+<H2><A NAME="WHATIS"></A>What is Samba?</H2>
+
+<P>Samba is an SMB client and server for Unix. It makes it possible for
+client machines running Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups to access
+files and/or print services on a Unix system. Samba includes an SMB server
+to provide LanManager-style file and print services to PCs, a Netbios (RFC10001/1002)
+name server, and an FTP-like client application for accessing PC resources
+from Unix. </P>
+
+<P>To make Samba work you'll need to configure your server host to run
+<B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> whenever you connect to a certain Internet
+port from the client machine. <B>Smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> can be started
+either as daemons or from inetd.</P>
+
+<P>By default <B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> are started as daemons by the
+file <I>/etc/init.d/samba</I> in conjunction with the chkconfig variable
+samba being set to on. If you set chkconfig samba off then the deamons
+will not be automatically started on reboot. In this case you must type
+the following at a shell prompt to start samba after a reboot: </P>
+
+<PRE><B> chkconfig samba on
+ /etc/init.d/samba start</B>
+</PRE>
+
+<P>If you make changes to your configuration files, <B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B>
+may be restarted by typing the following at a shell prompt: </P>
+
+<PRE><B> /etc/init.d/samba start</B>
+</PRE>
+
+<P><B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> may be killed by typing the following at
+a shell prompt: </P>
+
+<PRE><B> /etc/init.d/samba stop</B>
+</PRE>
+
+<P>To have <B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> started by inetd you can execute
+the shell script <I>/usr/samba/inetd.sh</I> to automatically configure
+the various files and start the processes. This shell script first kills
+any running <B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B> processes. It then removes any
+existing entries for "netbios*" from <I>/etc/inetd.conf</I> and
+adds the following lines </P>
+
+<PRE><B> netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/samba/bin/smbd smbd
+ netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd -S</B>
+</PRE>
+
+<P>It then removes any existing entries for "netbios*" from <I>/etc/services</I>
+and adds the following lines </P>
+
+<PRE><B> netbios-ns 137/udp # SAMBA
+ netbios-ssn 139/tcp # SAMBA</B>
+</PRE>
+
+<P><I>Inetd</I> is then restarted by executing:</P>
+
+<PRE><B> /etc/killall -HUP inetd</B>
+</PRE>
+
+<P>If you make changes to your configuration files, <B>smbd</B> and <B>nmbd</B>
+may be restarted by typing the following at a shell prompt: </P>
+
+<PRE><B> /etc/killall smbd nmbd
+ /etc/killall -HUP inetd</B>
+</PRE>

+
+<H3>Installation Method</H3>
+
+<P>All of the subsystems for Samba can be installed using IRIX. You do
+not need to use the miniroot. Refer to the <I>Software Installation Administrator's
+Guide</I> for complete installation instructions. </P>
+
+<H3>Prerequisites</H3>
+
+<P>Your workstation must be running IRIX 5.3 or later in order to use this
+product. </P>
+
+<H3>Configuration Files</H3>
+
+<P>Because configuration files often contain modifications, inst treats
+them specially during the installation process. If they have not been modified,
+inst removes the old file and installs the new version during software
+updates. For configuration files that have been modified, the new version
+is installed and the old version is renamed by adding the suffix .O (for
+older) to the name. The no-suffix version contains changes that are required
+for compatibility with the rest of the newly installed software, that increase
+functionality, or that fix bugs. You should use diff(1) or gdiff(1) to
+compare the two versions of the files and transfer information that you
+recognize as machine or site-specific from the .O version to the no-suffix
+version. </P>
+
+<DL>
+<DT><B>/usr/samba/lib/smb.conf</B> </DT>
+
+<DD>Configuration definitions for the <B>smbd</B> program; the SMB server
+process. The default configuration sets up password-based access to home
+directories on a machine as well as open access to to all printers and
+/tmp. The workgroup is set by default to "workgroup". It is highly
+recommended that administrators review the content of this file when installing
+Samba for the first time.</DD>
+
+<DT><B>/usr/samba/printcap</B> </DT>
+
+<DD>A file that specifies the available printers on a system. It is included
+as an example; administrators may want to replace it or override the reference
+to it in the <B>smb.conf</B> file. The script <B>/usr/samba/mkprintcap.sh</B>
+was used by inst to create a printcap file that contains all printers on
+your system. You may wish to remove some printers or add a comment to each
+printer name to describe its location.</DD>

+
+<H2><A NAME="Documentation"></A>Documentation Information</H2>
+
+<P>Preformatted manual pages are installed by default as are the contents
+of the <B>docs</B> directory from the Samba distribution; consult <I>samba</I>(7)
+for an introduction. </P>
+
+<P>There is a mailing list for discussion of Samba. To subscribe send mail
+to <A HREF="mailto:listproc@samba.org">listproc@samba.org</A>
+with a body of "subscribe samba Your Name" </P>
+
+<P>To send mail to everyone on the list mail to <A HREF="mailto:samba@samba.org">samba@samba.org</A>.
+</P>
+
+<P>There is also an announcement mailing list where new versions are announced.
+To subscribe send mail to <A HREF="mailto:listproc@samba.org">listproc@samba.org</A>
+with a body of "subscribe samba-announce Your Name". All announcements
+also go to the samba list. </P>
+
+<P>You might also like to look at the Usenet news group <A HREF="news:comp.protocols.smb">comp.protocols.smb</A>
+as it often contains lots of useful info and is frequented by lots of Samba
+users. The newsgroup was initially setup by people on the Samba mailing
+list. It is not, however, exclusive to Samba, it is a forum for discussing
+the SMB protocol (which Samba implements). </P>
+
+<P>A Samba WWW site has been setup with lots of useful info. Connect to:
+<A HREF="http://samba.org/pub/samba/">http://samba.org/pub/samba/</A>.
+It is maintained by Paul Blackman (thanks Paul!). You can contact him at
