samba - Nov 2002 - samba server for windows (I know it defeats the object...)

Hi, 

is there a samba server for windows that UNIX samba clients can access.

I know this wouldn't make sense and windows mounting a unix SMB exported
directory would make so much more sense but a colleague swears that a
windows samba server exists and it is proving hard to demonstrate its
absence!

I'm sure he is really talking about an NFS server for windows...

Samba would run under windows, except that we do not currently support
the locking primitives that windows uses.  (This would naturally imply
using cygwin).  In fact, there is rumour that an old version of Samba
had been ported there at one point - it's certainly possible, given the
existence of the OS/2 port.
