Content:
Samba is the standard Windows interoperability suite of programs for Linux and Unix. It is a free software licensed under the GNU General Public License. Samba is a re-implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol. Samba provides secure, stable and fast print and file services for clients using the SMB/CIFS protocol, e.g. all versions of DOS and Windows, OS/2, Linux and many others.
Samba is an important component to seamlessly integrate Linux/Unix Servers and Desktops into Active Directory environments. It can function both as a domain controller or as a regular domain member.
Samba runs on most Unixoid systems, such as UNIX, Linux, Solaris, AIX and the BSD variants.
