How to Install Samba Server on Ubuntu 16.04
Samba contains several programs that serve different but related purposes, the most important two of which are:
- smbd: provides SMB/CIFS service (file sharing and printing), can also act as a Windows domain controller.
- nmbd: This daemon provides NetBIOS name service, listens for name-server requests. It also allows the Samba server to be seen by other computers on the network.
