by James W. DeRoest

Published 1 January 2000
Samba is a set of tools for UNIX administrators that enable access to UNIX file systems and printers from a Windows client via Microsoft's Server Message Block (SMB). This title is a comprehensive collection of Samba administration tools. The book/CD-ROM package seeks to provide UNIX programmers with the tools necessary to unlock the power of UNIX and successfully integrate the Windows NT operating system. It covers installation, user interfaces, security, namespace and troubleshooting. It also covers the "nuts and bolts" of using the toolkit with particular focus on the complexities of the Windows Domain Systems and file system issues. The book is completely cross-referenced with other books in the "UNIX Tools" series.
