Hi, I have a very basic question: how to let samba talk to MACs? I mean for file and printer sharing? What should I install or config on linux server and on MAC machines? Any help is greatly appreciated! Hongwei Li

Any help is greatly appreciated!Quick and dirty is to have a Linux box standing between the PC and the MAC, share the MAC files out to the Linux box, and have the Linux box re-share them out to the PC. Do the same thing, in reverse, to let MACs see the PC's file shares. The Linux box thus becomes the router/translator/files-server. This can also be done for Netware. Caldera Open-Linux Standard has all you need for this, including MAC, Netware, and Samba interfaces, built-in. Send me private e-mail and we can work out a price, I'm a Caldera VAR. ___________________________________________________ Roeland M.J.

This is the setup we use here at the University of Michigan; SAMBA to provide PC file and print services, and Netatalk running along side of it to expose the same printers and file systems to the Macs. Best of all, Netatalk is free. See http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk --Allan
