[Samba] Samba as IIS Clusters common data store
We are migrating three IIS5 servers, to an IIS6 Cluster and are wanting to use a Samba Server as the common data store. The IIS servers will be hosting ~100 Websites, so each site will be an individual share on the Samba server(As we want to enforce quotas for each site). I'm assuming each Site in IIS will utilise UNC path for the Site Location, and use Connect As option for the Samba Share. I would really appreciate feedback from people already doing something similar to this... - Is the above considered a normal setup when using Samba as the common data store? - Should we be utilising any special mount options to ensure security/performance? Debian Testing Samba 3.0.4-5 Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

[Samba] Samba as NAS (Serving Win+Linux)
I am in the process of setting up a file server to serve both Linux+Windows boxes (Users Maildirs(qmail), WebSites(With quotas), etc..) Is there any reasons one would not just run Samba? (Probably get a biased opinion on this list!) - I have never used NFS, but have been told it was a total bandwidth whore.. Would also appreciate anyones experiences(Difficulty in setting up, scalability etc) with using either LDAP, Kerberos or (maybe?) Radius for auth - As I've heard NIS has security issues.. Thanks in advance. Regards, MB -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
