Product Description:

Samba is a Unix type server, currently included in MacOSX, which shares files using the CIFS/SMB protocol. This is the standard file-sharing protocol used by Windows. By sharing your files with Samba they can be accessed by Windows or/and other Unix-like computers in your network. This program allows you to share othere directories then the 'Home'-folders and make those directories available to guest users. You can also use this package to share your printers with Windows users.

Samba Sharing is not meant to access windows computers. OS X 10.2 has features for this itself. You can also use the shareware product Sharity from Objective Development to access the Windows-network.

As an alternative to this package you could use DAVE from Thursby Inc. But DAVE is not for free, so I release this package for all those people who like to share files with others in their Windows-network, but do not want to pay for a commercial application.

What's new in this version:

This is a Beta. Although it has been tested, errors can and probably will occur when you use this. But I have received so many requests about an updated version of SSP for Jaguar that I'd thought I would release what I have now.

Fixed a rare problem that made your machine unbootable. If this still happens I would very much like to be informed.

Made printers available for guest users.

Some spellingerrors were corrected.

If you had made changes to the original Apple Samba config, then this config will be saved as backup.sscf

This is a quick fix of the long awaited SSP 2.0 to work with 10.2. If you run 10.2 you will need to use SSP 2.0.

SSP is no longer maintained - Version: 2.5.0b3, 5/4/2003 04:21AM PST

Because of the Windows Filesharing support added in MacOSX 10.2 and the upcoming Windows Printersharing support rumoured to be added to MacOSX 10.3 and besides that lack of community support, this project is no longer maintained. I'm working on VLC media player now. If anyone wants to continue with this, it's opensource, so go right ahead.

this for about a year and it's been absolutely wonderful, but what's with the 3.0b version of samba that was released today?

Extra. No problem… - Version: 2.5.0b3, 3/26/2003 08:08AM PST

so far. Definitely missing from default OS X Windows File Sharing.
