Chapter 16. Samba
The presence of Microsoft Windows machines in
the network environment is often unavoidable for the Linux network
administrator, and often interoperability is critical. Fortunately, a
group of developers has been hard at work for the last 10 years, and
has created one of the most advanced Windows-to-UNIX interoperability
packagesSamba. It has, in fact, become so successful and
practical that system administrators can completely replace Windows
servers with Samba servers, keeping all functionality, while adding
additional stability.
