Samba is a suite of applications that speak the Server Message Block (SMB)
|
|
|
|
|
protocol. Samba allows a UNIX machine to perform client-server networking
|
|
|
|
|
for file and printer sharing with Microsoft Windows systems using their
|
|
|
|
|
native network protocol and to appear as another Windows system on the
|
|
|
|
|
network from the perspective of a Windows client. The Samba suite also
|
|
|
|
|
includes client tools that allow users to access folders and printers that
|
|
|
|
|
Windows systems and Samba servers offer on the network.
