Samba (software) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This article is about the standard Microsoft Windows interoperability suite of programs for Linux and Unix. For other uses, see Samba (disambiguation). Samba is a free software re- implementation of the SMB/CIFSnetworkingprotocol, and was originally developed by Andrew Tridgell.
Samba provides file and printservices for various Microsoft Windowsclients and can integrate with a Microsoft Windows Server domain, either as a Domain Controller (DC) or as a domain member. As of version 4, it supports Active Directory and Microsoft Windows NT domains. Samba runs on most Unix, Open. VMS and Unix- like systems, such as Linux, Solaris, AIX and the BSD variants, including Apple's OS X Server, and OS X client (version 1. Samba is standard on nearly all distributions of Linux and is commonly included as a basic system service on other Unix- based operating systems as well.
Samba is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. The name Samba comes from SMB (Server Message Block), the name of the standard protocol used by the Microsoft Windows network file system. Early history[edit]Andrew Tridgell developed the first version of Samba Unix in December 1. January 1. 99. 2, as a Ph.
D student at the Australian National University, using a packet sniffer to do network analysis of the protocol used by DECPathworks server software. At the time of the first releases, versions 0. January 1. 99. 2, it did not have a proper name, and Tridgell just called it "a Unix file server for Dos Pathworks". At the time of version 1.
PC clients". With a focus on interoperability with Microsoft's LAN Manager, Tridgell released "netbios for unix", nbserver, version 1. December 1. 99. 3. This release was the first to include client- software as well as a server. Also, at this time GPL2 was chosen as license. Midway through the 1. However, Tridgell got a trademark notice from the company "Syntax", who sold a product named Total.
Net Advanced Server and owned the trademark for "SMBserver". The name "Samba" was derived by running the Unix command grep through the system dictionary looking for words that contained the letters S, M, and B, in that order (i. Versions 1. 6, 1. January 1. 99. 5. Tridgell considers the adoption of CVS in May 1. Samba Team, though there had been contributions from other people, especially Jeremy Allison, previously.[5]Version 2.
January 1. 99. 9, and version 2. April 2. 00. 1. Version history[edit]Version 3. September 2. 00. 3, was a major upgrade. Samba gained the ability to join Active Directory as a member, though not as a domain controller.[6] Subsequent point- releases to 3.
Currently, the latest release in this series is 3. October 2. 00. 9, and shipped on a voluntary basis.[7] The 3.

This was the first release to include both Samba 3 and Samba 4 source code.[1. It is the latest stable release of the Samba 3. This was the first release to include experimental support for SMB2.[1.
This is the first branch which includes full support for SMB2.[1. It is a major rewrite that enables Samba to be an Active Directory domain controller, participating fully in a Windows Active Directory Domain. Its first technical preview (4.

Security[edit]Some versions of Samba 3. Samba's remote procedure call.[2. Features[edit]Samba allows file and print sharing between computers running Microsoft Windows and computers running Unix.
It is an implementation of dozens of services and a dozen protocols, including: All these services and protocols are frequently incorrectly referred to as just Net. BIOS or SMB. The NBT (Net. BIOS over TCP/IP) and WINS protocols are deprecated on Windows. Samba sets up network shares for chosen Unix directories (including all contained subdirectories). These appear to Microsoft Windows users as normal Windows folders accessible via the network. Unix users can either mount the shares directly as part of their file structure using the smbmount command or, alternatively, can use a utility, smbclient (libsmb) installed with Samba to read the shares with a similar interface to a standard command line FTP program. Each directory can have different access privileges overlaid on top of the normal Unix file protections.
For example: home directories would have read/write access for all known users, allowing each to access their own files. However they would still not have access to the files of others unless that permission would normally exist. Note that the netlogon share, typically distributed as a read only share from /etc/samba/netlogon, is the logon directory for user logon scripts. Samba services are implemented as two daemons: smbd, which provides the file and printer sharing services, andnmbd, which provides the Net. BIOS- to- IP- address name service. Net. BIOS over TCP/IP requires some method for mapping Net. BIOS computer names to the IP addresses of a TCP/IP network.
Samba configuration is achieved by editing a single file (typically installed as /etc/smb. Samba can also provide user logon scripts and group policy implementation through poledit. Samba is included in most Linux distributions and is started during the boot process. On Red Hat, for instance, the /etc/rc. Samba is not included in Solaris 8, but a Solaris 8- compatible version is available from the Samba website. Samba includes a web administration tool called Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT).[2.
SWAT was removed starting with version 4. Samba TNG[edit]Samba TNG (The Next Generation) was forked in late 1. Samba Team leaders and Luke Leighton about the directions of the Samba project. They failed to come to an agreement on a development transition path which allowed the research version of Samba he was developing (known at the time as Samba- NTDOM) to slowly be integrated into Samba.[2.
Since the project started, development has been minimal, due to a lack of developers. As such the Samba TNG team frequently recommends to people who are unsure of which program to use to try Samba instead, as they have more developers and are able to support more platforms and situations.[2. One of the key goals of the Samba TNG project is to rewrite all of the NT Domains services as Free. DCE projects.[2. 8] Making this rewriting goal difficult is the fact that services were all developed manually through network reverse- engineering, with limited or no reference to DCE/RPC documentation.[citation needed]The key differences between the two programs are in the implementation of the NT Domains suite of protocols and MSRPC services. Samba makes all the NT Domains services available from a single place, whereas Samba TNG has separated each service into its own program.[citation needed]React.
OS has started using Samba TNG services for its SMB implementation. The developers of both projects were interested in seeing the Samba TNG design used to help get React. OS talking to Windows networks. They have been working together to adapt the network code and build system.
The multi- layered and modular approach made it easy to port each service to React. OS.[2. 9]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit].
