The Samba suite is a set of programs which run under the FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
|
operating system. These programs deliver most of the important
|
|
|
|
|
functionality of a Microsoft Lan Manager server. That is, they support
|
|
|
|
|
remote access to FreeBSD filespace and FreeBSD printers from Lan Manager
|
|
|
|
|
compatible clients. In practical terms, this means that such clients
|
|
|
|
|
can connect to and use FreeBSD filespace as if it was a local disk drive,
|
|
|
|
|
or FreeBSD printers as if they were local printers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the most popular Lan Manager compatible clients include Lan
|
|
|
|
|
Manager itself, Windows for Workgroups, OS/2 and Windows NT.

Please note that if you want to use Windows NT 4.0 + Service Pack 3
|
|
|
|
|
or above as clients, you have to use -des version of samba ports.
|
|
|
|
|
-des version is not redistributable as a binary package because of
|
|
|
|
|
the export control of US. Please type make install at net/samba-des
|
|
|
|
|
in ports collection.
