-Description: a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix
- The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that
- implements the SMB/CIFS protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve
- files and printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol
- is sometimes also referred to as the LanManager or NetBIOS protocol.
+Description: SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix
+ Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems,
+ providing support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with
+ Microsoft Windows, OS X, and other Unix systems. Samba can also function
+ as an NT4-style domain controller, and can integrate with both NT4 domains
+ and Active Directory realms as a member server.
.
- This package contains all the components necessary to turn your
- Debian GNU/Linux box into a powerful file and printer server.
+ This package provides the components necessary to use Samba as a
+ stand-alone file and print server. For use in an NT4 domain or Active
+ Directory realm, you will also need the winbind package.
.
- Currently, the Samba Debian packages consist of the following:
- .
- samba - LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix.
- samba-common - Samba common files used by both the server and the client.
- smbclient - LanManager-like simple client for Unix.
- swat - Samba Web Administration Tool
- samba-doc - Samba documentation.
- samba-doc-pdf - Samba documentation in PDF format.
- smbfs - Mount and umount commands for the smbfs (kernels 2.2.x and above).
- libpam-smbpass - pluggable authentication module for SMB/CIFS password
- database
- libsmbclient - Shared library that allows applications to talk to SMB/CIFS
- servers
- libsmbclient-dev - libsmbclient shared libraries
- libwbclient0 - Shared library for interfacing with the winbind service
- winbind - Service to resolve user and group information from Windows NT
- servers
- .
- It is possible to install a subset of these packages depending on
- your particular needs. For example, to access other SMB/CIFS servers you
- should only need the smbclient and samba-common packages.
+ This package is not required for connecting to existing SMB/CIFS servers
+ (see smbclient) or for mounting remote filesystems (see smbfs).
