Feature: Athena machines can access Windows file shares using a Kerberos-enabled smbclient.
Current solution: The athena-samba package contains a build of the entire Samba suite (3.0.2a), built with Kerberos.
Planned solution: Ensure that the native smbclient package is installed, and confirm that it is Kerberos-enabled and can access shares in the win.mit.edu domain.
Status: Done.

Feature: Athena machines can serve file shares to SMB clients, using a Kerberos-enabled Samba server which is pre-configured for the win.mit.edu realm.
Current solution: The athena-samba package contains a build of the entire Samba suite (3.0.2a), built with Kerberos, along with a boot script and some configuration files for the Samba server.
Planned solution: Ensure that the native smbclient package is installed. A new package debathena-smbclient-config will point it at Desupport this; the Samba server package will not be installed automatically (but ideally we would provide documentation on how to join a Samba server machine to the win.mit.edu domain).
Status: Config packages still needs to be done.Milestone: Feature Complete (one day)Done.
