IT WORKS!! It's very slow, and I still have to work out some authentication issues, but I just successfully attached a file in Outlook 2000. ZEO is storing the file, Zope is serving it, davfs is mounting the whole site as a filesystem, Samba is exporting it, and all Windows has to do is map the SMB share and let Outlook access it. Here's what I have:
RedHat 7.2 (2.4.9 kernel), davfs 0.2.3, Samba 2.2.1, Zope 2.5.0, ZEO 1.0b5. On the client side, Win2000SP2, Office2000SP2. For those that are interested, WebDrive on the client did the job much better than this server setup, but I'm still doubtful that they'll let me insist on a client-side solution. I still may not win the fight, but at least I now have more ammunition.
Thank you so much to all who chimed in.
Interesting. But what is the benefit? Do you have a messaging product which access the outlook data? If you have, I would be interested in the concept and maybe in the source if you want to share it. But even if you have such a product, the access to the outlook data via an external file which gets served with samba should be quicker. Nevetheless a cool thing thomas
