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