At Standard and Poor's we use Samba all over the place to connect to Solaris 
servers, from NT and Win 9x.  It has worked great.  I did not set things up 
(we have a department of System Administrators), but the samba daemons have 
been rock solid for almost 2 years.

I have suggested on several occasions that we migrate to Linux from Solaris.  
We have constant problems with our Solaris hardware.  Unfortunately, S&P is 
an enormous company (~8000 employees) and we are mired in political red-tape, 
so using Linux "in production" has been a big problem.  No one here has the 
authority (or balls) to call the shot to install Linux.  Until then, we'll 
just keep on lining Scott McNealy's pockets.

Later.
