------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jul 31 01:46:30 -0700 2006 ------- In business context the collaborative ability is a natural extension to traditional standalone desktop office work (word processing and so on). Today the situation is as simple as following : to share documents, in an heteregoneous environment Linux/Mac/Windows with minimal locking there are 2 solutions : - using smb : it works well with Msoffice AND Openoffice, but it is not what I call a standard, despite the great work of samba team. For remote roaming users (out of the office) accessing a smb server trough various clients is a secure manner is not so simple as smb "needs" many ip ports to be opened. - using dav : supported by apache server, we can set up a common business set of "working group folders", each restricted to authorized user for viewing and modifying documents. This is standard, works gracefully with firewalls, easy to secure by tunneling http in SSH tunnel protected by use of ssh2 keys. Tunneling smb in ssh is possible but only with windows XP and not 9x/NT because XP supports virtual network cards.And I do not want too promote particularly XP in the company. Unfortunately today the support of dav locking is best in...Ms Office. Shortly there are 3 ways to use webdav in windows (2 in 9x/Me/NT and one more in 2k/XP) : --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
