Linuxlandit & The Conqueror Worm: Linux and Windows Integration with Samba

Many computing environments today house a variety of different operating systems, including UNIX, Windows, and System 7. In these
heterogeneous environments, configuring each operating system to share files and printers can be a daunting task.
Samba, which this chapter introduces, eases the administrator's burden by allowing Windows users to access Linux files and vice- versa. Emulating Windows' native file- sharing capability makes a Linux Samba server a
powerful network addition.
