Still using 10.1.5 and Samba
Authored by: tremblyj on Oct 18, '02 09:17:25AM


Hi,

I haven't upgraded to 10.2 yet. I'm really nervous about the server software that I've downloaded, compiled and installed. I have Samba server, MySQL server, PHP, SSL and Webmin running perfectly on my QuickSilver G4 - 733MHZ -512MB. I have a share setup that can be accessed by IBM users whose NT domain accounts are mirrored on my machine (With OS X & Samba accounts. Webmin allowed me to setup automatic creation and deletion of the Samba accounts when I work with the OS X accounts in the Users preference panel.) and I have shared my printer to Windows users (This is for testing purposes only. Our printers all have their own network connections.) thanks to Webmin.

Once I got Samba configured correctly, I have had zero problems transferring files to and from my Mac. As for speed, I am connected to a 3COM 100Mb/s managed switch stack along with all other users on my LAN and have no timeouts or failures of any kind.
