The Samba and NFS Status Monitor is a front end to the programs smbstatus and showmount. Smbstatus reports on current Samba connections, and is part of the suite of Samba tools, which implements the SMB (Session Message Block) protocol, also called the NetBIOS or LanManager protocol. This protocol can be used to provide printer sharing or drive sharing services on a network including machines running the various flavors of Microsoft Windows.
Is éard atá sa Mhonatóir Stádas Samba agus NFS ná comhéadan ar na ríomhchláir smbstatus agus showmount. Tugann smbstatus tuairisc ar na ceangail reatha Samba agus is cuid den tsraith uirlisí Samba, a chuireann an prótacal SMB (Session Message Block) i bhfeidhm, prótacal a dtugtar NetBIOS nó LanManager air freisin. Úsáidtear an prótacal seo chun printéirí agus tiomántáin a chomhroinnt ar líonra, san áireamh ríomhairí a bhfuil leaganacha éagsúla de Microsoft Windows orthu.
