<title>Introduction</title>
<para>Samba is a protocol used in different Operating Systems to share
some resources like directories or printers. This tool allows you to
configure the machine as a Samba server using the protocol SMB/CIFS. This
protocol is also used by Windows(R) and workstations with this OS can
access the resources of the Samba server.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Preparation</title>
<para>To be accessed from other workstations, the server has to have a
fixed IP address. This can be specified directly on the server, for
example with <xref linkend="draknetcenter-ti1"/>, or at the DHCP server
which identifies the station with its
MAC-address and give it always the same address. The firewall has also to
allow the incoming requests to the Samba server.</para>

install them if they are not yet present. Then the wizard to configure
the Samba server is launched.</para>

</mediaobject>If the "Primary domain controller" option is selected, the
