About Book

Amazon.com
When Linux or Unix gets adopted by computing groups that already have users working with a version of the Windows platform, administrators overseeing the network integration of the two operating systems look to Samba to make a connection. Sams Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours furnishes 24 one-hour essential lessons geared toward quickly learning Samba for administrators charged with the task of coupling Linux or Unix with Windows.

Authors Gerald Carter and Richard Sharpe dedicate most of this book to the processes of installing and configuring Samba, distinguishing between both Linux/Windows- and Unix/Windows-based systems. In particular, they discuss the mechanics of file sharing across the dual platforms and expertly outline the means necessary to remedy common problems. One remedy includes helping you identify which version of Samba you are running and where to look for the patch or bug fix you will need to resolve it. This includes assisting you with locating utilities like autoconf that automatically compile a system configuration file for you with common default settings.

The authors also address security and password issues, as well as peripheral support for server printers. If you are looking to get Linux or Unix dancing with Windows, you would do well to get a copy of Sams Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours. --Ryan Kuykendall
