Microsoft renamed the SMB protocol to CIFS during - the Internet hype in the 1990s. At about the time that the SMB protocol was renamed - to CIFS, an additional dialect of the SMB protocol was in development. The need for the - deployment of the NetBIOS layer was also removed, thus paving the way for use of the SMB - protocol natively over TCP/IP (known as NetBIOS-less SMB or <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">naked</span>”</span> TCP - transport). - </p></dd><dt>Common UNIX Printing System</dt><dd><p> - A recent implementation of a high-capability printing system for UNIX developed by - <a class="ulink" href="http://www.easysw.com/" target="_top">Easy Software Inc.</a>. The design objective - of CUPS was to provide a rich print processing system that has built-in intelligence - that is capable of correctly rendering (processing) a file that is submitted for - printing even if it was formatted for an entirely different printer. - </p></dd><dt>Domain Master Browser</dt><dd><p> - The Domain Master Browser maintains a list of all the servers that - have announced their services within a given workgroup or NT domain. - </p></dd><dt>Domain Name Service</dt><dd><p> - A protocol by which computer hostnames may be resolved to the matching IP address/es. - DNS is implemented by the Berkeley Internet Name Daemon. There exists a recent version - of DNS that allows dynamic name registration by network clients or by a DHCP server. - This recent protocol is known as dynamic DNS (DDNS). - </p></dd><dt>Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol</dt><dd><p> - A protocol that was based on the BOOTP protocol that may be used to dynamically assign - an IP address, from a reserved pool of addresses, to a network client or device. - Additionally, DHCP may assign all network configuration settings and may be used to - register a computer name and its address with a dynamic DNS server. - </p></dd><dt>Group IDentifier</dt><dd><p> - The UNIX system group identifier; on older systems, a 32-bit unsigned integer, and on - newer systems, an unsigned 64-bit integer. The GID is used in UNIX-like operating systems - for all group-level access control. - </p></dd><dt>Key Distribution Center</dt><dd><p> - The Kerberos authentication protocol makes use of security keys (also called a ticket) - by which access to network resources is controlled. The issuing of Kerberos tickets - is effected by a KDC. - </p></dd><dt>Lightweight Directory Access Protocol</dt><dd><p> - The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol is a technology that - originated from the development of X.500 protocol specifications and - implementations. LDAP was designed as a means of rapidly searching - through X.500 information. Later LDAP was adapted as an engine that - could drive its own directory database. LDAP is not a database per - se; rather it is a technology that enables high-volume search and - locate activity from clients that wish to obtain simply defined - information about a subset of records that are stored in a - database. LDAP does not have a particularly efficient mechanism for - storing records in the database, and it has no concept of transaction - processing nor of mechanisms for preserving data consistency. LDAP is - premised around the notion that the search and read activity far - outweigh any need to add, delete, or modify records. LDAP does - provide a means for replication of the database to keep slave - servers up to date with a master. It also has built-in capability to - handle external references and deferral. - </p></dd><dt>Local Master Browser</dt><dd><p> - The Local Master Browser maintains a list of all servers that have announced themselves - within a given workgroup or NT domain on a particular broadcast isolated subnet. - </p></dd><dt>Media Access Control</dt><dd><p> - The hard-coded address of the physical-layer device that is attached to the network. - All network interface controllers must have a hard-coded and unique MAC address. The - MAC address is 48 bits long. - </p></dd><dt>NetBIOS Extended User Interface</dt><dd><p> - Very simple network protocol invented by IBM and Microsoft. It is used to do NetBIOS - over Ethernet with low overhead. NetBEUI is a non-routable protocol. - </p></dd><dt>Network Address Translation</dt><dd><p> - Network address translation is a form of IP address masquerading. It ensures that internal - private (RFC1918) network addresses from packets inside the network are rewritten so - that TCP/IP packets that leave the server over a public connection are seen to come only - from the external network address. - </p></dd><dt>Network Basic Input/Output System</dt><dd><p> - NetBIOS is a simple application programming interface (API) invented in the 1980s - that allows programs to send data to certain network names. NetBIOS is always run over - another network protocol such as IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, or Logical Link Control (LLC). - NetBIOS run over LLC is best known as NetBEUI (the NetBIOS Extended User Interface - a complete misnomer!). - </p></dd><dt>NetBT</dt><dd><p> - Protocol for transporting NetBIOS frames over TCP/IP. Uses ports 137, 138, and 139. - NetBT is a fully routable protocol. - </p></dd><dt>NT/LanManager Security Support Provider</dt><dd><p> - The NTLM Security Support Provider (NTLMSSP) service in Windows NT4/200x/XP is responsible for - handling all NTLM authentication requests. It is the front end for protocols such as SPNEGO, - Schannel, and other technologies. The generic protocol family supported by NTLMSSP is known as - GSSAPI, the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface specified in RFC2078. - </p></dd><dt>Server Message Block</dt><dd><p> - SMB was the original name of the protocol spoken by Samba. It was invented in the 1980s - by IBM and adopted and extended further by Microsoft. Microsoft renamed the protocol to - CIFS during the Internet hype in the 1990s. - </p></dd><dt>The Simple and Protected GSS-API Negotiation</dt><dd><p> - The purpose of SPNEGO is to allow a client and server to negotiate a security mechanism for - authentication. The protocol is specified in RFC2478 and uses tokens as built via ASN.1 DER. - DER refers to Distinguished Encoding Rules. These are a set of common rules for creating - binary encodings in a platform-independent manner. Samba has support for SPNEGO. - </p></dd><dt>The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide, Second Edition</dt><dd><p> - This book makes repeated reference to <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide, Second - Edition</span>”</span> by John H. Terpstra and Jelmer R. Vernooij. This publication is available from - Amazon.com. Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR (August 2005), - ISBN: 013122282. - </p></dd><dt>User IDentifier</dt><dd><p> - The UNIX system user identifier; on older systems, a 32-bit unsigned integer, and on newer systems, - an unsigned 64-bit integer. The UID is used in UNIX-like operating systems for all user-level access - control. - </p></dd><dt>Universal Naming Convention</dt><dd><p>A syntax for specifying the location of network resources (such as file shares). - The UNC syntax was developed in the early days of MS DOS 3.x and is used internally by the SMB protocol. - </p></dd><dt>Wireshark</dt><dd><p> - A network analyzer, also known as a network sniffer or a protocol analyzer.
