|
|
|
|
The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements
|
|
the Server Message Block(commenly abbreviated as SMB) protocol for
|
|
UNIX systems. This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the
|
|
Common Internet File System (CIFS), LanManager or NetBIOS protocol.
|
|
|
|
manpagesection(COMPONENTS)
|
|
|
|
The Samba suite is made up of several components. Each component is
|
|
described in a separate manual page. It is strongly recommended that
|
|
you read the documentation that comes with Samba and the manual pages
|
|
of those components that you use. If the manual pages aren't clear
|
|
enough then please send a patch to email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au).

|
dit(bf(smbd)) nl() The bf(smbd) (8) daemon provides the file and print
|
|
services to SMB clients, such as Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows
|
|
for Workgroups or LanManager. The configuration file for this daemon
|
|
is described in bf(smb.conf (5)).
|
|
|
|
dit(bf(nmbd)) nl() The bf(nmbd) (8) daemon provides NetBIOS
|
|
nameserving and browsing support. The configuration file for this
|
|
daemon is described in bf(smb.conf (5)).
|
|
|
|
dit(bf(smbclient)) nl() The bf(smbclient) (1) program implements a simple
|
|
ftp-like client. This is useful for accessing SMB shares on other
|
|
compatible servers (such as Windows NT), and can also be used to allow
|
|
a UNIX box to print to a printer attached to any SMB server (such as a
|
|
PC running Windows NT).
|
|
|
|
dit(bf(testparm)) nl() The bf(testparm) (1) utility allows you to test your
|
|
bf(smb.conf (5)) configuration file.
|
|
|
|
dit(bf(smbstatus)) nl() The bf(smbstatus) (1) utility allows you to tell
|
|
who is currently using the bf(smbd) (8) server.
|
|
|
|
dit(bf(nmblookup)) nl() the bf(nmblookup) (1) utility allows NetBIOS
|
|
name queries to be made from the UNIX machine.

manpagesection(AVAILABILITY)
|
|
|
|
The Samba software suite is licensed under the GNU Public License
|
|
(GPL). A copy of that license should have come with the package in the
|
|
file COPYING. You are encouraged to distribute copies of the Samba
|
|
suite, but please keep obey the terms of this license.
|
|
|
|
The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via anonymous
|
|
ftp from samba.anu.edu.au in the directory pub/samba/. It is
|
|
also available on several mirror sites worldwide.
|
|
|
|
You may also find useful information about Samba on the newsgroup
|
|
comp.protocols.smb and the Samba mailing list. Details on how to join
|
|
the mailing list are given in the README file that comes with Samba.
|
|
|
|
If you have access to a WWW viewer (such as Netscape or Mosaic) then
|
|
you will also find lots of useful information, including back issues
|
|
of the Samba mailing list, at
|
|
url(http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/)(http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/).
|
|
|
|
manpagesection(VERSION)
|
|
|
|
This man page is current for version 2.0 of Samba
|
|
|
|
manpagesection(CONTRIBUTIONS)
|
|
|
|
If you wish to contribute to the Samba project, then I suggest you
|
|
join the Samba mailing list at email(samba@samba.anu.edu.au). See the
|
|
Web page at
|
|
url(http://samba.anu.edu.au/listproc)(http://samba.anu.edu.au/listproc)
|
|
for details on how to do this.
|
|
|
|
If you have patches to submit or bugs to report then you may mail them
|
|
directly to email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). Note, however, that due to
|
|
the enormous popularity of this package the Samba Team may take some
|
|
time to repond to mail. We prefer patches in em(diff -u) format.
|
|
|
|
manpagesection(AUTHOR)
|
|
|
|
The main author of the Samba suite is Andrew Tridgell. He may be
|
|
contacted via e-mail at email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). Samba is
|
|
now maintained by a distributed group of people around the world
|
|
collectively known as the Samba Team.
|
|
|
|
manpagesection(CREDITS)
|
|
|
|
Contributors to the project are now too numerous to mention here but
|
|
all deserve the thanks of all Samba users. To see a full list, look at
|
|
url(ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/change-log)(ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/change-log)
|
|
for the pre-CVS changes and at
|
|
url(ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/cvs.log)(ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/cvs.log)
|
|
for the contributors to Samba post-CVS. CVS is the Open Source source
|
|
code control system used by the Samba Team to develop Samba. The
|
|
project would have been unmanageable without it.
|
|
|
|
In addition, several commercial organisations now help fund the Samba
|
|
Team with money and equipment. For details see the Samba Web pages at
|
|
url(http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/samba-thanks.html)(http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/samba-thanks.html).

The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page
|
|
sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
|
|
Source software) and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy
|
|
Allison.
