Summary

Samba Pocket Reference, 2nd Edition contains quick reference material that administrators need once they've set up Samba, the program that enables end users to access a company's shared computing resources. Once the program is up and running, administrators often need to look up an option or command for the purposes of supporting a new user, tuning the system, debugging a problem, or some other routine activity. This book is a convenient memory-jogger for Samba's hundreds of configuration options and its many complicated commands. With this updated edition they'll be able to find the exact command or option, with proper syntax, among the large number available. A great companion to our best- selling book, Using Samba, 2nd Edition.
