Samba Under OS X?

Posted by Cliff on from the ubiquitous-smb-service-for-all-OSes dept.

iriefrank asks: "Thursby Software announced it will demonstrate a Mac OS X version of its popular DAVE filesharing software. It will include peer-to-peer file and print sharing between PCs and Macs, but now that Mac OS has UNIX underpinnings (and uses BSD networking), could one easily port SAMBA to OS X?" Just to be fair, could someone familiar with DAVE let us know if it offers anything more than what one can get with SAMBA?
