Alternative to samba

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

Why an alternative? 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,

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' :-).

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.

Cheers
Toby

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 :)
