- <H1>Samba Configuration</H1>
- <P>
- <EM>Samba</EM> is a server application that runs on the Gateway server
- to make its filesystems and printers available to client computers
- running resource-sharing software such as LAN Manager and Windows for
- Workgroups. The resources that a Samba server offers are known as
- <I>shares</I>. (Systems running Windows NT, OS2, or Linux can also use
- Samba shares). <EM>Samba</EM> can work as one of many share servers in a
- heterogeneous network of UNIX and PC systems. </P>
- <P>
- When you use Samba in a workgroup, the shares that the server offers
- must be listed with a server in the workgroup known as the <I>master
- browser</I>. The master browser server makes this list available so that
- users can choose the shares that they need. If a workgroup contains
- clients and servers on more than one network, each master browser
- reports its list of shares to the <I>domain master</I>, which makes the
- entire list available to the workgroup. The Gateway server may act as
- the master browser and the domain master in the workgroup
- configuration.</P>
- <P>
- In transactions between UNIX-based systems and PCs, the workgroup
- configuration must include a name- and address-translation service that
- accommodates the networking protocols that both types of systems use.
- This translation service is performed by the <I>WINS</I> (Windows
- Internet Naming Service) <I>server</I>, which understands UNIX and PC
- networking protocols<I>.</I> The Gateway server cannot act as the WINS
- server.</P>
- <P>
- Use these forms to configure a <EM>Samba</EM> file server on the Gateway
- system: </P>
