samba - Nov 2005 - Current status of OS/2 eCS client to Samba 3.0.20b

Subject pretty much askes it all. For those that run OS/2 eCS against Samba
servers on a regular basis... looks like I might have to head back in that
direction. I am trying to avoid NetBIOS which
means the usual SrvIFS I would prefer to have go bye bye once and for all. I did
get SrvIFS-IP from the "Beyond DHCP" RedBook yesterday, but is has
memory corruption on the server daemon side if the
full DNS name of the server is "too long". So, that leaves using the
IBM File/Print client directly to Samba.... or un-routable NetBIOS with SrvIFS.

In case it adjusts the status answer, I would be creating boot CD's to
connect to the server using bootAble which says it can integrate the IBM client
into the slim copy of OS/2 it produces.

TIA!

Well, since no one touched this thread... I've gone and done it. I am now
running eCS 1.2MR with success connecting to the Samba version mentioned. I have
not turned on EA support, nor do I really
want it. Got bit with EA's getting corrupted on NetWare 3.x and 4.x
servers... not to mention McAfee NetShield and NetWare 5 implementing their own
fake EA to keep track of virus scanning files which
kills OS/2 as the fake EA is not in OS/2 binary format. So, no EA's for me
on shared volumes thank you very much! ;-)

Seems solid to me thus far, great work Samba team! Of course I would love a
domain style logon, etc... will have to wait until the eCS team gets Samba
integrated in place of the IBM code which I think
I heard might be coming down the pipe. Nice not to have to set up an extra
server to do some OS/2 consulting.
