A File and Print Server for Linux, Unix & Mac OS X
Using Samba, Third Edition, is the comprehensive guide to Samba administration, officially adopted by the Samba Team. Whether you’re wondering how to integrate Samba’s authentication with that of a Windows domain, how to get Samba to serve Microsoft DFS shares, or how to share files on Mac OS X, you’ll learn about these and a dozen other issues of interest to system administrators.
The range of this book knows few bounds. Using Samba takes you from basic installation and configuration—on both the client and server side, for a wide range of systems—to subtle details of security, cross-platform compatibility, and resource discovery.
This edition covers advanced 3.x features such as:
Integrating with Active Directory and OpenLDAP
Migrating from Windows NT 4.0 domains to Samba
Delegating administrative tasks to nonroot users
Managing printers
Making use of Virtual File System (VFS) plug-ins and other advanced file-serving features
Samba is a cross-platform triumph; robust, flexible, and fast, it turns a Unix or Linux system into a file and print server for Microsoft Windows network clients. The authors of Using Samba delve into the internals of the Windows activities and protocols, explaining the strengths and weaknesses of each fea¬ture in Windows domains and in Samba itself, so you can make your file and print sharing both powerful and efficient.
Whether you’re playing on your personal computer or an enterprise network, on one note or a full three-octave range, Using Samba, Third Edition, will give you an efficient and secure server.
