My company intends to install a cluster of linux computers in order to set up a high availability server. This cluster's primary goal would be to replace a Windows NT server which is PDC and file server. Other applications would be intranet server or database server, but I'm not worried about these types of applications. Is it possible to ask Failsafe to run samba on one node of the cluster, and if this node goes down, to run samba on another node, faking IP address of the old node or something like that...?

Yes, it is possible. SGI sells Samba plugins as a part of it's FailSafe File Server products (both IRIX and Linux). Open sourcing the plugins for open-source products (samba, apache, etc) is on our todo list, but we are waiting for our legal dept... -- Scott Henry / http://hoshi.engr.sgi.com/ My FAQ
