Abstract

From the Publisher:Samba: Integrating UNIX and Windows, a combination of technical tutorial, reference guide, and how-to manual, contains the depth of knowledge experienced network administrators demand without skipping the information beginners need to get fast results. UNIX administrators new to Windows networking will find the information they need to become Windows networking experts. Those new to UNIX will find the details they need to install and configure Samba correctly and securely.Samba is the tool of choice for providing Windows filesharing and printer services from UNIX and UNIX-like systems. Freely available under the GNU Public License, Samba allows UNIX machines to be seamlessly integrated into a Windows network without installing any additional software on the Windows machines. Used in tandem with Linux or FreeBSD, Samba provides a low-cost alternative to the Windows NT Server. The book also contains a CD-ROM containing version 1.9.17 and 1.9.18alpha versions of the Samba server, a library of useful tools and scripts, the Samba mailing list archives, and all examples discussed in the book.
