In my previous job at Brunel University, we used Samba to support users over 4 sites with around 4,000 desktops. This was using Samba to provide File services only, as we used Windows LPR support and NISgina for authentication.
I wrote a paper on this in 1999 - see: http://www.brunel.ac.uk/~peter/samba/ and in case the University ever delete my home directory (with some extra bits): http://www.btinternet.com/~p.polkinghorne/samba/index.html In summary we supplied both applications and home directories using Sun servers (Ultra1s in the main) to WindowsNT clients. A typical Sun was supporting upto 200 clients with the same sort of load as that number of NFS clients (as we previously used SunNFS on Windows 3.11). -- Peter Polkinghorne, IT Manager Kingsford Stacey Blackwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] 14 Old Square, Lincoln's Inn (44) 020 7447 1200 London WC2A 3UB A list of names of the partners is open to inspection at the above address. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
