""If you want to become a member of the team then the first thing you
should do is join the samba-technical mailing list and start contributing to the
development of Samba"
Nice!
An idea for GPL4 based on their idea, "If you want to resell this software
you must first have contributed a piece of GPL4 code officially accepted and
published by FSF"
Would that be too restrictive or counterproductive? I imagine it may not really
be possible to have code accepted at all times, e.g. if the code base is really
small etc. Still, I like their original idea.

A good feature is that you can use the functionality
with GNU/Linux client desktops.

Congratulations to the Samba team. Samba has been a staple
in our company since 2003. The release of Samba 4 should open
it up to more companies.[ Reply to This | # ]

I personally have been waiting for this since I first saw an
exposition at LinuxConf 2006. Is it really the legal fuss
which made it take so long?

SMB services are Windows-centric. The permission system and the file naming
(allowed characters and directory separators) and clashing conventions
("case-invariant") are Windows-specific.
The whole purpose is interfacing to a Windows world and providing infrastructure
for it and absurdly enough, GNU/Linux boxes can often manage this job more
versatilely and resource-efficient than native Windows servers.
And, of course, from a machine administered in a UNIXy fashion. If I had to do
service to Windows boxes, my choice would certainly be Samba, but I am glad that
I don't have to do this.[ Reply to This | # ]

Samba has been one of the greatest FOSS projects, having originally found many
"features" in Microsoft's version - even things that will reboot
Windows remotely by design.
Now after having won an Anti-trust case against Microsoft, raising the money
($14k) to buy the documentation, and having implemented it, Samba has for the
first time (AFAIK) a version that supports Microsoft's latest release of Windows
within the same time frame of release of that version of Windows.
That is, historically, Samba would be at least one version of Windows behind in
their support for SMB/CIFS features that Windows had, and now within 6 months of
Microsoft releasing Windows 8 they have released a fully compatible version.
Congratulations all around to those that made it happen - both technical and
legal.[ Reply to This | # ]

Kudos to the Samba Team! MS has ~48% of the server market(wikip). Many MS
installations use Samba. Wouldn't it be cool if LibreOffice were interoperable
with MS server services?[ Reply to This | # ]

Thanks for the faint praise "not commercially important right now" :-)
but
we're actually pretty commercially important, just a little less visible than we
used to be :-) . We've become part of the infrastructure - as I like to point
out,
go into Frys, or your local geek electronics store - and look at the NAS
servers.
They're all Samba. Every one.
Plus we live inside some big iron too, IBM SONAS is one who is public,
Symantec storage too - but also many others (some newly created 'cloud
gateways' I'm not free to name). So don't write us off just yet :-)
Jeremy Wilson,
Samba Team.[ Reply to This | # ]
