Dave / Samba Issues

[Justin Bennett]

It works ok for most things, it's just seems to not like home directory
shares for some reason. It's the only one thats reasonable for Classic Mac
OS. Mac OS X has it built in, I think it uses the smbmount code. It works
nice we have one os X box here. But we'd have to rebuy applications to be
native for OS X, and some don't even make OS X versions yet. I'm not too
fond of running applications in Emulation mode, thats why they are still
running OS 9.
