HP CIFS Server Administrator Guide Version A.03.01.03 (5900-2006, October 2011)

• 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: Non-HP Samba documentation sometimes includes descriptions of features and functionality
planned for future releases of Samba, or that are only offered on certain operating system platforms.
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, or are specific to
a particular operating system. Hence, HP only supports features and functions documented in the
HP generated documentation such as this manual and the product release notes.
