Description:

Samba provides an SMB server which can be used to provide network
services to SMB (sometimes called "Lan Manager") clients, including
various versions of MS Windows, OS/2, and other Linux machines. Samba
uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) protocols and does NOT need NetBEUI
(Microsoft Raw NetBIOS frame) protocol.

Samba 3.0 features an almost working NT Domain Control and Active
Directory support capabilities and includes the new SWAT (Samba Web
Administration Tool) that allows samba's smb.conf file to be remotely
managed using your favourite web browser. For the time being this is
being enabled on TCP port 901 via xinetd.

Please refer to the WHATSNEW.txt document for fixup information. This
binary release includes encrypted password support. Please read the
smb.conf file and ENCRYPTION.txt in the docs directory for
implementation details.
