Samba is an freeware open source tool that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients.Samba can be run on a platform other than Microsoft Windows, for example: IBM System 390, OpenVMS, UNIX, Linux, 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.What\'s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]· Fix SAMR and LSA checks (bug #6089, #6289)· Fix posix acls when setting an ACL without explicit ACE for the owner (bug #2346).· Fix joining of Win7 into Samba domain (bug #6099).· Fix joining of Win2000 SP4 clients (bug #6301).
