Here are some of the key points from the certification objectives in Chapter 8.

Samba Networking

  • Samba allows Microsoft Windows computers to share files and printers across networks, using the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol on the TCP/IP protocol stack.

  • Samba includes a client and a server. Variations on the mount -t, smbfs, or smbmnt command allow you to connect to a Microsoft Windows shared directory.

  • The main Samba configuration file is /etc/samba/smb.conf. You can configure it in a text editor or a GUI tool such as the Samba Server Configuration tool.

  • Samba allows you to configure your Linux computer as a member of a Microsoft Windows 9x-style Workgroup or Domain.

  • Samba allows you to configure your Linux computer as a Microsoft Windows server. It can also provide Microsoft browsing, WINS, and Domain Controller services, even on an Active Directory network.

Print Services

  • The Printer Configuration tool, which you can start with the command redhat-config-printer, can be used to configure most popular printers in /etc/printcap.

  • CUPS provides a Web-based interface similar to Samba's SWAT. Once enabled, you can get to this interface in your browser by navigating to http://localhost:631.
