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-2 features an almost working NT Domain Control capability 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.
