How Samba Fits


Samba is a full-featured server system which aims at replicating Windows NT/2000 server capabilities on Unix/Posix systems.

Samba is BIG.

Samba has been ported to a variety of "non-traditional" platforms, including palmtops. What about:

  • SoHo network utility devices?
  • Cellular telephones?
  • Home appliances?

Is Samba (or CIFS, for that matter) the right tool for these environments?
