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."

    1. Several posters will call this FUD (after all, there are no problems with anything from Apple ever) and some of them will get modded up.

    2. Several posters will claim that it works for them (which is of course fine, but doesn't mean that others don't have the problem)

    3. Combine 2 with 1 and you are sure to be modded up.

    4. Several posters will take this as proof that OSX sucks, is unusable, whatever. (Yeah, because no other software appart from OSX might have slight problems after its initial release) Will promptly be modded troll (and rightly so in this case)
