The Samba suite is a set of programs which run under the FreeBSD operating system. These programs deliver most of the important functionality of a Microsoft Lan Manager server. That is, they support remote access to FreeBSD filespace and FreeBSD printers from Lan Manager compatible clients. In practical terms, this means that such clients can connect to and use FreeBSD filespace as if it was a local disk drive, or FreeBSD printers as if they were local printers. Some of the most popular Lan Manager compatible clients include Lan Manager itself, Windows for Workgroups, OS/2 and Windows NT. Please note that if you want to use Windows NT 4.0 + Service Pack 3 or above as clients, you have to use -des version of samba ports. -des version is not redistributable as a binary package because of the export control of US. Please type make install at net/samba-des in ports collection.
