The Samba Consultants List
==========================

This is a list of people who are prepared to commercialy support
Samba. Being on this list does not imply any sort of endorsement by
anyone, it is just provided in the hope that it will be useful.

Note that the organisations listed below will expect you to pay for
The support that they offer. I've been told that several people
assumed this was a list of kindly companies offering free commercial
support!

For free support use the Samba mailing list and the comp.protocols.smb
newsgroup.

If you want to be added to the list, or want your entry modified then
contact the address below. They are currently listed in the
order that they were received. If it gets too big we may organise it
by region. Please make sure to include a header line giving the region
and country, eg CANBERRA  - AUSTRALIA. 

You can contact the maintainers at samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au

Pacific ESI has used and installed Samba since 1.6 on a range
of machines running SunOS, BSD/OS, SCO/UNIX, HP/UX, and Solaris,
and WfWG and Windows95.  The largest system worked on to date
involved an Australia wide network of machines with PCs and SUNs
at the various nodes.  The in-house testing site is a wide area
network with three sites, remotely connected with PPP and with
SUN servers at each site to all of which are connected several
PCs running mainly WfWG.
