I asked the same question, and got this answer: ========================================================== I am the "helpful fellow from Belgium". Unfortunately, our Internet firewall does not agree for me to post messages, so I only can use mail or ingoing FTP. That's the reason you haven't seen any message from me on the net. The package was written by Andrew Tridgell, to replicate our Pathworks functionality on several U**x boxes (e.g. RS/6000, HP/UX,...). And it indeed does it. It is an SMB core protocol implementation of a file server. As such, it can be used with LanManager/WfW/Pathworks and the like clients. It offers TCP sessions, but no NetBIOS naming datagram support (which can be easily worked around). I have successfully compiled it under Ultrix and Linux, and it does the job for me at home. The pointer : yaouk.anu.edu.au, /pub/nbserver/server-10.tar.Z. Hope this helps, and please post the pointer. ========================================================== I don't know if posting the name and addr of the person who provided this information would be healthful for their job (or if their employer even cares).
