                        REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION
                             on creating
                          comp.protocols.smb


RATIONALE
    There is currently no Usenet newsgroup for discussions about the use
    of the SMB networking protocol, or for discussions about SMB-based
    software packages.  This protocol is increasing in popularity and
    deserves a proper home.

    The SMB protocol is used by software such as Microsoft LAN Manager,
    IBM LAN Server, Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT and the upcoming
    new version of Windows, "Chicago."  It provides services for name
    services, disk sharing, printer sharing and browsing.  It can run on
    top of Netbeui, IPX/SPX, and, more importantly, TCP/IP, making it a
    versatile protocol with capabilities exceeding those of NFS.

    There is currently available a free (using the GNU Public License)
    implementation of and SMB server and client, Samba, developed by 
    Andrew Tridgell at the Australian National University in Canberra,
    Australia.  With the added availability of the free TCP/IP protocol
    stack (for Windows) and client software (for MS-DOS and OS/2) from
    Microsoft, SMB becomes a versatile yet inexpensive alternative to NFS
    for Unix/Windows/MS-DOS internetworking.

    There is now in existence a mailing list for Samba and SMB discussions,
    hosted at the Australian National University.  This mailing list has
    been growing in both membership and traffic, and the time has come to
    make the transition into a newsgroup.  Currently the mailing list has
    over 400 subscribers (not including those served by remote mail
    exploders), with increasingly heavy traffic.  The Samba ftp site also
    gets 200-400 connections per week.

PROPOSED CHARTER
    comp.protocols.smb (unmoderated)
        comp.protocols.smb is for discussions about the use of the SMB
        protocol, its applications and compatability, and for the
        discussions about SMB-based server and client software, such
        as Samba.

DISCUSSION AND VOTING
    The discussion period lasts for 21 days from the date in the header
    of this article.  All discussion should take place in news.groups.
    The group name in this proposal is subject to change, and if
    necessary, a second, revised RFD will be posted prior to the end
    of the discussion period.

    A CFV (Call for Votes) will be posted after the end of the discussion
    period.  The vote will be run by a neutral third party.

    This RFD attempts to fully comply with Usenet newsgroup creation
    guidelines set in "How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup". Please
    refer to this document if you have questions about the process.

After this CFV appears on news.announce.newgroups it will be sent to

CHARTER

comp.protocols.smb is for discussions about the use of the SMB
protocol, its applications and compatability, and for the discussions
about SMB-based server and client software, such as Samba.

There is currently no Usenet newsgroup for discussions about the use
of the SMB networking protocol, or for discussions about SMB-based

top of Netbeui, IPX/SPX, and, more importantly, TCP/IP, making it a
versatile protocol with capabilities exceeding those of NFS.

It has been argued that SMB is not a protocol; however, the official
SMB specifications (available by FTP from ftp.microsoft.com) call it
"SMB FILE SHARING PROTOCOL".  This certainly makes it as much of a
protocol as, say, NFS (in comp.protocols.nfs).

There is currently available a free (using the GNU Public License)
implementation of and SMB server and client, Samba, developed by
Andrew Tridgell at the Australian National University in Canberra,
Australia.  With the added availability of the free TCP/IP protocol

mailing list has over 400 subscribers (not including those served by
remote mail exploders), with increasingly heavy traffic.  The Samba
ftp site also gets 200-400 connections per week.

While Samba is expected to be the most popular topic of discussion,
all other SMB-related discussions will also be welcome.
