APPLE EXPO, PARIS--September 10, 2002--Apple® today announced that starting in January 2003, all new Mac® models will only boot into Mac® OS X as the start-up operating system,.....
What they probably mean is a lack of driver support for some new video card or other piece of hardware will prevent OS9 from starting when they release the new hardware. However, the press release does state OSX only which implies boot code which checks for OSX and halts the boot if any other OS is detected. I ran Yellow Dog Linux for awhile on my iBook. I went back to OSX but that's not the point, I like having the choice.
Actually Samba is installed with Jaguar so you are using it. If you look in the Sharing panel in System Prefs on your Mac you'll find a new option called 'Windows File Sharing'. If you enable it Samba will start and your NT system should be able to see your Mac. Of course you also need to have file sharing turned on for the NT system, and you'll need to see a network workgroup name and select at least one directory on the NT system to be shared on the network. I don't recall how it's done but the Network settings in the Control Panel would be a good place to start. Also, you should set the Mac SMB workgroup name to match the workgroup name you use on the NT machine. This is set using the Directory Access utility in/Applications/Utilites. Select the SMB service on the Services tab and click 'Configure'. You'll be prompted for a workgroup name and a WINS server address. For the setup you describe you can leave the WINS address blank. Now if you select 'Connect to Server' from the Finder's 'Go' menu you should see the NT machine listed. Since upgrading to Jaguar my Mac lists all the Linux SMB and AFP shares and all the Macs on the network. I haven't tried it with a Windows machine yet but I'd reckon it would work as described.
No, I definitely meant Netinfo. Netinfo is a directory service which contains a lot of good stuff including all the user accounts, passwords and paths to home directories. Apparently it can also be used to setup automounts of remote file systems using nfs and hopefully also afp, smb, etc. By tweaking Netinfo is should be possible to mount a Users/* share on a Linux box and then change my local home dir from/Users/my_home_dir to/Volumes/linux_box/Users/my_home_dir. I'd prefer not to use NFS because I assume I'd lose my resource forks, but I've got my Linux box running Netatalk with AppleTalk switched off, AFP over TCP/IP, and I'm wondering if maybe that will solve the problem. Probably not because the resource forks are part of the underlying file system, not the form of network file share. Maybe I need to share the home directories from one of the Macs instead of a Linux box.
