The Samba suite is a set of programs which run under the FreeBSD
|
|
operating system. These programs deliver most of the important
|
|
functionality of a Microsoft Lan Manager server. That is, they support
|
|
remote access to FreeBSD filespace and FreeBSD printers from Lan Manager
|
|
compatible clients. In practical terms, this means that such clients
|
|
can connect to and use FreeBSD filespace as if it was a local disk drive,
|
|
or FreeBSD printers as if they were local printers.
|
|
|
|
Some of the most popular Lan Manager compatible clients include Lan
|
|
Manager itself, Windows for Workgroups, OS/2 and Windows NT.
