One interesting quirk in my trial install was that the Linux server was able to connect to the Win2K server and access and
use the available shares, but the Win2K server was unable to access and use the Linux shared directories. I contacted the
Samba team to make sure that they were aware of the inability of Samba 3.0 to allow two-way use of shared directories.
As Samba 3.0 develops into full-release status, theyre confident this problem will be resolved. The Samba teams also
informed me that theyll add the first-ever upgrade wizards to help users and administrators make the migration from the
old Samba 2.x smb.conf files to the newer Samba 3.0 smb.conf files. You can be sure that TechRepublic will be covering
these wizards as they arrive.
If you are interested in staying on top of the development process of Samba 3.0, the best place to keep apprised of news is
one of the many Samba mailing lists. For more information on where the Samba 3.0 development is heading, visit the Samba
road map.
