Free samba software for linux

Samba-Gtk is a GTK+ frontend for Samba 4.

A set of GTK+ applications that allow use of SMB- and related protocols. Current tools include a registry editor (local files and remote), DCE/RPC endpoint profiler, remote job planner (at/cron equivalent) and remote service manager.

Also contains a shared library with custom GTK+ widgets.

Samba is an Open Source/Free Software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients.

Samba is freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and allows for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based clients.

Samba is software that can be run on a platform other than Microsoft Windows, for example, Linux, OpenVMS, IBM System 390, UNIX, and other operating systems. Samba uses the TCP/IP protocol that is installed on the host server.

When correctly configured, it allows that host to interact with a Microsoft Windows client or server as if it is a Windows file and print server.

Samba is a software package that gives network administrators flexibility and freedom in terms of setup, configuration, and choice of systems and equipment.

Because of all that it offers, Samba has grown in popularity, and continues to do so, every year since its release in 1992.

NBFW is a smb forwarder. With the Samba NetBIOS forwarder, nbfw, you can browse the local windows network transparently to and from your masqueraded network.

This will most likely be of use for people who have Windows machines on a backend network who want to browse the Network Neighbourhood on the normal network though their masquarading firewall.

If your Samba is not working ok, NBfW will not work, too. NBfW can cause major problems if you dont configure it correctly. And it has ... It really helps to know what youre doing.

Samba::LDAP::Config is a Perl module to config file related tasks for Samba::LDAP.

SYNOPSIS

use Samba::LDAP::Config;

my $config = Samba::LDAP::Config->new()
or die "Cant create objectn";

# Returns where smbldap.conf, smbldap_bind.conf and
# smb.conf are located
my $smbldap_conf = $config->find_smbldap();
my $smbldap_bind_conf = $config->find_smbldap_bind();
my $samba_conf = $config->find_samba();

Various methods to find where the related Samba configuration files are saved, read them in and write them out etc. Subclasses Config::Tiny.

INTERFACE

new

Create a new Samba::LDAP::Config object

find_smbldap

Searches in usual places for smbldap.conf and returns location found.

my $smbldap_conf = $config->find_smbldap();

Returns the smbldap.conf in the scripts, if nothing found.

find_smbldap_bind

Searches in usual places for smbldap_bind.conf and returns location found.

my $smbldap_bind_conf = $config->find_smbldap_bind();

Returns the smbldap_bind.conf in the scripts, if nothing found.

find_samba

Searches in usual places for smb.conf and returns location found.

my $smb_conf = $config->find_samba();

Returns the smb.conf in the scripts, if nothing found.

read_conf

Wrapper to provide an instant error message as returned by the native Config::Tiny read method

my $conf = $config->read_conf( $filename );

read_string

Overrides Config::Tinys read_string to exclude the " " marks found in smbldap.conf and smbldap_bind.conf and remove section handling, as we dont have any [sections] in either of these files.

Also substitutes the suffix hash ( ${suffix} ) with its value.
Need to fix the smb.conf reading. Will use File::Samba or Config::Auto for it instead.

samba-vscan provides on-access scanning of Samba shares with ClamAV (clamd and libclamav), F-Secure AV, FRISK F-Prot Daemon, Kaspersky AntiVirus, OpenAntiVirus.org ScannerDaemon, mks AntiVirus, NAI/McAfee VirusScan, Sophos Sweep (via Sophie), Symantec AntiVirus Engine (via ICAP), and Trend Micro (via Trophie). It supports Samba 2.2.x/3.0.x.
samba-vscan currently is made of ten Samba VFS modules:
vscan-fprotd - for use with F-Prot Daemon
vscan-icap - for use with an ICAP anti-virus service, currently only Symantec AntiVirus Engine 4.x is supported (this is alpha code and not yet for production environment!)
vscan-kavp - for use with Kaspersky AntiVirus (kavdaemon) via Kaspersky KAV client C library. vscan-kavp is a stripped-down version from vscan-kavp of Ries van Twisk). For the full-featured version please see http://www.rvt.dds.nl
vscan-mks - for use with mks32 via mks_vir Daemon
vscan-oav - for use with OpenAntiVirus.org ScannerDaemon
vscan-sophos - for use with Sophos Sweep via Sophie (http://www.vanja.com/tools)
vscan-trend - for use with Trend Micro FileScanner / InterScan VirusWall via Trophie (http://www.vanja.com/tools)
vscan-clamav - for use with Clam AntiVirus Daemon (clamd) or libclamav (http://www.clamav.net)
vscan-nai - for use with NAI/McAfee uvscan
vsan-fsav - for use with F-Secure AntiVirus (daemon)
vscan-symantec - for use with Symantec Anti Virus Engine Note: the vscan-symantec odule will statically linked against the symantec library. This lib is not covered by GPL and the resulting vscan-symantec VFS module may infringe the GPL of Samba! Due this reason, the vscan-symantec module will only be build if --with-symantec flag is used for ./configure
Enhancements:
- NEW, VERSION, ChangeLog: updated
- icap/vscan-icap.c: bugfix
- Released samba-vscan 0.3.6b
