Meinberg LANTIME
Meinberg LANTIME is a standalone NTP time server appliance running a number of integrated services serving highly accurate time for client systems in the attached networks (IPv4 and IPv6). The LANTIME systems allow several different ways of monitoring and configuration, including web based configuration (HTTP/HTTPS), remote console based configuration (Telnet/SSH), and SNMP. This is accompanied with a wide range of alert mechanisms, allowing the administrator to receive alerts like "antenna faulty" or "ntpd lost sync" by e-mail (SMTP), SNMP traps or -- here Samba appears on the scene -- as a winpopup message. For those not sensible enough for a small decent email or popup message, a big network attached display is available as an accessory, displaying error messages in big red characters directly in your office (or, if you need some more motivation, in the office of your boss).
Our time servers are shipped with few parts of the Samba suite installed, following the old Unix system administrators rule to not run a service that is not needed. Samba allows us to offer your SMB compatible clients to request the time with a NET TIME command and enables the LANTIME to send alert popup messages directly to the admins desktop, if desired.
The Meinberg LANTIME systems rely on the power of open source software like Samba, GNU/Linux and NTP and we are very thankful for the very good work the open source community is doing every day.
You can find more information about Meinberg Radio Clocks and the LANTIME time server on our website. Or write mail to info@meinberg.de. We will gladly assist you.

VMware
VMware 2.0 for Linux includes an integrated Samba server for easy file sharing between Linux and Windows operating systems running concurrently on a PC.
VMware for Linux installs as a standard Linux application, then provides the ability to easily install and concurrently run additional guest operating systems, including Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows 2000. A new feature in VMware 2.0 for Linux is a Samba server that is automatically configured as a file server for Windows guest operating systems. VMware users can now simply drag and drop their files between different environments without needing to manually configure Samba on their systems.
The modified Samba server installed by VMware runs over the VMware virtual Ethernet, and the Samba traffic between different operating systems is isolated from actual local area networks. The source code diffs for the changes to Samba are available from VMware here . These changes will be integrated into future Samba releases. VMware has also donated software licenses to members of the Samba development team to help in Samba development.
More information about VMware, and free evaluation copies of VMware 2.0 for Linux are available here .
