3. Further Information

This HOWTO attempts to explain how to configure basic SMB file and print services on a Linux machine. Samba is a very complex and complete package. There would be no point in attempting to duplicate all of the documentation for Samba here.

For further information, please see the following documents:

• The Samba documentation, available as part of the Samba distribution. The distribution is available at: ftp://ftp.samba.org/
• The Linux Printing HOWTO.
• Protocol Standard For A NetBIOS Service On A TCP/UDP Transport.
