This protocol is sometimes also referred to +as the LanManager or Netbios protocol. + +.SH 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 me a patch! + +The smbd(8) daemon provides the file and print services to SMB clents, +such as Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT or LanManager. The +configuration file for this daemon is described in smb.conf(5). + +The nmbd(8) daemon provides Netbios nameserving and browsing +support. It can also be run interactively to query other name service +daemons. + +The smbclient(1) program implements a simple ftp-like client. This is +useful for accessing SMB shares on other compatible servers (such as +WfWg), 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 WfWg). + +The testparm(1) utility allows you to test your smb.conf(5) +configuration file. + +The smbstatus(1) utility allows you to tell who is currently using the +smbd(8) server. + +.SH AVAILABILITY + +The Samba software suite is licensed under the Gnu Public License. A +copy of that license should have come with the package. You are +encouraged to distribute copies of the Samba suite, but please keep it +intact. + +The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via anonymous +ftp from nimbus.anu.edu.au in the directory pub/tridge/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 http://lake.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/ + +.SH AUTHOR + +The main author of the Samba suite is Andrew Tridgell. He may be +contacted via e-mail at samba-bugs@anu.edu.au. + +There have also been an enourmous number of contributors to Samba from +all over the world. A partial list of these contributors is included +in the CREDITS section below. The list is, however, badly out of +date. More up to date info may be obtained from the change-log that +comes with the Samba source code. + +.SH CONTRIBUTIONS + +If you wish to contribute to the Samba project, then I suggest you +join the Samba mailing list. + +If you have patches to submit or bugs to report then you may mail them +directly to samba-bugs@anu.edu.au. Note, however, that due to the +enourmous popularity of this package I may take some time to repond to +mail. I prefer patches in "diff -u" format. + +.SH CREDITS + +Contributors to the project are (in alphabetical order by email address): + +(NOTE: This list is very out of date) + + Adams, Graham + (gadams@ddrive.demon.co.uk) + Allison, Jeremy + (jeremy@netcom.com) + Andrus, Ross + (ross@augie.insci.com) + Auer, Karl + (Karl.Auer@anu.edu.au) + Bogstad, Bill + (bogstad@cs.jhu.edu) + Boreham, Bryan + (Bryan@alex.com) + Boreham, David + (davidb@ndl.co.uk) + Butler, Michael + (imb@asstdc.scgt.oz.au) + ??? + (charlie@edina.demon.co.uk) + Chua, Michael + (lpc@solomon.technet.sg) + Cochran, Marc + (mcochran@wellfleet.com) + Dey, Martin N + (mnd@netmgrs.co.uk) + Errath, Maximilian + (errath@balu.kfunigraz.ac.at) + Fisher, Lee + (leefi@microsoft.com) + Foderaro, Sean + (jkf@frisky.Franz.COM) + Greer, Brad + (brad@cac.washington.edu) + Griffith, Michael A + (grif@cs.ucr.edu) + Grosen, Mark + (MDGrosen@spectron.COM) + ???? + (gunjkoa@dep.sa.gov.au) + Haapanen, Tom + (tomh@metrics.com) + Hench, Mike + (hench@cae.uwm.edu) + Horstman, Mark A + (mh2620@sarek.sbc.com) + Hudson, Tim + (tim.hudson@gslmail.mincom.oz.au) + Hulthen, Erik Magnus + (magnus@axiom.se) + ??? + (imb@asstdc.scgt.oz.au) + Iversen, Per Steinar + (iversen@dsfys1.fi.uib.no) + Kaara, Pasi + (ppk@atk.tpo.fi) + Karman, Merik + (merik@blackadder.dsh.oz.au) + Kiff, Martin + (mgk@newton.npl.co.uk) + Kiick, Chris + (cjkiick@flinx.b11.ingr.com) + Kukulies, Christoph + (kuku@acds.physik.rwth-aachen.de) + ??? + (lance@fox.com) + Lendecke, Volker + (lendecke@namu01.gwdg.de) + ??? + (lonnie@itg.ti.com) + Mahoney, Paul Thomas + (ptm@xact1.xact.com) + Mauelshagen, Heinz + (mauelsha@ez.da.telekom.de) + Merrick, Barry G + (bgm@atml.co.uk) + Mol, Marcel + (marcel@fanout.et.tudeflt.nl) + ??? + (njw@cpsg.com.au) + ??? + (noses@oink.rhein.de) + Owens, John + (john@micros.com) + Pierson, Jacques + (pierson@ketje.enet.dec.com) + Powell, Mark + (mark@scot1.ucsalf.ac.uk) + Reiz, Steven + (sreiz@aie.nl) + Schlaeger, Joerg + (joergs@toppoint.de) + S{rkel{, Vesa + (vesku@rankki.kcl.fi) + Tridgell, Andrew + (samba-bugs@anu.edu.au) + Troyer, Dean + (troyer@saifr00.ateng.az.honeywell.com) + Wakelin, Ross + (rossw@march.co.uk) + Wessels, Stefan + (SWESSELS@dos-lan.cs.up.ac.za) + Young, Ian A + (iay@threel.co.uk) + van der Zwan, Paul + (paulzn@olivetti.nl) + -- cgit
