Hi Team, I am new to Samba. As company has decided to install Linux based file and print server, we are planning to use Samba and LDAP But prior to proceed further, I wanted to know how samba works, what all things needs to be considered at the time of installation. So can any one let me know the same? Thanks & Regards Mandar Kulkarni
hi, if you are really new to samba i suggest you to use a distro which is already configured for your needs which may be SuSE Linux Enterprise ser. 9. Especialy 2 CPU version is very cheap. byes..> > > > > Hi Team, > > I am new to Samba. > As company has decided to install Linux based file and print server, we > are > planning to use Samba and LDAP > > But prior to proceed further, I wanted to know how samba works, what all > things needs to be considered at the time of installation. > > So can any one let me know the same? > > Thanks & Regards > Mandar Kulkarni > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba >

You can purchase the book from Amazon.Com or download it from the Samba web site at: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf Samba with LDAP is covered in Chapter 6. I hope this helps you.

In pre-packaged Linux distros, you may only need to edit some settings and you will be ready to go. However, if you panic on security issues (which I do a lot), you will need to know how Samba works and Samba3-howto comes in handy. Rather, if you want Samba for bigger purposes than this, knowing a lot more really helps. There are numerous tools that can help you with any of these. Ask for more if you need. Prakash
