I think what Boaz was talking about here was is the fact that the Samba team
(tridge) are talking about porting Samba to the Windows environment for ROS.
My (limited) understanding of this is it would be a 'real' emulation of
cifs/netbt, not samba running in a unix environment via POSIX.
Speak to Steven Edwards or KJK for more info as they were talking to Tridge.

2. I have not
been to Wineconf-2005, but from the summery what I could
see is that one of the key notes was the Samba team. Now ReactOS is
going to use Samba right?
No. ReactOS will not use Samba anymore than we use WINE, which is to
say, we might borrow bits of code here and there, but as a whole, the
project is radically different than what we need. Samba is a server
that runs on Linux and emulates a lanman/cifs/whatever MS is calling it
these days server. What ReactOS would need is a real implementation of
the lanman server on an NT kernel, not a hacked emulation on top of posix.
