JY:

We have been able to able to successfully compile, link and run SAMBA on the
Field Test Release of OpenVMS 8.1 on the HP Intel Itanium system.  There
were some error messages compiling one of the print spooling support
modules, but we don't use that functionality since all of our printers are
network printers.

We made no changes to source or command files.

Based on our usage, the system is fully functional with generally excellent
performance (still much slower than smb networking between windows when
running some applications, but much faster than on Alpha OpenVMS systems).

We control the system using SWAT and have encountered no problems.

Sincerely,
