Samba

Samba is a freely available and Open Source software suite that enables seamless interoperability between Windows and Linux/Unix systems. It provides robust and secure file and print services using the SMB/CIFS protocol, allowing users on different operating systems to share resources easily. Since its inception in 1992, Samba has become a crucial component for integrating Linux/Unix servers and desktops into Active Directory environments, functioning effectively both as a domain controller and as a domain member. The project is supported by a dedicated community and offers a wide range of documentation, support channels, and development resources. Regular updates, including security patches, ensure stable and reliable performance. ## Bénéfices - Seamless file and print sharing between Windows and Linux/Unix systems - Simplified integration of Linux/Unix into Active Directory environments - Enhanced security features - Stable and reliable performance - Active community support and extensive documentation - Cost-effective solution with Open Source licensing - Regular updates and security patches - Cross-platform compatibility with various operating systems.
