  1. Enterprise scale deployment on Samba Success in the Enterprise? · · Score: 5, Informative

    We have a project inside IBM called the Global Storage Architecture that provides enterprise file system service. There are currently over 95K users on GSA with over 143TB of used space, spread across 39 installations on 5 continents.

    There are several different ways to connect to GSA File depending on the platform and application, but Samba is used for connecting the Windows clients, of which there are tens of thousands. In addition to general office productivity, many of these clients are doing hardware design and software development.

    You can read an account of GSA File in appendix B of the Implementing NFSv4 in the Enterprise: Planning and Migration Strategies Redbook. The appendix is oriented toward the NFS aspects of the service, but you can still get a good idea of what is going on.

  3. XAD - a third alternative on Searching for a Directory Service Solution? · · Score: 1

    You should take a look at XAD: http://www.padl.com/Products/XAD.html

    It is basically the cobbled together solution you mention, only nicely integrated into one supported package.

  4. I voted for John Carter on Texas Rep Wants To Jail File Traders · · Score: 1
    . . . and I will again.

    Lots of posters have commented on jailing someone for a $15 offense. I think you'll find that the people they would go after have gigabytes of songs available for download and have transmitted tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of dollars worth of songs to other users.

    You also have to understand his district to know why this won't keep him from getting re-elected. It is a newly created district that spans the most conservative part of a very conservative state, tracing a long narrow band from Round Rock in Williamson county north of Austin southeast to College Station.

    A Williamson county jury recently made the news for sending a drunk driver up the river for 40 years. He hadn't caused an accident or hurt anyone, he was just out driving drunk for the fifth time. The previous four offenses were in another county where he got nothing but fines. We throw the book at people in Williamson county.

    Trust me, this will go over well with most of his constituents.

  5. Re:Good remote ISP on Desperately Seeking Secure and Reliable Email? · · Score: 1
    Agreed - Illuminati does get it.

    They have everything you've asked for. My only real gripe is the relatively small disk quota that comes with the basic shell account.

    See http://www.io.com/io/history.html for the details of their stance on privacy.
