This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the +Common Internet File System (CIFS), LanManager or NetBIOS protocol. + +manpagesection(COMPONENTS) + +The Samba suite is made up of several components. Each component is +described in a separate manual page. It is strongly recommended that +you read the documentation that comes with Samba and the manual pages +of those components that you use. If the manual pages aren't clear +enough then please send a patch to email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). + +startdit() + +dit(bf(smbd)) nl() The bf(smbd) (8) daemon provides the file and print +services to SMB clients, such as Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows +for Workgroups or LanManager. The configuration file for this daemon +is described in bf(smb.conf) (5). + +dit(bf(nmbd)) nl() The bf(nmbd) (8) daemon provides NetBIOS +nameserving and browsing support. The configuration file for this +daemon is described in bf(smb.conf) (5). + +dit(bf(smbclient)) nl() The bf(smbclient) (1) program implements a simple +ftp-like client. This is useful for accessing SMB shares on other +compatible servers (such as Windows NT), and can also be used to allow +a UNIX box to print to a printer attached to any SMB server (such as a +PC running Windows NT). + +dit(bf(testparm)) nl() The bf(testparm) (1) utility allows you to test your +bf(smb.conf) (5) configuration file. + +dit(bf(smbstatus)) nl() The bf(smbstatus) (1) utility allows you to tell +who is currently using the bf(smbd) (8) server. + +dit(bf(nmblookup)) nl() the bf(nmblookup) (1) utility allows NetBIOS +name queries to be made from the UNIX machine. + +enddit() + +manpagesection(AVAILABILITY) + +The Samba software suite is licensed under the GNU Public License +(GPL). A copy of that license should have come with the package in the +file COPYING. You are encouraged to distribute copies of the Samba +suite, but please keep obey the terms of this license. + +The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via anonymous +ftp from samba.anu.edu.au in the directory pub/samba/. It is +also available on several mirror sites worldwide. + +You may also find useful information about Samba on the newsgroup +comp.protocols.smb and the Samba mailing list. Details on how to join +the mailing list are given in the README file that comes with Samba. + +If you have access to a WWW viewer (such as Netscape or Mosaic) then +you will also find lots of useful information, including back issues +of the Samba mailing list, at +url(http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/)(http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/). + +manpagesection(VERSION) + +This man page is current for version 2.0 of Samba + +manpagesection(CONTRIBUTIONS) + +If you wish to contribute to the Samba project, then I suggest you +join the Samba mailing list at email(samba@samba.anu.edu.au). See the +Web page at +url(http://samba.anu.edu.au/listproc)(http://samba.anu.edu.au/listproc) +for details on how to do this. + +If you have patches to submit or bugs to report then you may mail them +directly to email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). Note, however, that due to +the enormous popularity of this package the Samba Team may take some +time to repond to mail. We prefer patches in em(diff -u) format. + +manpagesection(AUTHOR) + +The main author of the Samba suite is Andrew Tridgell. He may be +contacted via e-mail at email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). Samba is +now maintained by a distributed group of people around the world +collectively known as the Samba Team. + +manpagesection(CREDITS) + +Contributors to the project are now too numerous to mention here but +all deserve the thanks of all Samba users. To see a full list, look at +url(ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/change-log)(ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/change-log) +for the pre-CVS changes and at +url(ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/cvs.log)(ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/cvs.log) +for the contributors to Samba post-CVS. CVS is the Open Source source +code control system used by the Samba Team to develop Samba. The +project would have been unmanageable without it. + +In addition, several commercial organisations now help fund the Samba +Team with money and equipment. For details see the Samba Web pages at +url(http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/samba-thanks.html)(http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/samba-thanks.html). + +manpageauthor() + +The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page +sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open +Source software) and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy +Allison. + |
