Binary package “samba” in ubuntu-leb oneiric
SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix
Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems,
providing support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with
Microsoft Windows, OS X, and other Unix systems. Samba can also function
as an NT4-style domain controller, and can integrate with both NT4 domains
and Active Directory realms as a member server.
.
This package provides the components necessary to use Samba as a
stand-alone file and print server. For use in an NT4 domain or Active
Directory realm, you will also need the winbind package.
.
This package is not required for connecting to existing SMB/CIFS servers
(see smbclient) or for mounting remote filesystems (see cifs-utils).
