The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide, 2nd Edition Review by Joaquin Menchaca

One of the Better Books Out there on SAMBA

I tried to get started with SAMBA, but could never get off the ground using material printed in many Linux books. After going through this book, I realized many key concepts that I was missing, such as windows domain accounts to Unix account mappings and such.

This book has an abundance of information in it. Some things that look exciting were some information about the PDC/BDC style integratrion and also Active Directory Kerberos integration. There's also a section on CUPS integration.

Overall I found this resource quite invaluable. Maybe there's online material that is better, but for printed text this is one of the best books out there...
