Thinking outside the box here:
1) Install a VM in the Mac user(s) computer and run a window guest OS in
the VM, Then the Mac users could access the CentOS samba share just like
all the other windows users.
That possibility was discussed. Not sure if the machine in question has the
guts to work well under that load, but we might try it.
2) Have the Mac OS X user(s) access the shares using NFS. OS X is a
variant of the UNIX OS. Most NIX like OS(s) share files over NFS. Both
samba clients, (eg Windows), and NFS clients, (eg OS X, Linus, and UNIX)
can access the share simultaneously with no problem. Do a search on
setting up a CentOS NFS server and setting up a Mac OS X NFS client.
NFS must be running on both the client and the server.
This needs to be the same share on the same file server that everybody in
the domain accesses. That doesn't sound like what I need.
3 Move the info to a CentOS Apache Web Server. Have the info in a web
directory protected by a .htaccess password. Then just about anyone could
access the info with the .htaccess password, regardless of their computer
or OS type.
People don't like having to enter passwords all the time. Another reason
for using a domain.
Is it possible for a Mac to access a Windows RDP server? I have one of
those set up. I could give the user access to that, from which he can get
to the /Public share on SPOCK.
Thank you very much for sticking with this.
