Samba is the suite of programs by which a lot of PC-related machines share files, printers, and other information . The Windows NT, OS/2, and Linux operating systems support this natively, and add-on packages can enable the same thing for DOS, Windows, VMS, UNIX of all kinds, MVS, and more. This package provides an SMB/CIFS server that can be used to provide network services to SMB/CIFS clients. Samba uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP protocols and does NOT need the NetBEUI protocol.
