Samba (samba.org) is an open-source program that, in a nutshell, makes FreeBSD (or any flavor of Unix it has been ported to) look and act like a Windows machine from the perspective of REAL windows machines.
This means Samba can be used to set up network shares (file and printer) that Win.x machines on the same network can access, just as if the FreeBSD machine was an actual Windows server.
This main page will be updated as articles are added, and will act as a portal to the rest of the Samba-related content on this wiki.
These articles will cover installing Samba under FreeBSD, configuring it, and configuring the client windows machines.
