I am a very impressed promoter of samba, but some people at the office
would prefer a commercial package. Has anyone had success with a commercial
product for SMB service? Comparison to samba?

Another possability if you want a "commercial" version of Samba, is to
get paid support for Samba from a support/consulting company.
I'm currently compiling a list of companies that can provide
commercial support for Samba. I include below a first draft of the
list.
Note that this list does not carry any endorsement, and I have no
commercial involvement with any of these companies. If anyone objects
to me posting this list to this group then let me know.
Cheers,
Andrew
The Samba Consultants List
==========================
I often get asked about paid support for Samba. I don't have the
time/inclination to do this myself at the moment, so I decided to
compile a list of people who are prepared to install/support Samba.
Being on this list does not imply any sort of endorsement, I just
provide this list in the hope that it will be useful.
If you want to be added to the list, or want your entry modified then
contact me at the address below. I am currently listing them in the
order that I have received them. If it gets too big I may organise it
by region.
