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.

GoSamba project is intended to handle the administration of SAMBA over the WWW.
Currently it can:
- create/manage and drop SAMBA-Users
- create/manage and drop shares
- export CSV data
- config a whole SAMBA server over the WWW
- communicate in german language

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.

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

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.

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.
