Samba Projects Directory ======================== >>>>> NOTE: THIS FILE IS NOW VERY OUT OF DATE <<<<< This is a list of who's working on what in Samba. It's not guaranteed to be uptodate or accurate but I hope it will help us getting coordinated. If you are working on something to do with Samba and you aren't here then please let me know! Also, if you are listed below and you have any corrections or updates then please let me know. Email contact: samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au ======================================================================== Documentation and FAQ Docs and FAQ files for the Samba suite of software. Contact samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au with the diffs. These are urgently required. The FAQ is being added to on an ad hoc basis, see the web pages for info. Mark Preston was working on a set of formatted docs for Samba. Is this still happening? Contact mpreston@sghms.ac.uk Status last updated 2nd October 1996 ======================================================================== ======================================================================== Netbeui support This aimed to produce patches so that Samba can be used with clients that do not have TCP/IP. It will try to remain as portable as possible. Contact Brian.Onn@Canada.Sun.COM (Brian Onn) Unfortunately it died, and although a lot of people have expressed interest nobody has come forward to do it. The Novell port (see Samba web pages) includes NetBEUI functionality in a proprietrary library which should still be helpful as we have the interfaces. Alan Cox (a.cox@li.org) has the information required to write the state machine if someone is going to do the work. Status last updated 2nd October 1996 ======================================================================== ======================================================================== Smbfs A mountable smb filesystem for Linux using the userfs userspace filesystem Contact lendecke@namu01.gwdg.de (Volker Lendecke) This works really well, and is measurably more efficient than commercial client software. It is now part of the Linux kernel. Long filename support is in use. Status last updated June 1997 ======================================================================== ======================================================================== Admin Tool Aims to produce a nice smb.conf editor and other useful tools for administering a Samba system. Contact: Steve Brown (steve@unicorn.dungeon.com) In the design phase. Status last updated 4th September 1994 ======================================================================== ======================================================================== Lanman Client. Contact: john@amanda.xs4all.nl (John Stewart) Aims to produce a reliable LANMAN Client implementation for LINUX, and possibly other variations of UNIX.
