The page Samba is a short article on something that should have a lot more information written on it.
If you know anything else about it, you are STRONGLY encouraged to add the information in. If you are unsure of proper formatting or style, add it to the talk page or this page itself as you think best and others will help.


Note: "Samba" is just a convenient name until a final name is chosen for this component.

Samba is an implementation of Server Message Block. SMB 2 (introduced in Vista) reduces the number of SMB commands from over 100 to 19.

Samba makes use of the SMB File System

The Samba-TNG page has not been updated since December 2009 http://wiki.samba-tng.org/doku.php/start

Tridgell of Samba fame has offered help in porting Samba to ReactOS.

Samba-TnG in ReactOS 0.3.0

About

ReactOS uses Samba-TNG as its basis for Samba (due to Samba-TNG having separate services).

The key differences between the two programs are in the implementation of the NT Domains suite of protocols and MSRPC services. Samba makes all the NT Domains services available from a single place, whereas Samba TNG has separated each service into its own program.

ReactOS has started using Samba TNG services for its SMB implementation. The developers of both projects were interested in seeing the Samba TNG design used to help get ReactOS talking to Windows networks. They have been working together to adapt the network code and build system. The multi-layered and modular approach made it easy to port each service to ReactOS.

Forum topic on Samba

As oiaohm mentioned in his reply SAMBA is the Windows Networking file/printer sharing server & client to Linux/Unix this is an opensource effort to make Unix talk to Windows in it's own language, you can find it's project page here: http://www.samba.org/ What is going to be done in a near future is that some guys will port this back to the Wintel (Windows x86) platform.

The ROS team has made contact with the SAMBA-TNG guys who has promised to help in this task. SAMBA-TNG is a free non dependent branch of the SAMBA organization. Tead more about them on this page: http://www.samba-tng.org/
