Samba is a terrific file sharing project - but how well can you dance?
Hear real world examples of hot to swing with Samba. We will explore
integration with existing networks, or standing up your own Samba
domain. The emphasis will be on creating a practical Samba server

few tricks, and a start on best practice. Demonstrations will be shown
as well.
