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.

CAMBRIDGE - ENGLAND

Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton
Phone: +44 1223 570 262 or 570 264
lkcl@cb1.com

Configuration Experience:

Clients: MSClient 3.0; WfWg; W95; NT 3.5 and 4.0 Workstation.
Servers: Samba 1.9.15 and above (on-hands experience with Linux, SunOS
4.1.3 and FreeBSD); NT 4.0 Server.

Present Experience:

Luke Leighton, a Samba Team member since October 1995, understands
Browsing and WINS from having re-designed and re-written nmbd, and
SMB/CIFS from attending the two CIFS conferences; by listening to
discussions amongst the Samba Developers, and from answering user's
queries on the Samba Digest.

Support offered:

If there are either areas of functionality that are missing or bugs
that are affecting the performance of your company; if you require
advice / training on the deployment and administration of SMB/CIFS
Clients and Servers; if your company's policy only allows you to
use samba if it is supported commercially... I am available for hire
anywhere in the world.

Long-term Project Aims:

I would like to implement a CIFS proxying system suitable for Enterprise
Networks (large Intranets: 10,000 to 150,000 simultaneous users) that is
backwards compatible with all CIFS/SMB servers (MSClient 3.0 for DOS,
through to NT 4.0).

I would also like to implement an alternative SMB client for NT and 95.
This would allow samba to offer secure and authenticated file and print
access, to the extent that the laws of your country permit.
