Re: [Linux-decnet-user] Sorry, how do I configure node_address

[J M <joh...@ya...>]

If I have decnet, does this mean I can get a file from
the "real" dec machine and serve it to a client
through samba?

The whole reason for getting decnet was because samba
2.2.7 never worked properly on the alphas.

I thought if I had decnet, then I could get to the
files on the dec machine and use the samba on linux to
serve those files to an SMB (winnt) machine.

Will it work for that?
