I don't get it. They give it a con because of:
"Tricky to configure; expensive maintenance."
But in the article:
"Although Samba is free, SGI charges $1,500 for a maintenance contract that
ensures enterprise-level support for any SGI-Samba installation. *This is a
low price when compared with NetWare and NT,*" (Emph mine).
What gives?

Cheers,

Samba Team.
PS. Full disclaimer here, the review is of Samba on a
SGI Origin 200, and I work for SGI.
