Abstract

As we did when we studied OpenLDAP in the previous section, we’re going to start with a brief introduction to Samba. Samba is an open source implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, later renamed the Common Internet File System protocol. This protocol was originally developed by Microsoft to provide file access over the network.
