX or Solaris) and a number of NT clients. This clients gets access to the servers by SMB. At the moment I'm using AIX Connections on AIX servers and Solstice LMServer on Solaris Servers but these seems not be as good as e.g. samba (seen from a functionality point of view) but they sure has the advantage of being official supported by big companies. My question is: Do you know of any official and supported product just as good as samba. I can tell you that one of my problems with the two official ones are lack of the RDONLY possibility for a complete volume despite what file permissions says. Thanks in advance Kim B�ndergaard CCI Europe kbp@cci.dk

Samba _is_ commercially supported, not by a single company but by Samba-consultants. Have a look at the Samba-homepage, there is a link to the list. BTW: I think this type of support might be even BETTER than from one single company. Bye, Raphael Leiteritz rleiter@indisoft.com

Give Syntax a call. Their product is called Totalnet Advanced Server. = Give them a call at (206)838-2626. I am using their product at US DoJ and am very happy with the support I have got so far.

Err, at the risk of sounding funny, why not just buy commercial support for Samba ? Check out : http://lake.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/ and click on the rotating "Samba Commercial Support" button. After all, why do you want something 'as good as the real thing' when you can have 'the real thing' :-). Regards, Jeremy Allison. Samba Team.

Have you had a look at SCO VisionFS? A 30 evaluation is available from http://www.vision.sco.com/products. It's supported on AIX 3.2.5+ and Solaris 2.3+ (as well as many others). I'm not sure what the RDONLY problem is (not familiar with the other products), but VisionFS allows complete shares to be offered read-only, although it wil not exceed the existing UNIX permissions.

Heck, this is what you get when you buy Windows NT. You buy NT, get awful, limited support from Microsoft, and then hire a consoltant to do the real support. I like the idea of SAMBA, where you just pay for the support :) Thornton
