Integrate UNIX and Windows 2000 using Windows Services for UNIX 3.0

This is a good overview; I hope to see seperate articles for each sub topic in here in the near future that go into each in a bit more depth. That'd be great.

How does this relate to Cigwyn?

Cranky 29th Dec 2002

It would seem as though this software and Cigwyn were about the same. What am I missing here?

I would also like to compliment the author on a good article.

It sure looks like cygwin to me. I've been using it for years. I sure would like to know how they acquired it. Didn't Redhat own cygwin? Anyhow, maybe it will help someone. Personally I use SAMBA for my Unix - Windows interoperablility.

Client for NFS Vs Samba server

pmrozari 31st Mar 2003

1. If I hv a linux server which I want to use as a file server and my Win98 clients hv Client for NFS, can I dispense with Samba server on my Linux server.
2. Do I need to seperately purchase Client for NFS or is it free if I hv the required Win2KCALs for the client machines.
3. A very useful article and a must read for IT professionals with Win2k background desiring to venture into the world of Unix / Linux

NIS and Samba

jobeard 22nd Jul 2003

NIS has been around for a LONG time. Samba is the standard for connectivity to dissimilar platforms.
MS has always made bundles of $$$ by renaming existing protocols/apis, packaging them as NEW products, and dubbing the MS users into paying for it. What a SHAME! Even Apple with nye unto zip market share has enough honesty to implement and call it SAMBA. Shame on you B.G. sad
