Users can choose whether to start the SAMBA server. Samba server is a free software that
implements the SMB protocol on Linux and UNIX systems, consisting of a server and a client program.
SMB (Server Messages Block) is a communication protocol for sharing files and printers on a local area
network. It provides shared services for files and printers between different computers in a local area
network. SMB protocol is a client/server protocol, through which clients can access to shared file systems,
printers, and other resources on the server. By setting “NetBIOS over TCP/IP”, Samba can not only share
resources with LAN hosts, but also share resources with computers around the world.
