- <h4>3 April 2009</h4>
- <p class="headline">Samba and GUIs</p>
-
- <p>Krishna Ganugapati recently in an
- <a
- href="http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/31/interview-with-krishna-ganugapati-vp-of-engineering-likewise-software/">interview</a>
- pointed out that
- Samba has no GUI style tools. Krishna is probably referring to Samba's
- capability to be configured by editing the configuration in the smb.conf
- file.</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li><p>Even though command shell geeks may still prefer this method, the team
- addresses the main goal of Samba to provide seamless interoperability
- with Windows clients. So, in its best sense, the Microsoft Management
- Console is the GUI. We provide the RPC-based infrastructure for Windows
- administrators to configure Samba using the tools they are used to.</p>
-
- <p>Some of those RPC services were provided a couple of years ago by
- Centeris, now renamed to
- <a href="http://www.likewisesoftware.com">Likewise</a>,
- the company Krishna is working for. Thanks for that, we hope there will be
- more contributions to Samba like that from Likewise in the future!</p>
-
- </li>
-
- <li><p>Michael Adam has done great work to make the registry-based configuration
- happen. With Samba 3.2 and even more so with Samba 3.3 you can configure
- everything you can not do via the MMC with your well-known regedit.exe
- from Windows. This very well matches expectations of Windows administrators:
- The normal day-to-day administration is done via the MMC, and when it comes
- down to fine-tuning, you need to dive into the registry.</p>
-
- <p>For an introduction to the registry configuration, see Michael's <a
- href="http://www.samba.org/~obnox/presentations/linux-kongress-2008/lk2008-obnox.pdf">paper</a>,
- presented at the Linux Kongress 2008, published in the proceedings with ISBN
- 978-3-86541-300-0.</p></li>
-
- <li><p>Günther Deschner has developed a gtk-based utility to join a
- domain. Screenshots can be found on <a
- href="http://samba.org/~gd/netdomjoin-gui/">samba.org</a>. This shipped with
- Samba 3.2.0 and can be compiled easily wherever the gtk libraries are
- available. See the <a
- href="http://sambaxp.org/files/SambaXP2008-DATA/01-07-Guenther_Deschner-joining_a_domain.pdf">slides</a> of Günther's 2008 SambaXP talk.</p></li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>We also take issue with Likewise's claim
- that pushing changes upstream into Samba is a challenge.</p>
-
- <p>The Samba project has many corporate contributors
- who have found that working <b>with</b> the Open Source/Free Software
- Community is preferable to developing a parallel
- technology under their sole control. Companies
- such as IBM, HP, Intel, Apple, Red Hat, Novell, Isilon,
- Data Domain, ReadyNAS (now NetGear) and Veritas (now Symantec) have
- worked with the Samba Team to create a shared, compelling file, print
- and authentication service that can be used by
- everyone and is developed as a community of equals.</p>
