These Microsoft people have been very helpful and supportive of
|
|
the development of Samba over some years.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
compatibility 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.
|
|
|
|
Paul was responsible for Microsoft paying my flight to Seattle for the
|
|
first CIFS conference (see https://www.samba.org/cifs) and has been
|
|
generally helpful and cooperative as the SMB community moves towards
|
|
an Internet-ready specification. Isaac has regularly provided help on
|
|
the behaviour of NT networks.

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!

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 specialist 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 conjunction with
|
|
other SMB protocol utilising systems.

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.

Keith Wilkins (wilki1k@nectech.co.uk)
|
|
|
|
Keith from NEC in England very generously supplied a PC to
|
|
Luke Leighton to help with his nmbd development work. At the
|
|
same time Keith offered to help me with some new hardware, and
|
|
he sent me a pentium motherboard with 32MB of ram
|
|
onboard. This was very helpful as it allowed me to upgrade
|
|
my aging server to be a very powerful system. Thanks!
