Using Samba as a File Server, PDC or Domain Client

Mar 22nd, 2006 by Doug

I have a bunch of presentations I’ve given to the Greater Hartford GNU/Linux User’s Group (GHGLUG) over the past two years; I’m updating them individually and putting them back online.

The first is a presentation on Samba, and how to use it for secure file sharing (as an NFS replacement), as a Windows domain controller, or as a Windows domain client. You can download it here in the original Oo.org or PDF formats, or just check it out online:

  • Samba Howto - OpenOffice.org
  • Samba Howto - PDF
  • Samba Howto - Online Version


The Samba configuration files referenced in the presentation can also be downloaded:

  • smb.conf (File Server)
  • smb.conf (Domain Controller)
  • smb.conf (Domain Member)


Note:The presentations are licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), so feel free to modify, share or use them for your own user’s group tutorials.
