I asked the same question, and got this answer:

==========================================================
I am the "helpful fellow from Belgium". Unfortunately, our Internet
firewall does not agree for me to post messages, so I only can use mail
or ingoing FTP. That's the reason you haven't seen any message from me
on the net.

The package was written by Andrew Tridgell, to replicate our Pathworks
functionality on several U**x boxes (e.g. RS/6000, HP/UX,...). And it
indeed does it. It is an SMB core protocol implementation of a file
server. As such, it can be used with LanManager/WfW/Pathworks and the like
clients.

It offers TCP sessions, but no NetBIOS naming datagram support (which can
be easily worked around).

I have successfully compiled it under Ultrix and Linux, and it does the
job for me at home.

The pointer : yaouk.anu.edu.au, /pub/nbserver/server-10.tar.Z.

Hope this helps, and please post the pointer.

==========================================================

I don't know if posting the name and addr of the person who provided
this information would be healthful for their job (or if their employer
even cares).
