	Samba (software) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Samba is a free software re-implementation of SMB/CIFS networking protocol released under the GNU General Public License.
		Samba was originally developed for Unix by Andrew Tridgell at the Australian National University, originally by reverse-engineering the protocol used by DEC PATHWORKS server software using a packet sniffer.
		Samba TNG is a fork of Samba which has significant architectural and implementation differences in the key areas of the NT Domain Services.

	oreilly.com -- Online Catalog: Using Samba
		Samba is a cross-platform triumph: it turns a Unix or Linux system into a file and print server for Microsoft Windows network clients.
		Samba is so robust, flexible, and secure that many people are choosing it over Windows NT for their file and print services.
		Samba is also open source software, licensed under the GNU General Public License.

	Do the Samba with Linux File Servers
		The software engineers needed to access data on the UNIX servers from their Windows computers, but the software they used to do so was clumsy, did not support NetBIOS (an early Microsoft file sharing protocol), and -- at $200 per PC -- it was rather expensive.
		Samba is an Open Source, free software implementation of a suite of protocols that provide seamless file and print services to any Windows system.
		Samba might not be for everyone, but if you have access to Linux support or feel that you have enough knowledge to do it yourself, Samba is an easy and cheap way to deliver reliable file and print services for your small business.
