This protocol is sometimes + also referred to as the Common Internet File System (CIFS), + LanManager or NetBIOS protocol. + + + + smbd + The smbd + 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 smb.conf + + + + + nmbd + The nmbd + daemon provides NetBIOS nameserving and browsing + support. The configuration file for this daemon + is described in smb.conf + + + + + smbclient + The smbclient + 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). + + + + + testparm + The testparm + utility is a simple syntax checker for Samba's + smb.confconfiguration file. + + + + + testprns + The testprns + utility supports testing printer names defined + in your printcap> file used + by Samba. + + + + + smbstatus + The smbstatus + tool provides access to information about the + current connections to smbd. + + + + + nmblookup + The nmblookup + tools allows NetBIOS name queries to be made + from a UNIX host. + + + + + make_smbcodepage + The make_smbcodepage + utility provides a means of creating SMB code page + definition files for your smbd server. + + + + + smbpasswd + The smbpasswd + command is a tool for changing LanMan and Windows NT + password hashes on Samba and Windows NT servers. + + + + + + + + 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 or + bug report to + samba@samba.org + + + + + + + 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 obey the terms of this license. + + The latest version of the Samba suite can be + obtained via anonymous ftp from samba.org 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.protocol.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://lists.samba.org. + + + + VERSION + + This man page is correct for version 2.2 of the + Samba suite. + + + + CONTRIBUTIONS + + If you wish to contribute to the Samba project, + then I suggest you join the Samba mailing list at + http://lists.samba.org. + + + If you have patches to submit or bugs to report + then you may mail them directly to samba-patches@samba.org. + Note, however, that due to the enormous popularity of this + package the Samba Team may take some time to respond to mail. We + prefer patches in diff -u format. + + + + CONTRIBUTORS + + 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 + ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha/change-log + for the pre-CVS changes and at + ftp://samba.org/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 organizations now help + fund the Samba Team with money and equipment. For details see + the Samba Web pages at + http://samba.org/samba/samba-thanks.html. + + + + AUTHOR + + The original Samba software and related utilities + were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed + by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar + to the way the Linux kernel is developed. + + 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, available at + + ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba 2.0 + release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for + Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter + + + -- cgit
