Customer Reviews

Excellent! It's EASIER than you THINK!

Samba in a cinch. You pick up this book and within an hour you can have Samba running. There is really nothing to it. John Blair is a member of the Samba team, so he REALLY knows his stuff. He's also a remarkably good technical writer.All the details are here, and the index is great. If you need something that this book doesn't cover, then you're way beyond me!Have to setup Samba in a hurry? Overnight this book. The day you get it, flip through it for 10 minutes. Update the SMB.CONF file a bit. You're done - inside an hour - no question.If you want to get fancy, this book covers that too. I haven't yet seen anything that wasn't in this book. In fact, I've found stuff that was in this book that I couldn't find ANYWHERE else.Excellent book. Great to learn Samba. Great reference to keep handy afterward. Truly excellent book!

Great Configuration guide

A superb book that covers all aspects of samba Config. My only critisism is that it is somewhat out of date (latest Ver 2.05) but that is OK as the principles havent changed much. Combined with the info on the samba site this book is the bible of samba, a must have.

A reference book

It is a very well organized book, usable as a reference. However, the lates version of Samba are not cover: a kind of "release notes" would be nice.

A complete reference

This book has everything you'll need to integrate Linux and Windows on a network. It has all of the information that you just can't find in FAQ's, HOWTO's, man pages, and online documents and tutorials. Many problems which had been frustrating me for months were solved in minutes just by referencing this book.

This book is a must buy.

This book describes all the details of MS networking. From the protocol level to application level. A must have book on Windows Unix integration. But beware! This book is very technical
