It makes it possible for +client machines running Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups to access +files and/or print services on a Unix system. Samba includes an SMB server +to provide LanManager-style file and print services to PCs, a Netbios (RFC10001/1002) +name server, and an FTP-like client application for accessing PC resources +from Unix. </P> + +<P>To make Samba work you'll need to configure your server host to run +<B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> whenever you connect to a certain Internet +port from the client machine. <B>Smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> can be started +either as daemons or from inetd.</P> + +<P>By default <B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> are started as daemons by the +file <I>/etc/init.d/samba</I> in conjunction with the chkconfig variable +samba being set to on. If you set chkconfig samba off then the deamons +will not be automatically started on reboot. In this case you must type +the following at a shell prompt to start samba after a reboot: </P> + +<PRE><B> chkconfig samba on + /etc/init.d/samba start</B> +</PRE> + +<P>If you make changes to your configuration files, <B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> +may be restarted by typing the following at a shell prompt: </P> + +<PRE><B> /etc/init.d/samba start</B> +</PRE> + +<P><B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> may be killed by typing the following at +a shell prompt: </P> + +<PRE><B> /etc/init.d/samba stop</B> +</PRE> + +<P>To have <B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> started by inetd you can execute +the shell script <I>/usr/samba/inetd.sh</I> to automatically configure +the various files and start the processes. This shell script first kills +any running <B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> processes.

If they have not been modified, +inst removes the old file and installs the new version during software +updates. For configuration files that have been modified, the new version +is installed and the old version is renamed by adding the suffix .O (for +older) to the name. The no-suffix version contains changes that are required +for compatibility with the rest of the newly installed software, that increase +functionality, or that fix bugs. You should use diff(1) or gdiff(1) to +compare the two versions of the files and transfer information that you +recognize as machine or site-specific from the .O version to the no-suffix +version. </P> + +<DL> +<DT><B>/usr/samba/lib/smb.conf</B> </DT> + +<DD>Configuration definitions for the <B>smbd</B> program; the SMB server +process. The default configuration sets up password-based access to home +directories on a machine as well as open access to to all printers and +/tmp. The workgroup is set by default to "workgroup". It is highly +recommended that administrators review the content of this file when installing +Samba for the first time.</DD> + +<DT><B>/usr/samba/printcap</B> </DT> + +<DD>A file that specifies the available printers on a system.
