File Sharing Difficulties Frustrate Tiger Admins

Posted by Zonk on from the catch-the-kitty-by-the-tail dept.

rmallico wrote in to mention a story currently running on Eweek about technical difficulties sites running Tiger are experiencing. From the article: "A number of sites running Apple's new 'Tiger' operating system are experiencing problems with SMB file sharing and authentication with Microsoft's Active Directory, Ziff Davis Internet News has learned. Although Apple Computer Inc.'s Tiger increases support for Server Message Block file sharing and Active Directory, several sources say that the Finder fails to log on to Windows and Linux Samba file servers."

    They're just pandering to the Geek crowd.

    "Oh, yeah, -36, that's an I/O Error. Check the logs, then sacrafice a pure white chicken under the full moon and pour its blood into the NT server."

    They're just trying to rope in the Geeks along with their artsy-fartsy core fanbase, with the hope that some will mate, producing a new generation of geeksy-farts ultracustomers who will be irresistably drawn to Apple's unique blend of superior design and industrial strength Unix aracana.
