I highly suggest for those new to Linux and wishing to use Samba as a server to Windows or OS/2 PC's - get the Sams Samba Unleashed. Very good foundational info on the Linux file system, what every char means in a DIR/LS listing, chmod "unleashed", etc... as well as very good info on using a Linux/Samba box as a file/print server for Windows. Logon scripts, file, print, etc... good coverage of all. I had intended to get the O Reilly book as it is the "suggested" book at samba.org, but it was not as complete as the 2 inch thick Sams book. It is also one year newer than the Samba in 24 hours - I would say that book is EOL until it is updated. Unleashed actually covers some Win2K stuff - based on the Beta III. Highly Suggested for those wanting to sneak a Linux Samba server into a Windows world! Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/
