Using Samba

Más información sobre el libro

"Samba is cross-platform triumph: it turns a Unix of Linux system into a file and print server for Microsoft Windows network clients. Now you can let users store their files (and even important executables) in a single place for easy sharing and backup, protected by Unix or NT security mechanisms, and still offer such transparent access that PC users don't even realize they're going to another system. The magic behind Samba is that it recognizes and speaks the SMB protocol developed by Microsoft for file and printer sharing on its own systems." "The authors present the most common configurations and problems in an easy-to-follow manner, along with instructions for getting the most out of Samba. Whether you're playing on one note or a full three-octave range, this book will give you an efficient and secure server." "The CD-ROM included with this book is a complete mirror of the Samba FTP site, including sources, ready-to-install binaries, documentation, and related utilities."--Jacket
