Samba 3.0 Does Windows Even Better (Oct 28 2003 23:31 GMT) - The latest version of Samba, the free software that provides systems running Linux and Unix with Windows-compatible file and print services, now works more closely than ever with Windows. Samba 3.0, which became available last month, enables machines to join an Active Directory domain as a native member and to authenticate users with LDAP and Kerberos. For companies that use Active Directory, these improvements can make a mixed- platform server environment easier to manage. Samba now supports publishing printer attributes in Active Directory and can establish trust relationships with Windows NT 4. |
