File Sharing & Printing Support

[tiger]

Will ReactOS support the MS File Sharing & Printing Service [NetBIOS]. Also, will there be a server version of ReactOS?

Ok I think you just miss it. I guess not a Linux/BSD/Unix user.

All non Linux/BSD/Unix users. This is Samba.

Samba does Netbois on TCP/IP.

Samba-TNG is a server for win32 machine. Still in development and a developer is working on reactos intergation.

As oiaohm mentioned in his reply SAMBA is the Windows Networking file/printer sharing server & client to Linux/Unix this is an opensource effort to make Unix talk to Windows in it's own language, you can find it's project page here: http://www.samba.org/
What is going to be done in a near future is that some guys will port this back to the Wintel (Windows x86) platform.

The ROS team has made contact with the SAMBA-TNG guys who has promised to help in this task. SAMBA-TNG is a free non dependent branch of the SAMBA organization. Tead more about them on this page: http://www.samba-tng.org/
