These have been invaluable in getting the details of the - implementation right. They will become even more important as we move - towards a Lanman 2.1 compliant server. Lee has provided very - useful advice on several aspects of the server. - Lee has also provided me with copies of Windows NTAS 3.1, Visual C - and a developers CD-ROM. Being able to run NT at home is a - great help. - - Charles has helped out in numerous ways with the provision of SMB - specifications and helpful advice. He has been following the - discussion of Samba on the mailing list and has stepped in - regularly to clarify points and to offer help. - - Dan has put me in touch with NT developers to help sort out bugs and - compatability issues. He has also supplied me with a copy of the - NT browsing spec, which will help a lot in the development of the - Samba browser code. - - Paul was responsible for Microsoft paying my flight to Seattle for the - first CIFS conference (see http://samba.org/cifs) and has been - generally helpful and cooperative as the SMB community moves towards - an Internet-ready specification. Isaac has regularly provided help on - the behaviour of NT networks. - -Bruce Perens (bruce@pixar.com) - - In appreciation of his effort on Samba we have sent Andrew copies of - various Pixar computer-graphics software products. Pixar is best known - for its "Renderman" product, the 3-D renderer used by ILM to make special - effects for "Terminator II" and "Jurassic Park". We won the first Oscar - given to a computer graphic animated feature for our short film "Tin Toy". - Our retail products "Typestry" and "Showplace", incorporate the same - renderer used on the films, and are available on Windows and the - Macintosh. - - - -Henry Lee (hyl@microplex.co) - - Henry sent me a M202 ethernet print server, making my little lan - one of the few home networks to have it's own print server! - - ``Microplex Systems Ltd. is a manufacturer of local and wide area - network communications equipment based in beautiful Vancouver, British - Columbia, Canada. Microplex's first products were synchronous wide - area network devices used in the mainframe communication networks. In - August 1991 Microplex introduced its first LAN product, the M200 print - server, the first high performance print server under US$1,000.'' - - -Tom Haapanen (tomh@metrics.com) - - Tom sent me two 16 bit SMC ethernet cards to replace my ancient 8 - bit ones. The performance is much better! - - Software Metrics Inc. is a small custom software development and - consulting firm located in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We work - with a variety of environments (such as Windows, Windows NT and - Unix), tools and application areas, and can provide assistance for - development work ranging from a few days to to multiple man-year - projects. You can find more information at http://www.metrics.com/. - - -Steve Kennedy (steve@gbnet.net) - - Steve sent me 16Mb of ram so that I could install/test - NT3.5. I previous had only 8Mb ram in my test machine, which - wasn't enough to install a properly functioning copy of - NTAS. Being able to directly test NT3.5 allowed me to solve - several long standing NT<->Samba problems. Thanks Steve! - -John Terpstra (jht@aquasoft.com.au) - - Aquasoft are a specialist consulting company whose Samba-using - customers span the world. - - Aquasoft have been avid supporters of the Samba project. As a - token of appreciation Aquasoft have donated a 486DX2/66 PC with - a 540MB EIDE drive and 20MB RAM. - - John has helped to isolate quite a few little glitches over time - and has managed to implement some very interesting installations - of Samba. - - The donation of the new PC will make it possible to more fully - diagnose and observe the behaviour of Samba in conjuction with - other SMB protocol utilising systems. - - -Timothy F. Sipples (tsipple@vnet.IBM.COM) -Steve Withers (swithers@vnet.IBM.COM) - - Tim and Steve from IBM organised a copy of the OS/2 developers - connection CD set for me, and gave lots of help in getting - OS/2 Warp installed. I hope this will allow me to finally fix - up those annoying OS/2 related Samba bugs that I have been - receiving reports of. - -Keith Wilkins (wilki1k@nectech.co.uk) - - Keith from NEC in England very generously supplied a PC to - Luke Leighton to help with his nmbd development work. At the - same time Keith offered to help me with some new hardware, and - he sent me a pentium motherboard with 32MB of ram - onboard. This was very helpful as it allowed me to upgrade - my aging server to be a very powerful system. Thanks! - - |
