Over on ICO, a new article has been posted with details of some promising improvements in ZETA’s support for SMB, the protocol used for file sharing in Windows networks (also mentioned on OSNews). The improvements are currently undergoing testing and are apparently due – in a large part – to porting the lastest stable version of SAMBA, an Open Source impelementation of the SMB protocol. The IsComputerOn article contains some useful first-hand information from frankps, after he had a chance to put the new software through its paces with a Network Attached Storage device. Aside from reporting that standard operations work without problem, the most promising details mentioned is that video & audio playback works when playing files located on network shares. Attempting that with older versions of SMB support for BeOS was often a quick way to enter Kernel Debugging Land.
