SAMBA
Samba provides a complete replacement for Windows NT, Warp, NFS, or netware servers. Most common uses include:
- SMB server, to provide Windows NT and LAN Manager-style file and print services to SMB clients such as Windows 95, Warp Server, smbfs and others.
- NetBIOS (rfc1001/1002) nameserver, which amongst other things gives browsing support. Samba can be the master browser on your LAN if you wish.
- ftp-like SMB client so you can access PC resources (disks and printers) from unix, Netware and other operating systems
- tar extension to the client for backing up PCs
- limited command-line tool that supports some of the NT administrative functionality, which can be used on Samba, NT workstation and NT server.
