See the Web page on HP's new product, CIFS/9000: http://www.unixsolutions.hp.com/products/cifs.html Then click on the "Questions and Answers" link : http://www.unixsolutions.hp.com/products/cifs_qa.html You'll find the quote : "Q: Is the server side of CIFS/9000 based on Open Source Samba? A: Yes. HP is committed to submitting CIFS/9000 enhancements back to the Open Source community." Hmmm. This is the first we've heard of this (rather good news though, if it's true :-). This is also the *only* mention of Samba on the entire product site, even though it looks like the entire server part of the product is based on Samba :-) :-). It is intended to be shipped as part of every HPUX system from March 2000 onwards. More as I find out more.....
