Their contributions are gratefully acknowledged. + +Please refer to the manual pages and change-log for a list of those +who have contributed in the form of patches, bug fixes or other +direct changes to the package. + +Contributions of any kind are welcomed. If you want to help then +please contact Andrew.Tridgell@anu.edu.au, or via normal mail at + + Andrew Tridgell + 3 Ballow Crescent + Macgregor, A.C.T + 2615 Australia +===================================================================== + + +Lee Fisher (leefi@microsoft.com) +Charles Fox (cfox@microsoft.com) +Dan Perry (danp@exchnge.microsoft.com) + + These Microsoft people have been very helpful and supportive of + the development of Samba. + + Lee very kindly supplied me with a copy of the X/Open SMB + specs. These have been invaluable in getting the details of the + implementation right. They will become even more important as we move + towards a Lanman 2.1 compliant server. Lee has provided very + useful advice on several aspects of the server. + Lee has also provided me with copies of Windows NTAS 3.1, Visual C + and a developers CD-ROM. Being able to run NT at home is a + great help. + + Charles has helped out in numerous ways with the provision of SMB + specifications and helpful advice. He has been following the + discussion of Samba on the mailing list and has stepped in + regularly to clarify points and to offer help. + + Dan has put me in touch with NT developers to help sort out bugs and + compatability issues. He has also supplied me with a copy of the + NT browsing spec, which will help a lot in the development of the + Samba browser code. + + +Bruce Perens (bruce@pixar.com) + + In appreciation of his effort on Samba we have sent Andrew copies of + various Pixar computer-graphics software products. Pixar is best known + for its "Renderman" product, the 3-D renderer used by ILM to make special + effects for "Terminator II" and "Jurassic Park". We won the first Oscar + given to a computer graphic animated feature for our short film "Tin Toy". + Our retail products "Typestry" and "Showplace", incorporate the same + renderer used on the films, and are available on Windows and the + Macintosh. + + + +Henry Lee (hyl@microplex.co) + + Henry sent me a M202 ethernet print server, making my little lan + one of the few home networks to have it's own print server! + + ``Microplex Systems Ltd. is a manufacturer of local and wide area + network communications equipment based in beautiful Vancouver, British + Columbia, Canada. Microplex's first products were synchronous wide + area network devices used in the mainframe communication networks. In + August 1991 Microplex introduced its first LAN product, the M200 print + server, the first high performance print server under US$1,000.'' + + +Tom Haapanen (tomh@metrics.com) + + Tom sent me two 16 bit SMC ethernet cards to replace my ancient 8 + bit ones. The performance is much better! + + Software Metrics Inc. is a small custom software development and + consulting firm located in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We work + with a variety of environments (such as Windows, Windows NT and + Unix), tools and application areas, and can provide assistance for + development work ranging from a few days to to multiple man-year + projects. You can find more information at http://www.metrics.com/. + + +Steve Kennedy (steve@gbnet.net) + + Steve sent me 16Mb of ram so that I could install/test + NT3.5. I previous had only 8Mb ram in my test machine, which + wasn't enough to install a properly functioning copy of + NTAS. Being able to directly test NT3.5 allowed me to solve + several long standing NT<->Samba problems. Thanks Steve! + +John Terpstra (jht@aquasoft.com.au) + + Aquasoft are a speciaist consulting company whose Samba using + customers span the world. + + Aquasoft have been avid supporters of the Samba project. As a + token of appreciation Aquasoft have donated a 486DX2/66 PC with + a 540MB EIDE drive and 20MB RAM. + + John has helped to isolate quite a few little glitches over time + and has managed to implement some very interesting installations + of Samba. + + The donation of the new PC will make it possible to more fully + diagnose and observe the behaviour of Samba in conjuction with + other SMB protocol utilising systems. + + +Timothy F. Sipples (tsipple@vnet.IBM.COM) +Steve Withers (swithers@vnet.IBM.COM) + + Tim and Steve from IBM organised a copy of the OS/2 developers + connection CD set for me, and gave lots of help in getting + OS/2 Warp installed. I hope this will allow me to finally fix + up those annoying OS/2 related Samba bugs that I have been + receiving reports of. |
