Using Samba. A File and Print Server for Heterogenous Networks

Robert Eckstein enjoys dabbling with just about anything related to computers. From rendering to electronic commerce to compiler construction to fuzzy logic, most of his friends agree that Robert spends far too much time in front of a computer screen. At O'Reilly, Robert works mostly on Java books (notably Java Swing) and is also responsible for the XML Pocket Reference and Webmaster in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition. In his spare time he has been known to provide online coverage for popular conferences. He also writes articles for JavaWorld magazine. Robert holds bachelor's degrees in computer science and communications from Trinity University. In the past, he has worked for the USAA insurance company and more recently spent four years with Motorola's cellular software division. He now lives in Austin, Texas, with his newlywed Michelle -- they both hope to adopt a talking puppy soon. David Collier-Brown is a consulting systems integrator, currently working for the performance and engineering group at Sun Opcom in Toronto. In his spare time he reads assiduously, keeps score for his wife's baseball team and, in the two weeks of the local summer, sails from Toronto's outer harbor. Peter Kelly works on his own as a Systems Consultant in Toronto, Canada specializing in Internet and network security. Peter is currently finishing exams to be an MCSE, but prefers to work with Linux when he can. When Peter is not working, he enjoys playing golf and reading about security, networking, and Calvin & Hobbes.
