Inhaltsangabe

Samba use continues to grow, particularly amongst Windows users. The

updates to the software have been extensive and this revised edition covers

structural changes and new features. Samba 3 will continue to dominate as

Samba 4 will not release for some time and will not be taken up strongly for at

least two years. Users have been asking for an updated book NOW. The

collected information this book conveys comes from answers given to

subscribers on the Samba mailing lists. Each question and answer has been

further investigated and documented. Particular coverage is given to all new

functionality and features introduced in Samba 3.0.14 (Replaceable password

backends, loadable virtual file system modules, implementation of advanced

management concepts, and much more). This book helps readers deploy

Samba 3.0.14, the latest version available this coming June. Existing Samba

users will appreciate the information on what is new with Samba 3.0.14. This

book also eases the transition for those switching over from Microsoft

Windows Server. 2003
