<P><FONT SIZE=2>Amen. I know a 15 seat CPA firm that just invested $$$ only to use Winblows 2000 for an open share without any security. Samba would definitely be a viable alternative.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>How about the specialty role of the Samba server?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>At my former job the primary Samba server was used continuously by 200+ folks using a stock Red Hat Kernel. I kept throwing other services on it, and it never missed a beat. The server was running a VALinux modified RedHat 6.2 install. Whatever tweaks VALinux did kept the server up and running much better than the default Red Hat kernel release of 6.2.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Actually, our goals are one in the same. By compiling kernels to run the minimum necessary services and by distributing http, smtp, ftp, file/print services onto separate computers, one minimizes the probability for catastrophic system failure in a corporate environment.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>We could always throw in a little kickstart and g4u into the mix...</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I would rather like to see how to optimize the kernel for a corporate environment. As an example that recently crossed the list: how to configure it for maximum stability in an environment with a massive number of simultaneous connections.</FONT></P>
