SAMBA

SAMBA is a program running under UNIX-like operating systems that provides seamless integration between UNIX and Microsoft Windows machines. SAMBA acts as a file and print server for Microsoft Windows, IBM OS/2, and other SMB client machines. SAMBA uses the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol and Common Internet File System (CIFS), which is the underlying protocol used in Microsoft Windows networking. SAMBA can be installed on a variety of operating systems, including Linux, most common Unix platforms, OpenVMS, and IBM OS/2. Samba can also register itself with the master browser on the network so that it would appear in the listing of hosts in Microsoft Windows "Neighborhood Network".
