Samba is a cross-platform triumph: it turns a Unix or Linux system into
a file and print server for Microsoft Windows network clients.This book
describes all the options for Samba's configuration file in
quick-reference format. It also contains command-line options and
related information on the use of the Samba daemons (smbd, nmbd, and
winbindd) and the utilities in the Samba distribution.
The current edition covers Samba 2.x and the most important features of
3.0, which was under development as this book went to print. New options
pertain to Samba's acting as a primary domain controller and as a domain
member server, its support for the use of Windows NT/2000/XP
authentication and filesystem security on the host Unix system, and
access to shared files and printers from Unix clients.
System administrators who are familiar with Samba and want a handy
reminder of how to administer it without the bulk of a full-sized book
will find this pocket reference invaluable.
