Thanks.I'll start off the discussion, and hopefully, someone else will have comments on some of the other books. I'm totally biased towards, err ... myself! ... and members of the Samba Team who have written books. You can go to http://www.samba.org and select your nearest mirror site for the Samba web pages, then click on the "books" link. You are apparently in Singapore, so it would be here: http://sg.samba.org/samba/books.html Since Samba is being developed pretty rapidly over the past few years, I'd advise selecting a book that has been updated recently. This pretty much eliminates the one I'm working on (Using Samba, O'Reilly), for the next few months, anyway, although you can the first edition (1999) for free in HTML format in the Samba source code distribution, in the docs/ directory. For the moment, try SAMS Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours, 2nd Edition, which is by Gerald Carter, a very active member of the Samba Team. According to the webpage (which happens to be maintained by Jerry himself) that book was updated just last year. And if you don't mind waiting a while, the second edition of Using Samba will be available -- try searching for my name (Jay Ts) on Amazon.com. There is a listing there for it, although the description they had last time I looked was for the first edition. Also, there is Special Edition, Using Samba, by Richard Sharpe, another Samba Team member. It was updated in 2000. There was one more book I which I could mention - I glanced at it once in a book store, and thought it was pretty decent, but I don't remember the title or author. Any other recommendations? Jay Ts

The one other book I rely on, besides "Using Samba" is "SAMBA Essentials for Windows Administrators" by Gary Wilson (ISBN 0-13-040942-1). It really good if you're coming from a Microsoft background versus a UNIX background. Marion D.
