First of all, I don't know how comprehensive of an agreement that Sun has, maybe you can enlighten me to that, you seem to know quite a bit about that. AFAIK, CIFS is not an open standard by any means, isn't that why SAMBA reverse engineered it to begin with? Maybe it is open now, I don't know, but I wouldn't assume that Sun has access to that information. They may, and they may not, I do now know and I would doubt that anyone outside of Sun would know about the agreements Sun has with ms, but please enlighten me. -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
