Samba and OpenOffice - save file

[Robert F. Thomas]

We have a working cluster of VAX running VMS 6.1, AXP running 7.2, another
running 7.3 and IA64 running 8.2.  Everything works well, although such is
"not supported".  VMS 6.1 can not access ODS-5, otherwise no issues.

We are using the CIFS field test software as well as SAMBA 2.2.8 and 1.9.17.
CIFS works on 7.3 and 8.2.  There are items missing, such as SWAT, and
performance is SAMBA typical on VMS.

Performance wise, 1.9.17 seems to be the fastest, but lacks SWAT and has
several issues due to changes in SMB, etc.

Sincerely,
Robert F. Thomas

Me neither. Indeed the lack of 7.3-2 support is a complete show-stopper
for me as I have a series of turn-key accredited systems locked to
7.3-2. I have no IA64 systems.

So it is no-go for me unless I end up doing a mixed-version cluster with
the sole purpose of running Samba - and I don't even know if a 7.3-2/8.3
cluster will work, not to mention being supported!

Can anyone enlighten me as to exactly which features in 8.3 are
required?

Cheers
