Can a Macintosh access Samba file and printer shares? Thanks, Steve
>Can a Macintosh access Samba file and printer shares?OS 9 - Yes, but you need a program like 'Dave' (www.thursby.com) OS X - Yes, a Samba client is included with OS X and can be accessed by either the commandline, or 'Connect to server' option under the Go menu in the finder. If you use the finder, you must type in the address as: 'smb://machine/sharename'. I'm not certain about printer shares, but I believe not at this moment.. that might change with OS X 10.2 coming out in August.
Why access a samba share? Try to emulate appletalk instead http://cgi.zettabyte.net/fom-serve/netatalk/cache/1.html Its rather easy to setup but you need to modify the kernel first /Alexander ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Thom" <samba@steventhom.com> To: "Samba Samba" <samba@lists.samba.org> Sent: Saturday, July 20, 2002 5:21 PM Subject: [Samba] Mac and SAMBA> Can a Macintosh access Samba file and printer shares? > > Thanks, > > Steve > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba >
