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 and provides Active Directory services. The first version
15       of the SMB protocol is sometimes also referred to as the Common
16       Internet File System (CIFS). For a more thorough description, see
17       http://www.ubiqx.org/cifs/. Samba also implements the NetBIOS protocol
18       in nmbd.
19
20       samba(8)
21           The samba daemon provides the Active Directory services and file
22           and print services to SMB clients. The configuration file for this
23           daemon is described in smb.conf(5).
24
25       smbd(8)
26           The smbd daemon provides the file and print services to SMB
27           clients. The configuration file for this daemon is described in
28           smb.conf(5).
29
30       nmbd(8)
31           The nmbd daemon provides NetBIOS nameservice and browsing support.
32           The configuration file for this daemon is described in smb.conf(5).

36           and the user database into unix.
37
38       smbclient(1)
39           The smbclient program implements a simple ftp-like client. This is
40           useful for accessing SMB shares on other compatible SMB servers,
41           and can also be used to allow a UNIX box to print to a printer
42           attached to any SMB server.

49           The testparm utility is a simple syntax checker for Samba's
50           smb.conf(5) configuration file. In AD server mode samba-tool
51           testparm should be used though.
52
53       smbstatus(1)
54           The smbstatus tool provides access to information about the current
55           connections to smbd.

COMPONENTS

116       The Samba suite is made up of several components. Each component is
117       described in a separate manual page. It is strongly recommended that
118       you read the documentation that comes with Samba and the manual pages
119       of those components that you use. If the manual pages and documents
120       aren't clear enough then please visit https://devel.samba.org for
121       information on how to file a bug report or submit a patch.
122

CONTRIBUTORS

152       Contributors to the project are now too numerous to mention here but
153       all deserve the thanks of all Samba users. To see a full list, look at
154       the change-log in the source package for the pre-CVS changes and at
155       https://git.samba.org/ for the contributors to Samba post-GIT. GIT is
156       the Open Source source code control system used by the Samba Team to
157       develop Samba. The project would have been unmanageable without it.

AUTHOR

160       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
161       Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
162       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
