HP CIFS Server Documentation: Printed and Online
The set of documentation that comprises the information you will need to explore the full features and
capabilities of the HP CIFS product consists of non-HP books available at most technical bookstores, and
this printed and online manual HP CIFS Server Administrator's Guide available on the following web site:
http;//www.docs.hp.com
A list of current recommended non-HP Samba documentation is:
• The Official Samb-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide by John H. Terpstra and Jelmer R. Vernooij, Editors,
ISBN: 0-13-145355-6.
• Samb-3 By Example Practical exercises to Successful Deployment by John H. Terpstra, ISBN:
0-13-147221-6.
• Using Samba, 2nd Edition Robert Eckstein, David Collier-Brown, Peter Kelly and Jay Ts. (O'Reilly,
2000), ISBN: 0-596-00256-4..
• Samba, Integrating UNIX and Windows by John D Blair (Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc., 1998),
ISBN: 1-57831-006-7.
• Samba Web site: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs.
When using the HP CIFS product, HP recommends that you refer to The Samba HOWTO Collection and
Samba-3 by Example, shipped with the product in the /opt/samba/docs directory. The book, Using
Samba, 2nd Edition , can also be found in /opt/samba/swat/using_samba. All three books are also
available through Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT).
IMPORTANT: The book Using Samba, 2nd Edition describes a previous version of Samba (V.2.0.4).
However, much of the information in Using Samba, 2nd Edition is applicable to this version of the CIFS
Server. Readers should always use the HP-provided Samba man pages or the SWAT help facility for the
most definitive information on the HP CIFS server.
NOTE: Please note that non-HP Samba documentation sometimes includes descriptions of features and
functionality planned for future releases of Samba. The authors of these books do not always provide
information indicating which features are in existing releases and which features will be available in future
Samba releases.
