Paris <peloy@debian.org> Uploaders: Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org> Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.1.13), libpam0g-dev, libreadline4-dev, libcupsys2-dev, autoconf, libacl1-dev (>= 2.2.11-1), libacl1 (>= 2.2.11-1), libkrb5-dev, libldap2-dev, po-debconf, python2.3-dev Standards-Version: 3.5.10 Package: samba Architecture: any Depends: samba-common (= ${Source-Version}), netbase, logrotate, ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, libpam-runtime (>= 0.76-13.1), libpam-modules Replaces: samba-common (<= 2.0.5a-2) Suggests: samba-doc Description: a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements the SMB protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve files and printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the LanManager or NetBIOS protocol. . This package contains all the components necessary to turn your Debian GNU/Linux box into a powerful file and printer server. . Currently, the Samba Debian packages consist of the following: . samba - LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix. samba-common - Samba common files used by both the server and the client. smbclient - LanManager-like simple client for Unix. swat - Samba Web Administration Tool samba-doc - Samba documentation. smbfs - Mount and umount commands for the smbfs (kernels 2.2.x and above). libpam-smbpass - pluggable authentication module for SMB password database libsmbclient - Shared library that allows applications to talk to SMB servers libsmbclient-dev - libsmbclient shared libraries winbind: Service to resolve user and group information from Windows NT servers python2.3-samba: Python bindings that allow access to various aspects of Samba . It is possible to install a subset of these packages depending on your particular needs. For example, to access other SMB servers you should only need the smbclient and samba-common packages. Package: samba-common Architecture: any Depends: debconf, libpam-modules, ${shlibs:Depends} Replaces: samba (<< 2.999+3.0.alpha21-4) Description: Samba common files used by both the server and the client The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements the SMB protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve files and printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the LanManager or NetBIOS protocol. . This package contains the common files that are used by both the server (provided in the samba package) and the client (provided in the smbclient package). Package: smbclient Architecture: any Depends: samba-common (= ${Source-Version}), ${shlibs:Depends} Replaces: samba (<< 2.999+3.0.alpha21-4) Provides: samba-client Suggests: smbfs Description: a LanManager-like simple client for Unix The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements the SMB protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve files and printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the LanManager or NetBIOS protocol. . This package contains some client components of the Samba suite. In particular it includes the command line utilities smbclient, smbtar, and smbspool. If you want to mount shares exported from Microsoft Windows machines or a Samba server you must install the smbfs package. Package: swat Architecture: any Depends: debconf, samba (= ${Source-Version}), ${shlibs:Depends} Recommends: samba-doc Description: Samba Web Administration Tool The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements the SMB protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve files and printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the LanManager or NetBIOS protocol. . This package contains the components of the Samba suite that are needed for Web administration of the Samba server. . Note: if you want to use the on-line documentation that is accesible through the Swat front-end you must install the samba-doc package. Package: samba-doc Section: doc Architecture: all Description: Samba documentation The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements the SMB protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve files and printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the LanManager or NetBIOS protocol. . This package contains all the documentation that comes in the original tarball. Package: smbfs Section: otherosfs Priority: optional Architecture: any Depends: netbase (>= 2.02), samba-common (= ${Source-Version}), ${shlibs:Depends} Suggests: smbclient Replaces: smbfsx Conflicts: smbfsx, suidmanager (<< 0.50) Description: mount and umount commands for the smbfs (for kernels >= than 2.2.x) Smbfs is a filesystem which understands the SMB protocol. This is the protocol Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT or LAN Manager use to talk to each other. It was inspired by samba, the program by Andrew Tridgell that turns any unix site into a file server for DOS or Windows clients. . If you want to use command-line utilities like smbclient, smbtar and/or smbspool you just need to install the smbclient package. . Starting with the Debian Samba packages version 2.2.0-1, the old smbfs utilities for 2.0.x have been removed. There are no wrapper scripts that call a specific smbmount/smbumount depending on the kernel version. If you are using a 2.0.x kernel please upgrade or use the latest Samba 2.0.7 Debian package. Package: libpam-smbpass Section: admin Priority: extra Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Suggests: samba Description: pluggable authentication module for SMB password database This is a stackable PAM module that allows a system administrator to easily migrate to using encrypted passwords for Samba and to keep smb passwords in sync with unix passwords. Unlike other solutions, it does this without requiring users to change their existing passwords or login to Samba using cleartext passwords. Package: libsmbclient Section: libs Priority: extra Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Description: shared library that allows applications to talk to SMB servers libsmbclient allows to write applications that use the SMB protocol. This gives applications the ability to talk to Microsoft Windows servers and Unix servers running Samba. . This package contains the libsmbclient shared library. Package: libsmbclient-dev Section: libdevel Priority: extra Architecture: any Depends: libsmbclient (= ${Source-Version}) Description: libsmbclient static libraries and headers libsmbclient allows to write applications that use the SMB protocol. This gives applications the ability to talk to Microsoft Windows servers and Unix servers running Samba. . This package contains the libsmbclient static libraries and headers needed to build applications that use SMB services. Package: winbind Section: net Priority: optional Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Replaces: samba (<= 2.2.3-2) Description: service to resolve user and group information from Windows NT servers This package provides the winbindd daemon, which provides a service for the Name Service Switch capability that is present in most modern C libraries (like the GNU C Library - glibc.) . The service provided by winbindd is called `winbind' and can be used to resolve user and group information from a Windows NT server. The service can also provide authentication services via an associated PAM module. Package: python2.3-samba Section: python Priority: optional Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, python2.3 Description: Python bindings that allow access to various aspects of Samba The Samba Python bindings allow you to access various aspects of Samba. At the moment their status is "experimental" but they have been reported to work well. . See /usr/share/doc/python2.3-samba/examples for a couple of examples.
