I can't seem to find the answer to the following question, not even in "Samba for Dummies". I guess the question is too simple. Anyway...
Is it okay to have more than one samba server in a given local network?
Yes, you can have as many as you want (if configured properly, of course).
Or put another way...
Do you need a samba server on each linux machine that wants to serve shares?
Yes, if you want to serve shares to smb clients (Linux, Wintendo or otherwise), you need to set up a samba server on that machine. HTH, Joop
