Samba's Tridge clusters code and crowds

,----[ Quote ]
| Q: How much will the agreement result in the increased interoperability 
|    between Windows and Linux/Unix? 
| 
| tridge: For the sections of the protocols we already implement, Samba already 
|         has quite good interoperability. Where it will make more of a 
|         difference is allowing us to expand into new areas where we 
|         previously lacked features that Windows servers have. For example in 
|         the area of Active Directory replication, and remote indexing.

Interview with Carlos Piana

,----[ Quote ]
| The lawyer for Samba and the Free Software Foundation Europe explains the 
| behind-the-scenes work behind last month's antitrust decision against 
| Microsoft.  
| 
| [...]
| 
| A quite spectacular defence was that about security. Basically it said that, 
| unlike the Internet protocols, those keeping together a Microsoft work group 
| network were so conceived that the all the servers acted as if they were a 
| single distributed entity. In other words they were "tightly coupled", 
| closely knitted together so that any intrusion from the outside, a drop-in 
| replacement pretending to be a Microsoft Windows server could cause 
| irreparable harm and all sort of nefarious problems. Besides, disclosing the 
| specifications of their protocols would have required a hardening of the 
| protocols, in order to make them resistant to malware attack or simply of 
| badly designed third-party software which could have compromised the whole 
| infrastructure.
