FYI, I'm just a lurker and not an expert on samba, but I have fond memories of the joy of discovering and installing an ancient version of the samba 1.x port to OS/2, and running it under OS/2 Warp 3.0 (back when even IBM didn't include peer-to-peer LAN networking on the OS) as early as in mid-1994 or early-1995. ( http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/samba/samba2.html ) This was before I discovered Linux and the *ix world. Well, I thought that the 3.0 release of samba was something worth reporting about, hence I wrote this: Samba quietly turned 3.0 Networking for the masses, even SCO. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=11830 Please, email any comments, flames and/or corrections via private mail please, to avoid polluting this list.
