Samba X is a user-friendly installer package that ports the Samba code to Mac OS X, allowing users to easily access and share files across multiple operating systems.
Samba X is a port of the popular Samba code to Mac OS X that is open source along with an installer package that is easy to navigate. It is designed to let users share files through the CIFS/SMB protocol, which means they can share their files across different networks, allowing Windows users to access the shared files from their Network Neighbourhood.
Unfortunately, Samba X does not come with added features such as profile storing, netatalk, or smbwrappers, but these can be easily added by simply compiling it yourself.
One important point to note is that the software does come with certain limitations which are not specified in this review. Therefore, it is always recommended to read the "Read This First.rtf" file included with the installation to avoid any surprises along the way.
All in all, Samba X is an excellent choice for Mac OS X users who want to take advantage of Samba technology and share files with others over the network.
