Interview with Andrew Tridgell

Posted by michael on from the sharing-made-easy dept.

Jeremy Allison - Sam writes "See here for a *great* interview with tridge. My favourite quote: 'In 50 years' time I doubt anyone would have ever heard of Samba, but they'll probably be using rsync in one way or another,' Tridgell says. Cheers, Jeremy."

    Tridgell says that he recently discovered a certain combination of data which, when sent down the wire to a Windows server, rebooted it. "Every NT server just completely rebooted. We decided not to emulate that."

    "Certainly (the Samba team) knows a lot more about the Microsoft protocol than the people who Microsoft sends to the (annual) CIFS conferences. The people they've sent along haven't had a clue, but I don't know if they were just people who happened to be walking up the corridor when the manager decided he needed someone to go along."

    Good to know that at least somebody understands it...
