Description: a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix
The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that
implements the SMB protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve
files and printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol
is sometimes also referred to as the LanManager or NetBIOS protocol.
.
This package contains all the components necessary to turn your
Debian GNU/Linux box into a powerful file and printer server.
.
Currently, the Samba Debian packages consist of the following:
.
samba - LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix.
samba-common - Samba common files used by both the server and the client.
smbclient - LanManager-like simple client for Unix.
swat - Samba Web Administration Tool
samba-doc - Samba documentation.
smbfs - Mount and umount commands for the smbfs (kernels 2.2.x and above).
libpam-smbpass - pluggable authentication module for SMB password database
libsmbclient - Shared library that allows applications to talk to SMB servers
libsmbclient-dev - libsmbclient shared libraries
winbind: Service to resolve user and group information from Windows NT servers
python2.3-samba: Python bindings that allow access to various aspects of Samba
.
It is possible to install a subset of these packages depending on
your particular needs. For example, to access other SMB servers you
should only need the smbclient and samba-common packages.

files and printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol
is sometimes also referred to as the LanManager or NetBIOS protocol.
.
This package contains the common files that are used by both the server
(provided in the samba package) and the client (provided in the smbclient
package).

Description: a LanManager-like simple client for Unix
The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that
implements the SMB protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve
files and printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol
is sometimes also referred to as the LanManager or NetBIOS protocol.
.
This package contains some client components of the Samba suite. In
particular it includes the command line utilities smbclient, smbtar,
and smbspool. If you want to mount shares exported from Microsoft
Windows machines or a Samba server you must install the smbfs package.

Description: Samba Web Administration Tool
The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that
implements the SMB protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve
files and printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol
is sometimes also referred to as the LanManager or NetBIOS protocol.
.
This package contains the components of the Samba suite that are needed
for Web administration of the Samba server.
.
Note: if you want to use the on-line documentation that is accesible
through the Swat front-end you must install the samba-doc package.
Package: samba-doc
Section: doc

Description: Samba documentation
The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that
implements the SMB protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve
files and printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol
is sometimes also referred to as the LanManager or NetBIOS protocol.
.
This package contains all the documentation that comes in the original
tarball.
Package: smbfs

Suggests: smbclient
Replaces: smbfsx
Conflicts: smbfsx, suidmanager (<< 0.50)
Description: mount and umount commands for the smbfs (for kernels >= than 2.2.x)
Smbfs is a filesystem which understands the SMB protocol.
This is the protocol Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT or
LAN Manager use to talk to each other. It was inspired by
samba, the program by Andrew Tridgell that turns any unix
site into a file server for DOS or Windows clients.
.
If you want to use command-line utilities like smbclient, smbtar
and/or smbspool you just need to install the smbclient package.
.
Starting with the Debian Samba packages version 2.2.0-1, the old smbfs
utilities for 2.0.x have been removed. There are no wrapper scripts
that call a specific smbmount/smbumount depending on the kernel
version. If you are using a 2.0.x kernel please upgrade or use the
latest Samba 2.0.7 Debian package.
Package: libpam-smbpass
Section: admin

Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Suggests: samba
Description: pluggable authentication module for SMB password database
This is a stackable PAM module that allows a system administrator to easily
migrate to using encrypted passwords for Samba and to keep smb passwords in
sync with unix passwords. Unlike other solutions, it does this without
requiring users to change their existing passwords or login to Samba using
cleartext passwords.
Package: libsmbclient
Section: libs
Priority: extra
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: shared library that allows applications to talk to SMB servers
libsmbclient allows to write applications that use the SMB protocol.
This gives applications the ability to talk to Microsoft Windows servers
and Unix servers running Samba.
.
This package contains the libsmbclient shared library.
Package: libsmbclient-dev
Section: libdevel
Priority: extra
Architecture: any
Depends: libsmbclient (= ${Source-Version})
Description: libsmbclient static libraries and headers
libsmbclient allows to write applications that use the SMB protocol.
This gives applications the ability to talk to Microsoft Windows servers
and Unix servers running Samba.
.
This package contains the libsmbclient static libraries and headers
needed to build applications that use SMB services.

Description: service to resolve user and group information from Windows NT servers
This package provides the winbindd daemon, which provides a
service for the Name Service Switch capability that is present
in most modern C libraries (like the GNU C Library - glibc.)
.
The service provided by winbindd is called `winbind' and
can be used to resolve user and group information from a
Windows NT server. The service can also provide authentication
services via an associated PAM module.
Package: python2.3-samba
Section: python
Priority: optional
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, python2.3
Description: Python bindings that allow access to various aspects of Samba
The Samba Python bindings allow you to access various aspects of Samba.
At the moment their status is "experimental" but they have been reported
to work well.
.
See /usr/share/doc/python2.3-samba/examples for a couple of examples.
