Since this book's first edition, the Windows world has undergone dramatic change with the release of Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP, and new features that permit seamless use of all machines in a Windows domain. Samba has responded with new versions (2.0 through 2.2) that not only accommodate those systems, but also make the Samba server itself more useful. The second edition of Using Samba, 2nd Edition thoroughly covers configuration of the new Samba versions, including the SWAT graphical configuration tool. The book also explores Samba's new role as a secondary domain controller, its support for the use of Windows 2000 security on the host Unix system, and Samba's better integration with SSL security. Everything is here, from basic installation and configuration to advanced topics in security, troubleshooting, and special environments.
