  1. SAMBA Networks Semester Project Kimberley Deninger RC Thompson Caroline Cassigneul

  2. About Samba • Turns a Unix system into a file and print server for Microsoft Windows network clients • Lets users store their files and important executables in a single place for easy sharing and backup • Recognizes and speaks the SMB protocol developed by Microsoft for file and printer sharing on its own systems

  3. Previous Work • RC’s Independent Study research • Downloaded and installed Samba 2.0.7 (www.samba.org) • Created the configuration file

  4. Our Goals • Enable communication between Windows and UNIX machines • View shared files from either system • Print from UNIX machine to Windows-based printer • Add additional users to the system

  5. First Steps • Realized that the previous downloaded version did not work towards our benefit • Downloaded and installed the binary version of Samba 2.0.7 • Binary version came with preset defaults for the system

  6. Second Steps • Installed SWAT • Web-based application to create the configuration file • Set up the system to meet our needs • Created the configuration file

  7. Connecting • Connected to all Windows machines on the network once the configuration file was tested • Used “smbclient” command • Viewed shared folders and files within each machine • Created new accounts on the Samba machine

  8. Connecting • Shared the Samba server in Network Neighborhood

  9. Printing • Changed the general configuration file to point to the printer configuration file • Enabled print option (printable = yes) • Modified printer configuration file to print on NetLaser (Networks Lab printer)

  10. Printing Problems • Knows it must print to NetLaser but unable to do it so far • Received error message from NetLaser • Shows that a connection was established • Encryption?

  11. Encryption Problems • Unable to connect to the Unix machine from a Windows machine • Encrypted passwords • Prevented printing

  12. Conclusions • Minimal instructions • Simple and useful software program • Results will be shown in the demonstration

  13. Future Work • Download and install the upgrade which incorporates the ability to get rid of the en • Encrypted password problem • View files and folders of UNIX machine from Windows machines • Print from UNIX machine

  14. Demonstration
