A very good guide,
By Marco (Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Official Samba 3: How to and Reference Guide (Bruce Perens' Open Source) (Paperback)
This is a great guide for all of those who, as I am doing now, are going to deploy a Samba server on a Linux box to make a domain controller in a network for Microsoft clients. One of the good sides of this book is that it gives also an interesting description on how Mirosoft-based networks work.

A printed version of the great online doc.,
By Ruslan Moskalenko "Ruslan Moskalenko" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Official Samba 3: How to and Reference Guide (Bruce Perens' Open Source) (Paperback)
The book is great, it gives you all background, detailed description, step by step guides etc. All you need to know about samba is there. However you should keep in mind that this is pretty much a printed version of http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/ , so the same content is available for free on the web site. I personally like old school paper books, that's the only reason I bought it. If you don't care, maybe you should check out the site first and it might be all you need.

The straight dope on Samba 3, authorative and indispensible,
By tmancill - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Official Samba 3: How to and Reference Guide (Bruce Perens' Open Source) (Paperback)
The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide is an ambitious work that is going to have a lot of admins slapping their foreheads and saying "Aha! So that's how it's done." Having used Samba for quite a while, but never having felt confident enough to try anything overly exotic in the office, this book helped (and inspired) me to dust off my minimal configurations and go for more complete integration with the existing Windows infrastructure. The authors are knowledgable and speak from production experience, punctuating the technical content with helpful comments and best practices for folks who depend on Samba to get their job done. The tone of the book is also realistic about explaining what's in Samba, what might be in Samba, and what's not very likely to ever be in Samba. (I think it's great that members of the Samba team can be frank, and aren't taking advantage of an opportunity to toot their own horns, promise the moon and a bunch of vaporware.) Even if you consider yourself fairly advanced with Samba configuration, this book - the distilled knowledge and experience of great number of HOWTOs and configuration examples - is likely to be useful for you. It's probably not for rank beginners, but that's part of being a good reference work for production admins. My only complaint with the book has to do with a few typos and editing problems. (LaTex can be unforgiving, eh?) Also, I found Part II, the quick start/cookbook section, to be a little repetitive, and felt that it could have used a little more editorial oversight. (Hint: Don't read it straight through - you don't need to anyway.) But Part III, which is the meat of the book, is much better done, and I'd say damn near indispensible if you're serious about bridging the gulf between Un*x and Windows technologies in your workplace. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful:

Become a SAMBA Guru painlessly :-),
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Official Samba 3: How to and Reference Guide (Bruce Perens' Open Source) (Paperback)
This book is a great step by step guide, reference, and learning tool. The organization allowed me to drill into those areas of interest without having to wade through unnecessary details. When I wanted to drill into the technology - the information was there! I was able to find concise, accurate instructions, as well as theory and background. I think it is especially helpful to the Windows skilled sysadmin who is looking to deploy or support UNIX interoperability. Having the help files at the end of the book was also very helpful. I would recommend this book to anyone who has both Linux/Unix and Windows systems!
