<abstract><p>
Samba is a free implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB)
protocol. It also implements the Common Internet File System (CIFS)
protocol, used by Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP to share files and
printers. </p><p>
SMB was originally developed in the early to mid-80's by IBM and was
further improved by Microsoft, Intel, SCO, Network Appliances, Digital
and many others over a period of 15 years. It has now morphed into CIFS,
a form strongly influenced by Microsoft. </p><p>
Samba is considered to be one of the key projects for the acceptance of
GNU/Linux and other Free operating systems (e.g. FreeBSD) in the
corporate world: a traditional Windows NT/2000 stronghold. </p><p>
We will talk about interfacing Samba servers and desktops with the
Windows world. From a simple GNU/Linux desktop in your home to the
corporate server that provides collaborative file/printer sharing,
logons and home directories to hundreds of users a day. </p>
