+ <title>A Distributed 2000-User Network</title>
+
+<para>
+There is something indeed mystical about things that are
+big. Large networks exhibit a certain magnetism and exude a sense of
+importance that obscures reality. You and I know that it is no more
+difficult to secure a large network than it is a small one. We all
+know that over and above a particular number of network clients, the
+rules no longer change; the only real dynamic is the size of the domain
+(much like a kingdom) over which the network ruler (oops, administrator)
+has control. The real dynamic then transforms from the technical to the
+political. Then again, that point is often reached well before the
+kingdom (or queendom) grows large.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you have systematically worked your way to this chapter, hopefully you
+have found some gems and techniques that are applicable in your
+world. The network designs you have worked with in this book have their
+strong points as well as weak ones. That is to be expected given that
+they are based on real business environments, the specifics of which are
+molded to serve the purposes of this book.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This chapter is intent on wrapping up issues that are central to
+implementation and design of progressively larger networks. Are you ready
+for this chapter? Good, it is time to move on.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In previous chapters, you made the assumption that your network
+administration staff need detailed instruction right down to the
+nuts and bolts of implementing the solution. That is still the case,
+but they have graduated now. You decide to document only those issues,
+methods, and techniques that are new or complex. Routine tasks such as
+implementing a DNS or a DHCP server are under control. Even the basics of
+Samba are largely under control. So in this section you focus on the
+specifics of implementing LDAP changes, Samba changes, and approach and
+design of the solution and its deployment.
+</para>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>
+Abmas is a miracle company. Most businesses would have collapsed under
+the weight of rapid expansion that this company has experienced. Samba
+is flexible, so there is no need to reinstall the whole operating
+system just because you need to implement a new network design. In fact,
+you can keep an old server running right up to the moment of cutover
+and then do a near-live conversion. There is no need to reinstall a
+Samba server just to change the way your network should function.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>LDAP</primary></indexterm>
+Network growth is common to all organizations. In this exercise,
+your preoccupation is with the mechanics of implementing Samba and
+LDAP so that network users on each network segment can work
+without impediment.
+</para>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Assignment Tasks</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Starting with the configuration files for the server called
+ <constant>MASSIVE</constant> in <link linkend="happy"/>, you now deal with the
+ issues that are particular to large distributed networks. Your task
+ is simple &smbmdash; identify the challenges, consider the
+ alternatives, and then design and implement a solution.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>VPN</primary></indexterm>
+ Remember, you have users based in London (UK), Los Angeles,
+ Washington. DC, and, three buildings in New York. A significant portion
+ of your workforce have notebook computers and roam all over the
+ world. Some dial into the office, others use VPN connections over the
+ Internet, and others just move between buildings.i
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ What do you say to an employee who normally uses a desktop
+ system but must spend six weeks on the road with a notebook computer?
+ She is concerned about email access and how to keep coworkers current
+ with changing documents.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To top it all off, you have one network support person and one
+ help desk person based in London, a single person dedicated to all
+ network operations in Los Angeles, five staff for user administration
+ and help desk in New York, plus one <emphasis>floater</emphasis> for
+ Washington.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You have outsourced all desktop deployment and management to
+ DirectPointe. Your concern is server maintenance and third-level
+ support. Build a plan and show what must be done.

+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>passdb backend</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>LDAP</primary></indexterm>
+In <link linkend="happy"/>, you implemented an LDAP server that provided the
+<parameter>passdb backend</parameter> for the Samba servers. You
+explored ways to accelerate Windows desktop profile handling and you
+took control of network performance.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>ldapsam</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>tdbsam</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>smbpasswd</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>replicated</primary></indexterm>
+The implementation of an LDAP-based passdb backend (known as
+<emphasis>ldapsam</emphasis> in Samba parlance), or some form of database
+that can be distributed, is essential to permit the deployment of Samba
+Primary and Backup Domain Controllers (PDC/BDCs). You see, the problem
+is that the <emphasis>tdbsam</emphasis>-style passdb backend does not
+lend itself to being replicated. The older plain-text-based
+<emphasis>smbpasswd</emphasis>-style passdb backend can be replicated
+using a tool such as <command>rsync</command>, but
+<emphasis>smbpasswd</emphasis> suffers the drawback that it does not
+support the range of account facilities demanded by modern network
+managers.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>XML</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>SQL</primary></indexterm>
+The new <emphasis>tdbsam</emphasis> facility supports functionality
+that is similar to an <emphasis>ldapsam</emphasis>, but the lack of
+distributed infrastructure sorely limits the scope for its
+deployment. This raises the following questions: Why can't I just use
+an XML-based backend, or for that matter, why not use an SQL-based
+backend? Is support for these tools broken? Answers to these
+questions require a bit of background.</para>
+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>directory</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>database</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>transaction processing</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>LDAP</primary></indexterm>
+<emphasis>What is a directory?</emphasis> A directory is a
+collection of information regarding objects that can be accessed to
+rapidly find information that is relevant in a particular and
+consistent manner. A directory differs from a database in that it is
+generally more often searched (read) than updated. As a consequence, the
+information is organized to facilitate read access rather than to
+support transaction processing.</para>
+
+<para>

+<indexterm><primary>LDAP</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>master</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>slave</primary></indexterm>
+The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) differs
+considerably from a traditional database. It has a simple search
+facility that uniquely makes a highly preferred mechanism for managing
+user identities. LDAP provides a scalable mechanism for distributing
+the data repository and for keeping all copies (slaves) in sync with
+the master repository.</para>
+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>identity management</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>Active Directory</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>OpenLDAP</primary></indexterm>
+Samba is a flexible and powerful file and print sharing
+technology. It can use many external authentication sources and can be
+part of a total authentication and identity management
+infrastructure. The two most important external sources for large sites
+are Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP. Sites that specifically wish to
+avoid the proprietary implications of Microsoft Active Directory
+naturally gravitate toward OpenLDAP.</para>
+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>network</primary><secondary>routed</secondary></indexterm>
+In <link linkend="happy"/>, you had to deal with a locally routed
+network. All deployment concerns focused around making users happy,
+and that simply means taking control over all network practices and
+usage so that no one user is disadvantaged by any other. The real
+lesson is one of understanding that no matter how much network
+bandwidth you provide, bandwidth remains a precious resource.</para>
+
+<para>In this chapter, you must now consider how the overall network must
+function. In particular, you must be concerned with users who move
+between offices. You must take into account the way users need to
+access information globally. And you must make the network robust
+enough so that it can sustain partial breakdown without causing loss of
+productivity.</para>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Technical Issues</title>
+
+ <para>
+ There are at least three areas that need to be addressed as you
+ approach the challenge of designing a network solution for the newly
+ expanded business:
+ </para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><indexterm><primary>mobility</primary></indexterm>
+ User needs such as mobility and data access</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>The nature of Windows networking protocols</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Identity management infrastructure needs</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>Let's look at each in turn.</para>
+
+ <sect3>
+ <title>User Needs</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The new company has three divisions. Staff for each division are spread across
+ the company. Some staff are office-bound and some are mobile users. Mobile
+ users travel globally. Some spend considerable periods working in other offices.
+ Everyone wants to be able to work without constraint of productivity.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The challenge is not insignificant. In some parts of the world, even dial-up
+ connectivity is poor, while in other regions political encumbrances severely
+ curtail user needs. Parts of the global Internet infrastructure remain shielded
+ off for reasons outside the scope of this discussion.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>synchronize</primary></indexterm>
+ Decisions must be made regarding where data is to be stored, how it will be
+ replicated (if at all), and what the network bandwidth implications are. For
+ example, one decision that can be made is to give each office its own master
+ file storage area that can be synchronized to a central repository in New
+ York. This would permit global data to be backed up from a single location.
+ The synchronization tool could be <command>rsync,</command> run via a cron
+ job. Mobile users may use off-line file storage under Windows XP Professional.
+ This way, they can synchronize all files that have changed since each logon
+ to the network.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>bandwidth</primary><secondary>requirements</secondary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>roaming profile</primary></indexterm>
+ No matter which way you look at this, the bandwidth requirements
+ for acceptable performance are substantial even if only 10 percent of
+ staff are global data users. A company with 3,500 employees,
+ 280 of whom are mobile users who use a similarly distributed
+ network, found they needed at least 2 Mb/sec connectivity
+ between the UK and US offices. Even over 2 Mb/sec bandwidth, this
+ company abandoned any attempt to run roaming profile usage for
+ mobile users. At that time, the average roaming profile took 480
+ KB, while today the minimum Windows XP Professional roaming
+ profile involves a transfer of over 750 KB from the profile
+ server to and from the client.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>wide-area</primary></indexterm>
+ Obviously then, user needs and wide-area practicalities dictate the economic and
+ technical aspects of your network design as well as for standard operating procedures.
+ </para>
+
+ </sect3>
+
+ <sect3>
+ <title>The Nature of Windows Networking Protocols</title>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>profile</primary><secondary>mandatory</secondary></indexterm>
+ Network logons that include roaming profile handling requires from 140 KB to 2 MB.
+ The inclusion of support for a minimal set of common desktop applications can push
+ the size of a complete profile to over 15 MB. This has substantial implications
+ for location of user profiles. Additionally, it is a significant factor in
+ determining the nature and style of mandatory profiles that may be enforced as
+ part of a total service-level assurance program that might be implemented.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>logon traffic</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>redirected folders</primary></indexterm>
+ One way to reduce the network bandwidth impact of user logon
+ traffic is through folder redirection. In <link linkend="happy"/>, you
+ implemented this in the new Windows XP Professional standard
+ desktop configuration. When desktop folders such as <guimenu>My
+ Documents</guimenu> are redirected to a network drive, they should
+ also be excluded from synchronization to and from the server on
+ logon or logout. Redirected folders are analogous to network drive
+ connections.
+ </para>
+
+ <para><indexterm><primary>application servers</primary></indexterm>
+ Of course, network applications should only be run off
+ local application servers. As a general rule, even with 2 Mb/sec
+ network bandwidth, it would not make sense at all for someone who
+ is working out of the London office to run applications off a
+ server that is located in New York.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>affordability</primary></indexterm>
+ When network bandwidth becomes a precious commodity (that is most
+ of the time), there is a significant demand to understand network
+ processes and to mold the limits of acceptability around the
+ constraints of affordability.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When a Windows NT4/200x/XP Professional client user logs onto
+ the network, several important things must happen.
+ </para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <indexterm><primary>DHCP</primary></indexterm>
+ The client obtains an IP address via DHCP. (DHCP is
+ necessary so that users can roam between offices.)
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ <indexterm><primary>WINS</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>DNS</primary></indexterm>
+ The client must register itself with the WINS and/or DNS server.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ <indexterm><primary>Domain Controller</primary><secondary>closest</secondary></indexterm>
+ The client must locate the closest domain controller.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ The client must log onto a domain controller and obtain as part of
+ that process the location of the user's profile, load it, connect to
+ redirected folders, and establish all network drive and printer connections.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ The domain controller must be able to resolve the user's
+ credentials before the logon process is fully implemented.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>
+ Given that this book is about Samba and that it implements the Windows
+ NT4-style domain semantics, it makes little sense to compare Samba with
+ Microsoft Active Directory insofar as the logon protocols and principles
+ of operation are concerned. The following information pertains exclusively
+ to the interaction between a Windows XP Professional workstation and a
+ Samba-3.0.20 server. In the discussion that follows, use is made of DHCP and WINS.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As soon as the Windows workstation starts up, it obtains an
+ IP address. This is immediately followed by registration of its
+ name both by broadcast and Unicast registration that is directed
+ at the WINS server.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>Unicast</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>broadcast</primary><secondary>directed</secondary>
+ </indexterm><indexterm><primary>NetBIOS</primary></indexterm>
+ Given that the client is already a domain member, it then sends
+ a directed (Unicast) request to the WINS server seeking the list of
+ IP addresses for domain controllers (NetBIOS name type 0x1C). The
+ WINS server replies with the information requested.</para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>broadcast</primary><secondary>mailslot</secondary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>Unicast</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>WINS</primary></indexterm>
+ The client sends two netlogon mailslot broadcast requests
+ to the local network and to each of the IP addresses returned by
+ the WINS server. Whichever answers this request first appears to
+ be the machine that the Windows XP client attempts to use to
+ process the network logon. The mailslot messages use UDP broadcast
+ to the local network and UDP Unicast directed at each machine that
+ was listed in the WINS server response to a request for the list of
+ domain controllers.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>protocol</primary><secondary>negotiation</secondary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>logon server</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>fail</primary></indexterm>
+ The logon process begins with negotiation of the SMB/CIFS
+ protocols that are to be used; this is followed by an exchange of
+ information that ultimately includes the client sending the
+ credentials with which the user is attempting to logon. The logon
+ server must now approve the further establishment of the
+ connection, but that is a good point to halt for now. The priority
+ here must center around identification of network infrastructure

+ Unfortunately, network resources tend to have their own Identity
+ Management facilities, the quality and manageability of which varies
+ from quite poor to exceptionally good. Corporations that use a mixture
+ of systems soon discover that until recently, few systems were
+ designed to interoperate. For example, UNIX systems each have an
+ independent user database. Sun Microsystems developed a facility that
+ was originally called <constant>Yellow Pages</constant>, and was renamed
+ when a telephone company objected to the use of its trademark.

+ NIS gained a strong following throughout the UNIX/VMS space in a short

+ Security concerns and inherent limitations have caused it to enter its
+ twilight. NIS did not gain widespread appeal outside of the UNIX world
+ and was not universally adopted. Sun updated this to a more secure

+ sufficient BDCs in each location. Additionally, network

+ The network design in <link linkend="chap7net2"/> takes the approach

+ effectively from New York ought to be given a certain degree of
+ autonomy. With this rationale, the Los Angeles and London networks,
+ though fully integrated with those on the East Coast, each have their

+ When Samba-3 is configured to use an LDAP backend, it stores the domain

+ <indexterm><primary>wins.dat</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>SID</primary></indexterm>
+ How might this peculiar feature be exploited? The answer is simple. It is
+ imperative that each network segment have its own WINS server. Major
+ servers on remote network segments can be given a static WINS entry in
+ the <filename>wins.dat</filename> file on each WINS server. This allows
+ all essential data to be visible from all locations. Each location would,
+ however, function as if it is an independent domain, while all sharing the
+ same domain SID. Since all domain account information can be stored in a

+ This concept has not been exhaustively validated, though we can see no reason

+ the domain must be identical in all locations. Each network segment must have
+ its own WINS server. The name of the PDC must be the same in all locations; this
+ necessitates the use of NetBIOS name aliases for each PDC so that they can be
+ accessed globally using the alias and not the PDC's primary name. A single master
+ LDAP server can be based in New York, with multiple LDAP slave servers located
+ on every network segment. Finally, the BDCs should each use failover LDAP servers
+ that are in fact slave LDAP servers on the local segments.

+ single LDAP backend in &smb.conf; is:
+<screen>
+...
+passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://master.abmas.biz
+...
+</screen>
+ This configuration tells Samba to use a single LDAP server, as shown in <link linkend="ch7singleLDAP"/>.

+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>DHCP</primary><secondary>Relay Agent</secondary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>routers</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>DHCP</primary><secondary>servers</secondary></indexterm>
+ It is a smart practice to localize DHCP servers on each network segment. As a
+ rule, there should be two DHCP servers per network segment. This means that if
+ one server fails, there is always another to service user needs. DHCP requests use
+ only UDP broadcast protocols. It is possible to run a DHCP Relay Agent on network
+ routers. This makes it possible to run fewer DHCP servers.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>DHCP</primary><secondary>request</secondary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>DHCP</primary><secondary>traffic</secondary></indexterm>
+ A DHCP network address request and confirmation usually results in about six UDP packets.
+ The packets are from 60 to 568 bytes in length. Let us consider a site that has 300 DHCP
+ clients and that uses a 24-hour IP address lease. This means that all clients renew
+ their IP address lease every 24 hours. If we assume an average packet length equal to the
+ maximum (just to be on the safe side), and we have a 128 Kb/sec wide-area connection,
+ how significant would the DHCP traffic be if all of it were to use DHCP Relay?
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ I must stress that this is a bad design, but here is the calculation:
+<screen>
+Daily Network Capacity: 128,000 (Kbits/s) / 8 (bits/byte)
+ x 3600 (sec/hr) x 24 (hrs/day)= 2288 Mbytes/day.
+
+DHCP traffic: 300 (clients) x 6 (packets)
+ x 512 (bytes/packet) = 0.9 Mbytes/day.
+</screen>
+ From this can be seen that the traffic impact would be minimal.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>DNS</primary><secondary>Dynamic</secondary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>DHCP</primary></indexterm>
+ Even when DHCP is configured to do DNS update (dynamic DNS) over a wide-area link,
+ the impact of the update is no more than the DHCP IP address renewal traffic and thus
+ still insignificant for most practical purposes.

+ LDAP does store its data in a database of sorts. In fact, the LDAP backend is an application-specific
+ data storage system. This type of database is indexed so that records can be rapidly located, but the
+ database is not generic and can be used only in particular pre-programmed ways. General external
+ applications do not gain access to the data. This type of database is used also by SQL servers. Both
+ an SQL server and an LDAP server provide ways to access the data. An SQL server has a transactional
+ orientation and typically allows external programs to perform ad hoc queries, even across data tables.
+ An LDAP front end is a purpose-built tool that has a search orientation that is designed around specific
+ simple queries. The term <constant>database</constant> is heavily overloaded and thus much misunderstood.

+ MS Windows clients cache information obtained from WINS lookups in a local NetBIOS name cache.
+ This keeps WINS lookups to a minimum. On a network with 3500 MS Windows clients and a central WINS
+ server, the total bandwidth demand measured at the WINS server, averaged over an 8-hour working day,
+ was less than 30 KB/sec. Analysis of network traffic over a 6-week period showed that the total
+ of all background traffic consumed about 11 percent of available bandwidth over 64 Kb/sec links.
+ Background traffic consisted of domain replication, WINS queries, DNS lookups, and authentication
+ traffic. Each of 11 branch offices had a 64 Kb/sec wide-area link, with a 1.5 Mb/sec main connection
+ that aggregated the branch office connections plus an Internet connection.

+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ It is recommended to have at least one BDC per network segment, including the segment served
+ by the PDC. Actual requirements vary depending on the working load on each of the BDCs and the
+ load demand pattern of client usage. I have seen sites that function without problem with 200
+ clients served by one BDC, and yet other sites that had one BDC per 20 clients. In one particular
+ company, there was a drafting office that had 30 CAD/CAM operators served by one server, a print
+ server; and an application server. While all three were BDCs, typically only the print server would
+ service network logon requests after the first 10 users had started to use the network. This was
+ a reflection of the service load placed on both the application server and the data server.
+ </para>

+ As unsatisfactory as the answer might sound, it all depends on network and server load

+ <title>Introduction</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Business continues to go well for Abmas. Mr. Meany is driving your success and the
+ network continues to grow thanks to the hard work Christine has done. You recently
+ hired Stanley Soroka as manager of information systems. Christine recommended Stan
+ to the role. She told you Stan is so good at handling Samba that he can make a cast
+ iron rocking horse that is embedded in concrete kick like a horse at a rodeo. You
+ need skills like his. Christine and Stan get along just fine. Let's see what
+ you can get out of this pair as they plot the next-generation networks.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Ten months ago Abmas closed an acquisition of a property insurance business. The
+ founder lost interest in the business and decided to sell it to Mr. Meany. Because
+ they were former university classmates, the purchase was concluded with mutual assent.
+ The acquired business is located at the other end of town in much larger facilities.
+ The old Abmas building has become too small. Located on the same campus as the newly
+ acquired business are two empty buildings that are ideal to provide Abmas with
+ opportunity for growth.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Abmas has now completed the purchase of the two empty buildings, and you are
+ to install a new network and relocate staff in nicely furnished new facilities.
+ The new network is to be used to fully integrate company operations. You have
+ decided to locate the new network operations control center in the larger building
+ in which the insurance group is located to take advantage of an ideal floor space
+ and to allow Stan and Christine to fully stage the new network and test it before
+ it is rolled out. Your strategy is to complete the new network so that it
+ is ready for operation when the old office moves into the new premises.
+ </para>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Assignment Tasks</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The acquired business had 280 network users. The old Abmas building housed
+ 220 network users in unbelievably cramped conditions. The network that
+ initially served 130 users now handles 220 users quite well.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The two businesses will be fully merged to create a single campus company.
+ The Property Insurance Group (PIG) houses 300 employees, the new Accounting
+ Services Group (ASG) will be in a small building (BLDG1) that houses 50
+ employees, and the Financial Services Group (FSG) will be housed in a large
+ building that has capacity for growth (BLDG2). Building 2 houses 150 network
+ users.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You have decided to connect the building using fiber optic links between new
+ routers. As a backup, the buildings are interconnected using line-of-sight
+ high-speed infrared facilities. The infrared connection provides a
+ secondary route to be used during periods of high demand for network
+ bandwidth.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The Internet gateway is upgraded to 15 Mb/sec service. Your ISP
+ provides on your premises a fully managed Cisco PIX firewall. You no longer need
+ to worry about firewall facilities on your network.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Stanley and Christine have purchased new server hardware. Christine wants to
+ roll out a network that has whistles and bells. Stan wants to start off with
+ a simple to manage, not-too-complex network. He believes that network
+ users need to be gradually introduced to new features and capabilities and not
+ rushed into an environment that may cause disorientation and loss of productivity.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Your intrepid network team has decided to implement a network configuration
+ that closely mirrors the successful system you installed in the old Abmas building.
+ The new network infrastructure is owned by Abmas, but all desktop systems
+ are being procured through a new out-source services and leasing company. Under
+ the terms of a deal with Mr. M. Proper (CEO), DirectPointe, Inc., provides
+ all desktop systems and includes full level-one help desk support for
+ a flat per-machine monthly fee. The deal allows you to add workstations on demand.
+ This frees Stan and Christine to deal with deeper issues as they emerge and
+ permits Stan to work on creating new future value-added services.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ DirectPointe Inc. receives from you a new standard desktop configuration
+ every four months. They automatically roll that out to each desktop system.
+ You must keep DirectPointe informed of all changes.

+ <primary>PDC</primary>
+ </indexterm>
+ The new network has a single Samba Primary Domain Controller (PDC) located in the
+ Network Operation Center (NOC). Buildings 1 and 2 each have a local server
+ for local application servicing. It is a domain member. The new system
+ uses the <parameter>tdbsam</parameter> passdb backend.

+ <indexterm><primary>network load factors</primary></indexterm>
+ The example you are building in this chapter is of a network design that works, but this
+ does not make it a design that is recommended. As a general rule, there should be at least
+ one Backup Domain Controller (BDC) per 150 Windows network clients. The principle behind
+ this recommendation is that correct operation of MS Windows clients requires rapid
+ network response to all SMB/CIFS requests. The same rule says that if there are more than
+ 50 clients per domain controller, they are too busy to service requests. Let's put such
+ rules aside and recognize that network load affects the integrity of domain controller
+ responsiveness. This network will have 500 clients serviced by one central domain
+ controller. This is not a good omen for user satisfaction. You, of course, address this
+ very soon (see <link linkend="happy"/>).

+ This type of backend is not receptive to replication to BDCs. If the tdbsam
+ <filename>passdb.tdb</filename> file is replicated to BDCs using
+ <command>rsync</command>, there are two potential problems: (1) data that is in

+ startup the system is able to resolve all its own names to the IP address prior to
+ startup of the DNS server. You should check the startup order of your system. If the
+ CUPS print server is started before the DNS server (<command>named</command>), you

+ content:
+<screen>
+search abmas.us abmas.biz

+ <indexterm><primary>IP forwarding</primary></indexterm>
+ The host server acts as a router between the two internal network segments as well
+ as for all Internet access. This necessitates that IP forwarding be enabled. This can be
+ achieved by adding to the <filename>/etc/rc.d/boot.local</filename> an entry as follows:
+<screen>
+echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
+</screen>
+ To ensure that your kernel is capable of IP forwarding during configuration, you may wish to execute
+ that command manually also. This setting permits the Linux system to act as a router.
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ This server is dual hosted (i.e., has two network interfaces) &smbmdash; one goes to the Internet
+ and the other to a local network that has a router that is the gateway to the remote networks.
+ You must therefore configure the server with route table entries so that it can find machines
+ on the remote networks. You can do this using the appropriate system tools for your Linux
+ server or using static entries that you place in one of the system startup files. It is best
+ to always use the tools that the operating system vendor provided. In the case of SUSE Linux, the
+ best tool to do this is YaST (refer to SUSE Administration Manual); in the case of Red Hat,
+ this is best done using the graphical system configuration tools (see the Red Hat documentation).
+ An example of how this may be done manually is as follows:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; route add net 172.16.4.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 gw 172.16.0.128
+&rootprompt; route add net 172.16.8.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 gw 172.16.0.128
+</screen>
+ If you just execute these commands manually, the route table entries you have created are
+ not persistent across system reboots. You may add these commands directly to the local
+ startup files as follows: (SUSE) <filename>/etc/rc.d/boot.local</filename>, (Red Hat)
+ <filename>/etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.local</filename>.
+ </para></step>

+ The final step that must be completed is to edit the <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> file.

+ Glibc libraries. Edit this file so that it contains the following entries:
+<screen>

+ There are two essential steps to process startup configuration. A process
+ must be configured so that it is automatically restarted each time the server
+ is rebooted. This step involves use of the <command>chkconfig</command> tool that
+ created appropriate symbolic links from the master daemon control file that is
+ located in the <filename>/etc/rc.d</filename> directory to the <filename>/etc/rc'x'.d</filename>
+ directories. Links are created so that when the system run-level is changed, the
+ necessary start or kill script is run.

+ In the event that a service is provided not as a daemon but via the internetworking

+ <para>
+ The example &smb.conf; files in this chapter make use of the <parameter>include</parameter> facility.
+ How may I get to see what the actual working &smb.conf; settings are?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ You may readily see the net compound effect of the included files by running:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; testparm -s | less
+</screen>
+ </para>
+
+ </answer>
+ </qandaentry>
+
+ <qandaentry>
+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ Why does the include file <filename>common.conf</filename> have an empty include statement?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ The use of the empty include statement nullifies further includes. For example, let's say you
+ desire to have just an smb.conf file that is built from the array of include files of which the
+ master control file is called <filename>master.conf</filename>. The following command
+ produces a compound &smb.conf; file.
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; testparm -s /etc/samba/master.conf > /etc/samba/smb.conf
+</screen>
+ If the include parameter was not in the common.conf file, the final &smb.conf; file leaves
+ the include in place, even though the file it points to has already been included. This is a bug
+ that will be fixed at a future date.

+
+ <qandaentry>
+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ I accept that the simplest configuration necessary to do the job is the best. The use of <parameter>tdbsam</parameter>
+ passdb backend is much simpler than having to manage an LDAP-based <parameter>ldapsam</parameter> passdb backend.
+ I tried using <command>rsync</command> to replicate the <filename>passdb.tdb</filename>, and it seems to work fine!
+ So what is the problem?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ Replication of the <parameter>tdbsam</parameter> database file can result in loss of currency in its
+ contents between the PDC and BDCs. The most notable symptom is that workstations may not be able
+ to log onto the network following a reboot and may have to rejoin the domain to recover network
+ access capability.

+
+ </answer>

+
+ <qandaentry>
+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ You are using DHCP Relay enabled on the routers as well as a local DHCP server. Will this cause a clash?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ No. It is possible to have as many DHCP servers on a network segment as makes sense. A DHCP server
+ offers an IP address lease, but it is the client that determines which offer is accepted, no matter how many
+ offers are made. Under normal operation, the client accepts the first offer it receives.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The only exception to this rule is when the client makes a directed request from a specific DHCP server
+ for renewal of the lease it has. This means that under normal circumstances there is no risk of a clash.

+ <qandaentry>
+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ How does the Windows client find the PDC?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ The Windows client obtains the WINS server address from the DHCP lease information. It also
+ obtains from the DHCP lease information the parameter that causes it to use directed UDP (UDP Unicast)
+ to register itself with the WINS server and to obtain enumeration of vital network information to
+ enable it to operate successfully.

+

+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ Why did you enable IP forwarding (routing) only on the server called <constant>MASSIVE</constant>?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ The server called <constant>MASSIVE</constant> is acting as a router to the Internet. No other server
+ (BLDG1 or BLDG2) has any need for IP forwarding because they are attached only to their own network.
+ Route table entries are needed to direct MASSIVE to send all traffic intended for the remote network
+ segments to the router that is its gateway to them.

+
+ <para>
+ You did nothing special to implement roaming profiles. Why?

+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ On the domain member computers, you configured winbind in the <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> file.
+ You did not configure any PAM settings. Is this an omission?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ PAM is needed only for authentication. When Samba is using Microsoft encrypted passwords, it makes only
+ marginal use of PAM. PAM configuration handles only authentication. If you want to log onto the domain
+ member servers using Windows networking usernames and passwords, it is necessary to configure PAM
+ to enable the use of winbind. Samba makes use only of the identity resolution facilities of the name
+ service switch (NSS).

+ Oh, I did not think you would notice that. It is there so that it can be used. This is more fully discussed

+ The most frequently discussed Samba subjects over the past 2 years have focused around domain control and printing.
+ It is well known that Samba is a file and print server. A recent survey conducted by <emphasis>Open Magazine</emphasis> found
+ that of all respondents, 97 percent use Samba for file and print services, and 68 percent use Samba for Domain Control. See the
+ <ulink url="http://www.open-mag.com/cgi-bin/opencgi/surveys/survey.cgi?survey_name=samba">Open-Mag</ulink>
+ Web site for current information. The survey results as found on January 14, 2004, are shown in

+ While domain control is an exciting subject, basic file and print sharing remains the staple bread-and-butter
+ function that Samba provides. Yet this book may give the appearance of having focused too much on more
+ exciting aspects of Samba deployment. This chapter directs your attention to provide important information on
+ the addition of Samba servers into your present Windows network &smbmdash; whatever the controlling technology
+ may be. So let's get back to our good friends at Abmas.

+ Winbind can be used to create an appliance mode domain member server. In this capacity, <command>winbindd</command>
+ is configured to automatically allocate UIDs/GIDs from numeric ranges set in the &smb.conf; file. The allocation
+ is made for all accounts that connect to that domain member server, whether within its own domain or from
+ trusted domains. If not stored in an LDAP backend, each domain member maintains its own unique mapping database.
+ This means that it is almost certain that a given user who accesses two domain member servers does not have the

+ In practice, domain member servers and domain member workstations are very different entities, but in
+ terms of technology they share similar core infrastructure. A technologist would argue that servers
+ and workstations are identical. Many users would argue otherwise, given that in a well-disciplined
+ environment a workstation (client) is a device from which a user creates documents and files that
+ are located on servers. A workstation is frequently viewed as a disposable (easy to replace) item,
+ but a server is viewed as a core component of the business.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>workstation</primary></indexterm>
+ We can look at this another way. If a workstation breaks down, one user is affected, but if a
+ server breaks down, hundreds of users may not be able to work. The services that a workstation
+ must provide are document- and file-production oriented; a server provides information storage
+ and is distribution oriented.

+ to recognize where the interdependencies between the various services to be used are.
+ In particular, it is important to understand the operation of each critical part of the
+ authentication process, the logon process, and how user identities get resolved and applied
+ within the operating system and applications (like Samba) that depend on this and may
+ actually contribute to it.

+ In this example, it is assumed that you have Samba PDC/BDC servers. This means you are using

+ <command>winbindd</command> as part of your configuration. The primary purpose of running
+ <command>winbindd</command> (within this operational context) is to permit mapping of foreign
+ SIDs (those not originating from the the local Samba server). Foreign SIDs can come from any
+ domain member client or server, or from Windows clients that do not belong to a domain. Another
+ way to explain the necessity to run <command>winbindd</command> is that Samba can locally
+ resolve only accounts that belong to the security context of its own machine SID. Winbind
+ handles all non-local SIDs and maps them to a local UID/GID value. The UID and GID are allocated
+ from the parameter values set in the &smb.conf; file for the <parameter>idmap uid</parameter> and
+ <parameter>idmap gid</parameter> ranges. Where LDAP is used, the mappings can be stored in LDAP

+ One of the much-sought-after features new to Samba-3 is the ability to join an Active Directory
+ domain using Kerberos protocols. This makes it possible to operate an entire Windows network
+ without the need to run NetBIOS over TCP/IP and permits more secure networking in general. An
+ exhaustively complete discussion of the protocols is not possible in this book; perhaps a
+ later book may explore the intricacies of the NetBIOS-less operation that Samba-3 can participate
+ in. For now, we simply focus on how a Samba-3 server can be made a domain member server.

+ <indexterm><primary>Kerberos</primary></indexterm>
+ The diagram in <link linkend="ch9-adsdc"/> demonstrates how Samba-3 interfaces with
+ Microsoft Active Directory components. It should be noted that if Microsoft Windows Services
+ for UNIX (SFU) has been installed and correctly configured, it is possible to use client LDAP
+ for identity resolution just as can be done with Samba-3 when using an LDAP passdb backend.
+ The UNIX tool that you need for this, as in the case of LDAP on UNIX/Linux, is the PADL
+ Software nss_ldap tool-set. Compared with use of winbind and Kerberos, the use of
+ LDAP-based identity resolution is a little less secure. In view of the fact that this solution
+ requires additional software to be installed on the Windows 200x ADS domain controllers,
+ and that means more management overhead, it is likely that most Samba-3 ADS client sites
+ may elect to use winbind.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Do not attempt to use this procedure if you are not 100 percent certain that the build of Samba-3
+ you are using has been compiled and linked with all the tools necessary for this to work.
+ Given the importance of this step, you must first validate that the Samba-3 message block
+ daemon (<command>smbd</command>) has the necessary features.

+
+ <para>
+ The hypothetical domain you are using in this example assumes that the Abmas London office
+ decided to take its own lead (some would say this is a typical behavior in a global
+ corporate world; besides, a little divergence and conflict makes for an interesting life).
+ The Windows Server 2003 ADS domain is called <constant>london.abmas.biz</constant> and the
+ name of the server is <constant>W2K3S</constant>. In ADS realm terms, the domain controller
+ is known as <constant>w2k3s.london.abmas.biz</constant>. In NetBIOS nomenclature, the
+ domain name is <constant>LONDON</constant> and the server name is <constant>W2K3S</constant>.

+ The <command>idmap_rid</command> facility is a new tool that, unlike native winbind, creates a
+ predictable mapping of MS Windows SIDs to UNIX UIDs and GIDs. The key benefit of this method
+ of implementing the Samba IDMAP facility is that it eliminates the need to store the IDMAP data
+ in a central place. The downside is that it can be used only within a single ADS domain and
+ is not compatible with trusted domain implementations.

+ This alternate method of SID to UID/GID mapping can be achieved with the idmap_rid
+ plug-in. This plug-in uses the RID of the user SID to derive the UID and GID by adding the
+ RID to a base value specified. This utility requires that the parameter
+ <quote>allow trusted domains = No</quote> must be specified, as it is not compatible
+ with multiple domain environments. The <parameter>idmap uid</parameter> and
+ <parameter>idmap gid</parameter> ranges must be specified.

+ On a domain member server, you effectively map Windows domain users to local users
+ that are in your NIS database by specifying the <parameter>winbind trusted domains

+ the <command>getpwnam()</command> family of systems calls. On an NIS-enabled client,

+ </indexterm>
+ Microsoft Active Directory is an LDAP server that is intricately tied to a Kerberos
+ infrastructure. Most IT managers who object to LDAP do so because
+ an LDAP server is most often supplied as a raw tool that needs to be configured and
+ for which the administrator must create the schema, create the administration tools, and
+ devise the backup and recovery facilities in a site-dependent manner. LDAP servers
+ in general are seen as a high-energy, high-risk facility.

+ <para><indexterm>
+ <primary>management</primary>
+ </indexterm>
+ Microsoft Active Directory by comparison is easy to install and configure and
+ is supplied with all tools necessary to implement and manage the directory. For sites
+ that lack a lot of technical competence, Active Directory is a good choice. For sites
+ that have the technical competence to handle Active Directory well, LDAP is a good
+ alternative. The real issue is, What type of solution does
+ the site want? If management wants a choice to use an alternative, they may want to
+ consider the options. On the other hand, if management just wants a solution that works,

+The LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is an application suite that has been written in PHP.
+LAM can be used with any Web server that has PHP4 support. It connects to the LDAP
+server either using unencrypted connections or via SSL/TLS. LAM can be used to manage
+Posix accounts as well as SambaSAMAccounts for users, groups, and Windows machines
+(hosts).

+ One aspect of LAM that may annoy some users is the way it forces certain conventions on
+ the administrator. For example, LAM does not permit the creation of Windows user and group
+ accounts that contain spaces even though the underlying UNIX/Linux
+ operating system may exhibit no problems with them. Given the propensity for using upper-case
+ characters and spaces (particularly in the default Windows account names) this may cause
+ some annoyance. For the rest, LAM is a very useful administrative tool.

+ <para>
+ The next major release, LAM 0.5, will have fewer restrictions and support the latest Samba features
+ (e.g., logon hours). The new plugin-based architecture also allows management of much more different
+ account types like plain UNIX accounts. The upload can now handle groups and hosts, too. Another
+ important point is the tree view which allows browsing and editing LDAP objects directly.

+ <title>Effect of Setting File and Directory SUID/SGID Permissions Explained</title>
+
+ <indexterm><primary>SUID</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>SGID</primary></indexterm>
+ <para>
+ The setting of the SUID/SGID bits on the file or directory permissions flag has particular
+ consequences. If the file is executable and the SUID bit is set, it executes with the privilege
+ of (with the UID of) the owner of the file. For example, if you are logged onto a system as
+ a normal user (let's say as the user <constant>bobj</constant>), and you execute a file that is owned
+ by the user <constant>root</constant> (uid = 0), and the file has the SUID bit set, then the file is
+ executed as if you had logged in as the user <constant>root</constant> and then executed the file.
+ The SUID bit effectively gives you (as <constant>bobj</constant>) administrative privilege for the
+ use of that executable file.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The setting of the SGID bit does precisely the same as the effect of the SUID bit, except that it
+ applies the privilege to the UNIX group setting. In other words, the file executes with the force
+ of capability of the group.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When the SUID/SGID permissions are set on a directory, all files that are created within that directory
+ are automatically given the ownership of the SUID user and the SGID group, as per the ownership
+ of the directory in which the file is created. This means that the system level <command>create()</command>
+ function executes with the SUID user and/or SGID group of the directory in which the file is
+ created.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you want to obtain the SUID behavior, simply execute the following command:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; chmod u+s file-or-directory
+</screen>
+ To set the SGID properties on a file or a directory, execute this command:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; chmod g+s file-or-directory
+</screen>
+ And to set both SUID and SGID properties, execute the following:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; chmod ug+s file-or-directory
+</screen>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Let's consider the example of a directory <filename>/data/accounts</filename>. The permissions on this
+ directory before setting both SUID and SGID on this directory are:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; ls -al /data/accounts
+total 1
+drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 232 Dec 18 17:08 .
+drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 600 Dec 17 23:15 ..
+drwxrwxrwx 2 bobj Domain Users 48 Dec 18 17:08 accounts/
+drwx------ 2 root root 48 Jan 26 2002 lost+found
+</screen>
+ In this example, if the user <constant>maryv</constant> creates a file, it is owned by her.
+ If <constant>maryv</constant> has the primary group of <constant>Accounts</constant>, the file is
+ owned by the group <constant>Accounts</constant>, as shown in this listing:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; ls -al /data/accounts/maryvfile.txt
+drw-rw-r-- 2 maryv Accounts 12346 Dec 18 17:53
+</screen>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Now you set the SUID and SGID and check the result as follows:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; chmod ug+s /data/accounts
+&rootprompt; ls -al /data/accounts
+total 1
+drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 232 Dec 18 17:08 .
+drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 600 Dec 17 23:15 ..
+drwsrwsr-x 2 bobj Domain Users 48 Dec 18 17:08 accounts
+drwx------ 2 root root 48 Jan 26 2002 lost+found
+</screen>
+ If <constant>maryv</constant> creates a file in this directory after this change has been made, the
+ file is owned by the user <constant>bobj</constant>, and the group is set to the group
+ <constant>Domain Users</constant>, as shown here:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; chmod ug+s /data/accounts
+&rootprompt; ls -al /data/accounts/maryvfile.txt

+ You are about to use the equivalent of a microscope to look at the information
+ that runs through the veins of a Windows network. We do more to observe the information than
+ to interrogate it. When you are done with this primer, you should have a good understanding
+ of the types of information that flow over the network. Do not worry, this is not

+ <title>Requirements and Notes</title>
+ <para>
+ Successful completion of this primer requires two Microsoft Windows 9x/Me Workstations
+ as well as two Microsoft Windows XP Professional Workstations, each equipped with an Ethernet
+ card connected using a hub. Also required is one additional server (either Windows
+ NT4 Server, Windows 2000 Server, or a Samba-3 on UNIX/Linux server) running a network
+ sniffer and analysis application (ethereal is a good choice). All work should be undertaken
+ on a quiet network where there is no other traffic. It is best to use a dedicated hub
+ with only the machines under test connected at the time of the exercises.

+ Ethereal has become the network protocol analyzer of choice for many network administrators.
+ You may find more information regarding this tool from the

+ files for Windows may be obtained from the Ethereal Web site. Ethereal is provided with
+ SUSE and Red Hat Linux distributions, as well as with many other Linux distributions. It may
+ not be installed on your system by default. If it is not installed, you may also need
+ to install the <command>libpcap </command> software before you can install or use Ethereal.
+ Please refer to the instructions for your operating system or to the Ethereal Web site

+ To many people, browsing is everything that happens when one uses Microsoft Internet Explorer.
+ It is only when you start looking at network traffic and noting the protocols

+ You are about to witness how Microsoft Windows computer networking functions. The
+ exercises step through identification of how a client machine establishes a
+ connection to a remote Windows server. You observe how Windows machines find

+ The networking protocols used by MS Windows networking when working with Samba

+ You are embarking on a course of discovery. The first part of the exercise requires
+ two MS Windows 9x/Me systems. We called one machine <constant>WINEPRESSME</constant> and the
+ other <constant>MILGATE98</constant>. Each needs an IP address; we used <literal>10.1.1.10</literal>
+ and <literal>10.1.1.11</literal>. The test machines need to be networked via a <emphasis>hub</emphasis>. A UNIX/Linux
+ machine is required to run <command>Ethereal</command> to enable the network activity to be captured.
+ It is important that the machine from which network activity is captured must not interfere with
+ the operation of the Windows workstations. It is helpful for this machine to be passive (does not
+ send broadcast information) to the network.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For these exercises, our test environment consisted of a SUSE 9.2 Professional Linux Workstation running
+ VMWare 4.5. The following VMWare images were prepared:

+ The network captures provided on the CD-ROM included with this book were captured using <constant>Ethereal</constant>

+ expose all the information needed. Each capture file has been decoded and listed as a trace file. A summary of all
+ packets has also been included. This makes it possible for you to do all the studying you like without the need to
+ perform the time-consuming equipment configuration and test work. This is a good time to point out that the value
+ that can be derived from this book really does warrant your taking sufficient time to practice each exercise with

+ The <constant>IPC$</constant> share serves a vital purpose<footnote><para>TOSHARG, Sect 4.5.1</para></footnote>
+ in SMB/CIFS-based networking. A Windows client connects to this resource to obtain the list of

+ <indexterm><primary>account credentials</primary></indexterm>
+ The two packets examined are material evidence of how Windows clients may

+ default value of this parameter is <constant>nobody</constant>; however, this can be
+ changed to map the function of the guest account to any other UNIX identity. Some

+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ Can I just use plain-text passwords with Samba?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ Yes, you can configure Samba to use plain-text passwords, though this does create a few problems.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ First, the use of <filename>/etc/passwd</filename>-based plain-text passwords requires that registry
+ modifications be made on all MS Windows client machines to enable plain-text passwords support. This
+ significantly diminishes the security of MS Windows client operation. Many network administrators
+ are bitterly opposed to doing this.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Second, Microsoft has not maintained plain-text password support since the default setting was made
+ disabling this. When network connections are dropped by the client, it is not possible to re-establish
+ the connection automatically. Users need to log off and then log on again. Plain-text password support
+ may interfere with recent enhancements that are part of the Microsoft move toward a more secure computing
+ environment.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Samba-3 supports Microsoft encrypted passwords. Be advised not to reintroduce plain-text password handling.
+ Just create user accounts by running <command>smbpasswd -a 'username'</command>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It is not possible to add a user to the <parameter>passdb backend</parameter> database unless there is
+ a UNIX system account for that user. On systems that run <command>winbindd</command> to access the Samba
+ PDC/BDC to provide Windows user and group accounts, the <parameter>idmap uid, idmap gid</parameter> ranges
+ set in the &smb.conf; file provide the local UID/GIDs needed for local identity management purposes.
+ </para>
+
+ </answer>

+ <qandaentry>
+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ What parameter in the &smb.conf; file is used to enable the use of encrypted passwords?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ The parameter in the &smb.conf; file that controls this behavior is known as <parameter>encrypt

+ You've come a long way now. You have pretty much mastered Samba-3 for
+ most uses it can be put to. Up until now, you have cast Samba-3 in the leading
+ role, and where authentication was required, you have used one or another of
+ Samba's many authentication backends (from flat text files with smbpasswd
+ to LDAP directory integration with ldapsam). Now you can design a
+ solution for a new Abmas business. This business is running Windows Server
+ 2003 and Active Directory, and these are to stay. It's time to master
+ implementing Samba and Samba-supported services in a domain controlled by
+ the latest Windows authentication technologies. Let's get started &smbmdash; this is
+ leading edge.
+ </para>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Introduction</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Abmas has continued its miraculous growth; indeed, nothing seems to be able
+ to stop its diversification into multiple (and seemingly unrelated) fields.
+ Its latest acquisition is Abmas Snack Foods, a big player in the snack-food
+ business.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ With this acquisition comes new challenges for you and your team. Abmas Snack
+ Foods is a well-developed business with a huge and heterogeneous network. It
+ already has Windows, NetWare, and Proprietary UNIX, but as yet no Samba or Linux.
+ The network is mature and well-established, and there is no question of its chosen
+ user authentication scheme being changed for now. You need to take a wise new
+ approach.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You have decided to set the ball rolling by introducing Samba-3 into the network
+ gradually, taking over key services and easing the way to a full migration and,
+ therefore, integration into Abmas's existing business later.
+ </para>

+ You've promised the skeptical Abmas Snack Foods management team
+ that you can show them how Samba can ease itself and other Open Source
+ technologies into their existing infrastructure and deliver sound business
+ advantages. Cost cutting is high on their agenda (a major promise of the
+ acquisition). You have chosen Web proxying and caching as your proving ground.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>bandwidth</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>Microsoft ISA</primary></indexterm>
+ Abmas Snack Foods has several thousand users housed at its head office
+ and multiple regional offices, plants, and warehouses. A high proportion of
+ the business's work is done online, so Internet access for most of these
+ users is essential. All Internet access, including for all regional offices,
+ is funneled through the head office and is the job of the (now your) networking
+ team. The bandwidth requirements were horrific (comparable to a small ISP), and
+ the team soon discovered proxying and caching. In fact, they became one of
+ the earliest commercial users of Microsoft ISA.

+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>Active Directory</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>authenticated</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>proxy</primary></indexterm>
+ The team is not happy with ISA. Because it never lived up to its marketing promises,
+ it underperformed and had reliability problems. You have pounced on the opportunity
+ to show what Open Source can do. The one thing they do like, however, is ISA's
+ integration with Active Directory. They like that their users, once logged on,
+ are automatically authenticated against the proxy. If your alternative to ISA
+ can operate completely seamlessly in their Active Directory domain, it will be
+ approved.
+ </para>

+ This is a hands-on exercise. You build software applications so

+ Functionally, the user's Internet Explorer requests a browsing session with the

+ called <command>ntlm_auth</command>. This helper is a hook into winbind, the
+ Samba-3 NTLM authentication daemon. Winbind enables UNIX services to authenticate
+ against Microsoft Windows domains, including Active Directory domains. As Active
+ Directory authentication is a modified Kerberos authentication, winbind is assisted
+ in this by local Kerberos 5 libraries configured to check passwords with the Active
+ Directory server. Once the token has been checked, a browsing session is established.
+ This process is entirely transparent and seamless to the user.

+ Officially, neither MIT (1.3.4) nor Heimdal (0.63) Kerberos needs an <filename>/etc/krb5.conf</filename>

+ MIT and Heimdal, KRB5 libraries default to checking for these records, so they
+ automatically find the KDCs. In addition, <filename>krb5.conf</filename> allows
+ specifying only a single KDC, even if there is more than one. Using the DNS lookup

+ The following gotchas often catch people out. Kerberos is case sensitive. Your realm must

+ according to your participating servers must be within 5 minutes or you get an error:
+ <quote>kinit(v5): Clock skew too great while getting initial credentials</quote>.
+ Clock skew limits are, in fact, configurable in the Kerberos protocols (the default is
+ 5 minutes). A better solution is to implement NTP throughout your server network.
+ Kerberos needs to be able to do a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address of your KDC.
+ Also, the name that this reverse lookup maps to must either be the NetBIOS name of
+ the KDC (i.e., the hostname with no domain attached) or the
+ NetBIOS name followed by the realm. If all else fails, you can add a
+ <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> entry mapping the IP address of your KDC to its

+ <indexterm><primary>Italian</primary></indexterm>
+ The development of the <command>ntlm_auth</command> module was first discussed in many Open Source circles
+ in 2002. At the SambaXP conference in Goettingen, Germany, Mr. Francesco Chemolli demonstrated the use of
+ <command>ntlm_auth</command> during one of the late developer meetings that took place. Since that time, the
+ adoption of <command>ntlm_auth</command> has spread considerably.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The largest report from a site that uses Squid with <command>ntlm_auth</command>-based authentication
+ support uses a dual processor server that has 2 GB of memory. It provides Web and FTP proxy services for 10,000
+ users. Approximately 2,000 of these users make heavy use of the proxy services. According to the source, who
+ wishes to remain anonymous, the sustained transaction load on this server hovers around 140 hits/sec. The following
+ comments were made with respect to questions regarding the performance of this installation:
+ </para>
+
+ <blockquote><para>
+ [In our] EXTREMELY optimized environment . . . [the] performance impact is almost [nothing]. The <quote>almost</quote>
+ part is due to the brain damage of the ntlm-over-http protocol definition. Suffice to say that its worst-case
+ scenario triples the number of hits needed to perform the same transactions versus basic or digest auth[entication].
+ </para></blockquote>
+
+ <para>
+ You would be well-advised to recognize that all cache-intensive proxying solutions demand a lot of memory.
+ Make certain that your Squid proxy server is equipped with sufficient memory to permit all proxy operations to run
+ out of memory without invoking the overheads involved in the use of memory that has to be swapped to disk.

+ Problems reported by users fall into three categories: configurations that do not work, those
+ that have broken behavior, and poor performance. The term <emphasis>broken behavior</emphasis>
+ means that the function of a particular Samba component appears to work sometimes, but not at
+ others. The resulting intermittent operation is clearly unacceptable. An example of
+ <emphasis>broken behavior</emphasis> known to many Windows networking users occurs when the
+ list of Windows machines in MS Explorer changes, sometimes listing machines that are running
+ and at other times not listing them even though the machines are in use on the network.

+ A significant number of reports concern problems with the <command>smbfs</command> file system

+ <command>smbfs</command> is part of Samba, simply because Samba includes the front-end tools
+ that are used to manage <command>smbfs</command>-based file service connections. So, just
+ for the record, the tools <command>smbmnt</command>, <command>smbmount</command>,
+ <command>smbumount</command>, and <command>smbumnt</command> are front-end

+ When configured as a DHCP client, a number of Linux distributions set the system hostname
+ to <constant>localhost</constant>. If the parameter <parameter>netbios name</parameter> is not
+ specified to something other than <constant>localhost</constant>, the Samba server appears
+ in the Windows Explorer as <constant>LOCALHOST</constant>. Moreover, the entry in the <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>
+ on the Linux server points to IP address <constant>127.0.0.1</constant>. This means that
+ when the Windows client obtains the IP address of the Samba server called <constant>LOCALHOST</constant>,
+ it obtains the IP address <constant>127.0.0.1</constant> and then proceeds to attempt to
+ set up a NetBIOS over TCP/IP connection to it. This cannot work, because that IP address is
+ the local Windows machine itself. Hostnames must be valid for Windows networking to function
+ correctly.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>

+ A few sites have tried to name Windows clients and Samba servers with a name that begins

+ and <constant>collision.parrots.com</constant>. It is therefore a mistake to name the domain
+ (workgroup) <constant>collision.parrots.com</constant>, since this results in DNS lookup

+ <title>Large Directories</title>
+
+ <para>
+ There exist applications that create or manage directories containing many thousands of files. Such
+ applications typically generate many small files (less than 100 KB). At the best of times, under UNIX,
+ listing of the files in a directory that contains many files is slow. By default, Windows NT, 200x,
+ and XP Pro cause network file system directory lookups on a Samba server to be performed for both
+ the case preserving file name as well as for the mangled (8.3) file name. This incurs a huge overhead
+ on the Samba server that may slow down the system dramatically.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In an extreme case, the performance impact was dramatic. File transfer from the Samba server to a Windows
+ XP Professional workstation over 1 Gigabit Ethernet for 250-500 KB files was measured at approximately
+ 30 MB/sec. But when tranferring a directory containing 120,000 files, all from 50KB to 60KB in size, the
+ transfer rate to the same workstation was measured at approximately 1.5 KB/sec. The net transfer was
+ on the order of a factor of 20-fold slower.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The symptoms that will be observed on the Samba server when a large directory is accessed will be that
+ aggregate I/O (typically blocks read) will be relatively low, yet the wait I/O times will be incredibly
+ long while at the same time the read queue is large. Close observation will show that the hard drive
+ that the file system is on will be thrashing wildly.

+
+ <para>
+ Samba-3.0.12 and later, includes new code that radically improves Samba perfomance. The secret to this is
+ really in the <smbconfoption name="case sensitive">True</smbconfoption> line. This tells smbd never to scan
+ for case-insensitive versions of names. So if an application asks for a file called <filename>FOO</filename>,
+ and it can not be found by a simple stat call, then smbd will return "file not found" immediately without
+ scanning the containing directory for a version of a different case.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Canonicalize all the files in the directory to have one case, upper or lower - either will do. Then set up

+
+ <para>
+ All files and directories under the <parameter>path</parameter> directory must be in the same case
+ as specified in the &smb.conf; stanza. This means that smbd will not be able to find lower case

+ insecure network connection. After a client and server has used Kerberos to prove their identity,
+ they can also encrypt all of their communications to assure privacy and data integrity as they go
+ about their business.

+ Kerberos is a trusted third-party service. That means that there is a third party (the kerberos
+ server) that is trusted by all the entities on the network (users and services, usually called
+ principals). All principals share a secret password (or key) with the kerberos server and this
+ enables principals to verify that the messages from the kerberos server are authentic. Therefore,
+ trusting the kerberos server, users and services can authenticate each other.

+ Kerberos was, until recently, a technology that was restricted from being exported from the United States.
+ For many years that hindered global adoption of more secure networking technologies both within the United States

+ In recent times the U.S. government has removed sanctions affecting the global distribution of MIT Kerberos.

+ Consider another example. In this case, you want to permit all members of the group <constant>Employees</constant>

+ easily achieved by setting a share-level ACL permitting only <constant>Employees</constant> to access the share,
+ and then in the share definition controls excluding just <constant>patrickj</constant>. Here is how that might
+ be done:
+<screen>

+ comment = Application Share
+ path = /data/apps
+ read only = Yes
+ invalid users = patrickj
+</screen>
+ <indexterm>
+ <primary>permissions</primary>

+ Let us assume that you want to permit the user <constant>gbshaw</constant> to manage any file in the
+ UNIX/Linux file system directory <filename>/data/apps</filename>, but you do not want to grant any write
+ permissions beyond that directory tree. Here is one way this can be done:
+<screen>

+ comment = Application Share
+ path = /data/apps
+ read only = Yes
+ invalid users = patrickj
+ admin users = gbshaw
+</screen>

+ Now we have a set of controls that permits only <constant>Employees</constant> who are also members of
+ the group <constant>Doctors</constant>, excluding the user <constant>patrickj</constant>, to have
+ read-only privilege, but the user <constant>gbshaw</constant> is granted administrative rights.
+ The administrative rights conferred upon the user <constant>gbshaw</constant> permit operation as
+ if that user has logged in as the user <constant>root</constant> on the UNIX/Linux system and thus,
+ for access to the directory tree that has been shared (exported), permit the user to override controls
+ that apply to all other users on that resource.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ There are additional checkpoint controls that may be used. For example, if for the same share we now
+ want to provide the user <constant>peters</constant> with the ability to write to one directory to
+ which he has write privilege in the UNIX file system, you can specifically permit that with the
+ following settings:
+<screen>
+[Apps]
+ comment = Application Share
+ path = /data/apps
+ read only = Yes
+ invalid users = patrickj
+ admin users = gbshaw
+ write list = peters
+</screen>
+ <indexterm>
+ <primary>check-point controls</primary>
+ </indexterm>
+ This is a particularly complex example at this point, but it begins to demonstrate the possibilities.

+
+ <para>
+ In the following example, you want to create a Windows networking share that any user can access.
+ However, you want all read and write operations to be performed as if the user <constant>billc</constant>
+ and member of the group <constant>Mentors</constant> read/write the files. Here is one way this

+<screen>
+[someshare]

+ That is all there is to it. Well, it is almost that simple. The downside of this method is that
+ users are logged onto the Windows client as themselves, and then immediately before accessing the
+ file, Samba makes system calls to change the effective user and group to the forced settings
+ specified, completes the file transaction, and then reverts to the actually logged-on identity.
+ This imposes significant overhead on Samba. The alternative way to effectively achieve the same result
+ (but with lower system CPU overheads) is described next.

+ The use of the <parameter>force user</parameter> or the <parameter>force group</parameter> may

+ sent to the client even if the client has not opened the file. On networks that have high traffic
+ density, or on links that are routed to a remote network segment, <constant>oplock breaks</constant>
+ can be lost. This results in possible retransmission of the request, or the client may time-out while
+ waiting for the file system transaction (read or write) to complete. The result can be a profound

+ You want to add permission for <constant>AppsMgrs</constant> to enable them to

+ Execute the following:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; setfacl -m -R group:AppsMgrs:rwx /data/apps
+</screen>
+ Because setting an ACL does not provide a response, you immediately validate the command executed
+ as follows:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; getfacl /data/apps
+# file: apps
+# owner: root
+# group: root
+user::rwx
+group::rwx

+ In the world of computer networks, problems are as varied as the people who create them
+ or experience them. The design of the network implemented in <link linkend="Big500users"/>

+<caution><para>
+A significant number of network administrators have responded to the guidance given
+here. It should be noted that there are sites that have a single PDC for many hundreds of
+concurrent network clients. Network bandwidth, network bandwidth utilization, and server load
+are among the factors that determine the maximum number of Windows clients that
+can be served by a single domain controller (PDC or BDC) on a network segment. It is possible
+to operate with only a single PDC over a routed network. What is possible is not necessarily
+<emphasis>best practice</emphasis>. When Windows client network logons begin to fail with
+the message that the domain controller cannot be found or that the user account cannot
+be found (when you know it exists), that may be an indication that the domain controller is
+overloaded or network bandwidth is overloaded. The guidance given for PDC/BDC ratio to Windows
+clients is conservative and if followed will minimize problems &smbmdash; but it is not absolute.

+ <indexterm><primary>multiple domain controllers</primary></indexterm>
+ When a Windows client logs onto the network, many data packets are exchanged
+ between the client and the server that is providing the network logon services.
+ Each request between the client and the server must complete within a specific
+ time limit. This is one of the primary factors that govern the installation of
+ multiple domain controllers (usually called secondary or backup controllers).
+ As a rough rule, there should be one such backup controller for every
+ 30 to 150 clients. The actual limits are determined by network operational
+ characteristics.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If the domain controller provides only network logon services
+ and all file and print activity is handled by domain member servers, one domain
+ controller per 150 clients on a single network segment may suffice. In any
+ case, it is highly recommended to have a minimum of one domain controller (PDC or BDC)
+ per network segment. It is better to have at least one BDC on the network
+ segment that has a PDC. If the domain controller is also used as a file and
+ print server, the number of clients it can service reliably is reduced,
+ and a common rule is not to exceed 30 machines (Windows workstations plus
+ domain member servers) per domain controller.

+ The POSIX and SambaSAMAccount components of computer (machine) accounts are both used by Samba.
+ That is, machine accounts are treated inside Samba in the same way that Windows NT4/200X treats
+ them. A user account and a machine account are indistinguishable from each other, except that

+ The need for Windows user, group, machine, trust, and other such accounts to be tied to a valid UNIX UID

+ The resolution of a UID from the Windows SID is achieved within Samba through a mechanism that
+ must refer back to the host operating system on which Samba is running. The name service
+ switch (NSS) is the preferred mechanism that shields applications (like Samba) from the
+ need to know everything about every host OS it runs on.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Samba asks the host OS to provide a UID via the <quote>passwd</quote>, <quote>shadow</quote>
+ and <quote>group</quote> facilities in the NSS control (configuration) file. The best tool
+ for achieving this is left up to the UNIX administrator to determine. It is not imposed by
+ Samba. Samba provides winbindd together with its support libraries as one method. It is
+ possible to do this via LDAP, and for that Samba provides the appropriate hooks so that
+ all account entities can be located in an LDAP directory.

+ For many the weapon of choice is to use the PADL nss_ldap utility. This utility must

+
+ <para>
+ Good morning,
+ <blockquote><attribution>Christine</attribution><para>
+ A few months ago we sat down to design the network. We discussed the challenges ahead and we all
+ agreed to compromise our design to keep it simple. We knew there would be problems, but anticipated
+ that we would have some time to resolve any issues that might be encountered.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As you now know, we started off on the wrong foot. We have a lot of unhappy users. One of them
+ resigned yesterday afternoon because she was under duress to complete some critical projects. She
+ suffered a blue screen of death situation just as she was finishing four hours of intensive work, all
+ of which was lost. She has a unique requirement that involves storing large files on her desktop.
+ Mary's desktop profile is nearly 1 GB in size. As a result of her desktop configuration, it
+ takes her nearly 15 minutes just to log onto her workstation. But that is not enough. Because all
+ network logon traffic passes over the network links between our buildings, logging on may take
+ three or four attempts due to blue screen problems associated with network timeouts.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A few of us worked to help her out of trouble. We convinced her to stay and promised to fully
+ resolve the difficulties she is facing. We have no choice. We must implement LDAP and set hard
+ limits on what our users can do with their desktops. Otherwise, we face staff losses
+ that can surely do harm to our growth as well as to staff morale. I am sure we can better deal
+ with the consequences of what we know we must do than we can with the unrest we have now.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Stan and I have discussed the current situation. We are resolved to help our users and protect
+ the well being of Abmas. Please acknowledge this advice with consent to proceed as required to

+ A word of caution is fully in order. OpenLDAP is purely an LDAP server, and unlike commercial

+ The price paid through learning how to design an LDAP directory schema in implementation and configuration

+ A comparison of OpenLDAP with Microsoft Active Directory does not do justice to either. OpenLDAP is an LDAP directory
+ tool-set. Microsoft Active Directory Server is an implementation of an LDAP server that is largely preconfigured
+ for a specific task orientation. It comes with a set of administrative tools that is entirely customized
+ for the purpose of running MS Windows applications that include file and print services, Microsoft Exchange
+ server, Microsoft SQL server, and more. The complexity of OpenLDAP is highly valued by the UNIX administrator
+ who wants to build a custom directory solution. Microsoft provides an application called
+ <ulink url="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/adam/default.mspx">
+ MS ADAM</ulink> that provides more generic LDAP services, yet it does not have the vanilla-like services

+ An XP roaming profile consists of the <constant>HKEY_CURRENT_USER</constant> hive file

+ Desktop, Start Menu, Templates, NetHood, Favorites, and so on). When a user logs onto the

+ copied to the local machine under the <filename>C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%</filename>
+ directory. While the user is logged in, any changes made to any of these folders or to the
+ <constant>HKEY_CURRENT_USER</constant> branch of the registry are made to the local copy
+ of the profile. At logout the profile data is copied back to the server. This behavior
+ can be changed through appropriate registry changes and/or through changes to the default

+ The subject of printing is quite topical. Printing problems run second place to name
+ resolution issues today. So far in this book, you have experienced only what is generally
+ known as <quote>dumb</quote> printing. Dumb printing is the arrangement by which all drivers
+ are manually installed on each client and the printing subsystems perform no filtering
+ or intelligent processing. Dumb printing is easily understood. It usually works without
+ many problems, but it has its limitations also. Dumb printing is better known as
+ <command>Raw-Print-Through</command> printing.

+ Samba permits the configuration of <command>smart</command> printing using the Microsoft
+ Windows point-and-click (also called drag-and-drop) printing. What this provides is
+ essentially the ability to print to any printer. If the local client does not yet have a
+ driver installed, the driver is automatically downloaded from the Samba server and
+ installed on the client. Drag-and-drop printing is neat; it means the user never needs
+ to fuss with driver installation, and that is a <trademark>Good Thing,</trademark>
+ isn't it?
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ There is a further layer of print job processing that is known as <command>intelligent</command>

+ then invokes a suitable print filter to convert the incoming data stream into a format
+ suited to the printer to which the job is dispatched.

+ The CUPS printing subsystem is capable of intelligent printing. It has the capacity to
+ detect the data format and apply a print filter. This means that it is feasible to install
+ on all Windows clients a single printer driver for use with all printers that are routed
+ through CUPS. The most sensible driver to use is one for a PostScript printer. Fortunately,
+ <ulink url="http://www.easysw.com">Easy Software Products</ulink>, the authors of CUPS, have
+ released a PostScript printing driver for Windows. It can be installed into the Samba
+ printing backend so that it automatically downloads to the client when needed.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This means that so long as there is a CUPS driver for the printer, all printing from Windows
+ software can use PostScript, no matter what the actual printer language for the physical
+ device is. It also means that the administrator can swap out a printer with a totally
+ different type of device without ever needing to change a client workstation driver.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This book is about Samba-3, so you can confine the printing style to just the smart
+ style of installation. Those interested in further information regarding intelligent
+ printing should review documentation on the Easy Software Products Web site.

+ <title>The Name Service Caching Daemon</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The name service caching daemon (nscd) is a primary cause of difficulties with name
+ resolution, particularly where <command>winbind</command> is used. Winbind does its
+ own caching, thus nscd causes double caching which can lead to peculiar problems during
+ debugging. As a rule, it is a good idea to turn off the name service caching daemon.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Operation of the name service caching daemon is controlled by the
+ <filename>/etc/nscd.conf</filename> file. Typical contents of this file are as follows:
+<screen>
+# /etc/nscd.conf
+# An example Name Service Cache config file. This file is needed by nscd.
+# Legal entries are:
+# logfile &lt;file&gt;
+# debug-level &lt;level&gt;
+# threads &lt;threads to use&gt;
+# server-user &lt;user to run server as instead of root&gt;
+# server-user is ignored if nscd is started with -S parameters

+ It is feasible to comment out the <constant>passwd</constant> and <constant>group</constant>

+ In this case, all LDAP-related logs will be directed to the file
+ <filename>/var/log/ldaplogs</filename>. This makes it easy to track LDAP errors.
+ The snippet provides a simple example of usage that can be modified to suit

+ <title>Debugging NSS_LDAP</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The basic mechanism for diagnosing problems with the nss_ldap utility involves adding to the
+ <filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename> file the following parameters:
+<screen>
+debug 256
+logdir /data/logs
+</screen>
+ Create the log directory as follows:
+<screen>

+
+ <procedure>
+ <title>NSS_LDAP Diagnostic Steps</title>
+
+ <step><para>
+ Verify the <constant>nss_base_passwd, nss_base_shadow, nss_base_group</constant> entries
+ in the <filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename> file and compare them closely with the directory
+ tree location that was chosen when the directory was first created.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ One way this can be done is by executing:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; slapcat | grep Group | grep dn
+dn: ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
+dn: cn=Domain Admins,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
+dn: cn=Domain Users,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
+dn: cn=Domain Guests,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
+dn: cn=Domain Computers,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
+dn: cn=Administrators,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
+dn: cn=Print Operators,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
+dn: cn=Backup Operators,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
+dn: cn=Replicators,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
+</screen>
+ The first line is the DIT entry point for the container for POSIX groups. The correct entry
+ for the <filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename> for the <constant>nss_base_group</constant>
+ parameter therefore is the distinguished name (dn) as applied here:
+<screen>
+nss_base_group ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz?one
+</screen>
+ The same process may be followed to determine the appropriate dn for user accounts.
+ If the container for computer accounts is not the same as that for users (see the &smb.conf;
+ file entry for <constant>ldap machine suffix</constant>), it may be necessary to set the
+ following DIT dn in the <filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename> file:
+<screen>
+nss_base_passwd dc=abmas,dc=biz?sub
+</screen>
+ This instructs LDAP to search for machine as well as user entries from the top of the DIT
+ down. This is inefficient, but at least should work. Note: It is possible to specify multiple
+ <constant>nss_base_passwd</constant> entries in the <filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename> file; they
+ will be evaluated sequentially. Let us consider an example of use where the following DIT
+ has been implemented:
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>All user accounts are stored under the DIT: ou=Users,dc=abmas,dc=biz</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>All user login accounts are under the DIT: ou=People,ou-Users,dc=abmas,dc=biz</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>All computer accounts are under the DIT: ou=Computers,ou=Users,dc=abmas,dc=biz</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The appropriate multiple entry for the <constant>nss_base_passwd</constant> directive
+ in the <filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename> file may be:
+<screen>
+nss_base_passwd ou=People,ou=Users,dc=abmas,dc=org?one
+nss_base_passwd ou=Computers,ou=Users,dc=abmas,dc=org?one
+</screen>
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ Perform lookups such as:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; getent passwd
+</screen>
+ Each such lookup will create an entry in the <filename>/data/log</filename> directory
+ for each such process executed. The contents of each file created in this directory
+ may provide a hint as to the cause of the a problem that is under investigation.
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ For additional diagnostic information, check the contents of the <filename>/var/log/messages</filename>
+ to see what error messages are being generated as a result of the LDAP lookups. Here is an example of

+ <title>LDAP Initialization and Creation of User and Group Accounts</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The LDAP database must be populated with well-known Windows domain user accounts and domain group
+ accounts before Samba can be used. The following procedures step you through the process.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ At this time, Samba-3 requires that on a PDC all UNIX (POSIX) group accounts that are
+ mapped (linked) to Windows domain group accounts must be in the LDAP database. It does not
+ hurt to have UNIX user and group accounts in both the system files as well as in the LDAP
+ database. From a UNIX system perspective, the NSS resolver checks system files before
+ referring to LDAP. If the UNIX system can resolve (find) an account in the system file, it
+ does not need to ask LDAP.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Addition of an account to the LDAP backend can be done in two ways:
+ </para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <indexterm><primary>NIS</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>/etc/passwd</primary></indexterm>

+ <indexterm><primary>pdbedit</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>SambaSamAccount</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>PosixAccount</primary></indexterm>
+ If you always have a user account in the <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> on every
+ server or in a NIS(+) backend, it is not necessary to add POSIX accounts for them in
+ LDAP. In this case, you can add Windows domain user accounts using the
+ <command>pdbedit</command> utility. Use of this tool from the command line adds the
+ SambaSamAccount entry for the user, but does not add the PosixAccount entry for the user.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This is the least desirable method because when LDAP is used as the passwd backend Samba
+ expects the POSIX account to be in LDAP also. It is possible to use the PADL account
+ migration tool to migrate all system accounts from either the <filename>/etc/passwd</filename>
+ files, or from NIS, to LDAP.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ If you decide that it is probably a good idea to add both the PosixAccount attributes
+ as well as the SambaSamAccount attributes for each user, then a suitable script is needed.
+ In the example system you are installing in this exercise, you are making use of the
+ Idealx smbldap-tools scripts. A copy of these tools, preconfigured for this system,
+ is included on the enclosed CD-ROM under <filename>Chap06/Tools.</filename>
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>Idealx</primary><secondary>smbldap-tools</secondary></indexterm>
+ If you wish to have more control over how the LDAP database is initialized or
+ if you don't want to use the Idealx smbldap-tools, you should refer to
+ <link linkend="appendix"/>, <link linkend="altldapcfg"/>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>smbldap-populate</primary></indexterm>
+ The following steps initialize the LDAP database, and then you can add user and group
+ accounts that Samba can use. You use the <command>smbldap-populate</command> to
+ seed the LDAP database. You then manually add the accounts shown in <link linkend="sbehap-bigacct"/>.
+ The list of users does not cover all 500 network users; it provides examples only.

+ <indexterm><primary>directory</primary><secondary>People container</secondary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>directory</primary><secondary>Computers container</secondary></indexterm>
+ In the following examples, as the LDAP database is initialized, we do create a container
+ for Computer (machine) accounts. In the Samba-3 &smb.conf; files, specific use is made
+ of the People container, not the Computers container, for domain member accounts. This is not a
+ mistake; it is a deliberate action that is necessitated by the fact that the resolution of
+ a machine (computer) account to a UID is done via NSS. The only way this can be handled is
+ using the NSS (<filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>) entry for <constant>passwd</constant>,
+ which is resolved using the <filename>nss_ldap</filename> library. The configuration file for
+ the <filename>nss_ldap</filename> library is the file <filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename> that
+ provides only one possible LDAP search command that is specified by the entry called
+ <constant>nss_base_passwd</constant>. This means that the search path must take into account
+ the directory structure so that the LDAP search will commence at a level that is above
+ both the Computers container and the Users (or People) container. If this is done, it is
+ necessary to use a search that will descend the directory tree so that the machine account
+ can be found. Alternatively, by placing all machine accounts in the People container, we
+ are able to sidestep this limitation. This is the simpler solution that has been adopted
+ in this chapter.

+ So that we can use a global IDMAP repository, the LDAP directory must have a container object for IDMAP data.

+<screen>
+&rootprompt; ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=abmas,dc=biz" \

+ The makings of a great network environment take a lot of effort and attention to detail.
+ So far, you have completed most of the complex (and to many administrators, the interesting
+ part of server configuration) steps, but remember to tie it all together. Here are
+ a few more steps that must be completed so that your network runs like a well-rehearsed
+ orchestra.
+ </para>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Configuring Directory Share Point Roots</title>
+
+ <para>
+ In your &smb.conf; file, you have specified Windows shares. Each has a <parameter>path</parameter>
+ parameter. Even though it is obvious to all, one of the common Samba networking problems is
+ caused by forgetting to verify that every such share root directory actually exists and that it
+ has the necessary permissions and ownership.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Here is an example, but remember to create the directory needed for every share:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; mkdir -p /data/{accounts,finsvcs,piops}
+&rootprompt; mkdir -p /apps
+&rootprompt; chown -R root:root /data
+&rootprompt; chown -R root:root /apps
+&rootprompt; chown -R bobj:Accounts /data/accounts
+&rootprompt; chown -R bobj:Finances /data/finsvcs
+&rootprompt; chown -R bobj:PIOps /data/pidata
+&rootprompt; chmod -R ug+rwxs,o-rwx /data
+&rootprompt; chmod -R ug+rwx,o+rx-w /apps
+</screen>

+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Configuring Profile Directories</title>
+
+ <para>
+ You made a conscious decision to do everything it would take to improve network client
+ performance. One of your decisions was to implement folder redirection. This means that Windows
+ user desktop profiles are now made up of two components: a dynamically loaded part and a set of file
+ network folders.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For this arrangement to work, every user needs a directory structure for the network folder
+ portion of his or her profile as shown here:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; mkdir -p /var/lib/samba/profdata
+&rootprompt; chown root:root /var/lib/samba/profdata
+&rootprompt; chmod 755 /var/lib/samba/profdata
+
+# Per user structure
+&rootprompt; cd /var/lib/samba/profdata
+&rootprompt; mkdir -p <emphasis>username</emphasis>
+&rootprompt; for i in InternetFiles Cookies History AppData \
+ LocalSettings MyPictures MyDocuments Recent
+&rootprompt; do
+&rootprompt; mkdir <emphasis>username</emphasis>/$i
+&rootprompt; done
+&rootprompt; chown -R <emphasis>username</emphasis>:Domain\ Users <emphasis>username</emphasis>
+&rootprompt; chmod -R 750 <emphasis>username</emphasis>
+</screen>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>roaming profile</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>mandatory profile</primary></indexterm>
+ You have three options insofar as the dynamically loaded portion of the roaming profile
+ is concerned:
+ </para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>You may permit the user to obtain a default profile.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>You can create a mandatory profile.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>You can create a group profile (which is almost always a mandatory profile).</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>
+ Mandatory profiles cannot be overwritten by a user. The change from a user profile to a mandatory
+ profile is effected by renaming the <filename>NTUSER.DAT</filename> to <filename>NTUSER.MAN</filename>,
+ that is, just by changing the filename extension.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>SRVTOOLS.EXE</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>Domain User Manager</primary></indexterm>
+ The location of the profile that a user can obtain is set in the user's account in the LDAP passdb backend.
+ You can manage this using the Idealx smbldap-tools or using the
+ <ulink url="ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/SRVTOOLS.EXE">Windows NT4 Domain User Manager</ulink>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It may not be obvious that you must ensure that the root directory for the user's profile exists
+ and has the needed permissions. Use the following commands to create this directory:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; mkdir -p /var/lib/samba/profiles/<emphasis>username</emphasis>
+&rootprompt; chown <emphasis>username</emphasis>:Domain\ Users
+ /var/lib/samba/profiles/<emphasis>username</emphasis>

+ <title>Preparation of Logon Scripts</title>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>logon script</primary></indexterm>
+ The use of a logon script with Windows XP Professional is an option that every site should consider.
+ Unless you have locked down the desktop so the user cannot change anything, there is risk that
+ a vital network drive setting may be broken or that printer connections may be lost. Logon scripts
+ can help to restore persistent network folder (drive) and printer connections in a predictable
+ manner. One situation in which such breakage may occur in particular is when a mobile PC (notebook)
+ user attaches to another company's network that forces environment changes that are alien to your
+ network.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you decide to use network logon scripts, by reference to the &smb.conf; files for the domain
+ controllers, you see that the path to the share point for the <constant>NETLOGON</constant>
+ share defined is <filename>/var/lib/samba/netlogon</filename>. The path defined for the logon
+ script inside that share is <filename>scripts\logon.bat</filename>. This means that as a Windows
+ NT/200x/XP client logs onto the network, it tries to obtain the file <filename>logon.bat</filename>
+ from the fully qualified path <filename>/var/lib/samba/netlogon/scripts</filename>. This fully
+ qualified path should therefore exist whether you install the <filename>logon.bat</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can, of course, create the fully qualified path by executing:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; mkdir -p /var/lib/samba/netlogon/scripts
+</screen>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You should research the options for logon script implementation by referring to <emphasis>TOSHARG</emphasis>, Chapter 24,
+ Section 24.4. A quick Web search will bring up a host of options. One of the most popular logon
+ facilities in use today is called <ulink url="http://www.kixtart.org">KiXtart</ulink>.

+ <title>Assigning User Rights and Privileges</title>

+ The ability to perform tasks such as joining Windows clients to the domain can be assigned to
+ normal user accounts. By default, only the domain administrator account (<constant>root</constant> on UNIX
+ systems because it has UID=0) can add accounts. New to Samba 3.0.11 is the ability to grant
+ this privilege in a very limited fashion to particular accounts.
+ </para>

+ By default, even Samba-3.0.11 does not grant any rights even to the <constant>Domain Admins</constant>
+ group. Here we grant this group all privileges.
+ </para>
+

+ <para>
+ This chapter introduced many new concepts. Is it a sad fact that the example presented deliberately
+ avoided any consideration of security. Security does not just happen; you must design it into your total
+ network. Security begins with a systems design and implementation that anticipates hostile behavior from
+ users both inside and outside the organization. Hostile and malicious intruders do not respect barriers;
+ they accept them as challenges. For that reason, if not simply from a desire to establish safe networking
+ practices, you must not deploy the design presented in this book in an environment where there is risk
+ of compromise.

+ As a minimum, the LDAP server must be protected by way of Access Control Lists (ACLs), and it must be
+ configured to use secure protocols for all communications over the network. Of course, secure networking
+ does not result just from systems design and implementation but involves constant user education
+ training and, above all, disciplined attention to detail and constant searching for signs of unfriendly
+ or alien activities. Security is itself a topic for a whole book. Please do consult appropriate sources.

+ Well, here we are at the end of this chapter and we have only ten questions to help you to

+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ Why did you not cover secure practices? Isn't it rather irresponsible to instruct
+ network administrators to implement insecure solutions?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ Let's get this right. This is a book about Samba, not about OpenLDAP and secure
+ communication protocols for subjects other than Samba. Earlier on, you note,
+ that the dynamic DNS and DHCP solutions also used no protective secure communications
+ protocols. The reason for this is simple: There are so many ways of implementing
+ secure protocols that this book would have been even larger and more complex.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The solutions presented here all work (at least they did for me). Network administrators
+ have the interest and the need to be better trained and instructed in secure networking
+ practices and ought to implement safe systems. I made the decision, right or wrong,
+ to keep this material as simple as possible. The intent of this book is to demonstrate
+ a working solution and not to discuss too many peripheral issues.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This book makes little mention of backup techniques. Does that mean that I am recommending
+ that you should implement a network without provision for data recovery and for disaster
+ management? Back to our focus: The deployment of Samba has been clearly demonstrated.

+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ You have focused much on SUSE Linux and little on the market leader, Red Hat. Do
+ you have a problem with Red Hat Linux? Doesn't that make your guidance irrelevant
+ to the Linux I might be using?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ Both Red Hat Linux and SUSE Linux comply with the Linux Standards Base specifications
+ for a standard Linux distribution. The differences are marginal. Surely you know
+ your Linux platform, and you do have access to administration manuals for it. This
+ book is not a Linux tutorial; it is a Samba tutorial. Let's keep the focus on
+ the Samba part of the book; all the other bits are peripheral (but important) to
+ creation of a total network solution.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ What I find interesting is the attention reviewers give to Linux installation and to
+ the look and feel of the desktop, but does that make for a great server? In this book,
+ I have paid particular attention to the details of creating a whole solution framework.
+ I have not tightened every nut and bolt, but I have touched on all the issues you
+ need to be familiar with. Over the years many people have approached me wanting to
+ know the details of exactly how to implement a DHCP and dynamic DNS server with Samba
+ and WINS. In this chapter, it is plain to see what needs to be configured to provide
+ transparent interoperability. Likewise for CUPS and Samba interoperation. These are
+ key stumbling areas for many people.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ At every critical junction, I have provided comparative guidance for both SUSE and
+ Red Hat Linux. Both manufacturers have done a great job in furthering the cause
+ of open source software. I favor neither and respect both. I like particular
+ features of both products (companies also). No bias in presentation is intended.
+ Oh, before I forget, I particularly like Debian Linux; that is my favorite playground.

+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ Yes, you can do that for user accounts only. Samba requires there to be a POSIX (UNIX)
+ group account for every Windows domain group account. But if you put your users into
+ the system password account, how do you plan to keep all domain controller system
+ password files in sync? I think that having everything in LDAP makes a lot of sense

+
+ <para>
+ Samba uses a well-known public algorithm for assigning RIDs from UIDs and GIDs.
+ This algorithm ought to ensure that there will be no clashes with well-known RIDs.
+ Well-known RIDs have special significance to MS Windows clients. The automatic

+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ No. You can use any type of printer and must use the interfacing protocol supported
+ by the printer. Many networks use LPR/LPD print servers to which are attached

+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ The only loss of data I know of that involved folder redirection was caused by
+ manual misuse of the redirection tool. The administrator redirected a folder to
+ a network drive and said he wanted to migrate (move) the data over. Then he
+ changed his mind, so he moved the folder back to the roaming profile. This time,
+ he declined to move the data because he thought it was still in the local profile
+ folder. That was not the case, so by declining to move the data back, he wiped out
+ the data. You cannot hold the tool responsible for that. Caveat emptor still applies.

+ Network administrators who want to migrate off a Windows NT4 environment know
+ one thing with certainty. They feel that NT4 has been abandoned, and they want
+ to update. The desire to get off NT4 and to not adopt Windows 200x and Active

+ It should be pointed out now that it is possible to migrate some systems from
+ a Windows NT4 domain environment to a Samba-3 domain environment. This is certainly
+ not possible in every case. It is possible to just migrate the domain accounts
+ to Samba-3 and then to switch machines, but as a hands-off transition, this is more
+ the exception than the rule. Most systems require some tweaking after
+ migration before an environment that is acceptable for immediate use
+ is obtained.

+ MS Windows NT4 was introduced some time around 1996. Many environments in which NT4 was deployed
+ have done little to keep the NT4 server environment up to date with more recent Windows releases,

+ greater network configuration of this from the old NT4 server to the new Samba-3 server.
+ Do not forget to validate the security descriptors in the profiles share as well as network logon
+ scripts. Feedback from sites that are migrating to Samba-3 suggests that many are using this

+ Migration of an NT4 domain user and group database to Samba-3 involves a certain strategic
+ element. Many sites have asked for instructions regarding merging of multiple NT4
+ domains into one Samba-3 LDAP database. It seems that this is viewed as a significant
+ added value compared with the alternative of migration to Windows Server 200x and Active
+ Directory. The diagram in <link linkend="ch8-migration"/> illustrates the effect of migration
+ from a Windows NT4 domain to a Samba domain.

+ <para>
+ The merging of multiple Windows NT4-style domains into a single LDAP-backend-based Samba-3
+ domain may be seen by those who had power over them as a loss of prestige or a loss of
+ power. The imposition of a single domain may even be seen as a threat. So in migrating and

+ may find yourself entangled when key staff feel a loss of prestige.

+ <title>Implementation</title>
+
+ <para>
+ From feedback on the Samba mailing lists, it seems that most Windows NT4 migrations
+ to Samba-3 are being performed using a new server or a new installation of a Linux or UNIX
+ server. If you contemplate doing this, please note that the steps that follow in this
+ chapter assume familiarity with the information that has been previously covered in this
+ book. You are particularly encouraged to be familiar with <link linkend="secure"/>,
+ <link linkend="Big500users"/> and <link linkend="happy"/>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ We present here the steps and example output for two NT4 to Samba-3 domain migrations. The
+ first uses an LDAP-based backend, and the second uses a tdbsam backend. In each case the
+ scripts you specify in the &smb.conf; file for the <parameter>add user script</parameter>
+ collection of parameters are used to effect the addition of accounts into the passdb backend.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Before proceeding to NT4 migration using either a tdbsam or ldapsam, it is most strongly recommended to
+ review <link linkend="ch5-dnshcp-setup"/> for DNS and DHCP configuration. The importance of correctly
+ functioning name resolution must be recognized. This applies equally for both hostname and NetBIOS names
+ (machine names, computer names, domain names, workgroup names &smbmdash; ALL names!).

+
+ <para>
+ In this example, the migration is of an NT4 PDC to a Samba-3 PDC with an LDAP backend. The accounts about
+ to be migrated are shown in <link linkend="NT4DUM"/>. In this example use is made of the
+ smbldap-tools scripts to add the accounts that are migrated into the ldapsam passdb backend.
+ Four scripts are essential to the migration process. Other scripts will be required
+ for daily management, but these are not critical to migration. The critical scripts are dependant
+ on which passdb backend is being used. Refer to <link linkend="ch8-vampire"/> to see which scripts
+ must be provided so that the migration process can complete.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Verify that you have correctly specified in the &smb.conf; file the scripts and arguments
+ that should be passed to them before attempting to perform the account migration. Note also
+ that the deletion scripts must be commented out during migration. These should be uncommented
+ following successful migration of the NT4 Domain accounts.

+ If you have 10 tdbsam Samba domains, there is considerable risk that there are a number of

+ certainly have to edit a lot of data. It would be easiest to dump each database in smbpasswd

+ file can then be imported a number of ways. You can use the <command>pdbedit</command> tool
+ to affect a transfer from the smbpasswd file to LDAP, or you can migrate them en masse to
+ tdbsam and then to LDAP. The final choice is yours. Just remember to verify all accounts that

+ membership is stored in the POSIX groups area. If you use either tdbsam or smbpasswd backend,
+ then multiple group membership is handled through the UNIX groups file. When you dump the user
+ accounts, no group account information is provided. When you edit (change) UIDs and GIDs in each
+ file to which you migrated the NT4 Domain data, do not forget to edit the UNIX <filename>/etc/passwd</filename>

+ A Windows 200x group name can be up to 254 characters long, while in Windows NT4 the group

+ groups can contain upper- and lowercase characters, as well as spaces.
+ Many UNIX system do not permit the use of uppercase characters, and some do not permit the
+ space character either. A number of systems (i.e., Linux) work fine with both uppercase
+ and space characters in group names, but the shadow-utils package that provides the group
+ control functions (<command>groupadd</command>, <command>groupmod</command>, <command>groupdel</command>, and so on) do not permit them.
+ Also, a number of UNIX systems management tools enforce their own particular interpretation
+ of the POSIX standards and likewise do not permit uppercase or space characters in group

+ <para>
+ UNIX UIDs and GIDs on most UNIX systems use an unsigned short or an unsigned integer. Recent Linux
+ kernels support at least a much larger number. On systems that have a 16-bit constraint on UID/GIDs,
+ you would not be able to migrate 323,000 accounts because this number cannot fit into a 16-bit unsigned
+ integer. UNIX/Linux systems that have a 32-bit UID/GID can easily handle this number of accounts.
+ Please check this carefully before you attempt to effect a migration using the vampire process.

+ Novell is a company any seasoned IT manager has to admire. It has become increasingly

+ disappear into obscurity. Novell's SUSE Linux hosts the NetWare server and it is the
+ platform of choice to which many older NetWare servers are being migrated.

+ One wonders how many NetWare servers remain in active service. Many are being migrated
+ to Samba on Linux. Red Hat Linux, SUSE Linux 9.x, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 are
+ ideal target platforms to which a NetWare server may be migrated. The migration method
+ of choice is much dependent on the tools that the administrator finds most natural to use.
+ The old-hand NetWare guru will likely want to use tools like the NetWare NLM for
+ <command>rsync</command> to migrate files from the NetWare server to the Samba server.
+ The UNIX administrator might prefer tools that are part of the Mars_NWE (Martin Stovers' NetWare
+ Emulator) open source package. The MS Windows network administrator will likely make use of the
+ NWConv utility that is a part of Windows NT4 Server. Whatever your tool of choice,
+ migration will be filled with joyous and challenging moments &smbmdash; though probably not
+ concurrently.

+ A decision to use LDAP was made even though I knew nothing about LDAP except that
+ I had been reading the book <quote>LDAP System Administration,</quote> by Gerald Carter.
+ LDAP seemed to provide some of the functionality of Novell's e-Directory Services
+ and would provide centralized authentication and identity management.

+ Building the LDAP database took a while and a lot of trial and error. Following
+ the guidance I obtained from <quote>LDAP System
+ Administration,</quote> I installed OpenLDAP (from RPM; later I compiled
+ a more current version from source) and built my initial LDAP tree.

+ The first challenge was to create a company white pages, followed by manually
+ entering everything from the printed company directory. This used only the inetOrgPerson
+ object class from the OpenLDAP schemas. The next step was to write a shell script that
+ would look at the <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> and <filename>/etc/shadow</filename>
+ files on our mail server and create an LDIF file from which the information could be
+ imported into LDAP. This would allow use of LDAP for Linux authentication, IMAP, POP3,
+ and SMTP.

+ Because a decision was made to use Courier-IMAP the schema <quote>authldap.schema</quote>

+ <filename>courier.schema</filename>.

+
+ <para>
+ Looking back, it would have been much easier to populate the LDAP directory using a convenient
+ tool such as <command>phpLDAPAdmin</command> from the outset. An excessive amount of time was

+ so that necessary changes could be written to the directory. This was a learning experience!

+ An attempt was made to use the PADL POSIX account migration scripts, but I gave up trying to

+ With the LDAP directory now initialized, it was time to create the Windows and POSIX

+ The easiest way to do this was to use <command>smbldap-groupadd</command> command.

+ After I had my group mappings in place, I added users to the groups (the users

+ The most monumental task of all was adding the sambaSamAccount information to each

+ <indexterm><primary>NetWare</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>LDIF</primary></indexterm>

+ I completed that step for every user after asking the person what his or her current
+ NetWare password was. The wiser way to have done it would probably have been to dump the
+ entire database to an LDIF file. This can be done by executing:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; slapcat &gt; somefile.ldif
+</screen>
+ <indexterm><primary>Perl</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>objectClass</primary></indexterm>
+ Then update the LDIF file created by using a Perl script to parse and add the
+ appropriate attributes and objectClasses to each entry, followed by re-importing
+ the entire database into the LDAP directory.
+ </para>
+

+ Rebuilding of the LDAP directory can be done as follows:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; rcldap stop
+&rootprompt; cd /data/ldap
+&rootprompt; rm *bdb _* log*
+&rootprompt; su - ldap -c "slapadd -l somefile.ldif"

+ As you can see in the script, I redirected the My Documents to the user's home

+
+ <para>
+ Also of note for Win9x is that the drive mappings and printer setup will not
+ work because they rely on RPC. You merely have to put the appropriate settings
+ into the <filename>c:\autoexec.bat</filename> file or map the drives manually.
+ One option is to check the OS as part of the Kixtart script, and if it
+ is Win9x and is the first login, copy a premade
+ <filename>autoexec.bat</filename> to the <filename>C:</filename> drive. I
+ have only three such machines, and one is going away in the very near future,

+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>upgrade</primary></indexterm>
+ At this point I was able to add the users. This is the part that really falls
+ into upgrade. I moved the users over one group at a time, starting with the
+ people who used the least amount of resources on the network. With each group
+ that I moved, I first logged on as a standard user in that group and took
+ careful note of the environment, mainly the printers he or she used, the PATH,
+ and what network resources he or she had access to (most importantly, which ones
+ the user actually needed access to).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ I then added the user's SambaSamAccount information as mentioned earlier,
+ and join the computer to the domain. The very first thing I had to do was to
+ copy the user's profile to the new server. This was very important, and I really
+ struggled with the most effective way to do it. Here is the method that worked
+ for every one of my users on Windows NT, 2000, and XP:
+ </para>
+
+ <procedure>
+ <step><para>
+ Log in as the user on the domain. This creates the local copy
+ of the user's profile and copies it to the server as he or she logs out.
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ Reboot the computer and log in as the local machine administrator.
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ Right-click My Computer, click Properties, and navigate to the
+ user profiles tab (varies per version of Windows).
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ Select the user's local profile <constant>(COMPUTERNAME\username)</constant>,
+ and click the <command>Copy To</command> button.
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ In the next dialog, copy it directly to the profiles share on the
+ Samba server (\\PDCname\profiles\user\&lt;architecture&gt; in my
+ case). You will have had to make a connection to the share as that
+ user (e.g., Windows Explorer type \\PDCname\profiles\username).
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ When the copy is complete (it can take a while) log out, and log back in
+ as the user. All of his or her settings and all contents of My Documents,
+ Favorites, and the registry should have been copied successfully.
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ If it doesn't look right (the dead giveaway is the desktop background),
+ shut down the computer without logging out (power cycle) and try logging
+ in as the user again. If it still doesn't work, repeat the steps above.
+ I only had to ever repeat it once.
+ </para></step>
+
+ </procedure>
+
+ <para>
+ Words to the Wise:
+ </para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ If the user was anything other than a standard user on his or her system
+ before, you will save yourself some headaches by giving him or her identical
+ permissions (on the local machine) as his or her domain account <emphasis>before</emphasis>
+ copying the profile over. Do this through the User Administrator
+ in the Control Panel, after joining the computer to the domain and
+ before logging on as that user for the first time. Otherwise the user will
+ have trouble with permissions on his or her registry keys.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ If any application was installed for the user only, rather than for
+ the entire system, it will probably not work without being reinstalled.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>
+ After all these steps are accomplished, only cleanup details are left. Make sure user's
+ shortcuts and Network Places point to the appropriate place on the new server, check
+ the important applications to be sure they work as expected and troubleshoot any problems
+ that might arise, and check to be sure the user's printers are present and working. By the
+ way, if there are any network printers installed as system printers (the Novell way),
+ you will need to log in as a local administrator and delete them.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For my non-laptop systems, I would then log in and out a couple times as the user
+ to be sure that his or her registry settings were modified, and then I was finished.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Some compatibility issues that cropped up included the following:
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Blackberry client: It did not like having its registry settings moved around
+ and so had to be reinstalled. Also, it needed write permissions to a portion of
+ the hard drive, and I had to give it those manually on the one system where
+ this was an issue.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ CAMedia: Digital camera software for Canon cameras caused all kinds of trouble
+ with the registry. I had to use the Run as service to open the registry of
+ the local user while logged in as the domain user, and give the domain user
+ the appropriate permissions to some registry keys, then export that portion
+ of the registry to a file. Then, as the domain user, I had to import that file
+ into the registry.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Crystal Reports version 7: More registry problems that were solved by recopying
+ the user's profile.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Printing from legacy applications: I found out that Novell sends its jobs to
+ the printer in a raw format. CUPS sends them in PostScript by default. I had
+ to make a second printer definition for one printer and tell CUPS specifically
+ to send raw data to the printer, then assign this printer to the LPT port with
+ Kixtart's version of the net use command.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ These were all eventually solved by elbow grease, queries to the Samba mailing
+ list and others, and diligence. The complete migration took about 5 weeks.
+ My userbase is relatively small but includes multiple versions of Windows,
+ multiple Linux member servers, a mechanized saw, a pen plotter, and legacy
+ applications written in Qbasic and R:Base, just to name a few. I actually
+ ended up making some of these applications work better (or work again, as
+ some of them had stopped functioning on the old server) because as part of
+ the process I had to find out how things were supposed to work.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The one thing I have not been able to get working is a very old database that
+ we had around for reference purposes; it uses Novell's Btrieve engine.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As the resources compare, I went from 95 percent disk usage to just around 10 percent.
+ I went from a very high load on the server to an average load of between one
+ and two runnable processes on the server. I have improved the security and
+ robustness of the system. I have also implemented
+ <ulink url="http://www.clamav.net">ClamAV</ulink> antivirus software,
+ which scans the entire Samba server for viruses every 2 hours and
+ quarantines them. I have found it much less problematic than our ancient
+ version of Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition, and much more up-to-date.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In short, my users are much happier now that the new server is running, and that
+ is what is important to me.

+
+ <para>
+ Congratulations, your Samba networking skills are developing nicely. You started out
+ with three simple networks in <link linkend="simple"/>, and then in <link linkend="small"/>
+ you designed and built a network that provides a high degree of flexibility, integrity,
+ and dependability. It was enough for the basic needs each was designed to fulfill. In
+ this chapter you address a more complex set of needs. The solution you explore
+ introduces you to basic features that are specific to Samba-3.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You should note that a working and secure solution could be implemented using Samba-2.2.x.
+ In the exercises presented here, you are gradually using more Samba-3-specific features,
+ so caution is advised for anyone who tries to use Samba-2.2.x with the guidance here given.
+ To avoid confusion, this book is all about Samba-3. Let's get the exercises in this
+ chapter underway.

+<sect1>
+ <title>Introduction</title>
+
+ <para>
+ You have made Mr. Meany a very happy man. Recently he paid you a fat bonus for work
+ well done. It is one year since the last network upgrade. You have been quite busy.
+ Two months ago Mr. Meany gave approval to hire Christine Roberson, who has taken over
+ general network management. Soon she will provide primary user support. You have
+ demonstrated that you can delegate responsibility and can plan and execute according
+ to that plan. Above all, you have shown Mr. Meany that you are a responsible person.
+ Today is a big day. Mr. Meany called you to his office at 9 a.m. for news you never
+ expected: You are going to take charge of business operations. Mr. Meany
+ is retiring and has entrusted the business to your capable hands.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Mr. Meany may be retiring from this company, but not from work. He is taking the
+ opportunity to develop Abmas Accounting into a larger and more substantial company.
+ He says that it took him many years to learn that there is no future in just running
+ a business. He now realizes there is great personal satisfaction in the creation of
+ career opportunities for people in the local community. He wants to do more for others,
+ as he is doing for you. Today he spent a lot of time talking about his grand plan
+ for growth, which you will deal with in the chapters ahead.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Over the past year, the growth projections were exceeded. The network has grown to
+ meet the needs of 130 users. Along with growth, the demand for improved services
+ and better functionality has also developed. You are about to make an interim
+ improvement and then hand over all Help desk and network maintenance to Christine.
+ Christine has professional certifications in Microsoft Windows as well as in Linux;
+ she is a hard worker and quite likable. Christine does not want to manage the department
+ (although she manages well). She gains job satisfaction when left to sort things out.
+ Occasionally she wants to work with you on a challenging problem. When you told her
+ about your move, she almost resigned, although she was reassured that a new manager would
+ be hired to run Information Technology, and she would be responsible only for operations.
+ </para>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Assignment Tasks</title>
+
+ <para>
+ You promised the staff Internet services including Web browsing, electronic mail, virus
+ protection, and a company Web site. Christine is eager to help turn the vision into
+ reality. Let's see how close you can get to the promises made.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The network you are about to deliver will service 130 users today. Within a year,
+ Abmas will aquire another company. Mr. Meany claims that within 2 years there will be
+ well over 500 users on the network. You have bought into the big picture, so prepare
+ for growth. You have purchased a new server and will implement a new network infrastructure.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You have decided to not recycle old network components. The only items that will be
+ carried forward are notebook computers. You offered staff new notebooks, but not
+ one person wanted the disruption for what was perceived as a marginal update.
+ You decided to give everyone, even the notebook user, a new desktop computer.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You procured a DSL Internet connection that provides 1.5 Mb/sec (bidirectional)
+ and a 10 Mb/sec ethernet port. You registered the domain
+ <constant>abmas.us</constant>, and the Internet Service Provider (ISP) is supplying
+ secondary DNS. Information furnished by your ISP is shown in <link linkend="chap4netid"/>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It is of paramount priority that under no circumstances will Samba offer
+ service access from an Internet connection. You are paying an ISP to
+ give, as part of its value-added services, full firewall protection for your
+ connection to the outside world. The only services allowed in from
+ the Internet side are the following destination ports: <constant>http/https (ports
+ 80 and 443), email (port 25), DNS (port 53)</constant>. All Internet traffic
+ will be allowed out after network address translation (NAT). No internal IP addresses
+ are permitted through the NAT filter because complete privacy of internal network
+ operations must be assured.

+ <para>
+ Christine recommended that desktop systems should be installed from a single cloned
+ master system that has a minimum of locally installed software and loads all software
+ off a central application server. The benefit of having the central application server
+ is that it allows single-point maintenance of all business applications, a more
+ efficient way to manage software. She further recommended installation of antivirus
+ software on workstations as well as on the Samba server. Christine knows the dangers
+ of potential virus infection and insists on a comprehensive approach to detective
+ as well as corrective action to protect network operations.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A significant concern is the problem of managing company growth. Recently, a number
+ of users had to share a PC while waiting for new machines to arrive. This presented
+ some problems with desktop computers and software installation into the new users'
+ desktop profiles.

+ <title>Dissection and Discussion</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Many of the conclusions you draw here are obvious. Some requirements are not very clear
+ or may simply be your means of drawing the most out of Samba-3. Much can be done more simply
+ than you will demonstrate here, but keep in mind that the network must scale to at least 500
+ users. This means that some functionality will be overdesigned for the current 130-user
+ environment.

+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Technical Issues</title>
+
+ <para>
+ In this exercise we use a 24-bit subnet mask for the two local networks. This,
+ of course, limits our network to a maximum of 253 usable IP addresses. The network
+ address range chosen is one assigned by RFC1918 for private networks.
+ When the number of users on the network begins to approach the limit of usable
+ addresses, it is a good idea to switch to a network address specified in RFC1918
+ in the 172.16.0.0/16 range. This is done in subsequent chapters.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>tdbsam</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>smbpasswd</primary></indexterm>
+ The high growth rates projected are a good reason to use the <constant>tdbsam</constant>
+ passdb backend. The use of <constant>smbpasswd</constant> for the backend may result in
+ performance problems. The <constant>tdbsam</constant> passdb backend offers features that
+ are not available with the older, flat ASCII-based <constant>smbpasswd</constant> database.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>risk</primary></indexterm>
+ The proposed network design uses a single server to act as an Internet services host for
+ electronic mail, Web serving, remote administrative access via SSH,
+ Samba-based file and print services. This design is often chosen by sites that feel
+ they cannot afford or justify the cost or overhead of having separate servers. It must
+ be realized that if security of this type of server should ever be violated (compromised),
+ the whole network and all data is at risk. Many sites continue to choose this type
+ of solution; therefore, this chapter provides detailed coverage of key implementation
+ aspects.

+ You know that your ISP is providing full firewall services, but you cannot rely on that.
+ Always assume that human error will occur, so be prepared by using Linux firewall facilities
+ based on <command>iptables</command> to effect NAT. Block all
+ incoming traffic except to permitted well-known ports. You must also allow incoming packets

+ <indexterm><primary>login</primary></indexterm>
+ Notebook computers are configured to use a network login when in the office and a
+ local account to log in while away from the office. Users store all work done in
+ transit (away from the office) by using a local share for work files. Standard procedures

+ Aggregate input/output loads should be considered for sizing network configuration as

+ would deliver below acceptable capacity for the initial user load. It is therefore a good

+ Considering the choice of 1 Gb Ethernet interfaces for the two local network segments,

+ demand that would require a fast disk storage I/O capability. Peak disk throughput is
+ limited by the disk subsystem chosen. It is desirable to provide the maximum
+ I/O bandwidth affordable. If a low-cost solution must be chosen,
+ 3Ware IDE RAID Controllers are a good choice. These controllers can be fitted into a
+ 64-bit, 66 MHz PCI-X slot. They appear to the operating system as a high-speed SCSI
+ controller that can operate at the peak of the PCI-X bandwidth (approximately 450 MB/sec).
+ Alternative SCSI-based hardware RAID controllers should also be considered. Alternately,
+ it makes sense to purchase well-known, branded hardware that has appropriate performance

+ There is one preparatory step without which you will not have a working Samba
+ network environment. You must add an account for each network user.
+ For each user who needs to be given a Windows Domain account, make an entry in the
+ <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> file as well as in the Samba password backend.
+ Use the system tool of your choice to create the UNIX system account, and use the Samba
+ <command>smbpasswd</command> to create a Domain user account.
+ There are a number of tools for user management under UNIX, such as
+ <command>useradd</command>, and <command>adduser</command>, as well as a plethora of custom
+ tools. You also want to create a home directory for each user.
+ You can do this by executing the following steps for each user:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; useradd -m <parameter>username</parameter>
+&rootprompt; passwd <parameter>username</parameter>
+Changing password for <parameter>username</parameter>.
+New password: XXXXXXXX
+Re-enter new password: XXXXXXXX
+Password changed
+&rootprompt; smbpasswd -a <parameter>username</parameter>
+New SMB password: XXXXXXXX
+Retype new SMB password: XXXXXXXX
+Added user <parameter>username</parameter>.
+</screen>
+ You do of course use a valid user login ID in place of <parameter>username</parameter>.

+ Using the preferred tool for your UNIX system, add each user to the UNIX groups created
+ previously as necessary. File system access control will be based on UNIX group membership.
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ Create the directory mount point for the disk subsystem that can be mounted to provide
+ data storage for company files. In this case the mount point is indicated in the &smb.conf;
+ file is <filename>/data</filename>. Format the file system as required, and mount the formatted
+ file system partition using appropriate system tools.
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ <indexterm><primary>file system</primary><secondary>permissions</secondary></indexterm>
+ Create the top-level file storage directories for data and applications as follows:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; mkdir -p /data/{accounts,finsvcs}
+&rootprompt; mkdir -p /apps
+&rootprompt; chown -R root:root /data
+&rootprompt; chown -R root:root /apps

+&rootprompt; chown -R bjordan:finsvcs /data/finsvcs
+&rootprompt; chmod -R ug+rwxs,o-rwx /data
+&rootprompt; chmod -R ug+rwx,o+rx-w /apps
+</screen>
+ Each department is responsible for creating its own directory structure within the departmental
+ share. The directory root of the <command>accounts</command> share is <filename>/data/accounts</filename>.
+ The directory root of the <command>finsvcs</command> share is <filename>/data/finsvcs</filename>.
+ The <filename>/apps</filename> directory is the root of the <constant>apps</constant> share
+ that provides the application server infrastructure.
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ The &smb.conf; file specifies an infrastructure to support roaming profiles and network
+ logon services. You can now create the file system infrastructure to provide the
+ locations on disk that these services require. Adequate planning is essential,
+ since desktop profiles can grow to be quite large. For planning purposes, a minimum of
+ 200 MB of storage should be allowed per user for profile storage. The following
+ commands create the directory infrastructure needed:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; mkdir -p /var/spool/samba
+&rootprompt; mkdir -p /var/lib/samba/{netlogon/scripts,profiles}
+&rootprompt; chown -R root:root /var/spool/samba
+&rootprompt; chown -R root:root /var/lib/samba
+&rootprompt; chmod a+rwxt /var/spool/samba
+</screen>
+ For each user account that is created on the system, the following commands should be
+ executed:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; mkdir /var/lib/samba/profiles/'username'
+&rootprompt; chown 'username':users /var/lib/samba/profiles/'username'
+&rootprompt; chmod ug+wrx,o+rx,-w /var/lib/samba/profiles/'username'

+ Create a logon script. It is important that each line is correctly terminated with
+ a carriage return and line-feed combination (i.e., DOS encoding). The following procedure
+ works if the right tools (<constant>unix2dos</constant> and <constant>dos2unix</constant>) are installed.
+ First, create a file called <filename>/var/lib/samba/netlogon/scripts/logon.bat.unix</filename>
+ with the following contents:
+<screen>
+net time \\diamond /set /yes
+net use h: /home
+net use p: \\diamond\apps

+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ What is the maximum number of account entries that the <parameter>tdbsam</parameter>
+ passdb backend can handle?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ The tdb data structure and support system can handle more entries than the number of
+ accounts that are possible on most UNIX systems. A practical limit would come into
+ play long before a performance boundary would be anticipated. That practical limit
+ is controlled by the nature of Windows networking. There are few Windows file and
+ print servers that can handle more than a few hundred concurrent client connections.
+ The key limiting factors that predicate offloading of services to additional servers
+ are memory capacity, the number of CPUs, network bandwidth, and disk I/O limitations.
+ All of these are readily exhausted by just a few hundred concurrent active users.
+ Such bottlenecks can best be removed by segmentation of the network (distributing
+ network load across multiple networks).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As the network grows, it becomes necessary to provide additional authentication
+ servers (domain controllers). The tdbsam is limited to a single machine and cannot
+ be reliably replicated. This means that practical limits on network design dictate
+ the point at which a distributed passdb backend is required; at this time, there is
+ no real alternative other than ldapsam (LDAP).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The guideline provided in <emphasis>TOSHARG</emphasis>, Chapter 10, Section 10.1.2,
+ is to limit the number of accounts in the tdbsam backend to 250. This is the point
+ at which most networks tend to want backup domain controllers (BDCs). Samba-3 does
+ not provide a mechanism for replicating tdbsam data so it can be used by a BDC. The
+ limitation of 250 users per tdbsam is predicated only on the need for replication,
+ not on the limits<footnote><para>Bench tests have shown that tdbsam is a very
+ effective database technology. There is surprisingly little performance loss even
+ with over 4000 users.</para></footnote> of the tdbsam backend itself.

+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>

+
+ <para>
+ At this time, Samba has the capacity to use only Domain Groups mappings. It is possible that at

+ This is done so that in the event that a software bug may permit a client connection to the IPC$ share to

+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ The default order by which Samba-3 attempts to communicate with MS Windows clients is via port 445 (the TCP port
+ used by Windows clients when NetBIOS-less SMB over TCP/IP is in use). TCP port 139 is the primary port used for NetBIOS
+ over TCP/IP. In this configuration Windows network operations are predicated around NetBIOS over TCP/IP. By
+ specifying the use of port 139 before port 445, the intent is to reduce unsuccessful service connection attempts.
+ The result of this is improved network performance. Where Samba-3 is installed as an Active Directory Domain
+ member, the default behavior is highly beneficial and should not be changed.

+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ What is the difference between a print queue and a printer?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ A printer is a physical device that is connected either directly to the network or to a computer
+ via a serial, parallel, or USB connection so that print jobs can be submitted to it to create a
+ hard copy printout. Network-attached printers that use TCP/IP-based printing generally accept a
+ single print data stream and block all secondary attempts to dispatch jobs concurrently to the
+ same device. If many clients were to concurrently print directly via TCP/IP to the same printer,
+ it would result in a huge amount of network traffic through continually failing connection attempts.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A print server (like CUPS or LPR/LPD) accepts multiple concurrent input streams or
+ print requests. When the data stream has been fully received, the input stream is closed,
+ and the job is then submitted to a sequential print queue where the job is stored until
+ the printer is ready to receive the job.

+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ Why would you use WINS as well as DNS-based name resolution?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ WINS is to NetBIOS names as DNS is to fully qualified domain names (FQDN). The FQDN is
+ a name like <quote>myhost.mydomain.tld</quote> where <parameter>tld</parameter>
+ means <constant>top-level domain</constant>. A FQDN is a longhand but easy-to-remember
+ expression that may be up to 1024 characters in length and that represents an IP address.
+ A NetBIOS name is always 16 characters long. The 16<superscript>th</superscript> character
+ is a name type indicator. A specific name type is registered<footnote><para>
+ See <emphasis>TOSHARG</emphasis>, Chapter 9, for more information.</para></footnote> for each
+ type of service that is provided by the Windows server or client and that may be registered
+ where a WINS server is in use.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ WINS is a mechanism by which a client may locate the IP Address that corresponds to a
+ NetBIOS name. The WINS server may be queried to obtain the IP Address for a NetBIOS name
+ that includes a particular registered NetBIOS name type. DNS does not provide a mechanism
+ that permits handling of the NetBIOS name type information.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ DNS provides a mechanism by which TCP/IP clients may locate the IP address of a particular
+ hostname or service name that has been registered in the DNS database for a particular domain.
+ A DNS server has limited scope of control and is said to be authoritative for the zone over
+ which it has control.
+ </para>

+ The fictitious charity organization is called <emphasis>Abmas Vision NL</emphasis>. This office
+ has five networked computers. Staff are all volunteers, staff changes are frequent.
+ Ms. Amy May, the director of operations, wants a no-hassle network. Anyone should be able to
+ use any PC. Only two Windows applications are used: a custom funds tracking and management package
+ that stores all files on the central server and Microsoft Word. The office prepares mail-out
+ letters, invitations, and thank-you notes. All files must be stored in perpetuity.
+ The custom funds tracking and management (FTM) software is configured to use a server named
+ <constant>SERVER</constant>, a share named <constant>FTMFILES</constant>, and a printer queue
+ named <constant>PRINTQ</constant> that uses preprinted stationery, thus demanding a
+ dedicated printer. This printer does not need to be mapped to a local printer on the workstations.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The FTM software has been in use since the days of Windows 3.11. The software was configured
+ by the vendor who has since gone out of business. The identities of the file
+ server and the printer are hard-coded in a configuration file that was created using a
+ setup tool that the vendor did not provide to Abmas Vision NL or to its predecessors. The
+ company that produced the software is no longer in business. In order to avoid risk of
+ any incompatibilities, the share name and the name of the target print queue must be set
+ precisely as the application expects. In fact, share names and print queue names
+ should be treated as case insensitive (i.e., case does not matter), but Abmas Vision advises
+ that if the share name is not in lowercase, the application claims it cannot find the
+ file share.

+ <indexterm><primary>print queue</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>print spooler</primary></indexterm>
+ Printer handling in Samba results in a significant level of confusion. Samba presents to the
+ MS Windows client only a print queue. The Samba <command>smbd</command> process passes a
+ print job sent to it from the Windows client to the native UNIX printing system. The native
+ UNIX printing system (spooler) places the job in a print queue from which it is
+ delivered to the printer. In this book, network diagrams refer to a printer by the name
+ of the print queue that services that printer. It does not matter what the fully qualified
+ name (or the hostname) of a network-attached printer is. The UNIX print spooler is configured
+ to correctly deliver all jobs to the printer.

+ to install Samba on Linux, provided it works without problems. There are two HP LaserJet
+ 5 PS printers that are network connected. The second printer is to be used for general
+ office and letter printing. Your recommendation to allow only the Linux server to print directly
+ to the printers was accepted. You have supplied SUSE Enterprise Linux Server 9 and

+ parameter in share and printer definitions. Using the <parameter>force user</parameter>
+ parameter ensures that all files are owned by same user identifier (UID) and thus that there
+ will never be a problem with file access due to file access permissions. Additionally, you elect
+ to use the <parameter>nt acl support = No</parameter> option to ensure that

+ The hypothetical software, FTM, is representative of

+ Some such applications were later ported to MS Windows but retain the uppercase network
+ resource naming conventions because customers are familiar with that. We made the decision

+ NetBIOS networking does not print directly to a printer. Instead, all printing is done to a

+ Abmas Accounting is a 40-year-old family-run business. There are nine permanent
+ computer users. The network clients were upgraded two years ago. All computers run Windows 2000
+ Professional. This year the server will be upgraded from an old Windows NT4 server (actually
+ running Windows NT4 Workstation, which worked fine for fewer than 10 users) that has
+ run in workgroup (standalone) mode, to a new Linux server running Samba.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The office does not want a Domain Server. Mr. Alan Meany wants to keep the Windows 2000 Professional
+ clients running as workgroup machines so that any staff member can take a machine home and keep
+ working. It has worked well so far, and your task is to replace the old server. All users have
+ their own workstation logon (you configured it that way when the machines were installed).
+ Mr. Meany wants the new system to operate the same way as the old Windows NT4 server &smbmdash; users
+ cannot access each others' files, but he can access everyone's files. Each person's work files are
+ in a separate share on the server. Users log on to their Windows workstation with their username
+ and enter an assigned password; they do not need to enter a password when accessing their files
+ on the server.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>Red Hat Linux</primary></indexterm>
+ The new server will run Red Hat Fedora Core2. You should install Samba-3.0.20 and
+ copy all files from the old system to the new one. The existing Windows NT4 server has a parallel
+ port HP LaserJet 4 printer that is shared by all. The printer driver is installed on each
+ workstation. You must not change anything on the workstations. Mr. Meany gave instructions to
+ replace the server, <quote>but leave everything else alone to avoid staff unrest.</quote>

+ The requirements of this network installation are not unusual. The staff are not interested in the

+ of User Mode security in a simple context. Directories should be set SGID to ensure that members
+ of a common group can access the contents. Each user has his or her own share to which only they
+ can connect. Mr. Meany's share will be a top-level directory above the share point for each employee.

+
+ <para>
+ In the anonymous server, the only account used is the <constant>guest</constant> account.

+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ How is the operation of the parameter <parameter>force user</parameter> different from
+ setting the root directory of the share SUID?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ The parameter <parameter>force user</parameter> causes all operations on the share to assume the UID
+ of the forced user. The new default GID that applies is the primary GID of the forced user.
+ This gives all users of this resource the actual privilege of the forced user.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When a directory is set SUID, the operating system forces files that are written within it
+ to be owned by the owner of the directory. While this happens, the user who is using the share
+ has only the level of privilege he or she is assigned within the operating system context.
+ </para>
+

+ What is better about CUPS printing than LPRng printing?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ CUPS is a print spooling system that has integrated remote management facilities, provides completely
+ automated print processing/preprocessing, and can be configured to automatically
+ apply print preprocessing filters to ensure that a print job submitted is correctly rendered for the
+ target printer. CUPS includes an image file RIP that supports printing of image files to
+ non-PostScript printers. CUPS has lots of bells and whistles and is more like a supercharged MS Windows
+ NT/200x print monitor and processor. Its complexity can be eliminated or turbocharged to suit
+ any fancy.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The LPRng software is an enhanced, extended, and portable implementation of the Berkeley LPR print
+ spooler functionality. It provides the same interface and meets RFC1179 requirements. LPRng can be
+ configured to act like CUPS, but it is in principle a replacement for the old Berkeley lpr/lpd
+ spooler. LPRng is generally preferred by those who are familiar with Berkeley lpr/lpd.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Which spooling system is better is a matter of personal taste. It depends on what you want to do and how you want to
+ do it and manage it. Most modern Linux systems ship with CUPS as the default print management system.

+ When should Windows client IP addresses be hard-coded?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ When there are few MS Windows clients, little client change, no mobile users, and users are not
+ inclined to tamper with network settings, it is a safe and convenient matter to hard-code Windows
+ client TCP/IP settings. Given that it is possible to lock down the Windows desktop and remove
+ user ability to access network configuration controls, fixed configuration eliminates the need
+ for a DHCP server. This reduces maintenance overheads and eliminates a possible point of network
+ failure.

+ Under what circumstances is it best to use a DHCP server?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ In network configurations where there are mobile users, or where Windows client PCs move around
+ (particularly between offices or between subnets), it makes complete sense to control all Windows
+ client configurations using a DHCP server. Additionally, when users do tamper with the network
+ settings, DHCP can be used to normalize all client settings.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ One underappreciated benefit of using a DHCP server to assign all network client
+ device TCP/IP settings is that it makes it a pain-free process to change network TCP/IP
+ settings, change network addressing, or enhance the ability of client devices to
+ benefit from new network services.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Another benefit of modern DHCP servers is their ability to register dynamically
+ assigned IP addresses with the DNS server. The benefits of Dynamic DNS (DDNS) are considerable in
+ a large Windows network environment.

+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ When would you set the global parameter <parameter>disable spoolss</parameter>?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ Setting this parameter to <constant>Yes</constant> disables Samba's support for the SPOOLSS set of
+ MS-RPCs and yields behavior identical to Samba 2.0.x. Windows NT/2000 clients can downgrade to
+ using LanMan style printing commands. Windows 9x/Me are unaffected by the parameter. However, this
+ disables the ability to upload printer drivers to a Samba server via the Windows NT/200x Add Printer
+ Wizard or by using the NT printer properties dialog window. It also disables the capability of
+ Windows NT/200x clients to download print drivers from the Samba host on demand. Be extremely careful about
+ setting this parameter.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The alternate parameter <parameter>use client driver</parameter> applies only to Windows NT/200x clients. It has no
+ effect on Windows 95/98/Me clients. When serving a printer to Windows NT/200x clients without first installing a valid
+ printer driver on the Samba host, the client is required to install a local printer driver. From this point on,
+ the client treats the printer as a local printer and not a network printer connection. This is much the same behavior
+ that occurs when <parameter>disable spoolss = yes</parameter>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Under normal circumstances, the NT/200x client attempts to open the network printer using MS-RPC. Because the client
+ considers the printer to be local, it attempts to issue the <parameter>OpenPrinterEx()</parameter> call requesting
+ access rights associated with the logged on user. If the user possesses local administrator rights but not root
+ privilege on the Samba host (often the case), the <parameter>OpenPrinterEx()</parameter> call fails. The result is
+ that the client now displays an <quote>Access Denied; Unable to connect</quote> message in the printer queue window
+ (even though jobs may be printed successfully). This parameter MUST not be enabled on a print share that has a valid
+ print driver installed on the Samba server.

+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ Why would you disable password caching on Windows 9x/Me clients?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ Windows 9x/Me workstations that are set at default (password caching enabled) store the username and
+ password in files located in the Windows master directory. Such files can be scavenged (read off a client
+ machine) and decrypted, thus revealing the user's access credentials for all systems the user may have accessed.
+ It is most insecure to allow any Windows 9x/Me client to operate with password caching enabled.

+ The example of Abmas Accounting uses User Mode security. How does this provide anonymous access?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ The example used does not provide anonymous access. Since the clients are all Windows 2000 Professional,
+ and given that users are logging onto their machines, by default the client attempts to connect to
+ a remote server using currently logged in user credentials. By ensuring that the user's login ID and
+ password are the same as those set on the Samba server, access is transparent and does not require
+ separate user authentication.

+ few teething problems during the changeover, nothing serious but a little
+ disruptive all the same. Users were exposed to many changes at once. The
+ network administrator was asked to resign two months after implementing

+ and that he would be available 24 hours a day to help them transition.
+ One week after conversion, he held another meeting asking for cooperation
+ in the introduction of a few new features that would help to make life
+ easier. Network users were thrilled with the help he provided. The network
+ he implemented was nowhere near as complex as in the first example, had fewer
+ features, and yet he had happy users. Months later he was still adding
+ new innovations. He always asked the users if a
+ particular feature was what they wanted. He asked his boss for a raise

+
+ <para>
+ Abmas Accounting has grown. Mr. Meany likes you and says he knew you
+ were the right person for the job. That's why he asked you to install the
+ new server. The past few months have been hard work. You advised Mr. Meany
+ that it is time for a change. Abmas now has 52 users, having acquired an
+ investment consulting business recently. The new users were added to the

+ Mr. Meany is retiring in 12 months. Before he goes, he wants you to help ensure
+ that the business is running efficiently. Many of the new staff want notebook
+ computers. They visit customer business premises and need to use local network
+ facilities; these users are technically competent. The company uses a
+ business application that requires Windows XP Professional. In short, a complete
+ client upgrade is about to happen. Mr. Meany told you that he is working
+ on another business acquisition and that by the time he retires there will be
+ 80 to 100 users.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Mr. Meany is not concerned about security. He wants to make it easier for
+ staff to do their work. He has hired you to help him appoint a full-time
+ network manager before he retires. Above all, he says he is investing in
+ the ability to grow. He is determined to live his lifelong dream and
+ hand the business over to a bright and capable executive who can make
+ things happen. This means your network design must cope well with
+ growth.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In a few months, Abmas will require an Internet connection for email and so
+ that staff can easily obtain software updates. Mr. Meany is warming up to

+
+ <para>
+ What is the key benefit of using DHCP to configure Windows client TCP/IP stacks?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ First and foremost, portability. It means that notebook users can move between
+ the Abmas office and client offices (so long as they, too, use DHCP) without having to manually
+ reconfigure their machines. It also means that when they work from their home environments
+ either using DHCP assigned addressing or when using dial-up networking, settings such as
+ default routes and DNS server addresses that apply only to the Abmas office environment do
+ not interfere with remote operations. This is an extremely important feature of DHCP.
+ </para>
+
+ </answer>
+ </qandaentry>
+
+ <qandaentry>
+ <question>
+
+ <para>
+ Are there any DHCP server configuration parameters in the <filename>/etc/dhcpd.conf</filename>
+ that should be noted in particular?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ Yes. The configuration you created automatically provides each client with the IP address
+ of your WINS server. It also configures the client to preferentially register NetBIOS names
+ with the WINS server, and then instructs the client to first query the WINS server when a
+ NetBIOS machine name needs to be resolved to an IP Address. This configuration
+ results in far lower UDP broadcast traffic than would be the case if WINS was not used.
+ </para>

+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ You can surely create a Windows Domain account called <constant>Administrator</constant>. It is also
+ possible to map that account so that it has the effective UNIX UID of 0. This way it isn't
+ necessary to use the <parameter>username map</parameter> facility to map this account to the UNIX
+ account called <constant>root</constant>.

+ <para>
+ Why is it necessary to give the Windows Domain <constant>Administrator</constant> a UNIX UID of 0?
+ </para>
+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ The Windows Domain <constant>Administrator</constant> account is the most privileged account that
+ exists on the Windows platform. This user can change any setting, add, delete, or modify user
+ accounts, and completely reconfigure the system. The equivalent to this account in the UNIX
+ environment is the <constant>root</constant> account. If you want to permit the Windows Domain
+ Administrator to manage accounts as well as permissions, privileges, and security
+ settings within the Domain and on the Samba server, equivalent rights must be assigned. This is
+ achieved with the <constant>root</constant> UID equal to 0.

+
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+
+ <para>
+ If you elect to change the name of the Samba server, on restarting <command>smbd</command>,
+ Windows security identifiers are changed. In the case of a standalone server or a Domain Member server,
+ the machine SID is changed. This may break Domain membership. In the case of a change of the Domain name
+ (Workgroup name), the Domain SID is changed. This affects all Domain memberships.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If it becomes necessary to change either the server name or the Domain name, be sure to back up the respective
+ SID before the change is made. You can back up the SID using the <command>net getlocalsid</command> (Samba-3)
+ or the <command>smbpasswd</command> (Samba-2.2.x). To change the SID, you use the same tool. Be sure

+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>migrate</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>install</primary></indexterm>
+It was a little difficult to select an appropriate title for this chapter.
+From email messages on the Samba mailing lists it is clear that many people
+consider the updating and upgrading of Samba to be a migration matter. Others
+talk about migrating Samba servers when in fact the issue at hand is one of
+installing a new Samba server to replace an older existing Samba server.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>smbpasswd</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>passdb backend</primary></indexterm>
+There has also been much talk about migration of Samba-3 from an smbpasswd
+passdb backend to the use of the tdbsam or ldapsam facilities that are new
+to Samba-3.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Clearly, there is not a great deal of clarity in the terminology that various
+people apply to these modes by which Samba servers are updated. This is further
+highlighted by an email posting that included the following neat remark:
+</para>
+
+<blockquote><para>
+<indexterm><primary>net</primary><secondary>rpc</secondary><tertiary>vampire</tertiary></indexterm>
+I like the <quote>net rpc vampire</quote> on NT4, but that to my surprise does
+not seem to work against a Samba PDC and, if addressed in the Samba to Samba
+context in either book, I could not find it.

+So in response to the significant request for these situations to be better

+A Windows network administrator explained in an email what changes he was
+planning to make and followed with the question: <quote>Anyone done this
+before?</quote> Many of us have upgraded and updated Samba without incident.
+Others have experienced much pain and user frustration. So it is to be hoped
+that the notes in this chapter will make a positive difference by assuring

+<para>
+Before anyone commences an upgrade or an update of Samba, the one cardinal
+rule that must be observed is: Backup all Samba configuration files in
+case it is necessary to revert to the old version. Even if you do not like
+this precautionary step, users will punish an administrator who
+fails to take adequate steps to avoid situations that may inflict lost
+productivity on them.

+<warning><para>
+<indexterm><primary>configuration files</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>down-grade</primary></indexterm>
+Samba makes it possible to upgrade and update configuration files, but it
+is not possible to downgrade the configuration files. Please ensure that
+all configuration and control files are backed up to permit a down-grade
+in the rare event that this may be necessary.
+</para></warning>
+
+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>adequate precautions</primary></indexterm>
+<indexterm><primary>precaution</primary></indexterm>
+It is prudent also to backup all data files on the server before attempting
+to perform a major upgrade. Many administrators have experienced the consequences
+of failure to take adequate precautions. So what is adequate? That is simple!
+If data is lost during an upgrade or update and it can not be restored,
+the precautions taken were inadequate. If a backup was not needed, but was available,
+caution was on the side of the victor.

+ <title>Cautions and Notes</title>

+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>update</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>upgrade</primary></indexterm>
+ <indexterm><primary>generation</primary></indexterm>
+ This is as good a time as any to define the terms <constant>upgrade</constant> and
+ <constant>update</constant>. The term <constant>upgrade</constant> refers to
+ the installation of a version of Samba that is a whole generation or more ahead of
+ that which is installed. Generations are indicated by the first digit of the version
+ number. So far Samba has been released in generations 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, and currently 4.0
+ is in development.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>generation</primary></indexterm>
+ The term <constant>update</constant> refers to a minor version number installation
+ in place of one of the same generation. For example, updating from Samba 3.0.10 to 3.0.14
+ is an update. The move from Samba 2.0.7 to 3.0.14 is an upgrade.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>functional differences</primary></indexterm>
+ While the use of these terms is an exercise in semantics, what needs to be realized
+ is that there are major functional differences between a Samba 2.x release and a Samba
+ 3.0.x release. Such differences may require a significantly different approach to
+ solving the same networking challenge and generally require careful review of the
+ latest documentation to identify precisely how the new installation may need to be
+ modified to preserve prior functionality.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ There is an old axiom that says, <quote>The greater the volume of the documentation,
+ the greater the risk that noone will read it, but where there is no documentation,
+ noone can read it!</quote> While true, some documentation is an evil necessity.
+ It is hoped that this update to the documentation will avoid both extremes.

+ name of the machine or for the current name of the workgroup, a new SID will be generated and
+ then written to the <filename>secrets.tdb</filename> file. The SID is generated in a nondeterminative

+==========================================================
+Changes in Behavior
+-------------------
+
+The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
+Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
+
+ 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
+ map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
+ if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
+ rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
+ current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
+
+ 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
+ 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
+ machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
+ script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
+ not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
+ an 'add machine script'
+
+######################################################################
+Passdb Backends and Authentication
+##################################
+
+There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
+aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
+
+ 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
+ inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
+ installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
+ must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
+ must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
+
+ 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
+ with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
+ Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
+
+ MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
+ type which is necessary for servers on which the
+ administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
+ SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
+ Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
+ distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
+
+
+Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
+of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
+backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
+man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
+values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
+values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
+
+The recommended passdb backends at this time are
+
+ * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
+ * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
+ replacement for stand alone servers
+ * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
+ backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
+ * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
+ backend
+
+Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
+new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
+utility. See the respective man pages for details.
+
+######################################################################
+LDAP
+####
+
+This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
+integration.
+
+New Schema
+----------
+
+A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
+the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
+attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
+There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
+modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
+
+Example:
+
+ $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." &gt; sambaAcct.ldif
+ $ convertSambaAccount --sid=&lt;Domain SID&gt; \
+ --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
+ --changetype=[modify|add]
+
+The &lt;DOM SID&gt; can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
+&lt;DOMAINNAME&gt;' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
+the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
+or modify existing entries.
+
+The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
+"ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
+associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
+the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
+The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
+in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
+
+Other new object classes and their uses include:
+
+ * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
+ for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
+ in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
+ an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
+ passdb backend has been selected.
+
+ * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
+ relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
+ group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
+ group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
+
+ * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
+ automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
+ 'idmap gid'
+
+ * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
+ SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
+ idmap_ldap module as needed.
+
+ * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
+ class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
+
+
+New Suffix for Searching
+------------------------
+
+The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
+certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
+specified.
+
+ * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
+ * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
+ * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
+ * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
+ * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
+
+If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
+remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
+listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
+in the list.
+
+Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
+the DN's with quotation marks.

+The key concern in this section is to deal with the changes that have been

+The information in <link linkend="sbeug1"/> would not be necessary if every

+</para>
+
+<para>
+<indexterm><primary>vendors</primary></indexterm>
+Vendors and packagers who produce Samba binary installable packages do not,
+as a rule, use the default paths used by the Samba-Team for the location of
+the binary files, the &smb.conf; file, and the Samba control files (tdb's
+as well as files such as <filename>secrets.tdb</filename>). This means that
+the network or UNIX administrator who sets out to build the Samba executable
+files from the Samba tarball must take particular care. Failure to take care
+will result in both the original vendor's version of Samba remaining installed
+and the new version being installed in the default location used
+by the Samba-Team. This can lead to confusion and to much lost time as the
+uninformed administrator deals with apparent failure of the update to take
+effect.
+</para>
+

+<indexterm><primary>packages</primary></indexterm>
+The best advice for those lacking in code compilation experience is to use

+If you are not sure whether a binary package complies with the OS

+email than to waste much time dealing with the nuances.
+Alternately, just diagnose the paths specified by the binary files following
+the procedure outlined above.

+ <title>Replacing a Domain Controller</title>
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>domain</primary><secondary>controller</secondary></indexterm>
+ In the past, people who replaced a Windows NT4 domain controller typically
+ installed a new server, created printers and file shares on it, then migrate across
+ all data that was destined to reside on it. The same can of course be done with
+ Samba.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ From recent mailing list postings it would seem that some administrators
+ have the intent to just replace the old Samba server with a new one with
+ the same name as the old one. In this case, simply follow the same process
+ as for upgrading a Samba 2.x system and do the following:
+ </para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Where UNIX (POSIX) user and group accounts are stored in the system
+ <filename>/etc/passwd</filename>, <filename>/etc/shadow</filename>, and
+ <filename>/etc/group</filename> files, be sure to add the same accounts
+ with identical UID and GID values for each user.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Where LDAP is used, if the new system is intended to be the LDAP server,
+ migrate it across by configuring the LDAP server
+ (<filename>/etc/openldap/slapd.conf</filename>). The directory can
+ be populated either initially by setting this LDAP server up as a slave or
+ by dumping the data from the old LDAP server using the <command>slapcat</command>
+ command and then reloading the same data into the new LDAP server using the
+ <command>slapadd</command> command. Do not forget to install and configure
+ the <command>nss_ldap</command> tool and the <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>
+ (as shown in <link linkend="happy"/>).
+ </para></listitem>

+
+ <listitem><para>

+ from the old system to the correct location on the new system.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>

+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>
+ When replacing a Samba domain controller (PDC or BDC) that uses LDAP, the new server
+ need simply be configured to use the LDAP directory, and for the rest it should just
+ work. The domain SID is obtained from the LDAP directory as part of the first connect
+ to the LDAP directory server.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ All Samba servers, other than one that uses LDAP, depend on the tdb files, and
+ particularly on the <filename>secrets.tdb</filename> file. So long as the tdb files are
+ all in place, the &smb.conf; file is preserved, and either the hostname is identical
+ or the <parameter>netbios name</parameter> is set to the original server name, Samba
+ should correctly pick up the original SID and preserve all other settings. It is
+ sound advice to validate this before turning the system over to users.

+ <title>Migration of Samba Accounts to Active Directory</title>

+ to MS Active Directory. There are a few pitfalls to be aware of:
+ </para>
+
+ <procedure>
+ <title>Migration to Active Directory</title>
+
+ <step><para>
+ Administrator password must be THE SAME on the Samba server,
+ the 2003 ADS, and the local Administrator account on the workstations.
+ Perhaps this goes without saying, but there needs to be an account
+ called <constant>Administrator</constant> in your Samba domain, with
+ full administrative (root) rights to that domain.
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ In the Advanced/DNS section of the TCP/IP settings on your Windows
+ workstations, make sure the <parameter>DNS suffix for this
+ connection</parameter> field is blank.
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ Because you are migrating from Samba, user passwords cannot be
+ migrated. You'll have to reset everyone's passwords. (If you were
+ migrating from NT4 to ADS, you could migrate passwords as well.)
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To date this has not been attempted with roaming profile support;
+ it has been documented as working with local profiles.
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ Disable the Windows Firewall on all workstations. Otherwise,
+ workstations won't be migrated to the new domain.
+ </para></step>
+
+ <step><para>
+ <indexterm><primary>ADMT</primary></indexterm>
+ When migrating machines, always test first (using ADMT's test mode)
+ and satisfy all errors before committing the migration. Note that the
+ test will always fail, because the machine will not have been actually
+ migrated. You'll need to interpret the errors to know whether the
+ failure was due to a problem or simply to the fact that it was just
+ a test.
+ </para></step>
+
+ </procedure>
+
+
+ <para>
+ <indexterm><primary>ADMT</primary></indexterm>
+ There are some significant benefits of using the ADMT, besides just
+ migrating user accounts. ADMT can be found on the Windows 2003 CD.
+ </para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ You can migrate workstations remotely. You can specify that SIDs
+ be simply added instead of replaced, giving you the option of joining a
+ workstation back to the old domain if something goes awry. The
+ workstations will be joined to the new domain.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ Not only are user accounts migrated from the old domain to the new
+ domain, but ACLs on the workstations are migrated as well. Like SIDs,
+ ACLs can be added instead of replaced.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ Locally stored user profiles on workstations are migrated as well,
+ presenting almost no disruption to the user. Saved passwords will be
+ lost, just as when you administratively reset the password in Windows ADS.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ The ADMT lets you test all operations before actually performing the
+ migration. Accounts and workstations can be migrated individually or in
+ batches. User accounts can be safely migrated all at once (since no
+ changes are made on the original domain). It is recommended to migrate only one
+ or two workstations as a test before committing them all.

+<title>Foreword</title>
+
+<sect1><title>By John M. Weathersby, OSSI</title>
+<blockquote>
+<attribution>
+Executive Director, Open Source Software Institute
+</attribution>
+
+<para>
+The Open Source Software Institute (OSSI) is comprised of representatives from a broad spectrum of business and
+non-business organizations that share a common interest in the promotion of development and implementation
+of open-source software solutions globally, and in particular within the United States of America.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The OSSI has global affiliations with like-minded organizations. Our affiliate in the United Kingdom is the
+Open Source Consortium. Both the OSSI and the OSC share a common objective to expand the use of open-source
+software in federal, state, and municipal government agencies; and in academic institutions. We represent
+businesses that provide professional support services that answer the needs of our target organizational
+information technology consumers in an effective and cost-efficient manner.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Open source software has matured greatly over the past 5 years with the result that an increasing number of
+people who hold key decision-making positions want to know how the business model works. They
+want to understand how problems get resolved, how questions get answered, and how the development model
+is sustained. Information and Communications Technology directors in defense organizations, and in other
+government agencies that deal with sensitive information, want to become familiar with development road-maps
+and, in particular, seek to evaluate the track record of the main-stream open-source project teams.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Wherever the OSSI gains entrance to new opportunities we find that Microsoft Windows technologies are the
+benchmark against which open-source software solutions are measured. Two open-source software projects
+are key to our ability to present a structured and convincing proposition that there are alternatives
+to the incumbent proprietary means of meeting information technology needs. They are the Apache Web Server
+and Samba.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Just as the Apache Web Server is the standard in web serving technology, Samba is the definitive standard
+for providing interoperability with UNIX systems and other non-Microsoft operating system platforms. Both
+open-source applications have a truly remarkable track record that extends well over a decade. Both have
+demonstrated the unique capacity to innovate and maintain a level of development that has not only kept
+pace with demands, but, in many areas, each project has also proven to be an industry leader.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+One of the areas in which the Samba project has demonstrated key leadership is in documentation. The OSSI
+was delighted when we saw the Samba Team, and John H. Terpstra in particular, release two amazingly
+well-written books to help Samba software users deploy, maintain, and troubleshoot Windows networking
+installations. We were concerned that, given the large volume of documentation, the challenge to maintain
+it and keep it current might prove difficult.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This second edition of the book, <quote>Samba-3 by Example</quote>, barely one year following the release
+of the first edition, has removed all concerns and is proof that open-source solutions are a compelling choice.
+The first edition was released shortly following the release of Samba version 3.0 itself, and has become
+the authoritative instrument for training and for guiding deployment.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+I am personally aware of how much effort has gone into this second edition. John Terpstra has worked with
+government bodies and with large organizations that have deployed Samba-3 since it was released. He also
+worked to ensure that this book gained community following. He asked those who have worked at the coalface
+of large and small organizations alike, to contribute their experiences. He has captured that in this book
+and has succeeded yet again. His recipe is persistence, intuition, and a high level of respect for the people
+who use Samba.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This book is the first source you should turn to before you deploy Samba and as you are mastering its
+deployment. I am proud and excited to be associated in a small way with such a useful tool. This book has
+reached maturity that is demonstrated by reiteration that every step in deployment must be validated.
+This book makes it easy to succeed, and difficult to fail, to gain a stable network environment.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+I recommend this book for use by all IT managers and network administrators.
+</para>

+ The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol is a technology that

+ 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

+<title>About the Cover Artwork</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The cover artwork of this book continues the freedom theme of the first
+ edition of <quote>Samba-3 by Example</quote>. The history of civilization
+ demonstrates the fragile nature of freedom. It can be lost in a moment,
+ and once lost, the cost of recovering liberty can be incredible. The last
+ edition cover featured Alfred the Great who liberated England from the
+ constant assault of Vikings and Norsemen. Events in England that
+ that finally liberated the common people came about in small steps, but
+ the result should not be under-estimated. Today, as always, freedom and
+ liberty are seldom appreciated until they are lost. If we can not quantify
+ what is the value of freedom, we shall be little motivated to protect it.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <emphasis>Samba-3 by Example Cover Artwork:</emphasis> The British houses
+ of parliament are a symbol of the Westminster system of government. This form
+ of government permits the people to govern themselves at the lowest level, yet
+ it provides for courts of appeal that are designed to protect freedom and to
+ hold back all forces of tyranny. The clock is a pertinent symbol of the
+ importance of time and place.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The information technology industry is being challenged by the imposition of
+ new laws, hostile litigation, and the imposition of significant constraint
+ of practice that threatens to remove the freedom to develop and deploy open
+ source software solutions. Samba is a software solution that epitomizes freedom
+ of choice in network interoperability for Microsoft Windows clients.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ I hope you will take the time needed to deploy it well, and that you may realize
+ the greatest benefits may be obtained. You are free to use it in ways never
+ considered, but in doing so there may be some obstacles. Every obstacle that is
+ overcome adds to the freedom you can enjoy. Use Samba well, and it will serve
+ you well.

+ <title>Preface</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Network administrators live busy lives. We face distractions and pressures
+ that drive us to seek proven, working case scenarios that can be easily
+ implemented. Often this approach lands us in trouble. There is a
+ saying that, geometrically speaking, the shortest distance between two
+ points is a straight line, but practically we find that the quickest
+ route to a stable network solution is the long way around.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This book is your means to the straight path. It provides step-by-step,
+ proven, working examples of Samba deployments. If you want to deploy
+ Samba-3 with the least effort, or if you want to become an expert at deploying
+ Samba-3 without having to search through lots of documentation, this
+ book is the ticket to your destination.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Samba is software that can be run on a platform other than Microsoft Windows,
+ for example, UNIX, Linux, IBM System 390, OpenVMS, and other operating systems.
+ Samba uses the TCP/IP protocol that is installed on the host server. When
+ correctly configured, it allows that host to interact with a Microsoft Windows
+ client or server as if it is a Windows file and print server. This book
+ will help you to implement Windows-compatible file and print services.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The examples presented in this book are typical of various businesses and
+ reflect the problems and challenges they face. Care has been taken to preserve
+ attitudes, perceptions, practices, and demands from real network case studies.
+ The maximum benefit may be obtained from this book by working carefully through
+ each exercise. You may be in a hurry to satisfy a specific need, so feel
+ free to locate the example that most closely matches your need, copy it, and
+ innovate as much as you like. Above all, enjoy the process of learning the
+ secrets of MS Windows networking that is truly liberated by Samba.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The focus of attention in this book is Samba-3. Specific notes are made in
+ respect of how Samba may be made secure. This book does not attempt to provide
+ detailed information regarding secure operation and configuration of peripheral
+ services and applications such as OpenLDAP, DNS and DHCP, the need for which
+ can be met from other resources that are dedicated to the subject.
+ </para>
+
+ <sect1>
+ <title>Why Is This Book Necessary?</title>
+
+ <para>
+ This book is the result of observations and feedback. The feedback from
+ the Samba-HOWTO-Collection has been positive and complimentary. There
+ have been requests for far more worked examples, a
+ <quote>Samba Cookbook,</quote> and for training materials to
+ help kick-start the process of mastering Samba.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The Samba mailing lists users have asked for sample configuration files
+ that work. It is natural to question one's own ability to correctly
+ configure a complex tool such as Samba until a minimum necessary
+ knowledge level has been attained.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The Samba-HOWTO-Collection, as do <emphasis>The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and
+ Reference Guide</emphasis>, document Samba features and functionality in
+ a topical context. This book takes a completely different approach. It
+ walks through Samba network configurations that are working within particular
+ environmental contexts, providing documented step-by-step implementations.
+ All example case configuration files, scripts, and other tools are provided
+ on the CD-ROM. This book is descriptive, provides detailed diagrams, and
+ makes deployment of Samba-3 a breeze.
+ </para>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Samba 3.0.20 Update Edition</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The Samba 3.0.x series has been remarkably popular. At the time this book first
+ went to print samba-3.0.2 was being released. There have been significant modifications
+ and enhancements between samba-3.0.2 and samba-3.0.14 (the current release) that
+ necessitate this documentation update. This update has the specific intent to
+ refocus this book so that its guidance can be followed for samba-3.0.20
+ and beyond. Further changes are expected as Samba-3 matures further and will
+ be reflected in future updates.

+ This book is not a tutorial on UNIX or Linux administration. UNIX and Linux
+ training is best obtained from books dedicated to the subject. This book
+ assumes that you have at least the basic skill necessary to use these operating
+ systems, and that you can use a basic system editor to edit and configure files.
+ It has been written with the assumption that you have experience with Samba,
+ have read <emphasis>The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide</emphasis> and
+ the Samba-HOWTO-Collection, or that you have familiarity with Microsoft Windows.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you do not have this experience, you can follow the examples in this book but may

+ <title>Approach</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The first chapter deals with some rather thorny network analysis issues. Do not be
+ put off by this. The information you glean, even without a detailed understanding
+ of network protocol analysis, can help you understand how Windows networking functions.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Each following chapter of this book opens with the description of a networking solution
+ sought by a hypothetical site. Bob Jordan is a hypothetical decision maker
+ for an imaginary company, <constant>Abmas Biz NL</constant>. We will use the
+ non-existent domain name <constant>abmas.biz</constant>. All <emphasis>facts</emphasis>
+ presented regarding this company are fictitious and have been drawn from a variety of real
+ business scenarios over many years. Not one of these reveal the identify of the
+ real-world company from which the scenario originated.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In any case, Mr. Jordan likes to give all his staff nasty little assignments.
+ Stanley Saroka is one of his proteges; Christine Roberson is the network administrator
+ Bob trusts. Jordan is inclined to treat other departments well because they finance
+ Abmas IT operations.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Each chapter presents a summary of the network solution we have chosen to
+ demonstrate together with a rationale to help you to understand the
+ thought process that drove that solution. The chapter then documents in precise
+ detail all configuration files and steps that must be taken to implement the
+ example solution. Anyone wishing to gain serious value from this book will
+ do well to take note of the implications of points made, so watch out for the
+ <emphasis>this means that</emphasis> notations.

+ <title>GNU General Public License</title>
+ <sect1>
+ <title>Preamble</title>
+ <para> The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+ freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
+ intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
+ free software - to make sure the software is free for all its users.
+ This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+ Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit
+ to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered
+ by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it
+ to your programs, too.
+ </para>
+ <para> When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.
+ Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the
+ freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
+ service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+ want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
+ programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+ </para>
+ <para> To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone
+ to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These
+ restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute
+ copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+ </para>
+ <para> For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or
+ for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You
+ must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you
+ must show them these terms so they know their rights.
+ </para>
+ <para> We protect your rights with two steps:
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para> copyright the software, and
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para> offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+ distribute and/or modify the software.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+ </para>
+ <para> Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
+ everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If
+ the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its
+ recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any
+ problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'
+ reputations.
+ </para>
+ <para> Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.
+ We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
+ individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
+ proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be
+ licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+ </para>
+ <para> The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
+ follow.
+ </para>
+ </sect1>
+ <sect1>
+ <title>TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</title>
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Section 0</title>
+ <para> This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
+ placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms
+ of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such
+ program or work, and a
+ <quote>work based on the Program
+ </quote> means either
+ the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
+ work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
+ modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation
+ is included without limitation in the term
+ <quote>modification
+ </quote>.) Each licensee is addressed as <quote>you</quote>.
+ </para>
+ <para> Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by
+ this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not
+ restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
+ constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running
+ the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2 id="sect1">
+ <title>Section 1</title>
+ <para> You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+ receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
+ publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty;
+ keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
+ warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+ along with the Program.
+ </para>
+ <para> You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at
+ your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2 id="sect2">
+ <title>Section 2</title>
+ <para> You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus
+ forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications
+ or work under the terms of
+ <link linkend="sect1">Section 1
+ </link> above, provided
+ that you also meet all of these conditions:
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para> You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
+ you changed the files and the date of any change.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para> You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or
+ in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
+ licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of
+ this License.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para> If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you
+ must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most
+ ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate
+ copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying
+ that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program
+ under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+ License.
+ <note>
+ <title>Exception:
+ </title>
+ <para> If the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an
+ announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an
+ announcement.)
+ </para>
+ </note>
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+ </para>
+ <para> These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections
+ of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered
+ independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,
+ do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when
+ you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the
+ Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose
+ permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and
+ every part regardless of who wrote it.
+ </para>
+ <para> Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights
+ to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control
+ the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
+ </para>
+ <para> In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program
+ (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium
+ does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Section 3
+ </title>
+ <para> You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
+ <link linkend="sect2">Section 2
+ </link> in object code or executable form under the terms of
+ <link linkend="sect1">Sections 1
+ </link> and
+ <link linkend="sect2">2
+ </link> above provided that you also do one of the following:
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para> Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
+ must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+ customarily used for software interchange; or,
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para> Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any
+ third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source
+ distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code,
+ to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
+ used for software interchange; or,
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para> Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute
+ corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial
+ distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form
+ with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+ </para>
+ <para> The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications
+ to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules
+ it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
+ compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source
+ code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
+ binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system
+ on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
+ </para>
+ <para> If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a
+ designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place
+ counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to
+ copy the source along with the object code.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Section 4
+ </title>
+ <para> You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided
+ under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
+ Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
+ parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
+ licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Section 5
+ </title>
+ <para> You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing
+ else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works.
+ These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying
+ or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance
+ of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or
+ modifying the Program or works based on it.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Section 6
+ </title>
+ <para> Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient
+ automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify
+ the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions
+ on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
+ compliance by third parties to this License.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Section 7
+ </title>
+ <para> If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other
+ reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
+ agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you
+ from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
+ your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence
+ you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit
+ royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or
+ indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be
+ to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+ </para>
+ <para> If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance,
+ the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply
+ in other circumstances.
+ </para>
+ <para> It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property
+ right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of
+ protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public
+ license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
+ distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up
+ to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other
+ system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
+ </para>
+ <para> This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the
+ rest of this License.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Section 8
+ </title>
+ <para> If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents
+ or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+ may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
+ distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License
+ incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Section 9
+ </title>
+ <para> The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License
+ from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ
+ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
+ </para>
+ <para> Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of
+ this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms
+ and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+ Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any
+ version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Section 10
+ </title>
+ <para> If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution
+ conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted
+ by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions
+ for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
+ derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2>
+<title>NO WARRANTY Section 11
+ </title>
+ <para> BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT
+ PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
+ OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
+ INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+ PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
+ PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Section 12
+ </title>
+ <para> IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR
+ ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
+ FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
+ USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
+ INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH
+ ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+ DAMAGES.

+ <sect1>
+ <title>How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+ </title>
+ <para>
+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+ possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+ free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
+ to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+ convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+ the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ &lt;one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.&gt;
+ Copyright (C) &lt;year&gt; &lt;name of author&gt;
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+ it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+ the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
+ (at your option) any later version.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
+ GNU General Public License for more details.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+ along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
+ Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+ when it starts in an interactive mode:
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
+ Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+ This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+ under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+ parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
+ be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
+ mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+ school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
+ necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

+ This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
+ proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
+ consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
+ library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
+ Public License instead of this License.

+
+<para>
+This section of <emphasis>Samba-3 by Example</emphasis> provides example network
+configurations that can be copied, or modified as needed, and deployed as-is.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Best use can be made of this book by finding in this section the network design and
+layout that best approximates your estimated needs. It is recommended that you will
+implement the design pattern exactly as it appears, then after the installation has
+been proven to work make any changes or modifications needed at your site.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The examples have been tested with Red Hat Fedora Core 2, Novell SUSE Linux Professional
+9.2 and Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 9. The principals of implementation
+apply to all Linux and UNIX systems in general, though some system files and tools will
+be different and the location of some Samba file locations will be different since these
+are determined by the person who packages Samba for each platform.
