DESCRIPTION

12       The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements
13       the Server Message Block (commonly abbreviated as SMB) protocol for
14       UNIX systems. This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the Common
15       Internet File System (CIFS). For a more thorough description, see
16       http://www.ubiqx.org/cifs/. Samba also implements the NetBIOS protocol
17       in nmbd.
18
19       smbd(8)
20           The smbd daemon provides the file and print services to SMB
21           clients, such as Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups
22           or LanManager. The configuration file for this daemon is described
23           in smb.conf(5)
24
25       nmbd(8)
26           The nmbd daemon provides NetBIOS nameservice and browsing support.
27           The configuration file for this daemon is described in smb.conf(5)
28
29       smbclient(1)
30           The smbclient program implements a simple ftp-like client. This is
31           useful for accessing SMB shares on other compatible servers (such
32           as Windows NT), and can also be used to allow a UNIX box to print
33           to a printer attached to any SMB server (such as a PC running
34           Windows NT).
35
36       testparm(1)
37           The testparm utility is a simple syntax checker for Samba's
38           smb.conf(5) configuration file.

COMPONENTS

128       The Samba suite is made up of several components. Each component is
129       described in a separate manual page. It is strongly recommended that
130       you read the documentation that comes with Samba and the manual pages
131       of those components that you use. If the manual pages and documents
132       aren't clear enough then please visit http://devel.samba.org for
133       information on how to file a bug report or submit a patch.
134
135       If you require help, visit the Samba webpage at http://www.samba.org/
136       and explore the many option available to you.

139       The Samba software suite is licensed under the GNU Public License(GPL).
140       A copy of that license should have come with the package in the file
141       COPYING. You are encouraged to distribute copies of the Samba suite,
142       but please obey the terms of this license.
143
144       The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via anonymous ftp

146       several mirror sites worldwide.
147
148       You may also find useful information about Samba on the newsgroup
149       comp.protocol.smb and the Samba mailing list. Details on how to join
150       the mailing list are given in the README file that comes with Samba.
151
152       If you have access to a WWW viewer (such as Mozilla or Konqueror) then
153       you will also find lots of useful information, including back issues of

CONTRIBUTORS

168       Contributors to the project are now too numerous to mention here but
169       all deserve the thanks of all Samba users. To see a full list, look at
170       the change-log in the source package for the pre-CVS changes and at
171       http://cvs.samba.org/ for the contributors to Samba post-CVS. CVS is
172       the Open Source source code control system used by the Samba Team to
173       develop Samba. The project would have been unmanageable without it.

AUTHOR

176       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
177       Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
178       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
179
180       The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page
181       sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
182       Source software, available at ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/) and
183       updated for the Samba 2.0 release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to
184       DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to
185       DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.
