It will try to remain as portable as possible. 40Contact Brian.Onn@Canada.Sun.COM (Brian Onn) Unfortunately it died, and 41although a lot of people have expressed interest nobody has come forward 42to do it. The Novell port (see Samba web pages) includes NetBEUI 43functionality in a proprietrary library which should still be helpful as 44we have the interfaces. Alan Cox (a.cox@li.org) has the information 45required to write the state machine if someone is going to do the work. 46 47Status last updated 2nd October 1996 48======================================================================== 49 50======================================================================== 51Smbfs 52 53A mountable smb filesystem for Linux using the userfs userspace filesystem 54 55Contact lendecke@namu01.gwdg.de (Volker Lendecke) 56 57This works really well, and is measurably more efficient than commercial 58client software.
