Samba 3.0.25b-apple in detail – What’s the differece to the normal version

[f0rd42]

Hi there

I just started a study on apple’s CIFS implementation. Basically this idea was driven by the fact that apple’s cifs implementation seems to be not supported by the mayor WAN Optimization companies (e.g. Riverbed).
As Apple’s Version is based on Samba 3.0.25b but with a “-apple” at the end, I really ask myself the question, what Steve’s Team has changed so that it seems to be much more different from the standard Samba than anything else.

Thanks so far

Hi Andre,

I run the product line at Silver Peak Systems (http://www.silver-peak.com) and I stumbled across this post. I just wanted to point out that Silver Peak has supported (accelerated) Apple’s CIFS implementation since the inception of our product approximately 5 years ago. Please contact me or anyone else at Silver Peak for addtional details.
