WOW! This is fantastic (potentially).
Can this be used as a file server to Windows / Linux / Mac clients? I don't need the AD part, but do need the file serving part that would integrate reasonably with a windows setup.
There was a golden period when Samba shipped on Mac, you could run Samba on linux, and consume it on all platforms (Mac / Windows / Linux) pretty easily.
- apetresc 5y agoThat’s still the case? I’m on the latest macOS build and I can still mount my Linux boxes’ Samba shares just fine.
- dr_hooo 5y agoApple switched to a proprietary implementation since a couple of versions (due to licensing IIRC), otherwise essentially yes.
- rektide 5y agothere are 7 condescending, mean, negative posts. ~4 neutral posts. this is one of 2 positive, happy posts, and by far the happiest. you deserve a god damned medal. it's shocking what a bunch of sad sorry sacks there are about. everyone's a critic, conservative & afraid of change, unwilling to see uses. what a terrible crowd here. yes, this is exactly for setting up a file server for Windows/Linux/Mac, without the AD part, without samba. i wish your positivity had a little stronger basis to it, knew a little better what you were excited about, but hey, given the pick of these negative nancies and you, mercy, i'd take your innocence any day.
