This is a port of Samba 1.9.15p8.

Samba is software for sharing files and printers with Winslows machines
(3.1, 3.11, '95, NT, ...), OS\2 and other machines running Samba.

What can Samba do?
==================

Here is a very short list of what Samba includes, and what it does

- a SMB server, to provide LanManager style file and print services to PCs

- a Netbios (rfc1001/1002) nameserver

- a FTP-like SMB client so you can access PC resources (disks and
  printers) from Amigas

- a tar extension to the client for backing up PCs

What is different to the other Amiga port of Samba?
===================================================

- It works! Even if you don't have an ancient (pre 42.0) version of
  ixemul.library installed.

- Requires ixemul.library 43.1 (or later) and ixnet.library 1.0 (or later).

- It supports both AmiTCP and AS-225R2 compatible TCP/IP protocol stacks
  (future versions of ixnet.library may support other stacks if needed).

- No stack size problems -> no crashes just because you forgot to set a
  bigger stack size. The stack is automatically extended as needed.

- Passwords work!

- This port includes the client programmes too.

- This port inlcudes the manual pages, both formatted and unformatted. This
  means you actually have a chance of setting it up!

- Should work even on a plain 68000 (untested).

- Printing may work, but I haven't tested this at all.

- Doesn't work in stand-alone mode, it has to be started from inetd. This is
  not much of a problem, fortunately.

- smbstatus pops up requesters asking for proc:. These can be ignored.

- Requires ETC: and TMP: to be assigned to the correct directories. This is
  annoying, but given all the above features, I can live with it.

Requirements
============

- Amiga OS 2.04 (2.0 might work too)

- MC68000 or better

- ixemul.library 43.1 (or later). Can be found on Aminet in dev/gcc.

- ixnet.library 1.0 (or later). Comes with ixemul.library.

- One of the TCP/IP protocol stacks supported by ixnet.library. This
  currently (ixnet.library 1.0) means AmiTCP/IP, AS-225R2 and compatibles.

- An Ethernet card (maybe Arcnet can be used too?)

Tested (and compiled) on an A4000/030 with an Ariadne Ethernet card,
Amiga OS 3.1, AmiTCP 4.0 demo, GCC 2.7.2, ixemul.library 43.1
and ixnet.library 1.0.
