Linux file server in Windows & Macintosh environment
Hi everyone, I configured Samba on my Linux file server, and it works just fine for Windows clients. But I have also 2 Macintosh clients in my network, and I don't know what to do for them... Does the samba package allow to communicate with Mac too, or do I need another package? Which one?

Fabien, Supposedly Linux will support the Appletalk protocol, so you could try that route. Another option would be to check out Dave which is an SMB client for the Macintosh http://www.thursby.com . Of course it is not open source software and there is a cost. Of course if you are running OS X then there are some other options native to the OS.

Install netatalk and your Linux machine will show up in the Chooser. Netatalk can do both file and printer sharing, too, which means you can do neat things like use a parallel-port printer from an iMac. -- Stephen RyanDebian Linux 3.0 Technology Coordinator Center for Educational Outcomes at Dartmouth College -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Which one? Macs running Jaguar can see windows shares, so presumably they'll have no problem connecting to a samba server. I don't know about other Mac OSes though.

Re: Linux file server in Windows & Macintosh environment
Look in to netatalk. Free, open source, provides AppleShare file and print services. It can be either an AppleTalk server or an AppleShare IP server. Setting up TCP/IP-only is a lot easier than setting up AppleTalk, if your Macs can use it (I think it's standard on Mac OS 8.5 and newer, but I could be wrong) that's the way to go. Of course, OS X is a lot easier since it's chock full of UNIXy goodness... And I think it actually ships with the necessary client software for mounting your existing Samba shares.
