- Console is the GUI. We provide the RPC-based infrastructure for Windows
- administrators to configure Samba using the tools they are used to.</p>
-
- <p>Some of those RPC services were provided a couple of years ago by
- Centeris, now renamed to

- the company Krishna is working for. Thanks for that, we hope there will be
- more contributions to Samba like that from Likewise in the future!</p>

- <li><p>Michael Adam has done great work to make the registry-based configuration
- happen. With Samba 3.2 and even more so with Samba 3.3 you can configure
- everything you can not do via the MMC with your well-known regedit.exe
- from Windows. This very well matches expectations of Windows administrators:
- The normal day-to-day administration is done via the MMC, and when it comes
- down to fine-tuning, you need to dive into the registry.</p>

- <p>For an introduction to the registry configuration, see Michael's <a

- presented at the Linux Kongress 2008, published in the proceedings with ISBN

-
- <li><p>Günther Deschner has developed a gtk-based utility to join a
- domain. Screenshots can be found on <a
- href="http://samba.org/~gd/netdomjoin-gui/">samba.org</a>. This shipped with
- Samba 3.2.0 and can be compiled easily wherever the gtk libraries are
- available. See the <a

- </ul>
-
- <p>We also take issue with Likewise's claim
- that pushing changes upstream into Samba is a challenge.</p>
-
- <p>The Samba project has many corporate contributors
- who have found that working <b>with</b> the Open Source/Free Software
- Community is preferable to developing a parallel
- technology under their sole control. Companies
- such as IBM, HP, Intel, Apple, Red Hat, Novell, Isilon,
- Data Domain, ReadyNAS (now NetGear) and Veritas (now Symantec) have
- worked with the Samba Team to create a shared, compelling file, print
- and authentication service that can be used by
- everyone and is developed as a community of equals.</p>
