Samba TNG is a fork of Samba, a free software re-implementation of SMB/CIFS networking protocol for Unix-like systems. Like Samba, Samba TNG provides file, print and login services for various Microsoft Windows clients, much like Windows NT 4 with its abilities. However, the two programs differ in their implementation of certain features.

History

Samba TNG was forked in late 1999, after disagreements between the Samba Team leaders and Luke Leighton about the directions of the Samba project. They failed to come to an agreement on a development transition path which allowed the research version of Samba he was developing (known at the time as Samba-NTDOM) to slowly be integrated into Samba.

Since the project started, development has been minimal due to a lack of developers. As such the Samba TNG team frequently recommends to people who are unsure of which program to use to try Samba instead, as they have more developers and are able to support more platforms and situations. [cite web

Project Goals

One of the key goals of the Samba TNG project is to rewrite all of the NT Domains services as FreeDCE projects. [cite web

] Making this rewriting goal difficult is the fact that services were all developed manually through network reverse-engineering, with limited or no reference to DCE/RPC documentation. Fact|date=February 2008

Differences

The key differences between the two programs are in the implementation of the NT Domains suite of protocols and MSRPC services. Samba makes all the NT Domains services available from a single place, whereas Samba TNG has separated each service into its own program. Fact|date=February 2008

amba TNG in ReactOS

ReactOS has started using Samba TNG services for its SMB implementation. The developers of both projects were interested in seeing the Samba TNG design used to help get ReactOS talking to Windows networks. They have been working together to adapt the network code and build system. The multi-layered and modular approach made it easy to port each service to ReactOS. [cite web
