Samba

(networking)A free suite of programs which implement theServer Message Block (SMB) protocol.

Originally developed for Unix by Andrew Tridgell at theAustralian National University, the Samba server allowsfiles and printers on the host operating system to beshared with clients such as Windows for Workgroups, DOS,OS/2, Windows NT and others.

For example, instead of using telnet to log in to a Unixmachine to edit a file there, a Windows 95 user mightconnect a drive in the Windows Explorer to a Samba server onthe Unix machine and edit the file in a Windows editor.

A Unix client called smbclient, built from the same source code, allows ftp-like access to SMB resources.

Samba is available for many Unix variants, OS/2, and VMS.Porting to Novell Netware is in progress (August 1996).

smblib is a portable generic library for making SMB callsfor implementing client/server functions from within anyprogram. Linux implements a complete file system (based onsmbclient) so by default Linux users have full access toresources on LAN Server, Windows NT and LAN Managernetworks.

Samba

(SaMBa) Software that allows a Unix server to act as a file server to Windows clients. Samba is a free, open source implementation of the CIFS file sharing protocol, which evolved from SMB, hence the SMB in SaMBa. Samba runs under Linux, FreeBSD and other Unix variants. It can be used with any modern PC as well as other hardware, but due to its efficiency, it also lends itself to old 486s that are recycled to serve as inexpensive file, print and backup servers in a Windows environment. See SMB.
