Hmmm, I don't use, so take my informations with a grain of salt. I believe smbfs is a kernel
patch/module, so porting it should not really be feasible. As I said, you you've got a Linux box
around, you could always smb-mount it on the linuxbox and export it via NFS :(

As I wrote yesterday, I started to implement a vtp-service into samba.
It is quite easy and an experimental setup (starting a shell on a pseudo-
terminal for each vtp-session) seems to -er, well- work. That is, as long
as the data-transfer-rate from the host to the pc is not too high, every-
thing goes fine. If there is some kind of handshake-condition on the pc-side,
the pc stops receiving. I guess, there is some clever handling defined in
the vtp-protocol. If someone could tell me, where to find it? :-)).
Thanks, cal.

Message-ID: <Pine.SUN.3.91.950426081122.29781A-100000@socrates>
Greetings,
Installed 1.9.13alpha14 this morning. Server is SparcServer 4/470, SunOS
4.1.3. Clients are OS/2 Warp with Lan Requester version 4. I noticed
two things right off the bat:
Accessing files that start with a dot (.) is still a little flaky. I can
"type" and use 4OS/2's "list" as well as the gnu util cp to get at the
file. 4OS/2 filename completion, however, does not work, and nor does
"copy" or "xcopy".
It is better though. In previous versions I could not access these files
at all with the OS/2 port of Emacs. Now, under Emacs, filename
completion as well as all file access seems to work fine.
Now for the really nasty one. I have mentioned in the past that the WPS
Drives objects for Samba mounts don't work--they fail with "Extended
Attributes Not Supported". Well, now things are worse. Under NFS the
drives objects work--sort of, but they create a file in the root of the
mount called "wp root. sf" containing information for the WPS--icon
positions, view settings, and so forth. If this file exists and I
attempt to open the icon for the mount--boom--Trap 000E.
Now, if this file does not exist and I open the icon for the mount I get
a window with one generic document icon in it, with no title, and a
"size" of over 1 gigabyte.
I didn't attempt to open that icon. :->
Thanks,

Subject: win95 irritation
Message-ID: <950426102402671@ctelcom.com>
Hi, just an FYI
I'm running Win95 for hours at a time. I am using almost the latest
(1.9.13a8).
My problem is that win95 forgets about the samba machine if I
haven't used it for a while, and refuses to recover.
Sometimes rebooting once works, sometimes multiple reboots are
required.
This problem isn't happening with samba 1.8.05, or with NT 3.51, or
with MSClient for DOS.
The network connections are robust. (Ping and telnet work
flawlessly, and I've created a host entry in win95 directory for my
machine to see if it would help. It did help with ping an telnet but
not lanmanager.)
I am deep in a design phase with parts of the innards TR-TSY-303
Remote Digital Terminal for digital telephone switches, and don't have
time to figure out why this is happening. I also might not be smart
enough.
Thanks!
wade

In order to get the TCP_NODELAY option for FreeBSD and hence a tad more
speed, one needs to add a one-liner to "includes.h" under the relevant
system dependency #define ..
#include <netinet/tcp.h>
Works now :-)

Using the AT&T/NCR StarGroup software you can log in over netbios
using MS-kermit on the PC side. This is a side effect of using
their OSI transport layer and the fact that the unix and netbios
names work the same way. It would be really nice to be able to
do this kermit ->netbios ->tcp ->login as well, because it is not
always easy to get a kermit program to talk to the network directly
especially when other operations are using tcp/ip. Kermit is
especially handy for scripted operations as well as terminal
emulation and file transfers.

I don't really know if there is any standard for this, but the
source for ms-kermit should be available if that would help.
