= Samba for eComStation (OS/2) = [[PageOutline]] [http://www.samba.org/ Samba] is a free implementation of the CIFS/SMB protocol for Unix, which allows LAN-Server style file and printer sharing among machines running Windows, Mac OS, Unix or [http://www.ecomstation.com/ eComStation] (OS/2). The goal of this project is to port the Samba server and create Samba clients for eCS (OS/2) in order to replace the functionality of the outdated IBM-LAN-!Requester/Peer/Server components.[[BR]] The eComStation (OS/2) server port is very fast and stable, and although still incomplete, very usable for daily work. It can be used to perform the following tasks:[[BR]] * share files among eCS (OS/2), Windows, Mac OS and Unix machines, including extended attribute support. * share printers among eCS (OS/2), Windows, Mac OS and Unix machines. Please, consider the pages of this wiki to be your online documentation for Samba for eCS (OS/2)! == Official Releases == === Samba 3.0.x based releases === ||'''Release date'''||'''Type'''||'''Component'''||'''Version'''||'''Based upon'''||'''Package'''||'''Description'''|| ||11th.
