Samba File and Print Server for SCO OpenServer from Caldera

Samba is a suite of networking products that implement the Windows SMB and CIFS protocols on UNIX and Linux operating systems. Samba enables your SCO OpenServer from Caldera system as a file and print server for Windows and OS/2 clients.

To order to activate Samba software, you must first configure it according to the instructions in "Configuring Samba on SCO OpenServer systems". We recommend that you consult the O'Reilly & Associates publication "Using Samba" for further information on configuring and administering your Samba server. Links to Samba HOWTO documents and manual pages are also provided below.
