A File and Print Server for Heterogeneous Networks.
Intermediate Level Users.
Includes CD-ROM.
Samba is a cross-platform triumph: it turns a Unix or Linux system into a file and print server for MS Windows network clients. The magic behind Samba is that it recognises and speaks the SMB protocol developed by Microsoft for file and printer sharing on its own systems. Samba is so robust, flexible, and secure that many people are choosing it over Windows NT for their file and print services.
Basic Samba configuration is simple, but readers will want to make sure their security settings are just right and find out about the full range of options. Troubleshooting, connectivity, performance, and logging are thoroughly covered with examples in this book. The author also presents the most common configurations and problems in an easy-to-follow manner, along with complete instructions for getting the most out of Samba. The book also includes a CD-ROM of sources and ready-to-install binaries.
