A company called Syntax makes a Solaris (and other UNIX platforms)
product which does
SMB, Novell, and Apple Talk. It is a bit pricey however. We use it for
the Novell emulation.
As we use DFS we found that their early DFS/DCE integration was not what
we wanted. Initially there
were very poor tools for mass administration, pretty good webtools but
no good way to handle 1000's of
users in batch. I understand that things have improved in those areas.
