<h1>Samba</h1>
<h2>Samba</h2>
<h2>23 Oct 1998</h2>
<p><br><a name="NAME"></a>
<h2>NAME</h2>
Samba - A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserver for UNIX
<p><br><a name="SYNOPSIS"></a>
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
<strong>Samba</strong>
<p><br><a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p><br>The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements
the Server Message Block(commenly abbreviated as SMB) protocol for
UNIX systems. This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the
Common Internet File System (CIFS), LanManager or NetBIOS protocol.
<p><br><a name="COMPONENTS"></a>
<h2>COMPONENTS</h2>
<p><br>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 to <a href="mailto:samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au"><em>samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au</em></a>.
<p><br><ul>
<p><br><li><strong><a href="smbd.8.html"><strong>smbd</strong></a></strong> <br> <br> The <a href="smbd.8.html"><strong>smbd</strong>
(8)</a> 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
<a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf (5)</strong></a>.
<p><br><li><strong><a href="nmbd.8.html"><strong>nmbd</strong></a></strong> <br> <br> The <a href="nmbd.8.html"><strong>nmbd</strong>
(8)</a> daemon provides NetBIOS nameserving and browsing
support. The configuration file for this daemon is described in
<a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf (5)</strong></a>.
<p><br><li><strong><a href="smbclient.1.html"><strong>smbclient</strong></a></strong> <br> <br> The <a href="smbclient.1.html"><strong>smbclient</strong>
(1)</a> 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).
<p><br><li><strong><a href="testparm.1.html"><strong>testparm</strong></a></strong> <br> <br> The <a href="testparm.1.html"><strong>testparm
(1)</strong></a> utility allows you to test your <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf
(5)</strong></a> configuration file.
<p><br><li><strong><a href="testprns.1.html"><strong>testprns</strong></a></strong> <br> <br> the <a href="testprns.1.html"><strong>testprns
(1)</strong></a> utility allows you to test the printers defined
in your printcap file.
<p><br><li><strong><a href="smbstatus.1.html"><strong>smbstatus</strong></a></strong> <br> <br> The <a href="smbstatus.1.html"><strong>smbstatus</strong>
(1)</a> utility allows you to tell who is currently
using the <a href="smbd.8.html"><strong>smbd (8)</strong></a> server.
<p><br><li><strong><a href="nmblookup.1.html"><strong>nmblookup</strong></a></strong> <br> <br> the
<a href="nmblookup.1.html"><strong>nmblookup (1)</strong></a> utility allows NetBIOS name
queries to be made from the UNIX machine.
<p><br><li><strong><a href="make_smbcodepage.1.html"><strong>make_smbcodepage</strong></a></strong> <br> <br> The
<a href="make_smbcodepage.1.html"><strong>make_smbcodepage (1)</strong></a> utility allows
you to create SMB code page definition files for your <a href="smbd.8.html"><strong>smbd
(8)</strong></a> server.
<p><br><li><strong><a href="smbpasswd.8.html"><strong>smbpasswd</strong></a></strong> <br> <br> The <a href="smbpasswd.8.html"><strong>smbpasswd
(8)</strong></a> utility allows you to change SMB encrypted
passwords on Samba and Windows NT(tm) servers.
<p><br></ul>
<p><br><a name="AVAILABILITY"></a>
<h2>AVAILABILITY</h2>
<p><br>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 keep obey the terms of this license.
<p><br>The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via anonymous
ftp from samba.anu.edu.au in the directory pub/samba/. It is
also available on several mirror sites worldwide.
<p><br>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.
<p><br>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
<a href="http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/">http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/</a>.
<p><br><a name="VERSION"></a>
<h2>VERSION</h2>
<p><br>This man page is correct for version 2.0 of the Samba suite.
<p><br><a name="CONTRIBUTIONS"></a>
<h2>CONTRIBUTIONS</h2>
<p><br>If you wish to contribute to the Samba project, then I suggest you
join the Samba mailing list at <a href="mailto:samba@samba.anu.edu.au"><em>samba@samba.anu.edu.au</em></a>. See the
Web page at
<a href="http://samba.anu.edu.au/listproc">http://samba.anu.edu.au/listproc</a>
for details on how to do this.
<p><br>If you have patches to submit or bugs to report then you may mail them
directly to <a href="mailto:samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au"><em>samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au</em></a>. Note, however, that due to
the enormous popularity of this package the Samba Team may take some
time to repond to mail. We prefer patches in <em>diff -u</em> format.
<p><br><a name="CREDITS"></a>
<h2>CREDITS</h2>
<p><br>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
<a href="ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/change-log">ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/change-log</a>
for the pre-CVS changes and at
<a href="ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/cvs.log">ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/cvs.log</a>
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.
<p><br>In addition, several commercial organisations now help fund the Samba
Team with money and equipment. For details see the Samba Web pages at
<a href="http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/samba-thanks.html">http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/samba-thanks.html</a>.
<p><br><a name="AUTHOR"></a>
<h2>AUTHOR</h2>
<p><br>The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
Andrew Tridgell <a href="mailto:samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au"><em>samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au</em></a>. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
Linux kernel is developed.
<p><br>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
<a href="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/"><strong>ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</strong></a>)
and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy Allison.
