Samba
Home of Samba, the SMB file server
Samba is a free software suite that implements the SMB and Active Directory protocols on Linux and UNIX-like systems. It provides file and print services to SMB clients and can integrate Linux and UNIX servers and desktops into Active Directory environments, acting either as an Active Directory domain controller or as a member server. It also supports related protocols such as LDAP and Kerberos.
Samba is described as a scalable distributed software for providing access to various cluster filesystems, supporting cloud platform-as-a-service providers, software-defined storage solutions, high-performance computing applications, and enterprise-grade network attached storage. The project is licensed under the GNU General Public License and is developed and maintained by a worldwide community. Releases are published as source tarballs with release notes, maintenance patches, security updates, and GPG-signed downloads, with commercial support available through third parties.
