clearcase and samba

[Schreiber Martin]

hello everybody !!

clearcase and samba are working great together. there is really no problem
at all.
we run that at our company with more than 200 developers, but some
preconditions must be met.

First of all , do you use the nt-client for ccase version.321 ?.
If that is true , the only important thing is to setup corerectly "case
preserving"
start cleaecase homebase, go to administration ->controlpanel->MVFS

if you want to mount directly from win98(95) or nt with explorer you can
mount /view/$view
if the view-server process on unix is already started. You can do this
manually on unix
or you can let do this via preexec-scripts by samba.It is mandatory to the
following
example that loginname=viewname, I think you can live with that.

fragment of smb.conf
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------
[views]
preexec = ksh -c "/usr/atria/bin/cleartool setview %u"&
path = /view
read only = no
postexec = ksh -c "/usr/atria/bin/cleartool endview %u"

in the global section of smb.conf, it is important to set
preserve case = true     !!!!
hope, this helps
