14. Interoperability

14.1. Samba

Samba is a suite of programs which use NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) to enable the sharing of files, printers and other information. This package provides a Server Message Block or SMB server (also known as a Common Internet File System or CIFS server) which can provide network services to SMB/CIFS clients.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 provides the following significant enhancements to Samba:
  • Internet Protocol version 6 support (IPv6)
  • Support for Windows 2008 (R2) trust relationships.
  • Support for Windows 7 domain members.
  • Support for Active Directory LDAP signing/sealing policy.
  • Improvements for libsmbclient
  • Better support for Windows management tools (mmc and User Manager)
  • Automatic machine password changes as domain member
  • New registry based configuration layer
  • Encrypted SMB transport between Samba client and server
  • Full support for Windows cross-forest, transitive trusts and one-way domain trusts
  • New NetApi remote management and winbind client C libraries
  • A new graphical user interface for joining Windows Domains
