Description Samba, the Server Message Block (SMB) server software that makes it relatively easy to integrate Unix or Linux servers into networks of Microsoft Windows workstations, has to date been mostly explained as an afterthought. Most often, it's appeared in the latter chapters of books about Linux. It deserves better, and the authors of Using Samba have delivered exactly that. This book documents Samba 2.0.4 fully (version 2.0.5, source and binary, appears on the companion CD-ROM), focusing on smbd, nmbd, the command-line tools, and Samba's newfound ability to integrate itself securely with Windows NT domains. Though it includes a bit of information on the SMB and Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocols that underlie Samba, the emphasis here is on setting up and configuring software. Explicit sections explain how to install Samba on a Unix/Linux system and how to set up Microsoft clients to communicate with the Samba machine. The authors pay lavish attention to the Samba configuration file, smb.conf, and explain exactly what settings you need to include in it to allow disk shares, network browsing, and integration with Windows domains. A highly useful reference that lists all Samba configuration options (along with their valid values, default values, and explanations) appears in an appendix Other books on Linux Building Embedded Linux Systems, Second Edition Fedora 8 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Bible Learning the vi and Vim Editors Beginning Ubuntu Linux, Third Edition (Beginning from Novice to Professional) Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Bible Essential Linux Device Drivers (Prentice Hall Open Source Software Development Series) Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions Fedora Unleashed, 2008 Edition (8th Edition) (Unleashed) Scalix: Linux Administrator's Guide X Power Tools Ubuntu 7.10 Linux Unleashed, 3rd Edition A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux(R) SUSE Linux Toolbox: 1000 Commands for openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise Ubuntu Linux Toolbox: 1000 Commands for Ubuntu and Debian Power Users Fedora Linux Toolbox: 1000 Commands for Fedora, CentOS and Red Hat Power Users
