Hi all Just a FYI As per http://news.samba.org/developers/Samba_Team_Blog_3/ New Protocol : SMB2 With Windows 7 Microsoft have introduce a new variant of the CIFS protocol, SMB2. Samba is keeping pace, with a sample implementation of SMB2 which will be released for early adopters to test in Samba 3.5.0. A fully finished production version is expected to be available in Samba 3.6.0. Testing SMB2 in Samba 3.5.0 is as simple as setting : max protocol = SMB2 in the [global] section of your smb.conf. Be warned this is still test code (for example kerberos support is not yet integrated) but should give you a taste of what is to come. Jay On 16 July 2010 18:28, Christopher R.
