The net- work that NIS serves is called an NIS domain. Each NIS domain has one master server; larger networks might have slave servers. And Samba is a suite of programs that enables a server to share directory hierarchies and printers with a client. Typically the server is a Linux system and the client is a Windows machine. A directory hierarchy or printer that Samba shares between server and client systems is called a share. To access a share on a Linux system, a Windows user must supply a username and password. Usernames must correspond to Linux usernames either directly or as mapped by the file that is pointed to by the username map parameter in smb.conf, often /etc/samba/smbusers. Samba passwords are generated by smbpasswd and kept in a Trivial Database named
