+Yes. <a href="http://www.thursby.com/" target="_top">Thursby</a> now have a CIFS Client / Server called <a href="http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html" target="_top">DAVE</a>
+</p><p>
+They test it against Windows 95, Windows NT and samba for
+compatibility issues. At the time of writing, DAVE was at version
+1.0.1. The 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 update is available as a free download from
+the Thursby web site (the speed of finder copies has been greatly
+enhanced, and there are bug-fixes included).
+</p><p>
+Alternatives - There are two free implementations of AppleTalk for
+several kinds of UNIX machnes, 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
+the Macintosh. The two free omplementations are
+<a href="http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk/" target="_top">Netatalk</a>, and
+<a href="http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/appletalk/atalk.html" target="_top">CAP</a>.
+What Samba offers MS
+Windows users, these packages offer to Macs. For more info on these

+ http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leeuw/samba/warp.html</a>.</p><p>Basically, you need three components:</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>The File and Print Client ('IBM Peer')</td></tr><tr><td>TCP/IP ('Internet support') </td></tr><tr><td>The &quot;NetBIOS over TCP/IP&quot; driver ('TCPBEUI')</td></tr></table><p>Installing the first two together with the base operating
+ system on a blank system is explained in the Warp manual. If Warp
+ has already been installed, but you now want to install the
+ networking support, use the &quot;Selective Install for Networking&quot;
+ object in the &quot;System Setup&quot; folder.</p><p>Adding the &quot;NetBIOS over TCP/IP&quot; driver is not described
+ in the manual and just barely in the online documentation. Start
+ MPTS.EXE, click on OK, click on &quot;Configure LAPS&quot; and click
+ on &quot;IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP&quot; in 'Protocols'. This line
+ is then moved to 'Current Configuration'. Select that line,
+ click on &quot;Change number&quot; and increase it from 0 to 1. Save this
+ configuration.</p><p>If the Samba server(s) is not on your local subnet, you
+ can optionally add IP names and addresses of these servers
+ to the &quot;Names List&quot;, or specify a WINS server ('NetBIOS
+ Nameserver' in IBM and RFC terminology). For Warp Connect you
+ may need to download an update for 'IBM Peer' to bring it on
+ the same level as Warp 4. See the webpage mentioned above.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id3013017"></a>How can I configure OS/2 Warp 3 (not Connect),

+ world-readable. Copy your OS/2 driver files there. Note
+ that the .EA_ files must still be separate, so you will need
+ to use the original install files, and not copy an installed

+ add to your <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt> a parameter, <i class="parameter"><tt>os2 driver map =

+WfWg does a lousy job with passwords. I find that if I change my

+delete the .pwl files in the windows directory. The PC will complain about not finding the files, but will soon get over it, allowing you to enter the new password.

+If you don't do this you may find that WfWg remembers and uses the old

+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
+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
+<i class="parameter"><tt>nt acl support = no</tt></i>
+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, etc...). See the
+<a href="smb.conf.5.html" target="_top">smb.conf(5)</a> man page
+for more details on this option. Also note that the
+<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>
+The following is a minimal profile share:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+ [profile]
+ path = /export/profile
+ create mask = 0600
+ directory mask = 0700
+ nt acl support = no
+ read only = no
+</pre><p>
+The reason for this bug is that the Win2k SP2 client copies
+the security descriptor for the profile which contains
+the Samba server's SID, and not the domain SID. The client
+compares the SID for SAMBA\user and realizes it is
+different that the one assigned to DOMAIN\user. Hence the reason
+for the <span class="errorname">access denied</span> message.
+</p><p>
+By disabling the <i class="parameter"><tt>nt acl support</tt></i> parameter, Samba will send
+the Win2k client a response to the QuerySecurityDescriptor
+trans2 call which causes the client to set a default ACL
+for the profile. This default ACL includes
