Versie 3.6.8 van Samba is uitgekomen. Dit programma draait op Unix-, BSD- en Linux-servers, en is een opensource-implementatie van het SMB/CIFS-netwerkprotocol. Sinds versie 3 kan Samba file- en print-services aan Windows-clients aanbieden, en is het in staat om als domain controller te fungeren. Uitgebreide documentatie, inclusief praktische how-to's voor een iets oudere versie, kunnen op deze pagina worden gevonden. De release notes voor deze uitgave kunnen hieronder worden gevonden.
