Introduction
Samba is an extremely useful networking tool for anyone
who has both Windows and Unix systems on a network.
When run on a Unix system (including Linux, BSD, or Mac
OS X), Samba allows Windows to access files and printers
shared by the Unix host, and permits Unix users to access
resources shared by Windows systems.
This pocket reference, which is based on Using Samba
(O’Reilly), summarizes the many commands and tools avail-
able to Samba administrators. It provides examples of proper
command syntax and can help you choose the best configu-
ration options for your network.
WARNING
This book does not include enough information for an in-
experienced Samba administrator. Running Samba en-
tails operational and security concerns, and its options
have subtle interactions and side effects. Even if you are
starting from an example or existing configuration file,
please study Using Samba or another introductory book
before trying to administer Samba.
