Which version are you running? Have you tried the OS/2 samba server?

It is, but one downer I found - as implied by my questions above - is that
the server is somewhat broken under OS/2 and needs to be restarted on each
connect (seems like the fork() doesn't). IIRC, it could not be set up to
run under inetd, which would have solved that problem nicely. The client,
however, works great.

I'm curious to find out if that problem has yet been fixed since I haven't
hunted around for a newer version for a while. This was 1.93.

It'd be *very* nice of there was a samba client based IFS, too.
