1. What is Samba?

- -

- -

-

See the -meta FAQ introduction if you don't have any idea what Samba does.

-

Samba has many features that are not supported in other CIFS and SMB -implementations, all of which are commercial. It approaches some -problems from a different angle.

-

Some of its features include: -

-

-

Look at the -manual pages included with the package for a full list of -features. The components of the suite are (in summary):

-

-

- -
smbd

the SMB server. This handles actual connections from clients, -doing all the interfacing with the -authentication database for file, permission and username work.

- -
nmbd

the NetBIOS name server, which helps clients locate servers, -maintaining the -authentication database doing the browsing work and managing -domains as this capability is being built into Samba.

- -
smbclient

the scriptable commandline SMB client program. -Useful for automated work, printer filters and testing purposes. It is -more CIFS-compliant than most commercial implementations. Note that this -is not a filesystem. The Samba team does not supply a network filesystem -driver, although the smbfs filesystem for Linux is derived from -smbclient code.

- -
smbrun

a little 'glue' program to help the server run -external programs.

- -
testprns

a program to test server access to printers

- -
testparms

a program to test the Samba configuration file -for correctness

- -
smb.conf

the Samba configuration file

- -
examples

many examples have been put together for the different -operating systems that Samba supports.

- -
Documentation!

DON'T neglect to read it - you will save a great -deal of time!
