It makes it possible for -client machines running Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups to access -files and/or print services on a Unix system. Samba includes an SMB server -to provide LanManager-style file and print services to PCs, a Netbios (RFC10001/1002) -name server, and an FTP-like client application for accessing PC resources -from Unix. </P> - -<P>To make Samba work you'll need to configure your server host to run -<B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> whenever you connect to a certain Internet -port from the client machine. <B>Smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> can be started -either as daemons or from inetd.</P> - -<P>By default <B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> are started as daemons by the -file <I>/etc/init.d/samba</I> in conjunction with the chkconfig variable -samba being set to on. If you set chkconfig samba off then the deamons -will not be automatically started on reboot. In this case you must type -the following at a shell prompt to start samba after a reboot: </P> - -<PRE><B> chkconfig samba on - /etc/init.d/samba start</B> -</PRE> - -<P>If you make changes to your configuration files, <B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> -may be restarted by typing the following at a shell prompt: </P> - -<PRE><B> /etc/init.d/samba start</B> -</PRE> - -<P><B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> may be killed by typing the following at -a shell prompt: </P> - -<PRE><B> /etc/init.d/samba stop</B> -</PRE> - -<P>To have <B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> started by inetd you can execute -the shell script <I>/usr/samba/inetd.sh</I> to automatically configure -the various files and start the processes.
