  1. Samba

  2. Interconnectivity • Can be run on systems other than Windows • Unix • Linux • Vax/ VMS • Uses TCP/IP to interact • Basically allows a box other than Windows to act as a file server • Properly configured, it will appear in the Windows “Network Neighborhood”

  3. Two main programs • smbd • SMB daemon • Handles authentication and authorization • In effect, user names and passwords • Sharer mode • Each shared file or printer has a password • User mode • Each user has user name and password • nmbd • NetBIOS name server

  4. Installing • Samba is part of Ubuntu • smb.conf is the configuration file • You may edit it in line or using SWAT which comes with Samba

  5. SWAT • SWAT is a Web-based interface that can be used to facilitate the configuration of Samba. SWAT might not be available in the Samba package that shipped with your platform, but in a separate package. If it is necesaary to built SWAT please read the SWAT man page regarding compilation, installation, and configuration of SWAT from the source code. • To launch SWAT, just run your favorite Web browser and point it to http://localhost:901/. Replace localhost with the name of the computer on which Samba is running if that is a different computer than your browser.

  6. SWAT (cont’d) • SWAT can be used from a browser on any IP-connected machine, but be aware that connecting from a remote machine leaves your connection open to password sniffing because passwords will be sent over the wire in the clear. • More information about SWAT can be found in The Samba Web Administration Tool.
