24 |
The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that |
|
|
25 |
implements the Server Message Block (commonly abbreviated as |
|
|
26 |
SMB) protocol for UNIX systems. This protocol is sometimes |
|
|
27 |
also referred to as the Common Internet File System (CIFS), |
|
|
28 |
!LanManager or NetBIOS protocol. |

__smbd__ |
|
|
32 |
|
|
|
33 |
|
|
|
34 |
The __smbd__ daemon provides the file and print services |
|
|
35 |
to SMB clients, such as Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows |
|
|
36 |
for Workgroups or !LanManager. The configuration file for |
|
|
37 |
this daemon is described in ''smb.conf'' |

__nmbd__ |

The __nmbd__ daemon provides NetBIOS nameserving and |

The __smbclient__ program implements a simple ftp-like |
|
|
52 |
client. This is useful for accessing SMB shares on other |
|
|
53 |
compatible servers (such as Windows NT), and can also be |
|
|
54 |
used to allow a UNIX box to print to a printer attached to |
|
|
55 |
any SMB server (such as a PC running Windows |
|
|
56 |
NT). |

!!COMPONENTS |
|
|
103 |
|
|
|
104 |
|
|
|
105 |
The Samba suite is made up of several components. Each |
|
|
106 |
component is described in a separate manual page. It is |
|
|
107 |
strongly recommended that you read the documentation that |
|
|
108 |
comes with Samba and the manual pages of those components |
|
|
109 |
that you use. If the manual pages aren't clear enough then |
|
|
110 |
please send a patch or bug report to samba@samba.org |
|
|
111 |

The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via |
|
|
122 |
anonymous ftp from samba.org in the directory pub/samba/. It |
|
|
123 |
is also available on several mirror sites |

The original Samba software and related utilities were |
|
|
170 |
created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the |
|
|
171 |
Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the |
|
|
172 |
Linux kernel is developed. |
|
|
173 |
|
|
|

175 |
The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The |
|
|
176 |
man page sources were converted to YODL format (another |
|
