--- Open the original code plan team to release their latest UNIX, Linux file server applications
(Report from IDG News Service Reporter Robert McMillan from Idg News Service Reporter) (September 25, 2003)
Thursday, the researchers dedicated to developing the original Samba plan will publish the first major UNIX, Linux file server application for two years.
According to Jeremy Allison, one of the priests, after four months of bug detection, the Samba Work Team from all over the world voluntarily participated in the SAMBA work team prepared to publish the original code of Samba 3.0 of the "Gold Edition". He said that the most important thing is that this version will be favored by large company lines, and they will also give it to assist in the characteristics of Samba 3.0.
Since Samba in 1991, it has always been a very popular set of Linux operating system software. Its functionality is widely used in Microsoft Systems, which is widely used in the network's CIFS (CommON Internet File System) transfer protocol, including file sharing, printing and authentication.
A lot of dealers including IBM, HP, and Silicon Graphics have put Samba in UNIX and Linux systems.
The latest version of Sambab allows users to easily move Windows NT 4 to
On Samba, Samba also allows Samba to make full use of the Dynamic Directory service included in the Microsoft Windows2000 and Windows2003 products.
Samba can now support the specification of the Kerberos certification protocol and Microsoft's LADP directory service in the dynamic directory (Active Directory) means that in the Windows domain, Samba can now more closely combine the Active Directory network. . Samba's R & D staff Gerald Carter said that the system administrator can easily use Windows Management Tools to manipulate the SAMBER server.
Carter pointed out that the old version of Samber2.2 is different. He said that Samba2.2 is like NT servers, while Samba3.0 is like a Windows2000 server.
Stephen F. Henderson, said that the Active Directory is more closely combined to make Samba's security, he is the supervisor of an engineering network service. It is currently using Samba to serve 1,200 in Auburn Universuty (located in Auburn, Alabama). Client. With the link function of these Samba3.0, he said he can use the user's access token to do an identity between the Windows system computer and the Samba server in the Windows system computer and Samba servers using Active Directory.
He also said that we have now assume that all materials directly from Active Directory Server are legal, but this is really unpleasant.
Samba also supports Microsoft's SMB (Server Message Block) communication protocol, which is a lower level of security protocol that is used to prevent malicious hackers from modifying network communications between CIFS clients and servers. Of course, Samba also has new internationalization characteristics, which will enable it to support Microsoft clients using various distinct suits.
