Dave 8.1, 10 users, Mac
DAVE v8.1 is a software solution that enables Macintosh users to participate in Microsoft networks with both file and print sharing services. DAVE is installed on the Macintosh and requires no additional software to be installed on the PCs other than that which comes standard with the operating system offerings from Microsoft. DAVE also supports many third party SMB offerings such as the latest version of Samba running on UNIX platforms. DAVE supports Macintosh OS X 10.5.x (Leopard) and 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) with the latest updates installed. DAVE is provided on a CD and is also available for electronic download.
DAVE performs all communications using the industry standard protocol TCP/IP with Domain Name Services (DNS), and a NetBIOS driver that is fully RFC 1001/1002 compliant. DAVE supports both Windows Internet Name Server (WINS) and all services that are implemented using the Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol. CIFS is an enhanced extension of the desktop cross-platform protocol for distributed file sharing called Server Message Block (SMB). DAVE negotiates dialects with NT LM 0.12. DAVE provides for direct integration with Microsoft’s Services for Macintosh and NTFS by using the same format for storing Apple resource and Finder information on the servers.
