Free samba 4 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 TNG is another SMB server for Unix-like operating systems. This software is concentrating on MSRPC interoperatability with Windows NT, 2000, XP, and 2003.
It provides PDC support and tools to remotely administer NT servers and workstations. Note that Samba TNG is currently in a beta stage. If you need advanced file/print serving capabilities, you should opt for Samba classic.
Enhancements:
- As with release 0.4, we highly recommend a working iconv library.
- Iconv is bundled with some C libraries - notably GNU libc - and shipped with almost all
- Linux systems, and some Unix systems.
- If your system does not have an iconv library, or (like Solaris) only has a limited one, we highly recommend installing the GNU libiconv, which you can find at http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ .
- Samba-TNG will still compile and run with its own iconv stubs, but this probably will not handle international character sets well, if at all.

Sambascan2 is a small bash-script, which can scan for SMB-shares in a given Netz.
The project currently needs nmap, find, smbclient, sed and grep. If you know a less agressive way for scanning on port 139, please tell me, because I thing nmap is not so polite.
sambascan2 was only written to scan in public shares and not in private ones (this may change with the time).
It is possible, that the Share have a directory with other permissions than the one needed to access it. Check the permission of the wanted directory, and if Samba can access it as the public user.
Enhancements:
- This version adds the ability to scan password protected shares, using known logins and passwords for the host being scanned.

GSAMBAD is a frontend for the Samba file and print server. GSAMBAD project features multiple local and remote user and group imports, on the fly share creation, and user handling, including randomization of usernames and passwords.

smbfax is a Unix server which allows you to print via Samba from a Windows client to a hylafax-controlled faxmodem on your server without any additional Win32 software for the client.
Its as easy as File->Print from an application, choose the network fax printer, then check your emails INBOX. You can also view and delete jobs via the standard Windows methods.
Main features:
- Allows users to "print" a document to a network printer. The Samba server then sends the document to smbfax, which prepares it and sends an e-mail to the owner inviting her to complete the fax via a web interface. The user then clicks on the provided link, fills in the fax information (recipient, comment, coverpage options, etc.) and clicks on the "send" button.
- Allows users to manage the send (outgoing) fax queue using the standard Windows method of managing print jobs (you can even select your own jobs and kill them with the delete key)
- You *dont* need to install any client software at all; no need to upgrade WINSOCK.DLL to the latest version or have some systray app running to intercept print jobs. You dont have to use any special drag-and-drop software or e-mail/web gateways with confusing attachments.
- Weve been running it for a (little) while here without any problems, it works just great;
- Its as easy as Print => Check Email
System requirements:
- Hylafax
- Perl 5.004 or better (Plus some modules)
- Apache or any other CGI-BIN webserver
- Samba
- A good POSIX system (tested under linux-2.2.16)

Gsmb provides a graphical interface allowing simplified management of the file of the Samba users file /etc/smbpasswd.

In initial Windows 95 releases, passwords for accessing shared volumes were sent as cleartext over the network. Sambda authentication used the /etc/passwd file on the server. The Windows 95 updates introduced encryption of these passwords. There are two methods for making Samba support this new authentication scheme:

- modify the register base of Win95 clients to reactivate cleartext passwords
- configure Samba so that it accepts the encrypted password

The second option is what we are interested in here.

Installation:

You can download version 0.5 (released 1999-09-30) of gsmb.

To activate the recognition of encrypted passwords, the option ENCRYPT PASSWORDS = yes should be positioned in the /etc/smb.conf configuration file.

In addition to this, it is necessary to create the Samba users file. On Redhat 5.2, this is called /etc/smbpasswd.

The Gsmb program allows the management of the Samba users by modifying this file. It uses the Gtk 1.2.0. library.

Usage:

At this point, the possibility of the program are the following:

- The function Quit presented in the menu "File" allow to quit the program (Incredible, isnt it !!)

- The function presented in the menu "smbpasswd/create smbpasswd version 1.9.x from passwd" will erase the "/etc/smbpasswd" and another one. The /etc/passwd is read and a Samba count is created for each Linux users. The /etc/smbpasswd is filled with the samba 1.9.x format.

- The function presented in the menu "smbpasswd/create smbpasswd version 2.0.x from passwd" will erase the "/etc/smbpasswd" and another one. The /etc/passwd is read and a Samba count is created for each Linux users. The /etc/smbpasswd is filled with the samba 2.0.x format.

- The function presented in the menu "smbpasswd/create another users" creates a linux users by calling the program Adduser.

- The buttons between the two list permits to create samba users. Before, just select in the linux list one or several users, select the format you want, and then click on the button with the arrows. This action will create the corresponding Samba users.

- Possibility to delete Samba users. First, select the Samba users (Dont forget the shift and crtl buttons for multiple selection) and then click on the button delete.

- You have the possibility now have a null password for Samba users. If the row for a user is red, then you have validate the Null password option for this user.

- You can disable Samba users accounts. For the format 1.9.x, the password field will be replaced by "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX". For the format 2.0.X, the "D" will be added in a field. In each case, you can see the state of the account in the first column of the samba users list.

SambaLink/Q is an application for editing the sometimes confusing and rather complex smb.conf file for Samba. SambaLink/Q 2.0.1 is Linux only and for Qt 3.
Main features:
- Qt 3 support
- Warning if not starting as root.
- Warning if not saving smb.conf to a directory without proper permissions.
- The configuration file has been updated to cover up to Samba 2.5
- The configuration file (linkq.conf) is now moved to /etc

Smb4K is a SMB and CIFS (Windows) share browser for KDE.
