samba \- A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserver for UNIX
178
The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements the Server Message Block (commonly abbreviated as SMB) protocol for UNIX systems\&. This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the Common Internet File System (CIFS)\&. For a more thorough description, see
179
http://www\&.ubiqx\&.org/cifs/\&. Samba also implements the NetBIOS protocol in nmbd\&.
185
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
193
daemon provides NetBIOS nameservice and browsing support\&. The configuration file for this daemon is described in
201
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)\&.
208
utility is a simple syntax checker for Samba\'s
210
configuration file\&.
217
utility supports testing printer names defined in your
219
file used by Samba\&.

is a utility that can change the behaviour of running samba daemons\&.
287
is a utility that can be used to execute RPC commands on remote CIFS servers\&.
294
command can be used to maintain the local user database on a samba server\&.
301

are commands that can be used to mount CIFS/SMB shares on Linux\&.

369
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 and documents aren\'t clear enough then please visit
370
http://devel\&.samba\&.org
371
for information on how to file a bug report or submit a patch\&.
373
If you require help, visit the Samba webpage at
374
http://www\&.samba\&.org/
375
and explore the many option available to you\&.
378
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 obey the terms of this license\&.
380
The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via anonymous ftp from samba\&.org in the directory pub/samba/\&. It is also available on several mirror sites worldwide\&.
382
You may also find useful information about Samba on the newsgroup
383
comp\&.protocol\&.smb
384
and the Samba mailing list\&. Details on how to join the mailing list are given in the README file that comes with Samba\&.
386
If you have access to a WWW viewer (such as Mozilla or Konqueror) then you will also find lots of useful information, including back issues of the Samba mailing list, at
387
http://lists\&.samba\&.org\&.
390
This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite\&.
393
If you wish to contribute to the Samba project, then I suggest you join the Samba mailing list at
394
http://lists\&.samba\&.org\&.
396
If you have patches to submit, visit
397
http://devel\&.samba\&.org/
398
for information on how to do it properly\&. We prefer patches in

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 the
405
in the source package for the pre\-CVS changes and at
406
http://cvs\&.samba\&.org/
407
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\&.
410
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&.
412
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, available at
413
ftp://ftp\&.icce\&.rug\&.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba 2\&.0 release by Jeremy Allison\&. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2\&.2 was done by Gerald Carter\&. The conversion to DocBook XML 4\&.2 for Samba 3\&.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy\&.
