Samba Team Releases Samba 2.0
=============================
World's Fastest Windows Server Software
=======================================
Canberra, Australia, January 1999. The Samba Team is pleased to
announce Samba 2.0, a major new release of the award winning Open
Source UNIX(R) file and print server suite for Microsoft Windows (R)
clients.
World's Fastest Windows File Server
-----------------------------------
Samba 2.0 has been benchmarked using the Ziff-Davis NetBench (R)
benchmarking suite, as the world's fastest Windows server, achieving
193 megabits per second file serving performance on a Silicon Graphics (R)
Origin 200 (R) server with 60 Windows clients.
Integration into Windows NT Domains
-----------------------------------
Samba 2.0 features the first non-Microsoft implementation of the Windows
NT Domain authentication protocols, allowing a Samba 2.0 server to be
seamlessly integrated into an existing Windows NT Domain. Samba 2.0 is
free from client license fees and is the perfect way to add additional
high performance Windows file servers using existing UNIX or low cost
Linux(R) machines.
New Easy to use Administration
------------------------------
Samba 2.0 features the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) allowing a
Samba 2.0 server to be easily administered via any Web browser from any
client. SWAT features an integrated help system and the ability to change
user passwords on any Samba or Microsoft Windows NT (R) server.
Award Winning UNIX and Windows Integration
------------------------------------------
Samba won the Windows NT Systems Magazine 1998 "Exceptional
Products
in Systems Management" award for Unix Connectivity Tools. In the
January 1999 awards issue Samba received the following praise :
"Samba is solid, well documented, and feature rich. It is proof that
commercial quality software can be had for free."
