Samba Wins eWeek & PC Magazine Award

And we beat out Sun Microsystems Java 2 Platform Standard Edition Version 1.4 and Bea Systems WebLogic Server 7.0 for the award, so I'm stunned that we won. These guys have marketing departments and a *budget.*" It's a strange contrast to the kind of attention that Samba is getting from Microsoft. (See these earlier posts for more on the CIFS situation.)

  1. How does one do domain trusts? by Malc · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I've recently started looking into setting up a domain at home based on Samba. However, to be of any use to me, it must be able to support domain trust relationships so that I can have seamless access to the domain at work (via a VPN).

    Can anybody tell me, or point to resources that explain how to do this? As far as I can tell, the latest stable version of Samba doesn't support this. Does anybody know if it's even slated for the future, and preferably before NT4 gets moved to unsupported status by MSFT? I had a look at Samba TNG, but their docs aren't much help. Unfortunately, I don't have as much time as I would like to just download, install it on my Debian box, and experiment.
