bj-kaiser Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 December 20th 2007. Today the Protocol Freedom Information Foundation (PFIF), a non-profit organization created by the Software Freedom Law Center, signed an agreement with Microsoft to receive the protocol documentation needed to fully interoperate with the Microsoft Windows workgroup server products and to make them available to Free Software projects such as Samba.Microsoft was required to make this information available to competitors as part of the European Commission March 24th 2004 Decision in the antitrust lawsuit, after losing their appeal against that decision on September 17th 2007. ....source: http://samba.org/samba/PFIF/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bj-kaiser Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 ooOOoooo. Proper Samba implementation...For Re-engineering the wheel by just looking at the traffic, SAMBA works quite well. I don't have to complaints about that.I'm just wondering what you mean by "proper implementation".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 By proper I meant something that hasn't been reverse engineered. Samba works quite well in most scenarios. I've had some cases where it fails horribly, or just isn't up to snuff with NFS or true windows-to-windows sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
