SAMBA(7) samba 2.0.9 SAMBA(7)
08 May 2001
NAME
Samba - A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserver for UNIX
SYNOPSIS
Samba
DESCRIPTION
The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements
the Server Message Block(commonly abbreviated as SMB) protocol for
UNIX systems. This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the
Common Internet File System (CIFS), LanManager or NetBIOS protocol.
COMPONENTS
The Samba suite is made up of several components. Each component is
described in a separate manual page. It is strongly recommended that
you read the documentation that comes with Samba and the manual pages
of those components that you use. If the manual pages aren't clear
enough then please send a patch or bug report to samba@samba.org.
smbd
The smbd (8) daemon provides the file and print services to SMB
clients, such as Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows for
Workgroups or LanManager. The configuration file for this daemon
is described in smb.conf (5).
nmbd
The nmbd (8) daemon provides NetBIOS nameserving and browsing
support. The configuration file for this daemon is described in
smb.conf (5).
smbclient
The smbclient (1) program implements a simple ftp-like client.
This is useful for accessing SMB shares on other compatible
servers (such as Windows NT), and can also be used to allow a
UNIX box to print to a printer attached to any SMB server (such
as a PC running Windows NT).
testparm
The testparm (1) utility allows you to test your smb.conf (5)
configuration file.
testprns
the testprns (1) utility allows you to test the printers defined
in your printcap file.
smbstatus
The smbstatus (1) utility allows you list current connections to
the smbd (8) server.
nmblookup
the nmblookup (1) utility allows NetBIOS name queries to be made
from the UNIX machine.
make_smbcodepage
The make_smbcodepage (1) utility allows you to create SMB code
page definition files for your smbd (8) server.
smbpasswd
The smbpasswd (8) utility allows you to change SMB encrypted
passwords on Samba and Windows NT(tm) servers.
AVAILABILITY
The Samba software suite is licensed under the GNU Public License
(GPL). A copy of that license should have come with the package in the
file COPYING. You are encouraged to distribute copies of the Samba
suite, but please obey the terms of this license.
The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via anonymous
ftp from samba.org in the directory pub/samba/. It is also available
on several mirror sites worldwide.
You may also find useful information about Samba on the newsgroup
comp.protocols.smb and the Samba mailing list. Details on how to join
the mailing list are given in the README file that comes with Samba.
If you have access to a WWW viewer (such as Netscape or Mosaic) then
you will also find lots of useful information, including back issues
of the Samba mailing list, at http://samba.org/samba/.
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 2.0 of the Samba suite.
SAMBA(7) samba 2.0.9 SAMBA(7)

CONTRIBUTIONS
If you wish to contribute to the Samba project, then I suggest you
join the Samba mailing list at samba@samba.org. See the Web page at
http://samba.org/listproc for details on how to do this.
If you have patches to submit or bugs to report then you may mail them
directly to samba@samba.org. Note, however, that due to the enormous
popularity of this package the Samba Team may take some time to
respond to mail. We prefer patches in diff -u format.
CREDITS
Contributors to the project are now too numerous to mention here but
all deserve the thanks of all Samba users. To see a full list, look at
ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha/change-log for the pre-CVS changes and
at ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha/cvs.log for the contributors to
Samba post-CVS. CVS is the Open Source source code control system used
by the Samba Team to develop Samba. The project would have been
unmanageable without it.
In addition, several commercial organizations now help fund the Samba
Team with money and equipment. For details see the Samba Web pages at
http://samba.org/samba/samba-thanks.html.
AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
Andrew Tridgell samba@samba.org. Samba is now developed by the Samba
Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is
developed.
The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page
sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
Source software, available at ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/) and
updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy Allison. samba@samba.org.
