5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive book on Samba, July 5, 2001

This review is from: The Samba Book (Professional Mindware) (Paperback)

You can set up a Samba-Server without this book, -- in fact without any book at all -- but I had to do some fine tuning and I found this book extremly useful. The reference is complete, and meets the newest edition of Samba. It is really a great book and I can recommend it.
