This concludes the chapter on CIFS/9000. We have looked at a number of configuration possibilities from setting up a CIFS server and client, and we looked at using NTLM and a Windows-based server to authenticate our users. The topic of SAMB, CIFS, SMB ”whatever you want to call it ”is getting bigger, with more and more sites building heterogeneous networks of UNIX and Windows servers providing data to an ever-increasing user -base. The Web site that maintains the most up-to-date SAMBA information and Open Source releases is http://www.samba.org. This Web site and HP's software depot (http://software.hp.com) are worth keeping an eye on to stay up to date with developments in the area of CIFS.
