Computer networks are often comprised of diverse systems. While operating a network made up entirely of <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> desktop and server computers would certainly be fun, some network environments will consist of <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> and <trademark class="registered">Microsoft</trademark><trademark class="registered">Windows</trademark> systems working together. This section of the <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> Server Guide introduces principles and tools used for configuring <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> servers to share network resources with <trademark class="registered">Windows</trademark> computers.

15.

Successfully networking a <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> system with <trademark class="registered">Windows</trademark> clients involves providing and integrating services common to <trademark class="registered">Windows</trademark> environments. These services support sharing data and information about the computers and users on the network, and may be classified into three major categories:

17.

<emphasis>Directory Services</emphasis>. Vital information is shared about the computers and users of the network with such technologies as the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (<acronym>LDAP</acronym>) and <trademark class="registered">Microsoft</trademark><trademark class="registered">Active Directory</trademark>.

19.

A <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> system can provide all such capabilities for <trademark class="registered">Windows</trademark> clients and enable sharing network resources with them. One of the principal pieces of software included in a <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> system for <trademark class="registered">Windows</trademark> networking is the <application>Samba</application> suite of <acronym>SMB</acronym> server applications and tools.

20.

This section of the <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> Server Guide will introduce some of the ways <application>Samba</application> is commonly used, and how to install and configure the necessary packages. Additional detailed documentation and information on <application>Samba</application> can be found on the <ulink url="http://www.samba.org"><application>Samba</application> website</ulink>.

22.

One of the most common ways to network <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> and <trademark class="registered">Windows</trademark> computers is to configure <application>Samba</application> as a file server. This section covers setting up a <application>Samba</application> server to share files with <trademark class="registered">Windows</trademark> clients.

30.

Not all of the available options are included in the default configuration file. See the <filename>smb.conf</filename><application>man</application> page or the <ulink url="http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/"><application>Samba</application> HOWTO Collection</ulink> for more details.

38.

This example uses <filename>/srv/samba/sharename</filename> because, according to the <emphasis>Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS)</emphasis>, <ulink url="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SRVDATAFORSERVICESPROVIDEDBYSYSTEM"> /srv</ulink> is where site-specific data should be served. Technically, <application>Samba</application> shares can be placed anywhere on the filesystem as long as the permissions are correct, but adhering to standards is recommended.

39.

<emphasis>browsable:</emphasis> enables <trademark class="registered">Windows</trademark> clients to browse the shared directory using <application>Windows Explorer</application>.

50.

From a <trademark class="registered">Windows</trademark> client, it should now be possible to browse to the <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> file server and see the shared directory. To check that everything is working, try creating a directory from <trademark class="registered">Windows</trademark>.
