Hi-
I am new to the list and I hope I am not asking anything dumb - if I am please
point me to the right place to RTFM! I am new to SAMBA and DFS, so my skills
are not in-depth as I'd like.
I am interested in knowing if anyone has used the DFS features of jCIS 0.8 on
IBM's AIX system. I wrote a small application a while ago using jCIS over
SAMBA networks to automate some repetitive and boring file transfer tasks. My
application works like a charm, and I'm interested in putting my code on an
AIX server to do something similar with a DFS system.
What is being done now currently by the unix guys is the 'dce_login' command
is used to log into a DFS cell, and files are manually sent. Would jCIS be
able to automate these kinds of tasks? Are there any changes I'd need to make
in my code written now for SMB? Or is it all transparent and I don't need to
do anything special? I will have access to an AIX system sometime soon and am
wondering if what I want to do is possible, or if I misunderstand the release
notes.
Sorry if it is a basic question, I appreciate your time!
-Derrick
