Samba: |
Samba: This is THE software to connect your Microsoft Windows *, NT, Apple, and OS/2 clients to Unix for file and print sharing. When we found that our existing NT NFS software blew up NT 4.0, we got Samba running in less than 3 hours on SunOS 4.1.4 and Solaris 2.x. Using Samba is a great book from O’Reilly, written by Eckstein, Collier-Brown and Kelly. The entire book is available online in HTML or PDF, or you can order a hardcopy version.br> Samba books by John Terpstra.”Samba-3 By Example: Practical Exercises to Successful Deployment” is a cookbook of configuration files, step-by-step instructions and automated scripts. “The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide” is written to be the definitive guide to using Samba-3. |
