Using Samba

This book, which has been officially adopted by the Samba team under an open content license, is a comprehensive guide to Samba administration, including such recent additions as integration with Windows NT domains and the SWAT graphic configuration tool. Troubleshooting, security, connectivity, performance, and logging are thoroughly covered with examples in this book. Samba is a cross-platform triumph: it turns a Unix or Linux system into a file and print server for Microsoft Windows network clients. Now you can let users store their files (and even important executables) in a single place for easy sharing and backup, protected by Unix or NT security mechanisms, and still offer such transparent access the PC users don't even realize they're going to another system. Samba is also open source software, licensed under the GNU General Public License.
