for example: is xserve running the original samba package with an apple frontend? or is it all just what we know as appleshare ip were the mail, smb etc. services are propietary and started out on os 9. for afp it’s ok, but the other components should be the standard unix tools with an apple gui. yes i can run these via darwin but then i can use any pc rackmount with linux or bsd. to administer them optional with apples great gui would be the kick...

Apple is using Samba for their CIFS/SMB support. So yes, at the low levels you are using Samba. Apple is wrapping their GUI around the open source package to provide this support. They do the same with Apache and anything else you see in the Darwin OS distribution with a standard conf file text configuration but an Aqua interface for OS X. It's no big deal, linux does the same things to various degrees of success with the KDE, Gnome, and generic X windows GUI interfaces. The big difference is that Apple's efforts are far more targeted and consistant than anything I have seen in Linux so far.

for samba: i hope so. on osx client it don’t seem to be the original samba-client...
the mailserver is not sendmail but the appleshare ip mailclient. the worst thing is still afp which disconnect cients all 1-2 hours. when you reconnect you got a new name for the mounted volume like server-1, server-2,... aliases will not work after this... have you tried using nfs serving? is it stable and fast?
