+Yes. <ulink url="http://www.thursby.com/">Thursby</ulink> has a CIFS Client/Server called <ulink url="http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html">DAVE.</ulink>
+They test it against Windows 95, Windows NT /200x/XP and Samba for
+compatibility issues. At the time of this writing, DAVE was at version
+4.1. Please refer to Thursby's Web site for more information regarding this
+product.

+Alternatives There are two free implementations of AppleTalk for
+several kinds of UNIX machines and several more commercial ones.
+These products allow you to run file services and print services
+natively to Macintosh users, with no additional support required on

+Windows for Workgroups does a lousy job with passwords. When you change passwords on either

+directory. The PC will complain about not finding the files, but will soon get over it,
+allowing you to enter the new password.
+</p><p>
+If you do not do this, you may find that Windows for Workgroups remembers and uses the old
+password, even if you told it a new one.
+</p><p>
+Often Windows for Workgroups will totally ignore a password you give it in a dialog box.

+There are several annoyances with Windows 2000 SP2. One of which
+only appears when using a Samba server to host user profiles
+to Windows 2000 SP2 clients in a Windows domain. This assumes
+that Samba is a member of the domain, but the problem will
+most likely occur if it is not.
+</p><p>
+In order to serve profiles successfully to Windows 2000 SP2
+clients (when not operating as a PDC), Samba must have
+<a class="indexterm" name="id2975922"></a><i class="parameter"><tt>nt acl support</tt></i> = no
+added to the file share which houses the roaming profiles.
+If this is not done, then the Windows 2000 SP2 client will
+complain about not being able to access the profile (Access
+Denied) and create multiple copies of it on disk (DOMAIN.user.001,
+DOMAIN.user.002, and so on). See the <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt> man page
+for more details on this option. Also note that the
+<a class="indexterm" name="id2975950"></a><i class="parameter"><tt>nt acl support</tt></i> parameter was formally a global parameter in
+releases prior to Samba 2.2.2.
+</p><p>
+<link linkend="minimalprofile"> provides a minimal profile share.
+</p><div class="example"><a name="minimalprofile"></a><p class="title"><b>Example 38.1. Minimal profile share</b></p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td> </td></tr><tr><td><i class="parameter"><tt>[profile]</tt></i></td></tr><tr><td><i class="parameter"><tt>path = /export/profile</tt></i></td></tr><tr><td><i class="parameter"><tt>create mask = 0600</tt></i></td></tr><tr><td><i class="parameter"><tt>directory mask = 0700</tt></i></td></tr><tr><td><i class="parameter"><tt>nt acl support = no</tt></i></td></tr><tr><td><i class="parameter"><tt>read only = no</tt></i></td></tr></table></div><p>
+The reason for this bug is that the Windows 200x SP2 client copies
+the security descriptor for the profile that contains
+the Samba server's SID, and not the domain SID. The client
+compares the SID for SAMBA\user and realizes it is
+different from the one assigned to DOMAIN\user. Hence, the reason
+for the <span class="errorname">access denied</span> message.
+</p><p>
+By disabling the <a class="indexterm" name="id2976065"></a><i class="parameter"><tt>nt acl support</tt></i> parameter, Samba will send
+the Windows 200x client a response to the QuerySecurityDescriptor trans2 call, which causes the client
+to set a default ACL for the profile. This default ACL includes:
