+<title>Samba as a ADS domain member</title>
+
+<para>
+This is a rough guide to setting up Samba 3.0 with kerberos authentication against a
+Windows2000 KDC.
+</para>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Setup your <filename>smb.conf</filename></title>
+
+<para>You must use at least the following 3 options in smb.conf:</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ realm = YOUR.KERBEROS.REALM
+ security = ADS
+ encrypt passwords = yes
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+In case samba can't figure out your ads server using your realm name, use the
+<command>ads server</command> option in <filename>smb.conf</filename>:
+<programlisting>
+ ads server = your.kerberos.server
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+
+<note><para>You do *not* need a smbpasswd file, and older clients will
+ be authenticated as if <command>security = domain</command>,
+ although it won't do any harm
+ and allows you to have local users not in the domain.
+ I expect that the above required options will change soon when we get better
+ active directory integration.</para></note>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Setup your <filename>/etc/krb5.conf</filename></title>
+
+<para>Note: you will need the krb5 workstation, devel, and libs installed</para>
+
+<para>The minimal configuration for <filename>krb5.conf</filename> is:</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ [realms]
+ YOUR.KERBEROS.REALM = {
+ kdc = your.kerberos.server
+ }
+</programlisting></para>
+

+<replaceable>USERNAME</replaceable>@<replaceable>REALM</replaceable></userinput> and
+making sure that your password is accepted by the Win2000 KDC.
+</para>
+
+<note><para>The realm must be uppercase or you will get "Cannot find KDC for requested
+realm while getting initial credentials" error </para></note>
+
+<note><para>Time between the two servers must be synchronized. You will get a
+"kinit(v5): Clock skew too great while getting initial credentials" if the time
+difference is more than five minutes. </para></note>
+
+<para>
+You also must ensure that you can 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 (ie. the hostname with no
+domain attached) or it can alternatively be the netbios name
+followed by the realm.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The easiest way to ensure you get this right is to add a
+<filename>/etc/hosts</filename> entry mapping the IP address of your KDC to
+its netbios name. If you don't get this right then you will get a
+"local error" when you try to join the realm.

+<title>Advanced Network Manangement</title>
+
+<para>
+This section attempts to document peripheral issues that are of great importance to network
+administrators who want to improve network resource access control, to automate the user
+environment, and to make their lives a little easier.
+</para>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Configuring Samba Share Access Controls</title>
+
+<para>
+This section deals with how to configure Samba per share access control restrictions.
+By default samba sets no restrictions on the share itself. Restrictions on the share itself
+can be set on MS Windows NT4/200x/XP shares. This can be a very effective way to limit who can
+connect to a share. In the absence of specific restrictions the default setting is to allow
+the global user <emphasis>Everyone</emphasis> Full Control (ie: Full control, Change and Read).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+At this time Samba does NOT provide a tool for configuring access control setting on the Share
+itself. Samba does have the capacity to store and act on access control settings, but the only
+way to create those settings is to use either the NT4 Server Manager or the Windows 200x MMC for
+Computer Management.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Samba stores the per share access control settings in a file called <filename>share_info.tdb</filename>.
+The location of this file on your system will depend on how samba was compiled. The default location
+for samba's tdb files is under <filename>/usr/local/samba/var</filename>. If the <filename>tdbdump</filename>
+utility has been compiled and installed on your system then you can examine the contents of this file
+by: <userinput>tdbdump share_info.tdb</userinput>.
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Share Permissions Management</title>
+
+<para>
+The best tool for the task is platform dependant. Choose the best tool for your environmemt.
+</para>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Windows NT4 Workstation/Server</title>
+<para>
+The tool you need to use to manage share permissions on a Samba server is the NT Server Manager.
+Server Manager is shipped with Windows NT4 Server products but not with Windows NT4 Workstation.
+You can obtain the NT Server Manager for MS Windows NT4 Workstation from Microsoft - see details below.
+</para>
+
+<procedure>
+<title>Instructions</title>
+<step><para>
+Launch the NT4 Server Manager, click on the Samba server you want to administer, then from the menu
+select Computer, then click on the Shared Directories entry.
+</para></step>
+
+<step><para>
+ Now click on the share that you wish to manage, then click on the Properties tab, next click on
+ the Permissions tab. Now you can Add or change access control settings as you wish.
+</para></step>
+</procedure>
+
+</sect3>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Windows 200x/XP</title>
+
+<para>
+On MS Windows NT4/200x/XP system access control lists on the share itself are set using native
+tools, usually from filemanager. For example, in Windows 200x: right click on the shared folder,
+then select 'Sharing', then click on 'Permissions'. The default Windows NT4/200x permission allows
+<emphasis>Everyone</emphasis> Full Control on the Share.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+MS Windows 200x and later all comes with a tool called the 'Computer Management' snap-in for the
+Microsoft Management Console (MMC). This tool is located by clicking on <filename>Control Panel ->
+Administrative Tools -> Computer Management</filename>.
+</para>
+
+<procedure>
+<title>Instructions</title>
+<step><para>
+ After launching the MMC with the Computer Management snap-in, click on the menu item 'Action',
+ select 'Connect to another computer'. If you are not logged onto a domain you will be prompted
+ to enter a domain login user identifier and a password. This will authenticate you to the domain.
+ If you where already logged in with administrative privilidge this step is not offered.
+</para></step>
+
+<step><para>
+If the Samba server is not shown in the Select Computer box, then type in the name of the target
+Samba server in the field 'Name:'. Now click on the [+] next to 'System Tools', then on the [+]
+next to 'Shared Folders' in the left panel.
+</para></step>
+
+<step><para>
+Now in the right panel, double-click on the share you wish to set access control permissions on.
+Then click on the tab 'Share Permissions'. It is now possible to add access control entities
+to the shared folder. Do NOT forget to set what type of access (full control, change, read) you
+wish to assign for each entry.
+</para></step>
+</procedure>
+
+<warning>
+<para>
+Be careful. If you take away all permissions from the Everyone user without removing this user
+then effectively no user will be able to access the share. This is a result of what is known as
+ACL precidence. ie: Everyone with NO ACCESS means that MaryK who is part of the group Everyone
+will have no access even if this user is given explicit full control access.
+</para>

+
+<sect1>
+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>Please report bugs using <ulink url="https://bugzilla.samba.org/">bugzilla</ulink>.</para>
+
+<para>
+Please take the time to read this file before you submit a bug
+report. Also, please see if it has changed between releases, as we
+may be changing the bug reporting mechanism at some time.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Please also do as much as you can yourself to help track down the
+bug. Samba is maintained by a dedicated group of people who volunteer
+their time, skills and efforts. We receive far more mail about it than
+we can possibly answer, so you have a much higher chance of an answer
+and a fix if you send us a "developer friendly" bug report that lets
+us fix it fast.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Do not assume that if you post the bug to the comp.protocols.smb
+newsgroup or the mailing list that we will read it. If you suspect that your
+problem is not a bug but a configuration problem then it is better to send
+it to the Samba mailing list, as there are (at last count) 5000 other users on
+that list that may be able to help you.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You may also like to look though the recent mailing list archives,
+which are conveniently accessible on the Samba web pages
+at <ulink url="http://samba.org/samba/">http://samba.org/samba/</ulink>.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>General info</title>
+
+<para>
+Before submitting a bug report check your config for silly
+errors. Look in your log files for obvious messages that tell you that
+you've misconfigured something and run testparm to test your config
+file for correct syntax.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Have you run through the <link linkend="diagnosis">diagnosis</link>?
+This is very important.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you include part of a log file with your bug report then be sure to
+annotate it with exactly what you were doing on the client at the
+time, and exactly what the results were.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Debug levels</title>
+
+<para>
+If the bug has anything to do with Samba behaving incorrectly as a
+server (like refusing to open a file) then the log files will probably
+be very useful. Depending on the problem a log level of between 3 and
+10 showing the problem may be appropriate. A higher level givesmore
+detail, but may use too much disk space.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To set the debug level use <command>log level =</command> in your
+&smb.conf;. You may also find it useful to set the log
+level higher for just one machine and keep separate logs for each machine.
+To do this use:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+log level = 10
+log file = /usr/local/samba/lib/log.%m
+include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m
+</programlisting></para>
+

+<title>CUPS Printing Support</title>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>
+The Common Unix Print System (CUPS) has become very popular, but to many it is
+a very mystical tool. There is a great deal of uncertainty regarding CUPS and how
+it works. The result is seen in a large number of posting on the samba mailing lists
+expressing frustration when MS Windows printers appear not to work with a CUPS
+backr-end.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This is a good time to point out how CUPS can be used and what it does. CUPS is more
+than just a print spooling system - it is a complete printer management system that
+complies with HTTP and IPP protocols. It can be managed remotely via a web browser
+and it can print using http and ipp protocols.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+CUPS allows to creation of RAW printers (ie: NO file format translation) as well as
+SMART printers (ie: CUPS does file format conversion as required for the printer). In
+many ways this gives CUPS similar capabilities to the MS Windows print monitoring
+system. Of course, if you are a CUPS advocate, you would agrue that CUPS is better!
+In any case, let us now move on to explore how one may configure CUPS for interfacing
+with MS Windows print clients via Samba.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<ulink url="http://www.cups.org/">CUPS</ulink> is a newcomer in the UNIX printing scene,
+which has convinced many people upon first trial already. However, it has quite a few
+new features, which make it different from other, more traditional printing systems.

+<title>Configuring &smb.conf; for CUPS</title>
+
+<para>
+Printing with CUPS in the most basic &smb.conf;
+setup in Samba-3 only needs two settings: <command>printing = cups</command> and
+<command>printcap = cups</command>. While CUPS itself doesn't need a printcap
+anymore, the <filename>cupsd.conf</filename> configuration file knows two directives
+(example: <command>Printcap /etc/printcap</command> and <command>PrintcapFormat
+BSD</command>), which control if such a file should be created for the
+convenience of third party applications. Make sure it is set! For details see
+<command>man cupsd.conf</command> and other CUPS-related documentation.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If SAMBA is compiled against libcups, then <command>printcap = cups</command> uses the
+CUPS API to list printers, submit jobs, etc. Otherwise it maps to the System V commands
+with an additional <parameter>-oraw</parameter> option for printing. On a Linux system,
+you can use the <command>ldd</command> command to find out details (ldd may not be
+present on other OS platforms, or its function may be embodied by a different command):
+</para>

+<para>

+The line "libcups.so.2 =&gt; /usr/lib/libcups.so.2
+(0x40123000)" shows there is CUPS support compiled into this version of
+Samba. If this is the case, and <command>printing = cups</command> is set, then any
+otherwise manually set print command in &smb.conf; is ignored.

+<title>CUPS - RAW Print Through Mode</title>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+When used in raw print through mode is will be necessary to use the printer
+vendor's drivers in each Windows client PC.
+</para>
+</note>
+
+<para>
+When CUPS printers are configured for RAW print-through mode operation it is the
+responsibility of the Samba client to fully render the print job (file) in a format
+that is suitable for direct delivery to the printer. In this case CUPS will NOT
+do any print file format conversion work.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The CUPS files that need to be correctly set for RAW mode printers to work are:
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><filename>/etc/cups/mime.types</filename></para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><filename>/etc/cups/mime.convs</filename></para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+Both contain entries that must be uncommented to allow <emphasis>RAW</emphasis> mode
+operation.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Firstly, to enable CUPS based printing from Samba the following options must be
+enabled in your &smb.conf; file [globals] section:
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>printing = CUPS</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>printcap = CUPS</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+When these parameters are specified the print directives in &smb.conf; (as well as in
+samba itself) will be ignored because samba will directly interface with CUPS through
+it's application program interface (API) - so long as Samba has been compiled with
+CUPS library (libcups) support. If samba has NOT been compiled with CUPS support then
+printing will use the System V AT&amp;T command set with the <emphasis>-oraw</emphasis>
+option automatically passing through.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Cupsomatic (an enhanced printing utility that is part of some CUPS implementations)
+on the Samba/CUPS server does *not* add any features if a file is really
+printed "raw". However, if you have loaded the driver for the Windows client from
+the CUPS server, using the "cupsaddsmb" utility, and if this driver is one using
+a "Foomatic" PPD, the PJL header in question is already added on the Windows client,
+at the time when the driver initially generated the PostScript data and CUPS in true
+"-oraw" manner doesn't remove this PJL header and passes the file "as is" to its
+printer communication backend.
+</para>
+
+<note><para>NOTE: editing in the "mime.convs" and the "mime.types" file does not *enforce*
+"raw" printing, it only *allows* it.</para></note>
+
+<para>
+Print files that arrive from MS Windows printing are "auto-typed" by CUPS. This aids
+the process of determining proper treatment while in the print queue system.
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Files generated by PCL drivers and directed at PCK printers get auto-typed as
+ <filename>application/octet-stream</filename>. Unknown file format types also
+ get auto-typed with this tag.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ Files generated by a Postscript driver and directed at a Postscript printer
+ are auto-typed depending on the auto-detected most suitable MIME type as:
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>* application/postscript</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>* application/vnd.cups-postscript</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+
+
+<para>
+"application/postscript" first goes thru the "pstops" filter (where the page counting
+and accounting takes place). The outcome will be of MIME type
+"application/vnd.cups-postscript". The pstopsfilter reads and uses information from
+the PPD and inserts user-provided options into the PostScript file. As a consequence,
+the filtered file could possibly have an unwanted PJL header.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+"application/postscript" will be all files with a ".ps", ".ai", ".eps" suffix or which
+have as their first character string one of "%!" or "&gt;04&lt;%".
+</para>
+
+<para>
+"application/vnd.cups-postscript" will files which contain the string
+"LANGUAGE=POSTSCRIPT" (or similar variations with different capitalization) in the
+first 512 bytes, and also contain the "PJL super escape code" in the first 128 bytes
+("&gt;1B&lt;%-12345X"). Very likely, most PostScript files generated on Windows using a CUPS
+or other PPD, will have to be auto-typed as "vnd.cups-postscript". A file produced
+with a "Generic PostScript driver" will just be tagged "application/postscript".
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Once the file is in "application/vnd.cups-postscript" format, either "pstoraster"
+or "cupsomatic" will take over (depending on the printer configuration, as
+determined by the PPD in use).
+</para>
+
+<note><para>
+A printer queue with *no* PPD associated to it is a "raw" printer and all files
+will go directly there as received by the spooler. The exeptions are file types
+"application/octet-stream" which need "passthrough feature" enabled.
+"Raw" queues don't do any filtering at all, they hand the file directly to the
+CUPS backend. This backend is responsible for the sending of the data to the device
+(as in the "device URI" notation as lpd://, socket://, smb://, ipp://, http://,
+parallel:/, serial:/, usb:/ etc.)
+</para></note>
+
+<note><para>
+"cupsomatic"/Foomatic are *not* native CUPS drivers and they don't ship with CUPS.
+They are a Third Party add-on, developed at Linuxprinting.org. As such, they are
+a brilliant hack to make all models (driven by Ghostscript drivers/filters in
+traditional spoolers) also work via CUPS, with the same (good or bad!) quality
+as in these other spoolers. "cupsomatic" is only a vehicle to execute a ghostscript
+commandline at that stage in the CUPS filtering chain, where "normally" the native
+CUPS "pstoraster" filter would kick in. cupsomatic by-passes pstoraster, "kidnaps"
+the printfile from CUPS away and re-directs it to go through Ghostscipt. CUPS accepts this,
+because the associated CUPS-O-Matic-/Foomatic-PPD specifies:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 cupsomatic"
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+This line persuades CUPS to hand the file to cupsomatic, once it has successfully
+converted it to the MIME type "application/vnd.cups-postscript". This conversion will not
+happen for Jobs arriving from Windows which are auto-typed "application/octet-stream",
+with the according changes in "/etc/cups/mime.types" in place.
+</para></note>
+
+<para>
+CUPS is widely configurable and flexible, even regarding its filtering mechanism.
+Another workaround in some situations would be to have
+in "/etc/cups/mime.types" entries as follows:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ application/postscript application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
+ application/vnd.cups-postscript application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+This would prevent all Postscript files from being filtered (rather, they will go
+thru the virtual "nullfilter" denoted with "-"). This could only be useful for
+PS printers. If you want to print PS code on non-PS printers an entry as follows
+could be useful:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ */* application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+and would effectively send *all* files to the backend without further processing.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Lastly, you could have the following entry:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ application/vnd.cups-postscript application/vnd.cups-raw 0 my_PJL_stripping_filter
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+You will need to write a "my_PJL_stripping_filter" (could be a shellscript) that
+parses the PostScript and removes the unwanted PJL. This would need to conform to
+CUPS filter design (mainly, receive and pass the parameters printername, job-id,
+username, jobtitle, copies, print options and possibly the filename). It would
+be installed as world executable into "/usr/lib/cups/filters/" and will be called
+by CUPS if it encounters a MIME type "application/vnd.cups-postscript".
+</para>
+
+<para>
+CUPS can handle "-o job-hold-until=indefinite". This keeps the job in the queue
+"on hold". It will only be printed upon manual release by the printer operator.
+This is a requirement in many "central reproduction departments", where a few
+operators manage the jobs of hundreds of users on some big machine, where no
+user is allowed to have direct access. (The operators often need to load the
+proper paper type before running the 10.000 page job requested by marketing
+for the mailing, etc.).

+<title>CUPS as a network PostScript RIP</title>
+
+<para>
+This is the configuration where CUPS drivers are working on server, and where the
+Adobe PostScript driver with CUPS-PPDs is downloaded to clients.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+CUPS is perfectly able to use PPD files (PostScript
+Printer Descriptions). PPDs can control all print device options. They
+are usually provided by the manufacturer -- if you own a PostSript printer,
+that is. PPD files are always a component of PostScript printer drivers on MS
+Windows or Apple Mac OS systems. They are ASCII files containing
+user-selectable print options, mapped to appropriate PostScript, PCL or PJL
+commands for the target printer. Printer driver GUI dialogs translate these
+options "on-the-fly" into buttons and drop-down lists for the user to
+select.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+CUPS can load, without any conversions, the PPD file from
+any Windows (NT is recommended) PostScript driver and handle the options.
+There is a web browser interface to the print options (select
+http://localhost:631/printers/ and click on one "Configure Printer" button
+to see it), a commandline interface (see <command>man lpoptions</command> or
+try if you have <command>lphelp</command> on your system) plus some different GUI frontends on Linux
+UNIX, which can present PPD options to the users. PPD options are normally
+meant to become evaluated by the PostScript RIP on the real PostScript
+printer.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+CUPS doesn't stop at "real" PostScript printers in its
+usage of PPDs. The CUPS developers have extended the PPD concept, to also
+describe available device and driver options for non-PostScript printers
+through CUPS-PPDs.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This is logical, as CUPS includes a fully featured
+PostScript interpreter (RIP). This RIP is based on Ghostscript. It can
+process all received PostScript (and additionally many other file formats)
+from clients. All CUPS-PPDs geared to non-PostScript printers contain an
+additional line, starting with the keyword <parameter>*cupsFilter</parameter>.
+This line
+tells the CUPS print system which printer-specific filter to use for the
+interpretation of the accompanying PostScript. Thus CUPS lets all its
+printers appear as PostScript devices to its clients, because it can act as a
+PostScript RIP for those printers, processing the received PostScript code
+into a proper raster print format.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+CUPS-PPDs can also be used on Windows-Clients, on top of a
+PostScript driver (recommended is the Adobe one).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This feature enables CUPS to do a few tricks no other
+spooler can do:

+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>act as a networked PostScript RIP (Raster Image Processor), handling
+ printfiles from all client platforms in a uniform way;</para></listitem>

+<title>Windows Terminal Servers (WTS) as CUPS clients</title>
+
+<para>
+This setup may be of special interest to people
+experiencing major problems in WTS environments. WTS need often a multitude
+of non-PostScript drivers installed to run their clients' variety of
+different printer models. This often imposes the price of much increased
+instability. In many cases, in an attempt to overcome this problem, site
+administrators have resorted to restrict the allowed drivers installed on
+their WTS to one generic PCL- and one PostScript driver. This however
+restricts the clients in the amount of printer options available for them --
+often they can't get out more then simplex prints from one standard paper
+tray, while their devices could do much better, if driven by a different
+driver!
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Using an Adobe PostScript driver, enabled with a CUPS-PPD,
+seems to be a very elegant way to overcome all these shortcomings. The
+PostScript driver is not known to cause major stability problems on WTS (even
+if used with many different PPDs). The clients will be able to (again) chose
+paper trays, duplex printing and other settings. However, there is a certain
+price for this too: a CUPS server acting as a PostScript RIP for its clients
+requires more CPU and RAM than just to act as a "raw spooling" device. Plus,
+this setup is not yet widely tested, although the first feedbacks look very
+promising...

+For licensing reasons the necessary files of the Adobe

+their input, cupsomatic "kidnaps" the PostScript inside CUPS, before
+RIP-ping, deviates it to an external Ghostscript installation (which now
+becomes the RIP) and gives it back to a CUPS backend once Ghostscript is
+finished. -- CUPS versions from 1.1.15 and later will provide their pstoraster
+PostScript RIP function again inside a system-wide Ghostscript
+installation rather than in "their own" pstoraster filter. (This

+<para>
+CUPS ships with good support for HP LaserJet type printers. You can install
+the driver as follows:
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ lpadmin -p laserjet4plus -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -E -m laserjet.ppd
+ </para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+(The "-m" switch will retrieve the "laserjet.ppd" from the standard repository
+for not-yet-installed-PPDs, which CUPS typically stores in
+<filename>/usr/share/cups/model</filename>. Alternatively, you may use
+"-P /absolute/filesystem/path/to/where/there/is/PPD/your.ppd").
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Further printing steps</title>
+
+<para>
+Always also consult the database on linuxprinting.org for all recommendations

+
+<para><ulink url="http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi">http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi</ulink></para>
+
+<para>
+There select your model and click on "Show". You'll arrive at a page listing
+all drivers working with your model. There will always be *one*
+<emphasis>recommended</emphasis> one. Try this one first. In your case
+("HP LaserJet 4 Plus"), you'll arrive here:
+</para>
+
+<para><ulink url="http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=75104">http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=75104</ulink></para>
+
+<para>
+The recommended driver is "ljet4". It has a link to the page for the ljet4
+driver too:

+<para><ulink url="http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=ljet4">http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=ljet4</ulink></para>
+
+<para>
+On the driver's page, you'll find important and detailed info about how to use
+that driver within the various available spoolers. You can generate a PPD for
+CUPS. The PPD contains all the info about how to use your model and the driver;
+this is, once installed, working transparently for the user -- you'll only
+need to choose resolution, paper size etc. from the web-based menu or from
+the print dialog GUI or from the commandline...
+</para>
+
+<para>
+On the driver's page, choose to use the "PPD-O-Matic" online PPD generator
+program. Select your model and click "Generate PPD file". When you safe the
+appearing ASCII text file, don't use "cut'n'past" (as it could possiblly corrupt
+line endings and tabs), but use "Save as..." in your browser's menu. Save it
+at "/some/path/on/your/filesystem/somewhere/my-name-for-my-printer.ppd"
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Then install the printer:
+</para>
+<para><programlisting>
+ "lpadmin -p laserjet4plus -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -E \
+ -P /some/path/on/your/filesystem/somewhere/my-name-for-my-printer.ppd"
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+Note, that for all the "Foomatic-PPDs" from Linuxprinting.org, you also need
+a special "CUPS filter" named "cupsomatic". Get the latest version of
+"cupsomatic" from:
+</para>
+
+<para><ulink url="http://www.linuxprinting.org/cupsomatic">http://www.linuxprinting.org/cupsomatic</ulink></para>
+
+<para>
+This needs to be copied to <filename>/usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic</filename>
+and be made world executable. This filter is needed to read and act upon the
+specially encoded Foomatic comments, embedded in the printfile, which in turn
+are used to construct (transparently for you, the user) the complicated
+ghostscript command line needed for your printer/driver combo.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You can have a look at all the options for the Ghostscript commandline supported
+by your printer and the ljet4 driver by going to the section "Execution details",
+selecting your model (Laserjet 4 Plus) and clicking on "Show execution details".
+This will bring up this web page:

+
+<para>
+The ingenious thing is that the database is kept current. If there
+is a bug fix and an improvement somewhere in the database, you will
+always get the most current and stable and feature-rich driver by following
+the steps described above.

+</simplelist>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In the case of the "hpijs" driver, you need a Ghostscript version, which
+has "ijs" amongst its supported devices in "gs -h". In the case of
+"hpijs+foomatic", a valid ghostscript commandline would be reading like this:

+Note, that with CUPS and the "hpijs+foomatic" PPD (plus Perl and cupsomatic)
+you don't need to remember this. You can choose the available print options
+thru a GUI print command (like "glp" from ESP's commercially supported
+PrintPro software, or KDE's "kprinter", or GNOME's "gtklp" or the independent

+<title>Limiting the number of pages users can print</title>
+
+<para>
+The feature you want is dependent on the real print subsystem you're using.
+Samba's part is always to receive the job files from the clients (filtered
+*or* unfiltered) and hand it over to this printing subsystem.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Of course one could "hack" things with one's own scripts.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+But there is CUPS (Common Unix Printing System). CUPS supports "quotas".
+Quotas can be based on sizes of jobs or on the number of pages or both,
+and are spanning any time period you want.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This is an example command how root would set a print quota in CUPS,
+assuming an existing printer named "quotaprinter":
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ lpadmin -p quotaprinter -o job-quota-period=604800 -o job-k-limit=1024 \
+ -o job-page-limit=100
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+This would limit every single user to print 100 pages or 1024 KB of
+data (whichever comes first) within the last 604.800 seconds ( = 1 week).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+For CUPS to count correctly, the printfile needs to pass the CUPS "pstops" filter,
+otherwise it uses a "dummy" count of "1". Some printfiles don't pass it
+(eg: image files) but then those are mostly 1 page jobs anyway. This also means,
+proprietary drivers for the target printer running on the client computers and
+CUPS/Samba then spooling these files as "raw" (i.e. leaving them untouched, not
+filtering them), will be counted as "1-pagers" too!
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You need to send PostScript from the clients (i.e. run a PostScript driver there)
+for having the chance to get accounting done. If the printer is a non-PostScript model,
+you need to let CUPS do the job to convert the file to a print-ready format for the
+target printer. This will be working for currently ~1.000 different printer models, see
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+Before CUPS-1.1.16 your only option was to use the Adobe PostScript
+Driver on the Windows clients. The output of this driver was not always
+passed thru the "pstops" filter on the CUPS/Samba side, and therefor was
+not counted correctly (the reason is that it often --- depending on the
+"PPD" being used --- did write a "PJL"-header in front of the real
+PostScript which made CUPS to skip the pstops and go directy to
+the "pstoraster" stage).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+From CUPS-1.1.16 onward you can use the "CUPS PostScript Driver
+for Windows NT/2K/XP clients" (it is tagged in the download area of
+http://www.cups.org/ as the "cups-samba-1.1.16.tar.gz" package).

+This new CUPS PostScript driver is currently binary-only, but free
+no source code is provided (yet). The reason is this: it has
+been developed with the help of the Microsoft Driver Developer Kit (DDK)
+and compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio 6. It is not clear to the driver
+developers if they are allowed to distribute the whole of the source code
+as Free Software. However, they will likely release the "diff" in source
+code under the GPL, so anybody with a license of Visual Studio and a DDK
+will be able to compile for him/herself.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Once you have run the install script (and possibly manually moved the
+"cups.hlp" file to "/usr/share/cups/drivers/"), the driver is ready to be
+put into Samba's [print$] share (which often maps to "/etc/samba/drivers/"
+and contains a subdir tree with WIN40 and W32X86 branches), by running
+"cupsaddsmb" (see also "man cupsaddsmb" for CUPS 1.1.16). [Don't forget to
+put root into the smbpasswd file by running "smbpasswd" should you run
+this whole procedure for the first time.] Once the driver files are in the
+[print$] share, they are ready to be downloaded and installed by the
+Win NT/2k/XP clients.

+ <para>
+ It is not enough to "delete" the printer (as the driver files

+ files on the clients, open the "Printers" folder (possibly via
+ "Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Printers"), right-click
+ onto the folder background and select "Server Properties". A

+CUPS PPDs are working perfectly on Windows clients who use Adobe PostScript

+Well, if the CUPS/Samba side will have to print to many printers serving many users,
+you probably will need to set up a second server (which can do automatic load balancing
+with the first one, plus a degree of fail-over mechanism). Converting the incoming
+PostScript jobs, "interpreting" them for non-PostScript printers, amounts to the work
+of a "RIP" (Raster Image Processor) done in software. This requires more CPU and RAM
+than for the mere "raw spooling" task your current setup is solving. It all depends

+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>
+Samba is developed in an open environment. Developers use CVS
+(Concurrent Versioning System) to "checkin" (also known as
+"commit") new source code. Samba's various CVS branches can
+be accessed via anonymous CVS using the instructions
+detailed in this chapter.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This chapter is a modified version of the instructions found at
+<ulink url="http://samba.org/samba/cvs.html">http://samba.org/samba/cvs.html</ulink>

+<title>CVS Access to samba.org</title>
+
+<para>
+The machine samba.org runs a publicly accessible CVS
+repository for access to the source code of several packages,
+including samba, rsync and jitterbug. There are two main ways of
+accessing the CVS server on this host.
+</para>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Access via CVSweb</title>
+
+<para>
+You can access the source code via your
+favourite WWW browser. This allows you to access the contents of
+individual files in the repository and also to look at the revision
+history and commit logs of individual files. You can also ask for a diff
+listing between any two versions on the repository.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Use the URL : <ulink
+url="http://samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb">http://samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb</ulink>
+</para>
+</sect3>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Access via cvs</title>
+
+<para>
+You can also access the source code via a
+normal cvs client. This gives you much more control over what you can
+do with the repository and allows you to checkout whole source trees
+and keep them up to date via normal cvs commands. This is the
+preferred method of access if you are a developer and not
+just a casual browser.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To download the latest cvs source code, point your
+browser at the URL : <ulink url="http://www.cyclic.com/">http://www.cyclic.com/</ulink>.
+and click on the 'How to get cvs' link. CVS is free software under
+the GNU GPL (as is Samba). Note that there are several graphical CVS clients
+which provide a graphical interface to the sometimes mundane CVS commands.
+Links to theses clients are also available from http://www.cyclic.com.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To gain access via anonymous cvs use the following steps.
+For this example it is assumed that you want a copy of the
+samba source code. For the other source code repositories
+on this system just substitute the correct package name
+</para>
+
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem>
+ <para>
+ Install a recent copy of cvs. All you really need is a
+ copy of the cvs client binary.
+ </para>
+</listitem>
+
+
+<listitem>
+ <para>
+ Run the command
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <userinput>cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot login</userinput>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When it asks you for a password type <userinput>cvs</userinput>.
+ </para>
+</listitem>
+
+
+<listitem>
+ <para>
+ Run the command
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <userinput>cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot co samba</userinput>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This will create a directory called samba containing the
+ latest samba source code (i.e. the HEAD tagged cvs branch). This
+ currently corresponds to the 3.0 development tree.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ CVS branches other then HEAD can be obtained by using the <parameter>-r</parameter>
+ and defining a tag name. A list of branch tag names can be found on the
+ "Development" page of the samba web site. A common request is to obtain the
+ latest 2.2 release code. This could be done by using the following userinput.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <userinput>cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot co -r SAMBA_2_2 samba</userinput>
+ </para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+ <para>
+ Whenever you want to merge in the latest code changes use
+ the following command from within the samba directory:
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <userinput>cvs update -d -P</userinput>
+ </para>
+</listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+
+</sect3>
+</sect2>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Accessing the samba sources via rsync and ftp</title>
+
+ <para>
+ pserver.samba.org also exports unpacked copies of most parts of the CVS tree at <ulink url="ftp://pserver.samba.org/pub/unpacked">ftp://pserver.samba.org/pub/unpacked</ulink> and also via anonymous rsync at rsync://pserver.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/. I recommend using rsync rather than ftp.
+ See <ulink url="http://rsync.samba.org/">the rsync homepage</ulink> for more info on rsync.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The disadvantage of the unpacked trees
+ is that they do not support automatic
+ merging of local changes like CVS does.
+ rsync access is most convenient for an
+ initial install.
+ </para>
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Verifying Samba's PGP signature</title>
+
+<para>
+In these days of insecurity, it's strongly recommended that you verify the PGP signature for any
+source file before installing it. According to Jerry Carter of the Samba Team, only about 22% of
+all Samba downloads have had a corresponding PGP signature download (a very low percentage, which
+should be considered a bad thing). Even if you're not downloading from a mirror site, verifying PGP
+signatures should be a standard reflex.
+</para>
+
+
+<para>
+With that said, go ahead and download the following files:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ $ wget http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-2.2.8a.tar.asc
+ $ wget http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-pubkey.asc
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+The first file is the PGP signature for the Samba source file; the other is the Samba public
+PGP key itself. Import the public PGP key with:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ $ gpg --import samba-pubkey.asc
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+And verify the Samba source code integrity with:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ $ gzip -d samba-2.2.8a.tar.gz
+ $ gpg --verify samba-2.2.8a.tar.asc
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+If you receive a message like, "Good signature from Samba Distribution Verification Key..."
+then all is well. The warnings about trust relationships can be ignored. An example of what
+you would not want to see would be:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ gpg: BAD signature from "Samba Distribution Verification Key"
+</programlisting>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Building the Binaries</title>
+
+ <para>To do this, first run the program <userinput>./configure
+ </userinput> in the source directory. This should automatically
+ configure Samba for your operating system. If you have unusual
+ needs then you may wish to run</para>
+
+ <para><prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>./configure --help
+ </userinput></para>
+
+ <para>first to see what special options you can enable.
+ Then executing</para>
+
+ <para><prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>make</userinput></para>
+
+ <para>will create the binaries. Once it's successfully
+ compiled you can use </para>
+
+ <para><prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>make install</userinput></para>
+
+ <para>to install the binaries and manual pages. You can
+ separately install the binaries and/or man pages using</para>
+
+ <para><prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>make installbin
+ </userinput></para>
+
+ <para>and</para>
+
+ <para><prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>make installman
+ </userinput></para>
+
+ <para>Note that if you are upgrading for a previous version
+ of Samba you might like to know that the old versions of
+ the binaries will be renamed with a ".old" extension. You
+ can go back to the previous version with</para>
+
+ <para><prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>make revert
+ </userinput></para>
+
+ <para>if you find this version a disaster!</para>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Compiling samba with Active Directory support</title>
+
+ <para>In order to compile samba with ADS support, you need to have installed
+ on your system:</para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+
+ <listitem><para>the MIT kerberos development libraries
+ (either install from the sources or use a package). The
+ heimdal libraries will not work.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>the OpenLDAP development libraries.</para></listitem>
+
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>If your kerberos libraries are in a non-standard location then
+ remember to add the configure option --with-krb5=DIR.</para>
+
+ <para>After you run configure make sure that <filename>include/config.h</filename> it generates contains lines like this:</para>
+
+ <para><programlisting>
+#define HAVE_KRB5 1
+#define HAVE_LDAP 1
+</programlisting></para>
+
+ <para>If it doesn't then configure did not find your krb5 libraries or
+ your ldap libraries. Look in config.log to figure out why and fix
+ it.</para>
+
+ <sect3>
+ <title>Installing the required packages for Debian</title>
+
+ <para>On Debian you need to install the following packages:</para>
+ <para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>libkrb5-dev</listitem>
+ <listitem>krb5-user</listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+ </sect3>
+
+ <sect3>
+ <title>Installing the required packages for RedHat</title>
+
+ <para>On RedHat this means you should have at least: </para>
+ <para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>krb5-workstation (for kinit)</listitem>
+ <listitem>krb5-libs (for linking with)</listitem>
+ <listitem>krb5-devel (because you are compiling from source)</listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>in addition to the standard development environment.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that these are not standard on a RedHat install, and you may need
+ to get them off CD2.</para>
+
+ </sect3>
+
+ </sect2>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Starting the smbd and nmbd</title>
+
+ <para>You must choose to start smbd and nmbd either
+ as daemons or from <application>inetd</application>Don't try
+ to do both! Either you can put them in <filename>
+ inetd.conf</filename> and have them started on demand
+ by <application>inetd</application>, or you can start them as
+ daemons either from the command line or in <filename>
+ /etc/rc.local</filename>. See the man pages for details
+ on the command line options. Take particular care to read
+ the bit about what user you need to be in order to start
+ Samba. In many cases you must be root.</para>
+
+ <para>The main advantage of starting <application>smbd</application>
+ and <application>nmbd</application> using the recommended daemon method
+ is that they will respond slightly more quickly to an initial connection
+ request.</para>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Starting from inetd.conf</title>
+
+ <para>NOTE; The following will be different if
+ you use NIS, NIS+ or LDAP to distribute services maps.</para>
+
+ <para>Look at your <filename>/etc/services</filename>.
+ What is defined at port 139/tcp. If nothing is defined
+ then add a line like this:</para>
+
+ <para><userinput>netbios-ssn 139/tcp</userinput></para>
+
+ <para>similarly for 137/udp you should have an entry like:</para>
+
+ <para><userinput>netbios-ns 137/udp</userinput></para>
+
+ <para>Next edit your <filename>/etc/inetd.conf</filename>
+ and add two lines something like this:</para>
+
+ <para><programlisting>
+ netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd smbd
+ netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd
+ </programlisting></para>
+
+ <para>The exact syntax of <filename>/etc/inetd.conf</filename>
+ varies between unixes. Look at the other entries in inetd.conf
+ for a guide.</para>
+
+ <note><para>Some unixes already have entries like netbios_ns
+ (note the underscore) in <filename>/etc/services</filename>.
+ You must either edit <filename>/etc/services</filename> or
+ <filename>/etc/inetd.conf</filename> to make them consistent.</para></note>
+
+ <note><para>On many systems you may need to use the
+ <command>interfaces</command> option in &smb.conf; to specify the IP address
+ and netmask of your interfaces. Run <application>ifconfig</application>
+ as root if you don't know what the broadcast is for your
+ net. &nmbd; tries to determine it at run
+ time, but fails on some unixes.
+ </para></note>
+
+ <warning><para>Many unixes only accept around 5
+ parameters on the command line in <filename>inetd.conf</filename>.
+ This means you shouldn't use spaces between the options and
+ arguments, or you should use a script, and start the script
+ from <command>inetd</command>.</para></warning>
+
+ <para>Restart <command>inetd</command>, perhaps just send
+ it a HUP. If you have installed an earlier version of <application>
+ nmbd</application> then you may need to kill nmbd as well.</para>
+ </sect2>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Alternative: starting it as a daemon</title>
+
+ <para>To start the server as a daemon you should create
+ a script something like this one, perhaps calling
+ it <filename>startsmb</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para><programlisting>
+ #!/bin/sh
+ /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D
+ /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D
+ </programlisting></para>
+
+ <para>then make it executable with <command>chmod
+ +x startsmb</command></para>
+
+ <para>You can then run <command>startsmb</command> by
+ hand or execute it from <filename>/etc/rc.local</filename>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>To kill it send a kill signal to the processes
+ <command>nmbd</command> and <command>smbd</command>.</para>
+
+ <note><para>If you use the SVR4 style init system then
+ you may like to look at the <filename>examples/svr4-startup</filename>
+ script to make Samba fit into that system.</para></note>

+ Domain's BDC NetBIOS names: DOMBDC1 and DOMBDC2
+ </programlisting>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>First, you must edit your &smb.conf; file to tell Samba it should
+ now use domain security.</para>
+
+ <para>Change (or add) your <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html#SECURITY">
+ <parameter>security =</parameter></ulink> line in the [global] section
+ of your &smb.conf; to read:</para>
+
+ <para><command>security = domain</command></para>
+

+ workgroup =</parameter></ulink> line in the [global] section to read: </para>
+
+ <para><command>workgroup = DOM</command></para>
+
+ <para>as this is the name of the domain we are joining. </para>
+
+ <para>You must also have the parameter <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html#ENCRYPTPASSWORDS">
+ <parameter>encrypt passwords</parameter></ulink> set to <constant>yes
+ </constant> in order for your users to authenticate to the NT PDC.</para>
+
+ <para>Finally, add (or modify) a <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html#PASSWORDSERVER">
+ <parameter>password server =</parameter></ulink> line in the [global]
+ section to read: </para>
+
+ <para><command>password server = DOMPDC DOMBDC1 DOMBDC2</command></para>
+
+ <para>These are the primary and backup domain controllers Samba
+ will attempt to contact in order to authenticate users. Samba will
+ try to contact each of these servers in order, so you may want to
+ rearrange this list in order to spread out the authentication load
+ among domain controllers.</para>
+
+ <para>Alternatively, if you want smbd to automatically determine
+ the list of Domain controllers to use for authentication, you may
+ set this line to be :</para>
+
+ <para><command>password server = *</command></para>
+
+ <para>This method, allows Samba to use exactly the same
+ mechanism that NT does. This
+ method either broadcasts or uses a WINS database in order to
+ find domain controllers to authenticate against.</para>
+
+ <para>In order to actually join the domain, you must run this
+ command:</para>
+
+ <para><prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>net join -S DOMPDC
+ -U<replaceable>Administrator%password</replaceable></userinput></para>
+
+ <para>
+ If the <userinput>-S DOMPDC</userinput> argument is not given then
+ the domain name will be obtained from smb.conf.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>as we are joining the domain DOM and the PDC for that domain
+ (the only machine that has write access to the domain SAM database)
+ is DOMPDC. The <replaceable>Administrator%password</replaceable> is
+ the login name and password for an account which has the necessary
+ privilege to add machines to the domain. If this is successful
+ you will see the message:</para>
+
+ <para><computeroutput>Joined domain DOM.</computeroutput>
+ or <computeroutput>Joined 'SERV1' to realm 'MYREALM'</computeroutput>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>in your terminal window. See the <ulink url="net.8.html">
+ net(8)</ulink> man page for more details.</para>
+
+ <para>This process joins the server to the domain
+ without having to create the machine trust account on the PDC
+ beforehand.</para>
+
+ <para>This command goes through the machine account password
+ change protocol, then writes the new (random) machine account
+ password for this Samba server into a file in the same directory
+ in which an smbpasswd file would be stored - normally :</para>
+
+ <para><filename>/usr/local/samba/private/secrets.tdb</filename></para>
+
+ <para>This file is created and owned by root and is not
+ readable by any other user. It is the key to the domain-level
+ security for your system, and should be treated as carefully
+ as a shadow password file.</para>
+
+ <para>Finally, restart your Samba daemons and get ready for
+ clients to begin using domain security!</para>
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Why is this better than security = server?</title>
+
+ <para>Currently, domain security in Samba doesn't free you from
+ having to create local Unix users to represent the users attaching
+ to your server. This means that if domain user <constant>DOM\fred
+ </constant> attaches to your domain security Samba server, there needs
+ to be a local Unix user fred to represent that user in the Unix
+ filesystem. This is very similar to the older Samba security mode
+ <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html#SECURITYEQUALSSERVER">security = server</ulink>,
+ where Samba would pass through the authentication request to a Windows
+ NT server in the same way as a Windows 95 or Windows 98 server would.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Please refer to the <ulink url="winbind.html">Winbind
+ paper</ulink> for information on a system to automatically
+ assign UNIX uids and gids to Windows NT Domain users and groups.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>The advantage to domain-level security is that the
+ authentication in domain-level security is passed down the authenticated
+ RPC channel in exactly the same way that an NT server would do it. This
+ means Samba servers now participate in domain trust relationships in
+ exactly the same way NT servers do (i.e., you can add Samba servers into
+ a resource domain and have the authentication passed on from a resource
+ domain PDC to an account domain PDC).</para>
+
+ <para>In addition, with <command>security = server</command> every Samba
+ daemon on a server has to keep a connection open to the
+ authenticating server for as long as that daemon lasts. This can drain
+ the connection resources on a Microsoft NT server and cause it to run
+ out of available connections. With <command>security = domain</command>,
+ however, the Samba daemons connect to the PDC/BDC only for as long
+ as is necessary to authenticate the user, and then drop the connection,
+ thus conserving PDC connection resources.</para>
+
+ <para>And finally, acting in the same manner as an NT server
+ authenticating to a PDC means that as part of the authentication
+ reply, the Samba server gets the user identification information such
+ as the user SID, the list of NT groups the user belongs to, etc. </para>

+
+<sect1>
+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>
+This file contains a list of tests you can perform to validate your
+Samba server. It also tells you what the likely cause of the problem
+is if it fails any one of these steps. If it passes all these tests
+then it is probably working fine.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You should do ALL the tests, in the order shown. We have tried to
+carefully choose them so later tests only use capabilities verified in
+the earlier tests. However, do not stop at the first error as there
+have been some instances when continuing with the tests has helped
+to solve a problem.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you send one of the samba mailing lists an email saying "it doesn't work"
+and you have not followed this test procedure then you should not be surprised
+if your email is ignored.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Assumptions</title>
+
+<para>
+In all of the tests it is assumed you have a Samba server called
+BIGSERVER and a PC called ACLIENT both in workgroup TESTGROUP.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The procedure is similar for other types of clients.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+It is also assumed you know the name of an available share in your
+&smb.conf;. I will assume this share is called <replaceable>tmp</replaceable>.
+You can add a <replaceable>tmp</replaceable> share like this by adding the
+following to &smb.conf;:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+
+[tmp]
+ comment = temporary files
+ path = /tmp
+ read only = yes
+
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+
+<note><para>
+These tests assume version 3.0 or later of the samba suite.
+Some commands shown did not exist in earlier versions.
+</para></note>
+
+<para>
+Please pay attention to the error messages you receive. If any error message
+reports that your server is being unfriendly you should first check that your
+IP name resolution is correctly set up. eg: Make sure your <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>
+file points to name servers that really do exist.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Also, if you do not have DNS server access for name resolution please check
+that the settings for your &smb.conf; file results in <command>dns proxy = no</command>. The
+best way to check this is with <userinput>testparm smb.conf</userinput>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+It is helpful to monitor the log files during testing by using the
+<command>tail -F <replaceable>log_file_name</replaceable></command> in a separate
+terminal console (use ctrl-alt-F1 through F6 or multiple terminals in X).
+Relevant log files can be found (for default installations) in
+<filename>/usr/local/samba/var</filename>. Also, connection logs from
+machines can be found here or possibly in <filename>/var/log/samba</filename>
+depending on how or if you specified logging in your &smb.conf; file.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you make changes to your &smb.conf; file while going through these test,
+don't forget to restart &smbd; and &nmbd;.

+It is possible to
+run samba without DNS entries for the server and client, but I assume
+you do have correct entries for the remainder of these tests.

+Another reason why ping might fail is if your host is running firewall
+software. You will need to relax the rules to let in the workstation
+in question, perhaps by allowing access from another subnet (on Linux
+this is done via the <application>ipfwadm</application> program.)

+If you get a error message containing the string "Bad password" then

+If you get a "connection refused" response then the smbd server may
+not be running. If you installed it in inetd.conf then you probably edited

+</para></note>
+
+<para>
+If you get a "session request failed" then the server refused the
+connection. If it says "Your server software is being unfriendly" then
+its probably because you have invalid command line parameters to &smbd;,
+or a similar fatal problem with the initial startup of &smbd;. Also
+check your config file (&smb.conf;) for syntax errors with &testparm;
+and that the various directories where samba keeps its log and lock
+files exist.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+There are a number of reasons for which smbd may refuse or decline
+a session request. The most common of these involve one or more of
+the following &smb.conf; file entries:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ hosts deny = ALL
+ hosts allow = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy
+ bind interfaces only = Yes
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+In the above, no allowance has been made for any session requests that
+will automatically translate to the loopback adaptor address 127.0.0.1.
+To solve this problem change these lines to:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ hosts deny = ALL
+ hosts allow = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy 127.
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+Do NOT use the <command>bind interfaces only</command> parameter where you
+may wish to
+use the samba password change facility, or where &smbclient; may need to
+access a local service for name resolution or for local resource
+connections. (Note: the <command>bind interfaces only</command> parameter deficiency
+where it will not allow connections to the loopback address will be
+fixed soon).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Another common cause of these two errors is having something already running
+on port 139, such as Samba (ie: smbd is running from <application>inetd</application> already) or
+something like Digital's Pathworks. Check your <filename>inetd.conf</filename> file before trying
+to start &smbd; as a daemon, it can avoid a lot of frustration!
+</para>
+
+<para>
+And yet another possible cause for failure of this test is when the subnet mask
+and / or broadcast address settings are incorrect. Please check that the
+network interface IP Address / Broadcast Address / Subnet Mask settings are
+correct and that Samba has correctly noted these in the <filename>log.nmb</filename> file.

+If this doesn't give a similar result to the previous test then

+<title>Configuring Group Mapping</title>
+
+<para>
+Starting with Samba 3.0 alpha 2, new group mapping functionality
+is available to create associations between Windows SIDs and UNIX
+groups. The <parameter>groupmap</parameter> subcommand included with
+the <command>net</command> tool can be used to manage these associations.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The first immediate reason to use the group mapping on a Samba PDC, is that
+the <parameter>domain admin group</parameter> &smb.conf; has been removed.
+This parameter was used to give the listed users membership in the "Domain Admins"
+Windows group which gave local admin rights on their workstations (in
+default configurations).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When installing NT/W2K on a computer, the installer program creates some users
+and groups. Notably the 'Administrators' group, and gives to that group some
+privileges like the ability to change the date and time or to kill any process
+(or close too) running on the local machine. The 'Administrator' user is a
+member of the 'Administrators' group, and thus 'inherit' the 'Administrators'
+group privileges. If a 'joe' user is created and become a member of the
+'Administrator' group, 'joe' has exactly the same rights as 'Administrator'.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When a NT/W2K machine is joined to a domain, the "Domain Adminis" group of the
+PDC is added to the local 'Administrators' group of the workstation. Every
+member of the 'Domain Administrators' group 'inherit' the
+rights of the local 'Administrators' group when logging on the workstation.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The following steps describe how to make samba PDC users members of the
+'Domain Admins' group?
+</para>
+
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem><para>create a unix group (usually in <filename>/etc/group</filename>),
+ let's call it domadm</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>add to this group the users that must be Administrators. For example
+ if you want joe,john and mary, your entry in <filename>/etc/group</filename> will
+ look like:</para>
+
+ <para><programlisting>
+ domadm:x:502:joe,john,mary
+ </programlisting></para>
+
+ </listitem>
+
+<listitem><para>Map this domadm group to the "Domain Admins" group
+ by running the command:</para>
+
+ <para><prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadm</userinput></para>
+
+ <para>The quotes around "Domain Admins" are necessary due to the space in the group name. Also make
+ sure to leave no whitespace surrounding the equal character (=).</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+</orderedlist>
+
+<para>Now joe, john and mary are domain administrators!</para>
+
+<para>
+It is possible to map any arbitrary UNIX group to any Windows NT
+group as well as making any UNIX group a Windows domain group.
+For example, if you wanted to include a UNIX group (e.g. acct) in a ACL on a
+local file or printer on a domain member machine, you would flag
+that group as a domain group by running the following on the Samba PDC:
+</para>
+
+<para><prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>net groupmap add rid=1000 ntgroup="Accounting" unixgroup=acct</userinput></para>
+
+<para>Be aware that the rid parmeter is a unsigned 32 bit integer that should
+normally start at 1000. However, this rid must not overlap with any RID assigned
+to a user. Verifying this is done differently depending on on the passdb backend
+you are using. Future versions of the tools may perform the verification automatically,
+but for now the burden in on you.</para>
+
+<para>You can list the various groups in the mapping database by executing
+<command>net groupmap list</command>. Here is an example:</para>
+
+<para><programlisting><prompt>root# </prompt>net groupmap list
+System Administrators (S-1-5-21-2547222302-1596225915-2414751004-1002) -> sysadmin
+Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-2547222302-1596225915-2414751004-512) -> domadmin
+Domain Users (S-1-5-21-2547222302-1596225915-2414751004-513) -> domuser
+Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-2547222302-1596225915-2414751004-514) -> domguest
+</programlisting></para>

+<title>Integrating MS Windows networks with Samba</title>
+
+<para>
+This section deals with NetBIOS over TCP/IP name to IP address resolution. If
+your MS Windows clients are NOT configured to use NetBIOS over TCP/IP then this
+section does not apply to your installation. If your installation involves use of
+NetBIOS over TCP/IP then this section may help you to resolve networking problems.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+ NetBIOS over TCP/IP has nothing to do with NetBEUI. NetBEUI is NetBIOS
+ over Logical Link Control (LLC). On modern networks it is highly advised
+ to NOT run NetBEUI at all. Note also that there is NO such thing as
+ NetBEUI over TCP/IP - the existence of such a protocol is a complete
+ and utter mis-apprehension.
+</para>
+</note>
+
+<para>
+Since the introduction of MS Windows 2000 it is possible to run MS Windows networking
+without the use of NetBIOS over TCP/IP. NetBIOS over TCP/IP uses UDP port 137 for NetBIOS
+name resolution and uses TCP port 139 for NetBIOS session services. When NetBIOS over
+TCP/IP is disabled on MS Windows 2000 and later clients then only TCP port 445 will be
+used and UDP port 137 and TCP port 139 will not.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+When using Windows 2000 or later clients, if NetBIOS over TCP/IP is NOT disabled, then
+the client will use UDP port 137 (NetBIOS Name Service, also known as the Windows Internet
+Name Service or WINS), TCP port 139 AND TCP port 445 (for actual file and print traffic).
+</para>
+</note>
+
+<para>
+When NetBIOS over TCP/IP is disabled the use of DNS is essential. Most installations that
+disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP today use MS Active Directory Service (ADS). ADS requires
+Dynamic DNS with Service Resource Records (SRV RR) and with Incremental Zone Transfers (IXFR).
+Use of DHCP with ADS is recommended as a further means of maintaining central control
+over client workstation network configuration.

+
+<para>
+Contains a static list of IP Addresses and names.
+eg:
+</para>
+<para><programlisting>
+ 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
+ 192.168.1.1 bigbox.caldera.com bigbox alias4box
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+The purpose of <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> is to provide a
+name resolution mechanism so that uses do not need to remember
+IP addresses.
+</para>
+
+
+<para>
+Network packets that are sent over the physical network transport
+layer communicate not via IP addresses but rather using the Media
+Access Control address, or MAC address. IP Addresses are currently
+32 bits in length and are typically presented as four (4) decimal
+numbers that are separated by a dot (or period). eg: 168.192.1.1
+</para>
+
+<para>
+MAC Addresses use 48 bits (or 6 bytes) and are typically represented
+as two digit hexadecimal numbers separated by colons. eg:
+40:8e:0a:12:34:56
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Every network interfrace must have an MAC address. Associated with
+a MAC address there may be one or more IP addresses. There is NO
+relationship between an IP address and a MAC address, all such assignments
+are arbitary or discretionary in nature. At the most basic level all
+network communications takes place using MAC addressing. Since MAC
+addresses must be globally unique, and generally remains fixed for
+any particular interface, the assignment of an IP address makes sense
+from a network management perspective. More than one IP address can
+be assigned per MAC address. One address must be the primary IP address,
+this is the address that will be returned in the ARP reply.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When a user or a process wants to communicate with another machine
+the protocol implementation ensures that the "machine name" or "host
+name" is resolved to an IP address in a manner that is controlled
+by the TCP/IP configuration control files. The file
+<filename>/etc/hosts</filename> is one such file.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When the IP address of the destination interface has been
+determined a protocol called ARP/RARP is used to identify
+the MAC address of the target interface. ARP stands for Address
+Resolution Protocol, and is a broadcast oriented method that
+uses UDP (User Datagram Protocol) to send a request to all
+interfaces on the local network segment using the all 1's MAC
+address. Network interfaces are programmed to respond to two
+MAC addresses only; their own unique address and the address
+ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. The reply packet from an ARP request will
+contain the MAC address and the primary IP address for each
+interface.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> file is foundational to all
+Unix/Linux TCP/IP installations and as a minumum will contain
+the localhost and local network interface IP addresses and the
+primary names by which they are known within the local machine.
+This file helps to prime the pump so that a basic level of name
+resolution can exist before any other method of name resolution
+becomes available.

+Starting with version 2.2.0 samba has Linux support for extensions to
+the name service switch infrastructure so that linux clients will
+be able to obtain resolution of MS Windows NetBIOS names to IP
+Addresses. To gain this functionality Samba needs to be compiled
+with appropriate arguments to the make command (ie: <command>make
+nsswitch/libnss_wins.so</command>). The resulting library should
+then be installed in the <filename>/lib</filename> directory and
+the "wins" parameter needs to be added to the "hosts:" line in
+the <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> file. At this point it
+will be possible to ping any MS Windows machine by it's NetBIOS
+machine name, so long as that machine is within the workgroup to
+which both the samba machine and the MS Windows machine belong.

+<title>Name resolution as used within MS Windows networking</title>
+
+<para>
+MS Windows networking is predicated about the name each machine
+is given. This name is known variously (and inconsistently) as
+the "computer name", "machine name", "networking name", "netbios name",
+"SMB name". All terms mean the same thing with the exception of
+"netbios name" which can apply also to the name of the workgroup or the
+domain name. The terms "workgroup" and "domain" are really just a
+simply name with which the machine is associated. All NetBIOS names
+are exactly 16 characters in length. The 16th character is reserved.
+It is used to store a one byte value that indicates service level
+information for the NetBIOS name that is registered. A NetBIOS machine
+name is therefore registered for each service type that is provided by
+the client/server.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The following are typical NetBIOS name/service type registrations:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ Unique NetBIOS Names:
+ MACHINENAME&lt;00&gt; = Server Service is running on MACHINENAME
+ MACHINENAME&lt;03&gt; = Generic Machine Name (NetBIOS name)
+ MACHINENAME&lt;20&gt; = LanMan Server service is running on MACHINENAME
+ WORKGROUP&lt;1b&gt; = Domain Master Browser
+
+ Group Names:
+ WORKGROUP&lt;03&gt; = Generic Name registered by all members of WORKGROUP
+ WORKGROUP&lt;1c&gt; = Domain Controllers / Netlogon Servers
+ WORKGROUP&lt;1d&gt; = Local Master Browsers
+ WORKGROUP&lt;1e&gt; = Internet Name Resolvers
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+It should be noted that all NetBIOS machines register their own
+names as per the above. This is in vast contrast to TCP/IP
+installations where traditionally the system administrator will
+determine in the /etc/hosts or in the DNS database what names
+are associated with each IP address.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+One further point of clarification should be noted, the <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>
+file and the DNS records do not provide the NetBIOS name type information
+that MS Windows clients depend on to locate the type of service that may
+be needed. An example of this is what happens when an MS Windows client
+wants to locate a domain logon server. It finds this service and the IP
+address of a server that provides it by performing a lookup (via a
+NetBIOS broadcast) for enumeration of all machines that have
+registered the name type *&lt;1c&gt;. A logon request is then sent to each
+IP address that is returned in the enumerated list of IP addresses. Which
+ever machine first replies then ends up providing the logon services.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The name "workgroup" or "domain" really can be confusing since these
+have the added significance of indicating what is the security
+architecture of the MS Windows network. The term "workgroup" indicates
+that the primary nature of the network environment is that of a
+peer-to-peer design. In a WORKGROUP all machines are responsible for
+their own security, and generally such security is limited to use of
+just a password (known as SHARE MODE security). In most situations
+with peer-to-peer networking the users who control their own machines
+will simply opt to have no security at all. It is possible to have
+USER MODE security in a WORKGROUP environment, thus requiring use
+of a user name and a matching password.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+MS Windows networking is thus predetermined to use machine names
+for all local and remote machine message passing. The protocol used is
+called Server Message Block (SMB) and this is implemented using
+the NetBIOS protocol (Network Basic Input Output System). NetBIOS can
+be encapsulated using LLC (Logical Link Control) protocol - in which case
+the resulting protocol is called NetBEUI (Network Basic Extended User
+Interface). NetBIOS can also be run over IPX (Internetworking Packet
+Exchange) protocol as used by Novell NetWare, and it can be run
+over TCP/IP protocols - in which case the resulting protocol is called
+NBT or NetBT, the NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+MS Windows machines use a complex array of name resolution mechanisms.
+Since we are primarily concerned with TCP/IP this demonstration is
+limited to this area.
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>The NetBIOS Name Cache</title>
+
+<para>
+All MS Windows machines employ an in memory buffer in which is
+stored the NetBIOS names and IP addresses for all external
+machines that that machine has communicated with over the
+past 10-15 minutes. It is more efficient to obtain an IP address
+for a machine from the local cache than it is to go through all the
+configured name resolution mechanisms.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If a machine whose name is in the local name cache has been shut
+down before the name had been expired and flushed from the cache, then
+an attempt to exchange a message with that machine will be subject
+to time-out delays. i.e.: Its name is in the cache, so a name resolution
+lookup will succeed, but the machine can not respond. This can be
+frustrating for users - but it is a characteristic of the protocol.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The MS Windows utility that allows examination of the NetBIOS
+name cache is called "nbtstat". The Samba equivalent of this
+is called "nmblookup".
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>The LMHOSTS file</title>
+
+<para>
+This file is usually located in MS Windows NT 4.0 or
+2000 in <filename>C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC</filename> and contains
+the IP Address and the machine name in matched pairs. The
+<filename>LMHOSTS</filename> file performs NetBIOS name
+to IP address mapping.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+It typically looks like:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ # Copyright (c) 1998 Microsoft Corp.
+ #
+ # This is a sample LMHOSTS file used by the Microsoft Wins Client (NetBIOS
+ # over TCP/IP) stack for Windows98
+ #
+ # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to NT computernames
+ # (NetBIOS) names. Each entry should be kept on an individual line.
+ # The IP address should be placed in the first column followed by the
+ # corresponding computername. The address and the comptername
+ # should be separated by at least one space or tab. The "#" character
+ # is generally used to denote the start of a comment (see the exceptions
+ # below).
+ #
+ # This file is compatible with Microsoft LAN Manager 2.x TCP/IP lmhosts
+ # files and offers the following extensions:
+ #
+ # #PRE
+ # #DOM:&lt;domain&gt;
+ # #INCLUDE &lt;filename&gt;
+ # #BEGIN_ALTERNATE
+ # #END_ALTERNATE
+ # \0xnn (non-printing character support)
+ #
+ # Following any entry in the file with the characters "#PRE" will cause
+ # the entry to be preloaded into the name cache. By default, entries are
+ # not preloaded, but are parsed only after dynamic name resolution fails.
+ #
+ # Following an entry with the "#DOM:&lt;domain&gt;" tag will associate the
+ # entry with the domain specified by &lt;domain&gt;. This affects how the
+ # browser and logon services behave in TCP/IP environments. To preload
+ # the host name associated with #DOM entry, it is necessary to also add a
+ # #PRE to the line. The &lt;domain&gt; is always preloaded although it will not
+ # be shown when the name cache is viewed.
+ #
+ # Specifying "#INCLUDE &lt;filename&gt;" will force the RFC NetBIOS (NBT)
+ # software to seek the specified &lt;filename&gt; and parse it as if it were
+ # local. &lt;filename&gt; is generally a UNC-based name, allowing a
+ # centralized lmhosts file to be maintained on a server.
+ # It is ALWAYS necessary to provide a mapping for the IP address of the
+ # server prior to the #INCLUDE. This mapping must use the #PRE directive.
+ # In addtion the share "public" in the example below must be in the
+ # LanManServer list of "NullSessionShares" in order for client machines to
+ # be able to read the lmhosts file successfully. This key is under
+ # \machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters\nullsessionshares
+ # in the registry. Simply add "public" to the list found there.
+ #
+ # The #BEGIN_ and #END_ALTERNATE keywords allow multiple #INCLUDE
+ # statements to be grouped together. Any single successful include
+ # will cause the group to succeed.
+ #
+ # Finally, non-printing characters can be embedded in mappings by
+ # first surrounding the NetBIOS name in quotations, then using the
+ # \0xnn notation to specify a hex value for a non-printing character.
+ #
+ # The following example illustrates all of these extensions:
+ #
+ # 102.54.94.97 rhino #PRE #DOM:networking #net group's DC
+ # 102.54.94.102 "appname \0x14" #special app server

+ # 102.54.94.117 localsrv #PRE #needed for the include
+ #
+ # #BEGIN_ALTERNATE
+ # #INCLUDE \\localsrv\public\lmhosts
+ # #INCLUDE \\rhino\public\lmhosts
+ # #END_ALTERNATE
+ #
+ # In the above example, the "appname" server contains a special
+ # character in its name, the "popular" and "localsrv" server names are
+ # preloaded, and the "rhino" server name is specified so it can be used
+ # to later #INCLUDE a centrally maintained lmhosts file if the "localsrv"
+ # system is unavailable.
+ #
+ # Note that the whole file is parsed including comments on each lookup,
+ # so keeping the number of comments to a minimum will improve performance.

+<title>Interdomain Trust Relationships</title>
+
+<para>
+Samba-3 supports NT4 style domain trust relationships. This is feature that many sites
+will want to use if they migrate to Samba-3 from and NT4 style domain and do NOT want to
+adopt Active Directory or an LDAP based authentication back end. This section explains
+some background information regarding trust relationships and how to create them. It is now
+possible for Samba-3 to NT4 trust (and vice versa), as well as Samba3 to Samba3 trusts.
+</para>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Trust Relationship Background</title>
+
+<para>
+MS Windows NT3.x/4.0 type security domains employ a non-hierarchical security structure.
+The limitations of this architecture as it affects the scalability of MS Windows networking
+in large organisations is well known. Additionally, the flat-name space that results from
+this design significantly impacts the delegation of administrative responsibilities in
+large and diverse organisations.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Microsoft developed Active Directory Service (ADS), based on Kerberos and LDAP, as a means
+of circumventing the limitations of the older technologies. Not every organisation is ready
+or willing to embrace ADS. For small companies the older NT4 style domain security paradigm
+is quite adequate, there thus remains an entrenched user base for whom there is no direct
+desire to go through a disruptive change to adopt ADS.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Microsoft introduced with MS Windows NT the ability to allow differing security domains
+to affect a mechanism so that users from one domain may be given access rights and privileges
+in another domain. The language that describes this capability is couched in terms of
+<emphasis>Trusts</emphasis>. Specifically, one domain will <emphasis>trust</emphasis> the users
+from another domain. The domain from which users are available to another security domain is
+said to be a trusted domain. The domain in which those users have assigned rights and privileges
+is the trusting domain. With NT3.x/4.0 all trust relationships are always in one direction only,
+thus if users in both domains are to have privileges and rights in each others' domain, then it is
+necessary to establish two (2) relationships, one in each direction.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In an NT4 style MS security domain, all trusts are non-transitive. This means that if there
+are three (3) domains (let's call them RED, WHITE, and BLUE) where RED and WHITE have a trust
+relationship, and WHITE and BLUE have a trust relationship, then it holds that there is no
+implied trust between the RED and BLUE domains. ie: Relationships are explicit and not
+transitive.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+New to MS Windows 2000 ADS security contexts is the fact that trust relationships are two-way
+by default. Also, all inter-ADS domain trusts are transitive. In the case of the RED, WHITE and BLUE
+domains above, with Windows 2000 and ADS the RED and BLUE domains CAN trust each other. This is
+an inherent feature of ADS domains. Samba-3 implements MS Windows NT4
+style Interdomain trusts and interoperates with MS Windows 200x ADS
+security domains in similar manner to MS Windows NT4 style domains.

+<title>NT4 as the Trusting Domain (ie. creating the trusted account)</title>
+
+<para>
+For MS Windows NT4, all domain trust relationships are configured using the Domain User Manager.
+To affect a two way trust relationship it is necessary for each domain administrator to make
+available (for use by an external domain) it's security resources. This is done from the Domain
+User Manager Policies entry on the menu bar. From the Policy menu, select Trust Relationships, then
+next to the lower box that is labelled "Permitted to Trust this Domain" are two buttons, "Add" and
+"Remove". The "Add" button will open a panel in which needs to be entered the remote domain that
+will be able to assign user rights to your domain. In addition it is necessary to enter a password
+that is specific to this trust relationship. The password needs to be
+typed twice (for standard confirmation).

+<title>NT4 as the Trusted Domain (ie. creating trusted account's password)</title>

+A trust relationship will work only when the other (trusting) domain makes the appropriate connections
+with the trusted domain. To consumate the trust relationship the administrator will launch the
+Domain User Manager, from the menu select Policies, then select Trust Relationships, then click on the
+"Add" button that is next to the box that is labelled "Trusted Domains". A panel will open in
+which must be entered the name of the remote domain as well as the password assigned to that trust.

+<title>Configuring Samba NT-style Domain Trusts</title>
+
+<para>
+This description is meant to be a fairly short introduction about how to set up a Samba server so
+that it could participate in interdomain trust relationships. Trust relationship support in Samba
+is in its early stage, so lot of things don't work yet.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Each of the procedures described below is treated as they were performed with Windows NT4 Server on
+one end. The remote end could just as well be another Samba-3 domain. It can be clearly seen, after
+reading this document, that combining Samba-specific parts of what's written below leads to trust
+between domains in purely Samba environment.
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Samba-3 as the Trusting Domain</title>
+
+<para>
+In order to set the Samba PDC to be the trusted party of the relationship first you need
+to create special account for the domain that will be the trusting party. To do that,
+you can use the 'smbpasswd' utility. Creating the trusted domain account is very
+similiar to creating a trusted machine account. Suppose, your domain is
+called SAMBA, and the remote domain is called RUMBA. The first step
+will be to issue this command from your favourite shell:
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<screen>
+<prompt>deity#</prompt> <userinput>smbpasswd -a -i rumba</userinput>
+ New SMB password: XXXXXXXX
+ Retype SMB password: XXXXXXXX
+ Added user rumba$
+</screen>
+
+where <parameter>-a</parameter> means to add a new account into the
+passdb database and <parameter>-i</parameter> means: ''create this
+account with the InterDomain trust flag''
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The account name will be 'rumba$' (the name of the remote domain)
+</para>
+
+<para>
+After issuing this command you'll be asked to enter the password for
+the account. You can use any password you want, but be aware that Windows NT will
+not change this password until 7 days following account creation.
+After the command returns successfully, you can look at the entry for the new account
+(in the stardard way depending on your configuration) and see that account's name is
+really RUMBA$ and it has 'I' flag in the flags field. Now you're ready to confirm
+the trust by establishing it from Windows NT Server.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Open 'User Manager for Domains' and from menu 'Policies' select 'Trust Relationships...'.
+Right beside 'Trusted domains' list box press 'Add...' button. You will be prompted for
+the trusted domain name and the relationship password. Type in SAMBA, as this is
+your domain name, and the password used at the time of account creation.
+Press OK and, if everything went without incident, you will see 'Trusted domain relationship
+successfully established' message.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+<sect2>
+<title>Samba-3 as the Trusted Domain</title>
+
+<para>
+This time activities are somewhat reversed. Again, we'll assume that your domain
+controlled by the Samba PDC is called SAMBA and NT-controlled domain is called RUMBA.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The very first thing requirement is to add an account for the SAMBA domain on RUMBA's PDC.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Launch the Domain User Manager, then from the menu select 'Policies', 'Trust Relationships'.
+Now, next to 'Trusted Domains' box press the 'Add' button, and type in the name of the trusted
+domain (SAMBA) and password securing the relationship.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The password can be arbitrarily chosen. It is easy to change the password
+from the Samba server whenever you want. After confirming the password your account is
+ready for use. Now it's Samba's turn.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Using your favourite shell while being logged in as root, issue this command:
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<prompt>deity# </prompt><userinput>net rpc trustdom establish rumba</userinput>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You will be prompted for the password you just typed on your Windows NT4 Server box.
+Do not worry if you see an error message that mentions a returned code of
+<errorname>NT_STATUS_NOLOGON_INTERDOMAIN_TRUST_ACCOUNT</errorname>. It means the
+password you gave is correct and the NT4 Server says the account is
+ready for interdomain connection and not for ordinary
+connection. After that, be patient it can take a while (especially
+in large networks), you should see the 'Success' message. Congratulations! Your trust
+relationship has just been established.
+</para>
+
+<note><para>
+Note that you have to run this command as root because you must have write access to
+the <filename>secrets.tdb</filename> file.

+Samba is a file and print server for Windows-based clients using TCP/IP as the underlying
+transport protocol. In fact, it can support any SMB/CIFS-enabled client. One of Samba's big
+strengths is that you can use it to blend your mix of Windows and Linux machines together
+without requiring a separate Windows NT/2000/2003 Server. Samba is actively being developed
+by a global team of about 30 active programmers and was originally developed by Andrew Tridgell.

+<sect1>
+<title>Background</title>
+
+<para>
+Once long ago, there was a buzzword referred to as DCE/RPC. This stood for Distributed
+Computing Environment/Remote Procedure Calls and conceptually was a good idea. It was
+originally developed by Apollo/HP as NCA 1.0 (Network Computing Architecture) and only
+ran over UDP. When there was a need to run it over TCP so that it would be compatible
+with DECnet 3.0, it was redesigned, submitted to The Open Group, and officially became
+known as DCE/RPC. Microsoft came along and decided, rather than pay $20 per seat to
+license this technology, to reimplement DCE/RPC themselves as MSRPC. From this, the
+concept continued in the form of SMB (Server Message Block, or the "what") using the
+NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System, or the "how") compatibility layer. You can
+run SMB (i.e., transport) over several different protocols; many different implementations
+arose as a result, including NBIPX (NetBIOS over IPX, NwLnkNb, or NWNBLink) and NBT
+(NetBIOS over TCP/IP, or NetBT). As the years passed, NBT became the most common form
+of implementation until the advance of "Direct-Hosted TCP" -- the Microsoft marketing
+term for eliminating NetBIOS entirely and running SMB by itself across TCP port 445
+only. As of yet, direct-hosted TCP has yet to catch on.
+</para>
+

+Perhaps the best summary of the origins of SMB are voiced in the 1997 article titled, CIFS:
+Common Insecurities Fail Scrutiny:

+
+<para><emphasis>
+Several megabytes of NT-security archives, random whitepapers, RFCs, the CIFS spec, the Samba
+stuff, a few MS knowledge-base articles, strings extracted from binaries, and packet dumps have
+been dutifully waded through during the information-gathering stages of this project, and there
+are *still* many missing pieces... While often tedious, at least the way has been generously
+littered with occurrences of clapping hand to forehead and muttering 'crikey, what are they
+thinking?

+ NetBIOS: Acronym for "Network Basic Input/Output System". This is not a protocol;

+ it can help to think of this in comparison your computer's BIOS -- it controls the
+ essential functions of your input/output hardware -- whereas NetBIOS controls the
+ essential functions of your input/output traffic via the network. Again, this is a bit
+ of an exaggeration but it should help that paradigm shift. What is important to realize

+ not essential to deciphering SMB; however it helps to point out that it is not the

+ This is how file and printer sharing are accomplished in Windows 95/98/ME. They
+ traditionally rely on three ports: NetBIOS Name Service (nbname) via UDP port 137,
+ NetBIOS Datagram Service (nbdatagram) via UDP port 138, and NetBIOS Session Service
+ (nbsession) via TCP port 139. All name resolution is done via WINS, NetBIOS broadcasts,
+ and DNS. NetBIOS over TCP is documented in RFC 1001 (Concepts and methods) and RFC 1002

+There are currently two network filesystem client projects for Linux that are directly
+related to Samba: SMBFS and CIFS VFS. These are both available in the Linux kernel itself.
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ SMBFS (Server Message Block File System) allows you to mount SMB shares (the protocol
+ that Microsoft Windows and OS/2 Lan Manager use to share files and printers
+ over local networks) and access them just like any other Unix directory. This is useful
+ if you just want to mount such filesystems without being a SMBFS server.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ CIFS VFS (Common Internet File System Virtual File System) is the successor to SMBFS, and
+ is being actively developed for the upcoming version of the Linux kernel. The intent of this module
+ is to provide advanced network file system functionality including support for dfs (heirarchical
+ name space), secure per-user session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock),
+ optional packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements, and optional
+ Winbind (nsswitch) integration.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+</itemizedlist>

+<para>
+Again, it's important to note that these are implementations for client filesystems, and have
+nothing to do with acting as a file and print server for SMB/CIFS clients.

+<title>SMB Methodology</title>
+
+<para>
+Traditionally, SMB uses UDP port 137 (NetBIOS name service, or netbios-ns),
+UDP port 138 (NetBIOS datagram service, or netbios-dgm), and TCP port 139 (NetBIOS
+session service, or netbios-ssn). Anyone looking at their network with a good
+packet sniffer will be amazed at the amount of traffic generated by just opening
+up a single file. In general, SMB sessions are established in the following order:

+"What's fundamentally wrong is that nobody ever had any taste when they

+but internally it's just a complete mess. And even people who program for Microsoft
+and who have had years of experience, just don't know how it works internally.
+Worse, nobody dares change it. Nobody dares to fix bugs because it's such a
+mess that fixing one bug might just break a hundred programs that depend on
+that bug. And Microsoft isn't interested in anyone fixing bugs -- they're interested
+in making money. They don't have anybody who takes pride in Windows 95 as an

+
+<para><emphasis>
+The problem with that is that over time, when you have this kind of approach,
+and because nobody understands it, because nobody REALLY fixes bugs (other than
+when they're really obvious), the end result is really messy. You can't trust
+it because under certain circumstances it just spontaneously reboots or just
+halts in the middle of something that shouldn't be strange. Normally it works
+fine and then once in a blue moon for some completely unknown reason, it's dead,

+not the completely clueless user who probably sits there shivering thinking

+<title>Migration from NT4 PDC to Samba-3 PDC</title>
+
+<para>
+This is a rough guide to assist those wishing to migrate from NT4 domain control to
+Samba-3 based domain control.
+</para>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Planning and Getting Started</title>
+
+<para>
+In the IT world there is often a saying that all problems are encountered because of
+poor planning. The corrollary to this saying is that not all problems can be anticpated
+and planned for. Then again, good planning will anticpate most show stopper type situations.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Those wishing to migrate from MS Windows NT4 domain control to a Samba-3 domain control
+environment would do well to develop a detailed migration plan. So here are a few pointers to
+help migration get under way.
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Objectives</title>
+
+<para>
+The key objective for most organisations will be to make the migration from MS Windows NT4
+to Samba-3 domain control as painless as possible. One of the challenges you may experience
+in your migration process may well be one of convincing management that the new environment
+should remain in place. Many who have introduced open source technologies have experienced
+pressure to return to a Microsoft based platform solution at the first sign of trouble.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+It is strongly advised that before attempting a migration to a Samba-3 controlled network
+that every possible effort be made to gain all-round commitment to the change. Firstly, you
+should know precisely <emphasis>why</emphasis> the change is important for the organisation.
+Possible motivations to make a change include:

+It is vital that it be well recognised that Samba-3 is NOT MS Windows NT4. Samba-3 offers
+an alternative solution that is both different from MS Windows NT4 and that offers some
+advantages compared with it. It should also be recognised that Samba-3 lacks many of the
+features that Microsoft has promoted as core values in migration from MS Windows NT4 to
+MS Windows 2000 and beyond (with or without Active Directory services).

+Before migrating a network from MS Windows NT4 to Samba-3 it is vital that all necessary factors are
+considered. Users should be educated about changes they may experience so that the change will be a
+welcome one and not become an obstacle to the work they need to do. The following are some of the
+factors that will go into a successful migration:
+</para>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Domain Layout</title>
+
+<para>
+Samba-3 can be configured as a domain controller, a back-up domain controller (probably best called
+a secondary controller), a domain member, or as a stand-alone server. The Windows network security
+domain context should be sized and scoped before implementation. Particular attention needs to be
+paid to the location of the primary domain controller (PDC) as well as backup controllers (BDCs).
+It should be noted that one way in which Samba-3 differs from Microsoft technology is that if one
+chooses to use an LDAP authentication backend then the same database can be used by several different
+domains. This means that in a complex organisation there can be a single LDAP database, that itself
+can be distributed, that can simultaneously serve multiple domains (that can also be widely distributed).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+It is recommended that from a design perspective, the number of users per server, as well as the number
+of servers, per domain should be scaled according to needs and should also consider server capacity
+and network bandwidth.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+A physical network segment may house several domains, each of which may span multiple network segments.
+Where domains span routed network segments it is most advisable to consider and test the performance
+implications of the design and layout of a network. A Centrally located domain controller that is being
+designed to serve mulitple routed network segments may result in severe performance problems if the
+response time (eg: ping timing) between the remote segment and the PDC is more than 100 ms. In situations
+where the delay is too long it is highly recommended to locate a backup controller (BDC) to serve as
+the local authentication and access control server.
+</para>
+</sect3>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Server Share and Directory Layout</title>
+
+<para>
+There are few cardinal rules to effective network design that can be broken with impunity.
+The most important rule of effective network management is that simplicity is king in every
+well controlled network. Every part of the infrastructure must be managed, the more complex
+it is, the greater will be the demand of keeping systems secure and functional.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The nature of the data that must be stored needs to be born in mind when deciding how many
+shares must be created. The physical disk space layout should also be taken into account
+when designing where share points will be created. Keep in mind that all data needs to be
+backed up, thus the simpler the disk layout the easier it will be to keep track of what must
+be backed up to tape or other off-line storage medium. Always plan and implement for minimum
+maintenance. Leave nothing to chance in your design, above all, do not leave backups to chance:
+Backup and test, validate every backup, create a disaster recovery plan and prove that it works.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Users should be grouped according to data access control needs. File and directory access
+is best controlled via group permissions and the use of the "sticky bit" on group controlled
+directories may substantially avoid file access complaints from samba share users.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Many network administrators who are new to the game will attempt to use elaborate techniques
+to set access controls, on files, directories, shares, as well as in share definitions.
+There is the ever present danger that that administrator's successor will not understand the
+complex mess that has been inherited. Remember, apparent job security through complex design
+and implementation may ultimately cause loss of operations and downtime to users as the new
+administrator learns to untangle your web. Keep access controls simple and effective and
+make sure that users will never be interrupted by the stupidity of complexity.
+</para>
+</sect3>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Logon Scripts</title>
+
+<para>
+Please refer to the section of this document on Advanced Network Adminsitration for information
+regarding the network logon script options for Samba-3. Logon scripts can help to ensure that
+all users gain share and printer connections they need.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Logon scripts can be created on-the-fly so that all commands executed are specific to the
+rights and privilidges granted to the user. The preferred controls should be affected through
+group membership so that group information can be used to custom create a logong script using
+the <filename>root preexec</filename> parameters to the <filename>NETLOGON</filename> share.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Some sites prefer to use a tool such as <filename>kixstart</filename> to establish a controlled
+user environment. In any case you may wish to do a google search for logon script process controls.
+In particular, you may wish to explore the use of the Microsoft knowledgebase article KB189105 that
+deals with how to add printers without user intervention via the logon script process.
+</para>
+</sect3>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Profile Migration/Creation</title>
+
+<para>
+User and Group Profiles may be migrated using the tools described in the section titled Desktop Profile
+Management.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Profiles may also be managed using the Samba-3 tool <filename>profiles</filename>. This tool allows
+the MS Windows NT style security identifiers (SIDs) that are stored inside the profile NTuser.DAT file
+to be changed to the SID of the Samba-3 domain.
+</para>
+</sect3>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>User and Group Accounts</title>
+
+<para>
+It is possible to migrate all account settings from an MS Windows NT4 domain to Samba-3. Before
+attempting to migrate user and group accounts it is STRONGLY advised to create in Samba-3 the
+groups that are present on the MS Windows NT4 domain <emphasis>AND</emphasis> to connect these to
+suitable Unix/Linux groups. Following this simple advice will mean that all user and group attributes
+should migrate painlessly.

+<title>UNIX Permission Bits and Windows NT Access Control Lists</title>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Viewing and changing UNIX permissions using the NT
+ security dialogs</title>
+
+ <para>Windows NT clients can use their native security settings
+ dialog box to view and modify the underlying UNIX permissions.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that this ability is careful not to compromise
+ the security of the UNIX host Samba is running on, and
+ still obeys all the file permission rules that a Samba
+ administrator can set.</para>
+
+ <note>
+ <para>
+ All access to Unix/Linux system file via Samba is controlled at
+ the operating system file access control level. When trying to
+ figure out file access problems it is vitally important to identify
+ the identity of the Windows user as it is presented by Samba at
+ the point of file access. This can best be determined from the
+ Samba log files.
+ </para>
+ </note>
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>How to view file security on a Samba share</title>
+
+ <para>From an NT4/2000/XP client, single-click with the right
+ mouse button on any file or directory in a Samba mounted
+ drive letter or UNC path. When the menu pops-up, click
+ on the <emphasis>Properties</emphasis> entry at the bottom of
+ the menu. This brings up the file properties dialog
+ box. Click on the tab <emphasis>Security</emphasis> and you
+ will see three buttons, <emphasis>Permissions</emphasis>,
+ <emphasis>Auditing</emphasis>, and <emphasis>Ownership</emphasis>.
+ The <emphasis>Auditing</emphasis> button will cause either
+ an error message <errorname>A requested privilege is not held
+ by the client</errorname> to appear if the user is not the
+ NT Administrator, or a dialog which is intended to allow an
+ Administrator to add auditing requirements to a file if the
+ user is logged on as the NT Administrator. This dialog is
+ non-functional with a Samba share at this time, as the only
+ useful button, the <command>Add</command> button will not currently
+ allow a list of users to be seen.</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Viewing file ownership</title>
+
+ <para>Clicking on the <command>"Ownership"</command> button
+ brings up a dialog box telling you who owns the given file. The
+ owner name will be of the form :</para>
+
+ <para><command>"SERVER\user (Long name)"</command></para>
+
+ <para>Where <replaceable>SERVER</replaceable> is the NetBIOS name of
+ the Samba server, <replaceable>user</replaceable> is the user name of
+ the UNIX user who owns the file, and <replaceable>(Long name)</replaceable>
+ is the descriptive string identifying the user (normally found in the
+ GECOS field of the UNIX password database). Click on the <command>Close
+ </command> button to remove this dialog.</para>
+
+ <para>If the parameter <parameter>nt acl support</parameter>
+ is set to <constant>false</constant> then the file owner will
+ be shown as the NT user <command>"Everyone"</command>.</para>
+
+ <para>The <command>Take Ownership</command> button will not allow
+ you to change the ownership of this file to yourself (clicking on
+ it will display a dialog box complaining that the user you are
+ currently logged onto the NT client cannot be found). The reason
+ for this is that changing the ownership of a file is a privileged
+ operation in UNIX, available only to the <emphasis>root</emphasis>
+ user. As clicking on this button causes NT to attempt to change
+ the ownership of a file to the current user logged into the NT
+ client this will not work with Samba at this time.</para>
+
+ <para>There is an NT chown command that will work with Samba
+ and allow a user with Administrator privilege connected
+ to a Samba server as root to change the ownership of
+ files on both a local NTFS filesystem or remote mounted NTFS
+ or Samba drive. This is available as part of the <emphasis>Seclib
+ </emphasis> NT security library written by Jeremy Allison of
+ the Samba Team, available from the main Samba ftp site.</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Viewing file or directory permissions</title>
+
+ <para>The third button is the <command>"Permissions"</command>
+ button. Clicking on this brings up a dialog box that shows both
+ the permissions and the UNIX owner of the file or directory.
+ The owner is displayed in the form :</para>
+
+ <para><command>"SERVER\user (Long name)"</command></para>
+
+ <para>Where <replaceable>SERVER</replaceable> is the NetBIOS name of
+ the Samba server, <replaceable>user</replaceable> is the user name of
+ the UNIX user who owns the file, and <replaceable>(Long name)</replaceable>
+ is the descriptive string identifying the user (normally found in the
+ GECOS field of the UNIX password database).</para>
+
+ <para>If the parameter <parameter>nt acl support</parameter>
+ is set to <constant>false</constant> then the file owner will
+ be shown as the NT user <command>"Everyone"</command> and the
+ permissions will be shown as NT "Full Control".</para>
+
+
+ <para>The permissions field is displayed differently for files
+ and directories, so I'll describe the way file permissions
+ are displayed first.</para>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>File Permissions</title>
+
+ <para>The standard UNIX user/group/world triple and
+ the corresponding "read", "write", "execute" permissions
+ triples are mapped by Samba into a three element NT ACL
+ with the 'r', 'w', and 'x' bits mapped into the corresponding
+ NT permissions. The UNIX world permissions are mapped into
+ the global NT group <command>Everyone</command>, followed
+ by the list of permissions allowed for UNIX world. The UNIX
+ owner and group permissions are displayed as an NT
+ <command>user</command> icon and an NT <command>local
+ group</command> icon respectively followed by the list
+ of permissions allowed for the UNIX user and group.</para>
+
+ <para>As many UNIX permission sets don't map into common
+ NT names such as <command>"read"</command>, <command>
+ "change"</command> or <command>"full control"</command> then
+ usually the permissions will be prefixed by the words <command>
+ "Special Access"</command> in the NT display list.</para>
+
+ <para>But what happens if the file has no permissions allowed
+ for a particular UNIX user group or world component ? In order
+ to allow "no permissions" to be seen and modified then Samba
+ overloads the NT <command>"Take Ownership"</command> ACL attribute
+ (which has no meaning in UNIX) and reports a component with
+ no permissions as having the NT <command>"O"</command> bit set.
+ This was chosen of course to make it look like a zero, meaning
+ zero permissions. More details on the decision behind this will
+ be given below.</para>
+ </sect2>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Directory Permissions</title>
+
+ <para>Directories on an NT NTFS file system have two
+ different sets of permissions. The first set of permissions
+ is the ACL set on the directory itself, this is usually displayed
+ in the first set of parentheses in the normal <command>"RW"</command>
+ NT style. This first set of permissions is created by Samba in
+ exactly the same way as normal file permissions are, described
+ above, and is displayed in the same way.</para>
+
+ <para>The second set of directory permissions has no real meaning
+ in the UNIX permissions world and represents the <command>
+ "inherited"</command> permissions that any file created within
+ this directory would inherit.</para>
+
+ <para>Samba synthesises these inherited permissions for NT by
+ returning as an NT ACL the UNIX permission mode that a new file
+ created by Samba on this share would receive.</para>
+ </sect2>
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Modifying file or directory permissions</title>
+
+ <para>Modifying file and directory permissions is as simple
+ as changing the displayed permissions in the dialog box, and
+ clicking the <command>OK</command> button. However, there are
+ limitations that a user needs to be aware of, and also interactions
+ with the standard Samba permission masks and mapping of DOS
+ attributes that need to also be taken into account.</para>
+
+ <para>If the parameter <parameter>nt acl support</parameter>
+ is set to <constant>false</constant> then any attempt to set
+ security permissions will fail with an <command>"Access Denied"
+ </command> message.</para>
+
+ <para>The first thing to note is that the <command>"Add"</command>
+ button will not return a list of users in Samba (it will give
+ an error message of <command>"The remote procedure call failed
+ and did not execute"</command>). This means that you can only
+ manipulate the current user/group/world permissions listed in
+ the dialog box. This actually works quite well as these are the
+ only permissions that UNIX actually has.</para>
+
+ <para>If a permission triple (either user, group, or world)
+ is removed from the list of permissions in the NT dialog box,
+ then when the <command>"OK"</command> button is pressed it will
+ be applied as "no permissions" on the UNIX side. If you then
+ view the permissions again the "no permissions" entry will appear
+ as the NT <command>"O"</command> flag, as described above. This
+ allows you to add permissions back to a file or directory once
+ you have removed them from a triple component.</para>
+
+ <para>As UNIX supports only the "r", "w" and "x" bits of
+ an NT ACL then if other NT security attributes such as "Delete
+ access" are selected then they will be ignored when applied on
+ the Samba server.</para>
+
+ <para>When setting permissions on a directory the second
+ set of permissions (in the second set of parentheses) is
+ by default applied to all files within that directory. If this
+ is not what you want you must uncheck the <command>"Replace
+ permissions on existing files"</command> checkbox in the NT
+ dialog before clicking <command>"OK"</command>.</para>
+
+ <para>If you wish to remove all permissions from a
+ user/group/world component then you may either highlight the
+ component and click the <command>"Remove"</command> button,
+ or set the component to only have the special <command>"Take
+ Ownership"</command> permission (displayed as <command>"O"
+ </command>) highlighted.</para>
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Interaction with the standard Samba create mask
+ parameters</title>
+
+ <para>There are four parameters
+ to control interaction with the standard Samba create mask parameters.
+ These are :</para>
+
+ <para><parameter>security mask</parameter></para>
+ <para><parameter>force security mode</parameter></para>
+ <para><parameter>directory security mask</parameter></para>
+ <para><parameter>force directory security mode</parameter></para>
+
+ <para>Once a user clicks <command>"OK"</command> to apply the
+ permissions Samba maps the given permissions into a user/group/world
+ r/w/x triple set, and then will check the changed permissions for a
+ file against the bits set in the <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html#SECURITYMASK">
+ <parameter>security mask</parameter></ulink> parameter. Any bits that
+ were changed that are not set to '1' in this parameter are left alone
+ in the file permissions.</para>
+
+ <para>Essentially, zero bits in the <parameter>security mask</parameter>
+ mask may be treated as a set of bits the user is <emphasis>not</emphasis>
+ allowed to change, and one bits are those the user is allowed to change.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>If not set explicitly this parameter is set to the same value as
+ the <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html#CREATEMASK"><parameter>create mask
+ </parameter></ulink> parameter. To allow a user to modify all the
+ user/group/world permissions on a file, set this parameter
+ to 0777.</para>
+
+ <para>Next Samba checks the changed permissions for a file against
+ the bits set in the <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html#FORCESECURITYMODE">
+ <parameter>force security mode</parameter></ulink> parameter. Any bits
+ that were changed that correspond to bits set to '1' in this parameter
+ are forced to be set.</para>
+
+ <para>Essentially, bits set in the <parameter>force security mode
+ </parameter> parameter may be treated as a set of bits that, when
+ modifying security on a file, the user has always set to be 'on'.</para>
+
+ <para>If not set explicitly this parameter is set to the same value
+ as the <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html#FORCECREATEMODE"><parameter>force
+ create mode</parameter></ulink> parameter.
+ To allow a user to modify all the user/group/world permissions on a file
+ with no restrictions set this parameter to 000.</para>
+
+ <para>The <parameter>security mask</parameter> and <parameter>force
+ security mode</parameter> parameters are applied to the change
+ request in that order.</para>
+
+ <para>For a directory Samba will perform the same operations as
+ described above for a file except using the parameter <parameter>
+ directory security mask</parameter> instead of <parameter>security
+ mask</parameter>, and <parameter>force directory security mode
+ </parameter> parameter instead of <parameter>force security mode
+ </parameter>.</para>
+
+ <para>The <parameter>directory security mask</parameter> parameter
+ by default is set to the same value as the <parameter>directory mask
+ </parameter> parameter and the <parameter>force directory security
+ mode</parameter> parameter by default is set to the same value as
+ the <parameter>force directory mode</parameter> parameter. </para>
+
+ <para>In this way Samba enforces the permission restrictions that
+ an administrator can set on a Samba share, whilst still allowing users
+ to modify the permission bits within that restriction.</para>
+
+ <para>If you want to set up a share that allows users full control
+ in modifying the permission bits on their files and directories and
+ doesn't force any particular bits to be set 'on', then set the following
+ parameters in the &smb.conf; file in that share specific section :</para>
+
+ <para><parameter>security mask = 0777</parameter></para>
+ <para><parameter>force security mode = 0</parameter></para>
+ <para><parameter>directory security mask = 0777</parameter></para>
+ <para><parameter>force directory security mode = 0</parameter></para>
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Interaction with the standard Samba file attribute
+ mapping</title>
+
+ <para>Samba maps some of the DOS attribute bits (such as "read
+ only") into the UNIX permissions of a file. This means there can
+ be a conflict between the permission bits set via the security
+ dialog and the permission bits set by the file attribute mapping.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>One way this can show up is if a file has no UNIX read access
+ for the owner it will show up as "read only" in the standard
+ file attributes tabbed dialog. Unfortunately this dialog is
+ the same one that contains the security info in another tab.</para>
+
+ <para>What this can mean is that if the owner changes the permissions
+ to allow themselves read access using the security dialog, clicks
+ <command>"OK"</command> to get back to the standard attributes tab
+ dialog, and then clicks <command>"OK"</command> on that dialog, then
+ NT will set the file permissions back to read-only (as that is what
+ the attributes still say in the dialog). This means that after setting
+ permissions and clicking <command>"OK"</command> to get back to the
+ attributes dialog you should always hit <command>"Cancel"</command>
+ rather than <command>"OK"</command> to ensure that your changes
+ are not overridden.</para>

+<title>Samba / MS Windows Network Browsing Guide</title>
+
+<para>
+This document contains detailed information as well as a fast track guide to
+implementing browsing across subnets and / or across workgroups (or domains).
+WINS is the best tool for resolution of NetBIOS names to IP addesses. WINS is
+NOT involved in browse list handling except by way of name to address resolution.
+</para>
+
+<note><para>
+MS Windows 2000 and later can be configured to operate with NO NetBIOS
+over TCP/IP. Samba-3 and later also supports this mode of operation.
+When the use of NetBIOS over TCP/IP has been disabled then the primary
+means for resolution of MS Windows machine names is via DNS and Active Directory.
+The following information assumes that your site is running NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
+</para></note>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>What is Browsing?</title>
+
+<para>
+To most people browsing means that they can see the MS Windows and Samba servers
+in the Network Neighborhood, and when the computer icon for a particular server is
+clicked, it opens up and shows the shares and printers available on the target server.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+What seems so simple is in fact a very complex interaction of different technologies.
+The technologies (or methods) employed in making all of this work includes:
+</para>
+
+<simplelist>
+ <member>MS Windows machines register their presence to the network</member>
+ <member>Machines announce themselves to other machines on the network</member>
+ <member>One or more machine on the network collates the local announcements</member>

+ <member>The client machine is able to resolve the machine names to IP addresses</member>
+ <member>The client machine is able to connect to a target machine</member>
+</simplelist>
+
+<para>
+The samba application that controls/manages browse list management and name resolution is
+called <filename>nmbd</filename>. The configuration parameters involved in nmbd's operation are:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ Browsing options:

+ -----------------------

+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+WINS Server and WINS Support are mutually exclusive options. Those marked with an '*' are
+the only options that commonly MAY need to be modified. Even if not one of these parameters
+is set nmbd will still do it's job.
+</para>
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Discussion</title>
+
+<para>
+Firstly, all MS Windows networking is based on SMB (Server Message
+Block) based messaging. SMB messaging may be implemented using NetBIOS or
+without NetBIOS. Samba implements NetBIOS by encapsulating it over TCP/IP.
+MS Windows products can do likewise. NetBIOS based networking uses broadcast
+messaging to affect browse list management. When running NetBIOS over
+TCP/IP this uses UDP based messaging. UDP messages can be broadcast or unicast.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Normally, only unicast UDP messaging can be forwarded by routers. The
+<command>remote announce</command>
+parameter to smb.conf helps to project browse announcements
+to remote network segments via unicast UDP. Similarly, the
+<command>remote browse sync</command> parameter of <filename>smb.conf</filename>
+implements browse list collation using unicast UDP.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Secondly, in those networks where Samba is the only SMB server technology
+wherever possible <filename>nmbd</filename> should be configured on one (1) machine as the WINS
+server. This makes it easy to manage the browsing environment. If each network
+segment is configured with it's own Samba WINS server, then the only way to
+get cross segment browsing to work is by using the
+<command>remote announce</command> and the <command>remote browse sync</command>
+parameters to your <filename>smb.conf</filename> file.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If only one WINS server is used for an entire multi-segment network then
+the use of the <command>remote announce</command> and the
+<command>remote browse sync</command> parameters should NOT be necessary.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+As of Samba 3 WINS replication is being worked on. The bulk of the code has
+been committed, but it still needs maturation.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Right now samba WINS does not support MS-WINS replication. This means that
+when setting up Samba as a WINS server there must only be one <filename>nmbd</filename> configured
+as a WINS server on the network. Some sites have used multiple Samba WINS
+servers for redundancy (one server per subnet) and then used
+<command>remote browse sync</command> and <command>remote announce</command>
+to affect browse list collation across all
+segments. Note that this means clients will only resolve local names,
+and must be configured to use DNS to resolve names on other subnets in
+order to resolve the IP addresses of the servers they can see on other
+subnets. This setup is not recommended, but is mentioned as a practical
+consideration (ie: an 'if all else fails' scenario).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Lastly, take note that browse lists are a collection of unreliable broadcast
+messages that are repeated at intervals of not more than 15 minutes. This means
+that it will take time to establish a browse list and it can take up to 45
+minutes to stabilise, particularly across network segments.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>How Browsing Functions</title>
+
+<para>
+As stated above, MS Windows machines register their NetBIOS names
+(ie: the machine name for each service type in operation) on start
+up. Also, as stated above, the exact method by which this name registration
+takes place is determined by whether or not the MS Windows client/server
+has been given a WINS server address, whether or not LMHOSTS lookup
+is enabled, or if DNS for NetBIOS name resolution is enabled, etc.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In the case where there is no WINS server all name registrations as
+well as name lookups are done by UDP broadcast. This isolates name
+resolution to the local subnet, unless LMHOSTS is used to list all
+names and IP addresses. In such situations Samba provides a means by
+which the samba server name may be forcibly injected into the browse
+list of a remote MS Windows network (using the
+<command>remote announce</command> parameter).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Where a WINS server is used, the MS Windows client will use UDP
+unicast to register with the WINS server. Such packets can be routed
+and thus WINS allows name resolution to function across routed networks.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+During the startup process an election will take place to create a
+local master browser if one does not already exist. On each NetBIOS network
+one machine will be elected to function as the domain master browser. This
+domain browsing has nothing to do with MS security domain control.
+Instead, the domain master browser serves the role of contacting each local
+master browser (found by asking WINS or from LMHOSTS) and exchanging browse
+list contents. This way every master browser will eventually obtain a complete
+list of all machines that are on the network. Every 11-15 minutes an election
+is held to determine which machine will be the master browser. By the nature of
+the election criteria used, the machine with the highest uptime, or the
+most senior protocol version, or other criteria, will win the election
+as domain master browser.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Clients wishing to browse the network make use of this list, but also depend
+on the availability of correct name resolution to the respective IP
+address/addresses.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Any configuration that breaks name resolution and/or browsing intrinsics
+will annoy users because they will have to put up with protracted
+inability to use the network services.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Samba supports a feature that allows forced synchonisation
+of browse lists across routed networks using the <command>remote
+browse sync</command> parameter in the <filename>smb.conf</filename> file.
+This causes Samba to contact the local master browser on a remote network and
+to request browse list synchronisation. This effectively bridges
+two networks that are separated by routers. The two remote

+<title>Setting up WORKGROUP Browsing</title>
+
+<para>
+To set up cross subnet browsing on a network containing machines
+in up to be in a WORKGROUP, not an NT Domain you need to set up one
+Samba server to be the Domain Master Browser (note that this is *NOT*
+the same as a Primary Domain Controller, although in an NT Domain the
+same machine plays both roles). The role of a Domain master browser is
+to collate the browse lists from local master browsers on all the
+subnets that have a machine participating in the workgroup. Without
+one machine configured as a domain master browser each subnet would
+be an isolated workgroup, unable to see any machines on any other
+subnet. It is the presense of a domain master browser that makes
+cross subnet browsing possible for a workgroup.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In an WORKGROUP environment the domain master browser must be a
+Samba server, and there must only be one domain master browser per
+workgroup name. To set up a Samba server as a domain master browser,
+set the following option in the [global] section of the &smb.conf; file :
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<programlisting>
+ domain master = yes
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The domain master browser should also preferrably be the local master
+browser for its own subnet. In order to achieve this set the following
+options in the [global] section of the &smb.conf; file :

+
+<para>
+<programlisting>
+ domain master = yes
+ local master = yes
+ preferred master = yes

+</para>
+
+<para>
+The domain master browser may be the same machine as the WINS
+server, if you require.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Next, you should ensure that each of the subnets contains a
+machine that can act as a local master browser for the
+workgroup. Any MS Windows NT/2K/XP/2003 machine should be
+able to do this, as will Windows 9x machines (although these
+tend to get rebooted more often, so it's not such a good idea
+to use these). To make a Samba server a local master browser
+set the following options in the [global] section of the
+&smb.conf; file :
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<programlisting>
+ domain master = no
+ local master = yes
+ preferred master = yes
+ os level = 65

+Do not do this for more than one Samba server on each subnet,
+or they will war with each other over which is to be the local
+master browser.

+The <command>local master</command> parameter allows Samba to act as a

+<title>WINS - The Windows Internetworking Name Server</title>
+
+<para>
+Use of WINS (either Samba WINS _or_ MS Windows NT Server WINS) is highly
+recommended. Every NetBIOS machine registers it's name together with a
+name_type value for each of of several types of service it has available.
+eg: It registers it's name directly as a unique (the type 0x03) name.
+It also registers it's name if it is running the lanmanager compatible
+server service (used to make shares and printers available to other users)
+by registering the server (the type 0x20) name.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+All NetBIOS names are up to 15 characters in length. The name_type variable
+is added to the end of the name - thus creating a 16 character name. Any
+name that is shorter than 15 characters is padded with spaces to the 15th
+character. ie: All NetBIOS names are 16 characters long (including the
+name_type information).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+WINS can store these 16 character names as they get registered. A client
+that wants to log onto the network can ask the WINS server for a list
+of all names that have registered the NetLogon service name_type. This saves
+broadcast traffic and greatly expedites logon processing. Since broadcast
+name resolution can not be used across network segments this type of
+information can only be provided via WINS _or_ via statically configured
+<filename>lmhosts</filename> files that must reside on all clients in the
+absence of WINS.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+WINS also serves the purpose of forcing browse list synchronisation by all
+LMB's. LMB's must synchronise their browse list with the DMB (domain master
+browser) and WINS helps the LMB to identify it's DMB. By definition this
+will work only within a single workgroup. Note that the domain master browser
+has NOTHING to do with what is referred to as an MS Windows NT Domain. The
+later is a reference to a security environment while the DMB refers to the
+master controller for browse list information only.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Use of WINS will work correctly only if EVERY client TCP/IP protocol stack
+has been configured to use the WINS server/s. Any client that has not been
+configured to use the WINS server will continue to use only broadcast based
+name registration so that WINS may NEVER get to know about it. In any case,
+machines that have not registered with a WINS server will fail name to address
+lookup attempts by other clients and will therefore cause workstation access
+errors.

+
+<para>
+Every NetBIOS machine takes part in a process of electing the LMB (and DMB)
+every 15 minutes. A set of election criteria is used to determine the order

+
+<para>
+The election process is "fought out" so to speak over every NetBIOS network
+interface. In the case of a Windows 9x machine that has both TCP/IP and IPX
+installed and has NetBIOS enabled over both protocols the election will be
+decided over both protocols. As often happens, if the Windows 9x machine is
+the only one with both protocols then the LMB may be won on the NetBIOS
+interface over the IPX protocol. Samba will then lose the LMB role as Windows
+9x will insist it knows who the LMB is. Samba will then cease to function
+as an LMB and thus browse list operation on all TCP/IP only machines will
+fail.

+<title>Technical Overview of browsing</title>

+SMB networking provides a mechanism by which clients can access a list
+of machines in a network, a so-called <command>browse list</command>. This list
+contains machines that are ready to offer file and/or print services
+to other machines within the network. Thus it does not include
+machines which aren't currently able to do server tasks. The browse
+list is heavily used by all SMB clients. Configuration of SMB
+browsing has been problematic for some Samba users, hence this
+document.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+MS Windows 2000 and later, as with Samba 3 and later, can be
+configured to not use NetBIOS over TCP/IP. When configured this way
+it is imperative that name resolution (using DNS/LDAP/ADS) be correctly
+configured and operative. Browsing will NOT work if name resolution
+from SMB machine names to IP addresses does not function correctly.

+Where NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled use of a WINS server is highly

+Nmbd can be configured as a WINS server, but it is not
+necessary to specifically use samba as your WINS server. MS Windows
+NT4, Server or Advanced Server 2000 or 2003 can be configured as
+your WINS server. In a mixed NT/2000/2003 server and samba environment on
+a Wide Area Network, it is recommended that you use the Microsoft
+WINS server capabilities. In a samba-only environment, it is
+recommended that you use one and only one Samba server as your WINS server.

+<para>
+To get browsing to work you need to run nmbd as usual, but will need
+to use the <command>workgroup</command> option in &smb.conf;
+to control what workgroup Samba becomes a part of.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Samba also has a useful option for a Samba server to offer itself for
+browsing on another subnet. It is recommended that this option is only
+used for 'unusual' purposes: announcements over the internet, for
+example. See <command>remote announce</command> in the
+&smb.conf; man page.

+<title>Problem resolution</title>
+
+<para>
+If something doesn't work then hopefully the log.nmb file will help
+you track down the problem. Try a debug level of 2 or 3 for finding
+problems. Also note that the current browse list usually gets stored
+in text form in a file called <filename>browse.dat</filename>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Note that if it doesn't work for you, then you should still be able to
+type the server name as <filename>\\SERVER</filename> in filemanager then
+hit enter and filemanager should display the list of available shares.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Some people find browsing fails because they don't have the global
+<command>guest account</command> set to a valid account. Remember that the
+IPC$ connection that lists the shares is done as guest, and thus you must
+have a valid guest account.
+</para>
+
+<para><emphasis>
+MS Windows 2000 and upwards (as with Samba) can be configured to disallow
+anonymous (ie: Guest account) access to the IPC$ share. In that case, the
+MS Windows 2000/XP/2003 machine acting as an SMB/CIFS client will use the
+name of the currently logged in user to query the IPC$ share. MS Windows
+9X clients are not able to do this and thus will NOT be able to browse
+server resources.
+</emphasis></para>
+

+The other big problem people have is that their broadcast address,
+netmask or IP address is wrong (specified with the "interfaces" option

+<title>Browsing across subnets</title>
+<para>
+Since the release of Samba 1.9.17(alpha1) Samba has been
+updated to enable it to support the replication of browse lists
+across subnet boundaries. New code and options have been added to
+achieve this. This section describes how to set this feature up
+in different settings.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To see browse lists that span TCP/IP subnets (ie. networks separated
+by routers that don't pass broadcast traffic) you must set up at least
+one WINS server. The WINS server acts as a DNS for NetBIOS names, allowing
+NetBIOS name to IP address translation to be done by doing a direct
+query of the WINS server. This is done via a directed UDP packet on
+port 137 to the WINS server machine. The reason for a WINS server is
+that by default, all NetBIOS name to IP address translation is done
+by broadcasts from the querying machine. This means that machines
+on one subnet will not be able to resolve the names of machines on
+another subnet without using a WINS server.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Remember, for browsing across subnets to work correctly, all machines,
+be they Windows 95, Windows NT, or Samba servers must have the IP address
+of a WINS server given to them by a DHCP server, or by manual configuration
+(for Win95 and WinNT, this is in the TCP/IP Properties, under Network
+settings) for Samba this is in the &smb.conf; file.

+<title>How does cross subnet browsing work ?</title>
+
+<para>
+Cross subnet browsing is a complicated dance, containing multiple
+moving parts. It has taken Microsoft several years to get the code
+that achieves this correct, and Samba lags behind in some areas.
+Samba is capable of cross subnet browsing when configured correctly.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Consider a network set up as follows :
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<programlisting>
+ (DMB)
+ N1_A N1_B N1_C N1_D N1_E
+ | | | | |
+ -------------------------------------------------------
+ | subnet 1 |
+ +---+ +---+
+ |R1 | Router 1 Router 2 |R2 |
+ +---+ +---+

+ -------------------------- ------------------------------------
+ | | | | | | | |
+ N2_A N2_B N2_C N2_D N3_A N3_B N3_C N3_D
+ (WINS)
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Consisting of 3 subnets (1, 2, 3) connected by two routers
+(R1, R2) - these do not pass broadcasts. Subnet 1 has 5 machines
+on it, subnet 2 has 4 machines, subnet 3 has 4 machines. Assume
+for the moment that all these machines are configured to be in the
+same workgroup (for simplicities sake). Machine N1_C on subnet 1
+is configured as Domain Master Browser (ie. it will collate the
+browse lists for the workgroup). Machine N2_D is configured as
+WINS server and all the other machines are configured to register
+their NetBIOS names with it.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+As all these machines are booted up, elections for master browsers
+will take place on each of the three subnets. Assume that machine
+N1_C wins on subnet 1, N2_B wins on subnet 2, and N3_D wins on
+subnet 3 - these machines are known as local master browsers for
+their particular subnet. N1_C has an advantage in winning as the
+local master browser on subnet 1 as it is set up as Domain Master
+Browser.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+On each of the three networks, machines that are configured to
+offer sharing services will broadcast that they are offering
+these services. The local master browser on each subnet will
+receive these broadcasts and keep a record of the fact that
+the machine is offering a service. This list of records is
+the basis of the browse list. For this case, assume that
+all the machines are configured to offer services so all machines
+will be on the browse list.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+For each network, the local master browser on that network is
+considered 'authoritative' for all the names it receives via
+local broadcast. This is because a machine seen by the local
+master browser via a local broadcast must be on the same
+network as the local master browser and thus is a 'trusted'
+and 'verifiable' resource. Machines on other networks that
+the local master browsers learn about when collating their
+browse lists have not been directly seen - these records are
+called 'non-authoritative'.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+At this point the browse lists look as follows (these are
+the machines you would see in your network neighborhood if
+you looked in it on a particular network right now).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<programlisting>
+Subnet Browse Master List

+
+Subnet3 N3_D N3_A, N3_B, N3_C, N3_D
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Note that at this point all the subnets are separate, no
+machine is seen across any of the subnets.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Now examine subnet 2. As soon as N2_B has become the local
+master browser it looks for a Domain master browser to synchronize
+its browse list with. It does this by querying the WINS server
+(N2_D) for the IP address associated with the NetBIOS name
+WORKGROUP&lt;1B&gt;. This name was registerd by the Domain master
+browser (N1_C) with the WINS server as soon as it was booted.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Once N2_B knows the address of the Domain master browser it
+tells it that is the local master browser for subnet 2 by
+sending a MasterAnnouncement packet as a UDP port 138 packet.
+It then synchronizes with it by doing a NetServerEnum2 call. This
+tells the Domain Master Browser to send it all the server
+names it knows about. Once the domain master browser receives
+the MasterAnnouncement packet it schedules a synchronization
+request to the sender of that packet. After both synchronizations
+are done the browse lists look like :

+</para>
+
+<para>
+The same sequence of events that occured for N2_B now occurs
+for the local master browser on subnet 3 (N3_D). When it
+synchronizes browse lists with the domain master browser (N1_A)
+it gets both the server entries on subnet 1, and those on
+subnet 2. After N3_D has synchronized with N1_C and vica-versa
+the browse lists look like.

+Finally, the local master browser for subnet 2 (N2_B) will sync again

+
+ <para>First, create a share called [PRINTDRV] that is

+ that the .EA_ files must still be separate, so you will need
+ to use the original install files, and not copy an installed
+ driver from an OS/2 system.</para>
+
+ <para>Install the NT driver first for that printer. Then,
+ add to your smb.conf a parameter, os2 driver map =
+ <replaceable>filename</replaceable>". Then, in the file
+ specified by <replaceable>filename</replaceable>, map the
+ name of the NT driver name to the OS/2 driver name as
+ follows:</para>
+
+ <para><command>nt driver name = os2 "driver
+ name"."device name"</command>, e.g.:
+ HP LaserJet 5L = LASERJET.HP LaserJet 5L</para>
+
+ <para>You can have multiple drivers mapped in this file.</para>
+
+ <para>If you only specify the OS/2 driver name, and not the
+ device name, the first attempt to download the driver will
+ actually download the files, but the OS/2 client will tell
+ you the driver is not available. On the second attempt, it
+ will work. This is fixed simply by adding the device name
+ to the mapping, after which it will work on the first attempt.

+WfWg does a lousy job with passwords. I find that if I change my

+<title>Windows 2000 Service Pack 2</title>
+
+<para>
+There are several annoyances with Windows 2000 SP2. One of which
+only appears when using a Samba server to host user profiles
+to Windows 2000 SP2 clients in a Windows domain. This assumes

+In order to server profiles successfully to Windows 2000 SP2

+<title>PAM Configuration for Centrally Managed Authentication</title>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Samba and PAM</title>
+
+<para>
+A number of Unix systems (eg: Sun Solaris), as well as the
+xxxxBSD family and Linux, now utilize the Pluggable Authentication
+Modules (PAM) facility to provide all authentication,
+authorization and resource control services. Prior to the
+introduction of PAM, a decision to use an alternative to
+the system password database (<filename>/etc/passwd</filename>)
+would require the provision of alternatives for all programs that provide
+security services. Such a choice would involve provision of
+alternatives to such programs as: <command>login</command>,
+<command>passwd</command>, <command>chown</command>, etc.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+PAM provides a mechanism that disconnects these security programs
+from the underlying authentication/authorization infrastructure.
+PAM is configured either through one file <filename>/etc/pam.conf</filename> (Solaris),
+or by editing individual files that are located in <filename>/etc/pam.d</filename>.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+ <para>
+ If the PAM authentication module (loadable link library file) is located in the
+ default location then it is not necessary to specify the path. In the case of
+ Linux, the default location is <filename>/lib/security</filename>. If the module
+ is located outside the default then the path must be specified as:
+
+ <programlisting>
+ auth required /other_path/pam_strange_module.so
+ </programlisting>
+ </para>
+</note>
+
+<para>
+The following is an example <filename>/etc/pam.d/login</filename> configuration file.
+This example had all options been uncommented is probably not usable
+as it stacks many conditions before allowing successful completion
+of the login process. Essentially all conditions can be disabled
+by commenting them out except the calls to <filename>pam_pwdb.so</filename>.

+<title>Password Synchronisation using pam_smbpass.so</title>
+
+<para>
+pam_smbpass is a PAM module which can be used on conforming systems to
+keep the smbpasswd (Samba password) database in sync with the unix
+password file. PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is an API supported
+under some Unices, such as Solaris, HPUX and Linux, that provides a
+generic interface to authentication mechanisms.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+For more information on PAM, see http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This module authenticates a local smbpasswd user database. If you require
+support for authenticating against a remote SMB server, or if you're
+concerned about the presence of suid root binaries on your system, it is
+recommended that you use pam_winbind instead.
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+Options recognized by this module are as follows:
+
+ debug - log more debugging info
+ audit - like debug, but also logs unknown usernames
+ use_first_pass - don't prompt the user for passwords;
+ take them from PAM_ items instead
+ try_first_pass - try to get the password from a previous
+ PAM module, fall back to prompting the user
+ use_authtok - like try_first_pass, but *fail* if the new
+ PAM_AUTHTOK has not been previously set.
+ (intended for stacking password modules only)
+ not_set_pass - don't make passwords used by this module
+ available to other modules.
+ nodelay - don't insert ~1 second delays on authentication
+ failure.
+ nullok - null passwords are allowed.
+ nonull - null passwords are not allowed. Used to
+ override the Samba configuration.
+ migrate - only meaningful in an "auth" context;
+ used to update smbpasswd file with a
+ password used for successful authentication.
+ smbconf=&lt; file &gt; - specify an alternate path to the smb.conf
+ file.

+<para>
+Under MS Windows platforms, particularly those following the release of MS Windows
+NT4 and MS Windows 95) it is possible to create a type of file that would be placed
+in the NETLOGON share of a domain controller. As the client logs onto the network
+this file is read and the contents initiate changes to the registry of the client
+machine. This file allows changes to be made to those parts of the registry that
+affect users, groups of users, or machines.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+For MS Windows 9x/Me this file must be called <filename>Config.POL</filename> and may
+be generated using a tool called <filename>poledit.exe</filename>, better known as the
+Policy Editor. The policy editor was provided on the Windows 98 installation CD, but
+dissappeared again with the introduction of MS Windows Me (Millenium Edition). From
+comments from MS Windows network administrators it would appear that this tool became
+a part of the MS Windows Me Resource Kit.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+MS Windows NT4 Server products include the <emphasis>System Policy Editor</emphasis>
+under the <filename>Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools</filename> menu item.
+For MS Windows NT4 and later clients this file must be called <filename>NTConfig.POL</filename>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+New with the introduction of MS Windows 2000 was the Microsoft Management Console
+or MMC. This tool is the new wave in the ever changing landscape of Microsoft
+methods for management of network access and security. Every new Microsoft product
+or technology seems to obsolete the old rules and to introduce newer and more
+complex tools and methods. To Microsoft's credit though, the MMC does appear to
+be a step forward, but improved functionality comes at a great price.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Before embarking on the configuration of network and system policies it is highly
+advisable to read the documentation available from Microsoft's web site regarding
+<ulink url="http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/management/deployment/planguide/prof_policies.asp">
+Implementing Profiles and Policies in Windows NT 4.0 from http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/management/deployment/planguide/prof_policies.asp</ulink> available from Microsoft.
+There are a large number of documents in addition to this old one that should also
+be read and understood. Try searching on the Microsoft web site for "Group Policies".
+</para>
+
+<para>
+What follows is a very brief discussion with some helpful notes. The information provided
+here is incomplete - you are warned.
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Windows 9x/Me Policies</title>
+
+<para>
+You need the Win98 Group Policy Editor to set Group Profiles up under Windows 9x/Me.
+It can be found on the Original full product Win98 installation CD under
+<filename>tools/reskit/netadmin/poledit</filename>. Install this using the
+Add/Remove Programs facility and then click on the 'Have Disk' tab.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Use the Group Policy Editor to create a policy file that specifies the location of
+user profiles and/or the <filename>My Documents</filename> etc. stuff. Then
+save these settings in a file called <filename>Config.POL</filename> that needs to
+be placed in the root of the [NETLOGON] share. If Win98 is configured to log onto
+the Samba Domain, it will automatically read this file and update the Win9x/Me registry
+of the machine as it logs on.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Further details are covered in the Win98 Resource Kit documentation.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you do not take the right steps, then every so often Win9x/Me will check the
+integrity of the registry and will restore it's settings from the back-up
+copy of the registry it stores on each Win9x/Me machine. Hence, you will
+occasionally notice things changing back to the original settings.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Install the group policy handler for Win9x to pick up group policies. Look on the
+Win98 CD in <filename>\tools\reskit\netadmin\poledit</filename>.
+Install group policies on a Win9x client by double-clicking
+<filename>grouppol.inf</filename>. Log off and on again a couple of times and see
+if Win98 picks up group policies. Unfortunately this needs to be done on every
+Win9x/Me machine that uses group policies.

+<title>Windows NT4 Style Policy Files</title>
+
+<para>
+To create or edit <filename>ntconfig.pol</filename> you must use the NT Server
+Policy Editor, <command>poledit.exe</command> which is included with NT4 Server
+but <emphasis>not NT Workstation</emphasis>. There is a Policy Editor on a NT4
+Workstation but it is not suitable for creating <emphasis>Domain Policies</emphasis>.
+Further, although the Windows 95 Policy Editor can be installed on an NT4
+Workstation/Server, it will not work with NT clients. However, the files from
+the NT Server will run happily enough on an NT4 Workstation.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You need <filename>poledit.exe, common.adm</filename> and <filename>winnt.adm</filename>.
+It is convenient to put the two *.adm files in the <filename>c:\winnt\inf</filename>
+directory which is where the binary will look for them unless told otherwise. Note also that that
+directory is normally 'hidden'.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The Windows NT policy editor is also included with the Service Pack 3 (and
+later) for Windows NT 4.0. Extract the files using <command>servicepackname /x</command>,
+i.e. that's <command>Nt4sp6ai.exe /x</command> for service pack 6a. The policy editor,
+<command>poledit.exe</command> and the associated template files (*.adm) should
+be extracted as well. It is also possible to downloaded the policy template
+files for Office97 and get a copy of the policy editor. Another possible
+location is with the Zero Administration Kit available for download from Microsoft.

+<sect3>
+<title>Registry Tattoos</title>
+
+ <para>
+ With NT4 style registry based policy changes, a large number of settings are not
+ automatically reversed as the user logs off. Since the settings that were in the
+ NTConfig.POL file were applied to the client machine registry and that apply to the
+ hive key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE are permanent until explicitly reversed. This is known
+ as tattooing. It can have serious consequences down-stream and the administrator must
+ be extremely careful not to lock out the ability to manage the machine at a later date.

+<title>MS Windows 200x / XP Professional Policies</title>
+
+<para>
+Windows NT4 System policies allows setting of registry parameters specific to
+users, groups and computers (client workstations) that are members of the NT4
+style domain. Such policy file will work with MS Windows 2000 / XP clients also.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+New to MS Windows 2000 Microsoft introduced a new style of group policy that confers
+a superset of capabilities compared with NT4 style policies. Obviously, the tool used
+to create them is different, and the mechanism for implementing them is much changed.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The older NT4 style registry based policies are known as <emphasis>Administrative Templates</emphasis>
+in MS Windows 2000/XP Group Policy Objects (GPOs). The later includes ability to set various security
+configurations, enforce Internet Explorer browser settings, change and redirect aspects of the
+users' desktop (including: the location of <emphasis>My Documents</emphasis> files (directory), as
+well as intrinsics of where menu items will appear in the Start menu). An additional new
+feature is the ability to make available particular software Windows applications to particular
+users and/or groups.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Remember: NT4 policy files are named <filename>NTConfig.POL</filename> and are stored in the root
+of the NETLOGON share on the domain controllers. A Windows NT4 user enters a username, a password
+and selects the domain name to which the logon will attempt to take place. During the logon
+process the client machine reads the NTConfig.POL file from the NETLOGON share on the authenticating
+server, modifies the local registry values according to the settings in this file.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Windows 2K GPOs are very feature rich. They are NOT stored in the NETLOGON share, rather part of
+a Windows 200x policy file is stored in the Active Directory itself and the other part is stored
+in a shared (and replicated) volume called the SYSVOL folder. This folder is present on all Active
+Directory domain controllers. The part that is stored in the Active Directory itself is called the
+group policy container (GPC), and the part that is stored in the replicated share called SYSVOL is
+known as the group policy template (GPT).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+With NT4 clients the policy file is read and executed upon only as each user logs onto the network.
+MS Windows 200x policies are much more complex - GPOs are processed and applied at client machine
+startup (machine specific part) and when the user logs onto the network the user specific part
+is applied. In MS Windows 200x style policy management each machine and/or user may be subject
+to any number of concurently applicable (and applied) policy sets (GPOs). Active Directory allows
+the administrator to also set filters over the policy settings. No such equivalent capability
+exists with NT4 style policy files.

+All policy configuration options are controlled through the use of policy administrative

+Beware however, since the .adm files are NOT interchangible across NT4 and Windows 200x.
+The later introduces many new features as well as extended definition capabilities. It is
+well beyond the scope of this documentation to explain how to program .adm files, for that

+The MS Windows 2000 Resource Kit contains a tool called gpolmig.exe. This tool can be used

+<title>Managing Account/User Policies</title>
+
+<para>
+Policies can define a specific user's settings or the settings for a group of users. The resulting
+policy file contains the registry settings for all users, groups, and computers that will be using
+the policy file. Separate policy files for each user, group, or computer are not not necessary.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you create a policy that will be automatically downloaded from validating domain controllers,
+you should name the file NTconfig.POL. As system administrator, you have the option of renaming the
+policy file and, by modifying the Windows NT-based workstation, directing the computer to update
+the policy from a manual path. You can do this by either manually changing the registry or by using
+the System Policy Editor. This path can even be a local path such that each machine has its own policy file,
+but if a change is necessary to all machines, this change must be made individually to each workstation.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When a Windows NT4/200x/XP machine logs onto the network the NETLOGON share on the authenticating domain
+controller for the presence of the NTConfig.POL file. If one exists it is downloaded, parsed and then
+applied to the user's part of the registry.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+MS Windows 200x/XP clients that log onto an MS Windows Active Directory security domain may additionally,
+acquire policy settings through Group Policy Objects (GPOs) that are defined and stored in Active Directory
+itself. The key benefit of using AS GPOs is that they impose no registry <emphasis>tatooing</emphasis> effect.
+This has considerable advanage compared with the use of NTConfig.POL (NT4) style policy updates.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In addition to user access controls that may be imposed or applied via system and/or group policies
+in a manner that works in conjunction with user profiles, the user management environment under
+MS Windows NT4/200x/XP allows per domain as well as per user account restrictions to be applied.
+Common restrictions that are frequently used includes:
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<simplelist>
+ <member>Logon Hours</member>
+ <member>Password Aging</member>
+ <member>Permitted Logon from certain machines only</member>

+<title>With Windows NT4/200x</title>
+
+<para>
+The tools that may be used to configure these types of controls from the MS Windows environment are:
+The NT4 User Manager for domains, the NT4 System and Group Policy Editor, the registry editor (regedt32.exe).
+Under MS Windows 200x/XP this is done using the Microsoft Managment Console (MMC) with approapriate

+<title>HPUX</title>
+
+<para>
+HP's implementation of supplementary groups is, er, non-standard (for
+hysterical reasons). There are two group files, /etc/group and
+/etc/logingroup; the system maps UIDs to numbers using the former, but
+initgroups() reads the latter. Most system admins who know the ropes
+symlink /etc/group to /etc/logingroup (hard link doesn't work for reasons
+too stupid to go into here). initgroups() will complain if one of the
+groups you're in in /etc/logingroup has what it considers to be an invalid
+ID, which means outside the range [0..UID_MAX], where UID_MAX is (I think)
+60000 currently on HP-UX. This precludes -2 and 65534, the usual 'nobody'
+GIDs.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you encounter this problem, make sure that the programs that are failing
+to initgroups() be run as users not in any groups with GIDs outside the
+allowed range.
+</para>
+
+<para>This is documented in the HP manual pages under setgroups(2) and passwd(4).
+</para>

+On HPUX you must use gcc or the HP Ansi compiler. The free compiler

+<title>DNIX</title>
+
+<para>
+DNIX has a problem with seteuid() and setegid(). These routines are
+needed for Samba to work correctly, but they were left out of the DNIX
+C library for some reason.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+For this reason Samba by default defines the macro NO_EID in the DNIX
+section of includes.h. This works around the problem in a limited way,
+but it is far from ideal, some things still won't work right.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To fix the problem properly you need to assemble the following two
+functions and then either add them to your C library or link them into
+Samba.

+<title>Locking improvements</title>

+<para>Some people have been experiencing problems with F_SETLKW64/fcntl
+when running samba on solaris. The built in file locking mechanism was
+not scalable. Performance would degrade to the point where processes would
+get into loops of trying to lock a file. It woul try a lock, then fail,
+then try again. The lock attempt was failing before the grant was
+occurring. So the visible manifestation of this would be a handful of
+processes stealing all of the CPU, and when they were trussed they would
+be stuck if F_SETLKW64 loops.

+<title>Analysing and solving samba problems</title>
+
+<para>
+There are many sources of information available in the form
+of mailing lists, RFC's and documentation. The docs that come
+with the samba distribution contain very good explanations of
+general SMB topics such as browsing.</para>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Diagnostics tools</title>
+
+ <para>
+One of the best diagnostic tools for debugging problems is Samba itself.
+You can use the -d option for both smbd and nmbd to specify what
+'debug level' at which to run. See the man pages on smbd, nmbd and
+smb.conf for more information on debugging options. The debug
+level can range from 1 (the default) to 10 (100 for debugging passwords).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Another helpful method of debugging is to compile samba using the
+<command>gcc -g </command> flag. This will include debug
+information in the binaries and allow you to attach gdb to the
+running smbd / nmbd process. In order to attach gdb to an smbd
+process for an NT workstation, first get the workstation to make the
+connection. Pressing ctrl-alt-delete and going down to the domain box
+is sufficient (at least, on the first time you join the domain) to
+generate a 'LsaEnumTrustedDomains'. Thereafter, the workstation
+maintains an open connection, and therefore there will be an smbd
+process running (assuming that you haven't set a really short smbd
+idle timeout) So, in between pressing ctrl alt delete, and actually
+typing in your password, you can attach gdb and continue.

+For tracing things on the Microsoft Windows NT, Network Monitor
+(aka. netmon) is available on the Microsoft Developer Network CD's,
+the Windows NT Server install CD and the SMS CD's. The version of
+netmon that ships with SMS allows for dumping packets between any two
+computers (i.e. placing the network interface in promiscuous mode).
+The version on the NT Server install CD will only allow monitoring
+of network traffic directed to the local NT box and broadcasts on the
+local subnet. Be aware that Ethereal can read and write netmon
+formatted files.

+Windows NT / Netmon. You will need both the Microsoft Windows
+NT Server 4.0 Install CD and the Workstation 4.0 Install CD.

+<title>Roaming Profiles</title>
+
+<warning>
+<para>
+Roaming profiles support is different for Win9x / Me and Windows NT4/200x.
+</para>
+</warning>
+
+<para>
+Before discussing how to configure roaming profiles, it is useful to see how
+Windows 9x / Me and Windows NT4/200x clients implement these features.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Windows 9x / Me clients send a NetUserGetInfo request to the server to get the user's
+profiles location. However, the response does not have room for a separate
+profiles location field, only the user's home share. This means that Win9X/Me
+profiles are restricted to being stored in the user's home directory.
+</para>
+
+
+<para>
+Windows NT4/200x clients send a NetSAMLogon RPC request, which contains many fields,
+including a separate field for the location of the user's profiles.
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Samba Configuration for Profile Handling</title>
+
+<para>
+This section documents how to configure Samba for MS Windows client profile support.
+</para>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>NT4/200x User Profiles</title>
+
+<para>
+To support Windowns NT4/200x clients, in the [global] section of smb.conf set the
+following (for example):
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<programlisting>
+ logon path = \\profileserver\profileshare\profilepath\%U\moreprofilepath
+</programlisting>
+
+ This is typically implemented like:
+
+<programlisting>
+ logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%u
+</programlisting>
+where %L translates to the name of the Samba server and %u translates to the user name
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The default for this option is \\%N\%U\profile, namely \\sambaserver\username\profile.
+The \\N%\%U service is created automatically by the [homes] service. If you are using
+a samba server for the profiles, you _must_ make the share specified in the logon path
+browseable. Please refer to the man page for smb.conf in respect of the different
+symantics of %L and %N, as well as %U and %u.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+MS Windows NT/2K clients at times do not disconnect a connection to a server
+between logons. It is recommended to NOT use the <command>homes</command>
+meta-service name as part of the profile share path.
+</para>
+</note>
+</sect3>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Windows 9x / Me User Profiles</title>
+
+<para>
+To support Windows 9x / Me clients, you must use the "logon home" parameter. Samba has
+now been fixed so that <userinput>net use /home</userinput> now works as well, and it, too, relies
+on the <command>logon home</command> parameter.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+By using the logon home parameter, you are restricted to putting Win9x / Me
+profiles in the user's home directory. But wait! There is a trick you
+can use. If you set the following in the <command>[global]</command> section of your &smb.conf; file:
+</para>
+<para><programlisting>
+ logon home = \\%L\%U\.profiles
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+then your Windows 9x / Me clients will dutifully put their clients in a subdirectory
+of your home directory called <filename>.profiles</filename> (thus making them hidden).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Not only that, but <userinput>net use /home</userinput> will also work, because of a feature in
+Windows 9x / Me. It removes any directory stuff off the end of the home directory area
+and only uses the server and share portion. That is, it looks like you
+specified \\%L\%U for <command>logon home</command>.
+</para>
+</sect3>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Mixed Windows 9x / Me and Windows NT4/200x User Profiles</title>
+
+<para>
+You can support profiles for both Win9X and WinNT clients by setting both the
+<command>logon home</command> and <command>logon path</command> parameters. For example:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ logon home = \\%L\%u\.profiles
+ logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u
+</programlisting></para>

+<title>Disabling Roaming Profile Support</title>
+
+<para>
+A question often asked is "How may I enforce use of local profiles?" or
+"How do I disable Roaming Profiles?"
+</para>
+
+<para>
+There are three ways of doing this:
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <command>In smb.conf:</command> affect the following settings and ALL clients
+ will be forced to use a local profile:

+
+ <listitem><para>
+ <command>MS Windows Registry:</command> by using the Microsoft Management Console
+ gpedit.msc to instruct your MS Windows XP machine to use only a local profile. This
+ of course modifies registry settings. The full path to the option is:
+ <programlisting>
+ Local Computer Policy\
+ Computer Configuration\
+ Administrative Templates\
+ System\
+ User Profiles\
+
+ Disable: Only Allow Local User Profiles
+ Disable: Prevent Roaming Profile Change from Propogating to the Server
+ </programlisting>
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ <command>Change of Profile Type:</command> From the start menu right click on the
+ MY Computer icon, select <emphasis>Properties</emphasis>, click on the "<emphasis>User Profiles</emphasis>
+ tab, select the profile you wish to change from Roaming type to Local, click <emphasis>Change Type</emphasis>.
+ </para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+Consult the MS Windows registry guide for your particular MS Windows version for more
+information about which registry keys to change to enforce use of only local user
+profiles.
+</para>
+
+<note><para>
+The specifics of how to convert a local profile to a roaming profile, or a roaming profile
+to a local one vary according to the version of MS Windows you are running. Consult the
+Microsoft MS Windows Resource Kit for your version of Windows for specific information.

+<title>Windows 9x / Me Profile Setup</title>
+
+<para>
+When a user first logs in on Windows 9X, the file user.DAT is created,
+as are folders "Start Menu", "Desktop", "Programs" and "Nethood".
+These directories and their contents will be merged with the local
+versions stored in c:\windows\profiles\username on subsequent logins,
+taking the most recent from each. You will need to use the [global]
+options "preserve case = yes", "short preserve case = yes" and
+"case sensitive = no" in order to maintain capital letters in shortcuts
+in any of the profile folders.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The user.DAT file contains all the user's preferences. If you wish to
+enforce a set of preferences, rename their user.DAT file to user.MAN,
+and deny them write access to this file.
+</para>
+
+<orderedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ On the Windows 9x / Me machine, go to Control Panel -> Passwords and

+ roaming preferences. Press OK, but do _not_ allow the computer
+ to reboot.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ On the Windows 9x / Me machine, go to Control Panel -> Network ->
+ Client for Microsoft Networks -> Preferences. Select 'Log on to

+ Microsoft Networks'. Press OK, and this time allow the computer
+ to reboot.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+
+<para>
+Under Windows 9x / Me Profiles are downloaded from the Primary Logon.
+If you have the Primary Logon as 'Client for Novell Networks', then
+the profiles and logon script will be downloaded from your Novell
+Server. If you have the Primary Logon as 'Windows Logon', then the
+profiles will be loaded from the local machine - a bit against the
+concept of roaming profiles, it would seem!
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You will now find that the Microsoft Networks Login box contains
+[user, password, domain] instead of just [user, password]. Type in
+the samba server's domain name (or any other domain known to exist,
+but bear in mind that the user will be authenticated against this
+domain and profiles downloaded from it, if that domain logon server
+supports it), user name and user's password.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Once the user has been successfully validated, the Windows 9x / Me machine
+will inform you that 'The user has not logged on before' and asks you
+if you wish to save the user's preferences? Select 'yes'.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Once the Windows 9x / Me client comes up with the desktop, you should be able
+to examine the contents of the directory specified in the "logon path"
+on the samba server and verify that the "Desktop", "Start Menu",
+"Programs" and "Nethood" folders have been created.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+These folders will be cached locally on the client, and updated when
+the user logs off (if you haven't made them read-only by then).
+You will find that if the user creates further folders or short-cuts,
+that the client will merge the profile contents downloaded with the
+contents of the profile directory already on the local client, taking
+the newest folders and short-cuts from each set.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you have made the folders / files read-only on the samba server,
+then you will get errors from the Windows 9x / Me machine on logon and logout, as
+it attempts to merge the local and the remote profile. Basically, if
+you have any errors reported by the Windows 9x / Me machine, check the Unix file
+permissions and ownership rights on the profile directory contents,
+on the samba server.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you have problems creating user profiles, you can reset the user's
+local desktop cache, as shown below. When this user then next logs in,

+<title>Windows NT4 Workstation</title>
+
+<para>
+When a user first logs in to a Windows NT Workstation, the profile
+NTuser.DAT is created. The profile location can be now specified
+through the "logon path" parameter.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+There is a parameter that is now available for use with NT Profiles:
+"logon drive". This should be set to <filename>H:</filename> or any other drive, and
+should be used in conjunction with the new "logon home" parameter.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The entry for the NT4 profile is a _directory_ not a file. The NT
+help on profiles mentions that a directory is also created with a .PDS
+extension. The user, while logging in, must have write permission to
+create the full profile path (and the folder with the .PDS extension
+for those situations where it might be created.)
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In the profile directory, Windows NT4 creates more folders than Windows 9x / Me.
+It creates "Application Data" and others, as well as "Desktop", "Nethood",
+"Start Menu" and "Programs". The profile itself is stored in a file
+NTuser.DAT. Nothing appears to be stored in the .PDS directory, and
+its purpose is currently unknown.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You can use the System Control Panel to copy a local profile onto
+a samba server (see NT Help on profiles: it is also capable of firing
+up the correct location in the System Control Panel for you). The
+NT Help file also mentions that renaming NTuser.DAT to NTuser.MAN
+turns a profile into a mandatory one.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The case of the profile is significant. The file must be called
+NTuser.DAT or, for a mandatory profile, NTuser.MAN.

+<title>Sharing Profiles between W9x/Me and NT4/200x/XP workstations</title>
+
+<para>
+Sharing of desktop profiles between Windows versions is NOT recommended.
+Desktop profiles are an evolving phenomenon and profiles for later versions
+of MS Windows clients add features that may interfere with earlier versions
+of MS Windows clients. Probably the more salient reason to NOT mix profiles
+is that when logging off an earlier version of MS Windows the older format
+of profile contents may overwrite information that belongs to the newer
+version resulting in loss of profile information content when that user logs
+on again with the newer version of MS Windows.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you then want to share the same Start Menu / Desktop with W9x/Me, you will
+need to specify a common location for the profiles. The smb.conf parameters
+that need to be common are <emphasis>logon path</emphasis> and
+<emphasis>logon home</emphasis>.

+A Mandatory Profile is a profile that the user does NOT have the ability to overwrite.
+During the user's session it may be possible to change the desktop environment, but

+user any ability to change the desktop environment then this must be done through

+<title>Creating/Managing Group Profiles</title>
+
+<para>
+Most organisations are arranged into departments. There is a nice benenfit in
+this fact since usually most users in a department will require the same desktop
+applications and the same desktop layout. MS Windows NT4/200x/XP will allow the
+use of Group Profiles. A Group Profile is a profile that is created firstly using
+a template (example) user. Then using the profile migration tool (see above) the
+profile is assigned access rights for the user group that needs to be given access
+to the group profile.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The next step is rather important. PLEASE NOTE: Instead of assigning a group profile
+to users (ie: Using User Manager) on a "per user" basis, the group itself is assigned
+the now modified profile.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+ <para>
+ Be careful with group profiles, if the user who is a member of a group also
+ has a personal profile, then the result will be a fusion (merge) of the two.

+<title>Default Profile for Windows Users</title>
+
+<para>
+MS Windows 9x / Me and NT4/200x/XP will use a default profile for any user for whom
+a profile does not already exist. Armed with a knowledge of where the default profile
+is located on the Windows workstation, and knowing which registry keys affect the path
+from which the default profile is created, it is possible to modify the default profile
+to one that has been optimised for the site. This has significant administrative
+advantages.

+To enable default per user profiles in Windows 9x / Me, launch the System Policy Editor, then

+<title>How User Profiles Are Handled in Windows 9x / Me?</title>
+
+<para>
+When a user logs on to a Windows 9x / Me machine, the local profile path,
+<filename>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProfileList</filename>, is checked
+for an existing entry for that user:
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If the user has an entry in this registry location, Windows 9x / Me checks for a locally cached
+version of the user profile. Windows 9x / Me also checks the user's home directory (or other
+specified directory if the location has been modified) on the server for the User Profile.
+If a profile exists in both locations, the newer of the two is used. If the User Profile exists
+on the server, but does not exist on the local machine, the profile on the server is downloaded
+and used. If the User Profile only exists on the local machine, that copy is used.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If a User Profile is not found in either location, the Default User Profile from the Windows 9x / Me
+machine is used and is copied to a newly created folder for the logged on user. At log off, any
+changes that the user made are written to the user's local profile. If the user has a roaming
+profile, the changes are written to the user's profile on the server.

+On MS Windows NT4 the default user profile is obtained from the location

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The users' account information which is obtained during the logon process contains

+<title>MS Windows 200x/XP</title>
+
+ <note>
+ <para>
+ MS Windows XP Home Edition does use default per user profiles, but can not participate
+ in domain security, can not log onto an NT/ADS style domain, and thus can obtain the profile
+ only from itself. While there are benefits in doing this the beauty of those MS Windows
+ clients that CAN participate in domain logon processes allows the administrator to create
+ a global default profile and to enforce it through the use of Group Policy Objects (GPOs).
+ </para>
+ </note>
+
+<para>
+When a new user first logs onto MS Windows 200x/XP machine the default profile is obtained from
+<filename>C:\Documents and Settings\Default User</filename>. The administrator can modify (or change
+the contents of this location and MS Windows 200x/XP will gladly use it. This is far from the optimum
+arrangement since it will involve copying a new default profile to every MS Windows 200x/XP client
+workstation.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When MS Windows 200x/XP participate in a domain security context, and if the default user
+profile is not found, then the client will search for a default profile in the NETLOGON share
+of the authenticating server. ie: In MS Windows parlance:
+<filename>%LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\Default User</filename> and if one exits there it will copy this
+to the workstation to the <filename>C:\Documents and Settings\</filename> under the Windows
+login name of the user.
+</para>
+
+ <note>
+ <para>
+ This path translates, in Samba parlance, to the smb.conf [NETLOGON] share. The directory
+ should be created at the root of this share and must be called <filename>Default Profile</filename>.
+ </para>
+ </note>
+
+<para>
+If a default profile does not exist in this location then MS Windows 200x/XP will use the local
+default profile.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+On loging out, the users' desktop profile will be stored to the location specified in the registry
+settings that pertain to the user. If no specific policies have been created, or passed to the client
+during the login process (as Samba does automatically), then the user's profile will be written to
+the local machine only under the path <filename>C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%</filename>.

+Those wishing to modify the default behaviour can do so through three methods:

+ <para>
+ Modify the registry keys on the local machine manually and place the new default profile in the
+ NETLOGON share root - NOT recommended as it is maintenance intensive.

+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>

+<title>SWAT - The Samba Web Admininistration Tool</title>
+
+<para>
+There are many and varied opinions regarding the usefulness or otherwise of SWAT.
+No matter how hard one tries to produce the perfect configuration tool it remains
+an object of personal taste. SWAT is a tool that will allow web based configuration
+of samba. It has a wizard that may help to get samba configured quickly, it has context
+sensitive help on each smb.conf parameter, it provides for monitoring of current state
+of connection information, and it allows network wide MS Windows network password
+management.
+</para>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>SWAT Features and Benefits</title>
+
+<para>
+There are network administrators who believe that it is a good idea to write systems
+documentation inside configuration files, for them SWAT will aways be a nasty tool. SWAT
+does not store the configuration file in any intermediate form, rather, it stores only the
+parameter settings, so when SWAT writes the smb.conf file to disk it will write only
+those parameters that are at other than the default settings. The result is that all comments
+will be lost from the smb.conf file. Additionally, the parameters will be written back in
+internal ordering.
+</para>
+
+<note><para>
+So before using SWAT please be warned - SWAT will completely replace your smb.conf with
+a fully optimised file that has been stripped of all comments you might have placed there
+and only non-default settings will be written to the file.
+</para></note>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Enabling SWAT for use</title>
+
+<para>
+SWAT should be installed to run via the network super daemon. Depending on which system
+your Unix/Linux system has you will have either an <filename>inetd</filename> or
+<filename>xinetd</filename> based system.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The nature and location of the network super-daemon varies with the operating system
+implementation. The control file (or files) can be located in the file
+<filename>/etc/inetd.conf</filename> or in the directory <filename>/etc/[x]inet.d</filename>
+or similar.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The control entry for the older style file might be:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ # swat is the Samba Web Administration Tool
+ swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+A control file for the newer style xinetd could be:
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<programlisting>
+ # default: off
+ # description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \
+ # to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \
+ # connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser.
+ service swat
+ {
+ port = 901
+ socket_type = stream
+ wait = no
+ only_from = localhost
+ user = root
+ server = /usr/sbin/swat
+ log_on_failure += USERID
+ disable = yes
+ }
+</programlisting>
+
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Both the above examples assume that the <filename>swat</filename> binary has been
+located in the <filename>/usr/sbin</filename> directory. In addition to the above
+SWAT will use a directory access point from which it will load it's help files
+as well as other control information. The default location for this on most Linux
+systems is in the directory <filename>/usr/share/samba/swat</filename>. The default
+location using samba defaults will be <filename>/usr/local/samba/swat</filename>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Access to SWAT will prompt for a logon. If you log onto SWAT as any non-root user
+the only permission allowed is to view certain aspects of configuration as well as
+access to the password change facility. The buttons that will be exposed to the non-root
+user are: <emphasis>HOME, STATUS, VIEW, PASSWORD</emphasis>. The only page that allows
+change capability in this case is <emphasis>PASSWORD</emphasis>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+So long as you log onto SWAT as the user <command>root</command> you should obtain
+full change and commit ability. The buttons that will be exposed includes:
+<emphasis>HOME, GLOBALS, SHARES, PRINTERS, WIZARD, STATUS, VIEW, PASSWORD</emphasis>.

+SWAT can be configured to run in <emphasis>demo</emphasis> mode. This is NOT recommended
+as it runs SWAT without authentication and with full administrative ability. ie: Allows

+
+<para>
+The purpose if the SWAT Wizard is to help the Microsoft knowledgable network administrator
+to configure Samba with a minimum of effort.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The Wizard page provides a tool for rewiting the smb.conf file in fully optimised format.
+This will also happen if you press the commit button. The two differ in the the rewrite button
+ignores any changes that may have been made, while the Commit button causes all changes to be
+affected.

+<para>
+The <emphasis>Edit</emphasis> button permits the editing (setting) of the minimal set of
+options that may be necessary to create a working samba server.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Finally, there are a limited set of options that will determine what type of server samba
+will be configured for, whether it will be a WINS server, participate as a WINS client, or
+operate with no WINS support. By clicking on one button you can elect to epose (or not) user
+home directories.

+<title>The Status Page</title>
+
+<para>
+The status page serves a limited purpose. Firstly, it allows control of the samba daemons.
+The key daemons that create the samba server environment are: <command> smbd, nmbd, winbindd</command>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The daemons may be controlled individually or as a total group. Additionally, you may set
+an automatic screen refresh timing. As MS Windows clients interact with Samba new smbd processes
+will be continually spawned. The auto-refresh facility will allow you to track the changing
+conditions with minimal effort.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Lastly, the Status page may be used to terminate specific smbd client connections in order to
+free files that may be locked.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>The View Page</title>
+
+<para>
+This page allows the administrator to view the optimised smb.conf file and if you are
+particularly massochistic will permit you also to see all possible global configuration
+parameters and their settings.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>The Password Change Page</title>
+
+<para>
+The Password Change page is a popular tool. This tool allows the creation, deletion, deactivation
+and reactivation of MS Windows networking users on the local machine. Alternatively, you can use
+this tool to change a local password for a user account.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When logged in as a non-root account the user will have to provide the old password as well as
+the new password (twice). When logged in as <command>root</command> only the new password is
+required.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+One popular use for this tool is to change user passwords across a range of remote MS Windows
+servers.

+Samba Backup Domain Controller to Samba Domain Control
+</title>

+<title>Prerequisite Reading</title>
+
+<para>
+Before you continue reading in this chapter, please make sure
+that you are comfortable with configuring a Samba PDC
+as described in the <ulink url="Samba-PDC-HOWTO.html">Samba-PDC-HOWTO</ulink>.

+<sect1>

+<title>Background</title>
+
+<para>
+What is a Domain Controller? It is a machine that is able to answer
+logon requests from workstations in a Windows NT Domain. Whenever a
+user logs into a Windows NT Workstation, the workstation connects to a
+Domain Controller and asks him whether the username and password the
+user typed in is correct. The Domain Controller replies with a lot of
+information about the user, for example the place where the users
+profile is stored, the users full name of the user. All this
+information is stored in the NT user database, the so-called SAM.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+There are two kinds of Domain Controller in a NT 4 compatible Domain:
+A Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and one or more Backup Domain
+Controllers (BDC). The PDC contains the master copy of the
+SAM. Whenever the SAM has to change, for example when a user changes
+his password, this change has to be done on the PDC. A Backup Domain
+Controller is a machine that maintains a read-only copy of the
+SAM. This way it is able to reply to logon requests and authenticate
+users in case the PDC is not available. During this time no changes to
+the SAM are possible. Whenever changes to the SAM are done on the PDC,
+all BDC receive the changes from the PDC.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Since version 2.2 Samba officially supports domain logons for all
+current Windows Clients, including Windows 2000 and XP. This text
+assumes the domain to be named SAMBA. To be able to act as a PDC, some
+parameters in the [global]-section of the smb.conf have to be set:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ workgroup = SAMBA
+ domain master = yes
+ domain logons = yes
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+Several other things like a [homes] and a [netlogon] share also may be
+set along with settings for the profile path, the users home drive and
+others. This will not be covered in this document.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+
+<sect1>
+<title>What qualifies a Domain Controller on the network?</title>
+
+<para>
+Every machine that is a Domain Controller for the domain SAMBA has to
+register the NetBIOS group name SAMBA#1c with the WINS server and/or
+by broadcast on the local network. The PDC also registers the unique
+NetBIOS name SAMBA#1b with the WINS server. The name type #1b is
+normally reserved for the domain master browser, a role that has
+nothing to do with anything related to authentication, but the
+Microsoft Domain implementation requires the domain master browser to
+be on the same machine as the PDC.
+</para>
+
+
+<sect2>
+<title>How does a Workstation find its domain controller?</title>
+
+<para>
+A NT workstation in the domain SAMBA that wants a local user to be
+authenticated has to find the domain controller for SAMBA. It does
+this by doing a NetBIOS name query for the group name SAMBA#1c. It
+assumes that each of the machines it gets back from the queries is a
+domain controller and can answer logon requests. To not open security
+holes both the workstation and the selected (TODO: How is the DC
+chosen) domain controller authenticate each other. After that the
+workstation sends the user's credentials (his name and password) to
+the domain controller, asking for approval.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+
+<sect2>
+<title>When is the PDC needed?</title>
+
+<para>
+Whenever a user wants to change his password, this has to be done on
+the PDC. To find the PDC, the workstation does a NetBIOS name query
+for SAMBA#1b, assuming this machine maintains the master copy of the
+SAM. The workstation contacts the PDC, both mutually authenticate and
+the password change is done.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+</sect1>
+
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Can Samba be a Backup Domain Controller to an NT PDC?</title>
+
+<para>
+With version 2.2, no. The native NT SAM replication protocols have
+not yet been fully implemented. The Samba Team is working on
+understanding and implementing the protocols, but this work has not
+been finished for version 2.2.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+With version 3.0, the work on both the replication protocols and a
+suitable storage mechanism has progressed, and some form of NT4 BDC
+support is expected soon.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Can I get the benefits of a BDC with Samba? Yes. The main reason for
+implementing a BDC is availability. If the PDC is a Samba machine,
+a second Samba machine can be set up to
+service logon requests whenever the PDC is down.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+
+<sect1>
+<title>How do I set up a Samba BDC?</title>
+
+<para>
+Several things have to be done:
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+
+<listitem><para>
+The domain SID has to be the same on the PDC and the BDC. This used to
+be stored in the file private/MACHINE.SID. This file is not created
+anymore since Samba 2.2.5 or even earlier. Nowadays the domain SID is
+stored in the file private/secrets.tdb. Simply copying the secrets.tdb
+from the PDC to the BDC does not work, as the BDC would
+generate a new SID for itself and override the domain SID with this
+new BDC SID.</para>
+
+<para>
+To retrieve the domain SID from the PDC or an existing BDC and store it in the
+secrets.tdb, execute 'net rpc getsid' on the BDC.
+</para></listitem>
+
+<listitem><para>
+The Unix user database has to be synchronized from the PDC to the
+BDC. This means that both the /etc/passwd and /etc/group have to be
+replicated from the PDC to the BDC. This can be done manually
+whenever changes are made, or the PDC is set up as a NIS master
+server and the BDC as a NIS slave server. To set up the BDC as a
+mere NIS client would not be enough, as the BDC would not be able to
+access its user database in case of a PDC failure.
+</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem><para>
+The Samba password database in the file private/smbpasswd has to be
+replicated from the PDC to the BDC. This is a bit tricky, see the
+next section.
+</para></listitem>
+
+<listitem><para>
+Any netlogon share has to be replicated from the PDC to the
+BDC. This can be done manually whenever login scripts are changed,
+or it can be done automatically together with the smbpasswd
+synchronization.
+</para></listitem>
+
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+Finally, the BDC has to be found by the workstations. This can be done
+by setting
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ workgroup = samba
+ domain master = no
+ domain logons = yes
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+in the [global]-section of the smb.conf of the BDC. This makes the BDC
+only register the name SAMBA#1c with the WINS server. This is no
+problem as the name SAMBA#1c is a NetBIOS group name that is meant to
+be registered by more than one machine. The parameter 'domain master =
+no' forces the BDC not to register SAMBA#1b which as a unique NetBIOS
+name is reserved for the Primary Domain Controller.
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>How do I replicate the smbpasswd file?</title>
+
+<para>
+Replication of the smbpasswd file is sensitive. It has to be done
+whenever changes to the SAM are made. Every user's password change is
+done in the smbpasswd file and has to be replicated to the BDC. So
+replicating the smbpasswd file very often is necessary.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+As the smbpasswd file contains plain text password equivalents, it
+must not be sent unencrypted over the wire. The best way to set up
+smbpasswd replication from the PDC to the BDC is to use the utility
+rsync. rsync can use ssh as a transport. ssh itself can be set up to
+accept *only* rsync transfer without requiring the user to type a
+password.
+</para>
+
+
+</sect2>
+<sect2>
+<title>Can I do this all with LDAP?</title>
+<para>The simple answer is YES. Samba's pdb_ldap code supports
+binding to a replica LDAP server, and will also follow referrals and
+rebind to the master if it ever needs to make a modification to the
+database. (Normally BDCs are read only, so this will not occur
+often).
+</para>

+<title>Configuring the Samba Domain Controller</title>
+
+<para>
+The first step in creating a working Samba PDC is to
+understand the parameters necessary in smb.conf. Here we
+attempt to explain the parameters that are covered in
+the &smb.conf; man page.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Here is an example &smb.conf; for acting as a PDC:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>

+
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Creating Machine Trust Accounts and Joining Clients to the Domain</title>
+
+<para>
+A machine trust account is a Samba account that is used to
+authenticate a client machine (rather than a user) to the Samba
+server. In Windows terminology, this is known as a "Computer
+Account."</para>
+
+<para>
+The password of a machine trust account acts as the shared secret for
+secure communication with the Domain Controller. This is a security
+feature to prevent an unauthorized machine with the same NetBIOS name
+from joining the domain and gaining access to domain user/group
+accounts. Windows NT, 200x, XP Professional clients use machine trust
+accounts, but Windows 9x / Me / XP Home clients do not. Hence, a
+Windows 9x / Me / XP Home client is never a true member of a domain
+because it does not possess a machine trust account, and thus has no
+shared secret with the domain controller.
+</para>
+
+<para>A Windows PDC stores each machine trust account in the Windows
+Registry. A Samba-3 PDC also has to store machine trust account information
+in a suitable backend data store. With Samba-3 there can be multiple back-ends
+for this including:
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>smbpasswd</emphasis> - the plain ascii file stored used by
+ earlier versions of Samba. This file configuration option requires
+ a Unix/Linux system account for EVERY entry (ie: both for user and for
+ machine accounts). This file will be located in the <emphasis>private</emphasis>
+ directory (default is /usr/local/samba/lib/private or on linux /etc/samba).
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>smbpasswd_nua</emphasis> - This file is independant of the
+ system wide user accounts. The use of this back-end option requires
+ specification of the "non unix account range" option also. It is called
+ smbpasswd and will be located in the <filename>private</filename> directory.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>tdbsam</emphasis> - a binary database backend that will be
+ stored in the <emphasis>private</emphasis> directory in a file called
+ <emphasis>passwd.tdb</emphasis>. The key benefit of this binary format
+ file is that it can store binary objects that can not be accomodated
+ in the traditional plain text smbpasswd file.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>tdbsam_nua</emphasis> like the smbpasswd_nua option above, this
+ file allows the creation of arbitrary user and machine accounts without
+ requiring that account to be added to the system (/etc/passwd) file. It
+ too requires the specification of the "non unix account range" option
+ in the [globals] section of the &smb.conf; file.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>ldapsam</emphasis> - An LDAP based back-end. Permits the
+ LDAP server to be specified. eg: ldap://localhost or ldap://frodo.murphy.com
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>ldapsam_nua</emphasis> - LDAP based back-end with no unix
+ account requirement, like smbpasswd_nua and tdbsam_nua above.
+ </para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>Read the chapter about the <link linkend="passdb">User Database</link>
+for details.</para>
+
+<note><para>
+The new tdbsam and ldapsam account backends store vastly more information than
+smbpasswd is capable of. The new backend database includes capacity to specify
+per user settings for many parameters, over-riding global settings given in the
+<filename>smb.conf</filename> file. eg: logon drive, logon home, logon path, etc.
+</para></note>
+
+<para>
+A Samba PDC, however, stores each machine trust account in two parts,
+as follows:
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>A Samba account, stored in the same location as user
+ LanMan and NT password hashes (currently
+ <filename>smbpasswd</filename>). The Samba account
+ possesses and uses only the NT password hash.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>A corresponding Unix account, typically stored in
+ <filename>/etc/passwd</filename>. (Future releases will alleviate the need to
+ create <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> entries.) </para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+There are two ways to create machine trust accounts:
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para> Manual creation. Both the Samba and corresponding
+ Unix account are created by hand.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para> "On-the-fly" creation. The Samba machine trust
+ account is automatically created by Samba at the time the client
+ is joined to the domain. (For security, this is the
+ recommended method.) The corresponding Unix account may be
+ created automatically or manually. </para>
+ </listitem>
+
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Manual Creation of Machine Trust Accounts</title>
+
+<para>
+The first step in manually creating a machine trust account is to
+manually create the corresponding Unix account in
+<filename>/etc/passwd</filename>. This can be done using
+<command>vipw</command> or other 'add user' command that is normally
+used to create new Unix accounts. The following is an example for a
+Linux based Samba server:
+</para>
+
+<para>
+ <prompt>root# </prompt><command>/usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d /dev/null -c <replaceable>"machine
+nickname"</replaceable> -s /bin/false <replaceable>machine_name</replaceable>$ </command>
+</para>
+<para>
+<prompt>root# </prompt><command>passwd -l <replaceable>machine_name</replaceable>$</command>
+</para>
+
+<para>On *BSD systems, this can be done using the 'chpass' utility:</para>
+
+<para>
+<prompt>root# </prompt><command>chpass -a "<replaceable>machine_name</replaceable>$:*:101:100::0:0:Workstation <replaceable>machine_name</replaceable>:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin"</command>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> entry will list the machine name
+with a "$" appended, won't have a password, will have a null shell and no
+home directory. For example a machine named 'doppy' would have an
+<filename>/etc/passwd</filename> entry like this:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+doppy$:x:505:501:<replaceable>machine_nickname</replaceable>:/dev/null:/bin/false
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+Above, <replaceable>machine_nickname</replaceable> can be any
+descriptive name for the client, i.e., BasementComputer.
+<replaceable>machine_name</replaceable> absolutely must be the NetBIOS
+name of the client to be joined to the domain. The "$" must be
+appended to the NetBIOS name of the client or Samba will not recognize
+this as a machine trust account.
+</para>
+
+
+<para>
+Now that the corresponding Unix account has been created, the next step is to create
+the Samba account for the client containing the well-known initial
+machine trust account password. This can be done using the <ulink
+url="smbpasswd.8.html"><command>smbpasswd(8)</command></ulink> command
+as shown here:
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>smbpasswd -a -m <replaceable>machine_name</replaceable></userinput>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+where <replaceable>machine_name</replaceable> is the machine's NetBIOS
+name. The RID of the new machine account is generated from the UID of
+the corresponding Unix account.
+</para>
+
+<warning>
+ <title>Join the client to the domain immediately</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Manually creating a machine trust account using this method is the
+ equivalent of creating a machine trust account on a Windows NT PDC using
+ the "Server Manager". From the time at which the account is created
+ to the time which the client joins the domain and changes the password,
+ your domain is vulnerable to an intruder joining your domain using
+ a machine with the same NetBIOS name. A PDC inherently trusts
+ members of the domain and will serve out a large degree of user
+ information to such clients. You have been warned!
+ </para>
+</warning>
+</sect2>
+
+
+<sect2>
+<title>"On-the-Fly" Creation of Machine Trust Accounts</title>
+
+<para>
+The second (and recommended) way of creating machine trust accounts is
+simply to allow the Samba server to create them as needed when the client
+is joined to the domain. </para>
+
+<para>Since each Samba machine trust account requires a corresponding

+utility, make sure that the account name is the machine NetBIOS name

+<title>Domain Control for Windows 9x/ME</title>
+
+<para>
+A domain and a workgroup are exactly the same thing in terms of network
+browsing. The difference is that a distributable authentication
+database is associated with a domain, for secure login access to a
+network. Also, different access rights can be granted to users if they
+successfully authenticate against a domain logon server. Samba-3 does this
+now in the same way that MS Windows NT/2K.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The SMB client logging on to a domain has an expectation that every other
+server in the domain should accept the same authentication information.
+Network browsing functionality of domains and workgroups is identical and
+is explained in this documentation under the browsing discussions.
+It should be noted, that browsing is totally orthogonal to logon support.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Issues related to the single-logon network model are discussed in this
+section. Samba supports domain logons, network logon scripts, and user
+profiles for MS Windows for workgroups and MS Windows 9X/ME clients
+which are the focus of this section.
+</para>
+
+
+<para>
+When an SMB client in a domain wishes to logon it broadcast requests for a
+logon server. The first one to reply gets the job, and validates its
+password using whatever mechanism the Samba administrator has installed.
+It is possible (but very stupid) to create a domain where the user
+database is not shared between servers, i.e. they are effectively workgroup
+servers advertising themselves as participating in a domain. This
+demonstrates how authentication is quite different from but closely
+involved with domains.
+</para>
+
+
+<para>
+Using these features you can make your clients verify their logon via
+the Samba server; make clients run a batch file when they logon to
+the network and download their preferences, desktop and start menu.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Before launching into the configuration instructions, it is
+worthwhile to look at how a Windows 9x/ME client performs a logon:
+</para>
+
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem>
+ <para>
+ The client broadcasts (to the IP broadcast address of the subnet it is in)
+ a NetLogon request. This is sent to the NetBIOS name DOMAIN&lt;1c&gt; at the
+ NetBIOS layer. The client chooses the first response it receives, which
+ contains the NetBIOS name of the logon server to use in the format of
+ \\SERVER.
+ </para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+ <para>
+ The client then connects to that server, logs on (does an SMBsessetupX) and
+ then connects to the IPC$ share (using an SMBtconX).
+ </para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+ <para>
+ The client then does a NetWkstaUserLogon request, which retrieves the name
+ of the user's logon script.
+ </para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+ <para>
+ The client then connects to the NetLogon share and searches for this
+ and if it is found and can be read, is retrieved and executed by the client.
+ After this, the client disconnects from the NetLogon share.
+ </para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+ <para>
+ The client then sends a NetUserGetInfo request to the server, to retrieve
+ the user's home share, which is used to search for profiles. Since the
+ response to the NetUserGetInfo request does not contain much more then
+ the user's home share, profiles for Win9X clients MUST reside in the user
+ home directory.
+ </para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+ <para>
+ The client then connects to the user's home share and searches for the
+ user's profile. As it turns out, you can specify the user's home share as
+ a sharename and path. For example, \\server\fred\.profile.
+ If the profiles are found, they are implemented.
+ </para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+ <para>
+ The client then disconnects from the user's home share, and reconnects to
+ the NetLogon share and looks for CONFIG.POL, the policies file. If this is
+ found, it is read and implemented.
+ </para>
+</listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Configuration Instructions: Network Logons</title>
+
+<para>
+The main difference between a PDC and a Windows 9x logon
+server configuration is that
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+
+<listitem><para>
+Password encryption is not required for a Windows 9x logon server.

+
+<listitem><para>
+Windows 9x/ME clients do not possess machine trust accounts.
+</para></listitem>
+
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+Therefore, a Samba PDC will also act as a Windows 9x logon
+server.
+</para>
+
+
+<warning>
+<title>security mode and master browsers</title>
+
+<para>
+There are a few comments to make in order to tie up some
+loose ends. There has been much debate over the issue of whether
+or not it is ok to configure Samba as a Domain Controller in security
+modes other than <constant>USER</constant>. The only security mode
+which will not work due to technical reasons is <constant>SHARE</constant>
+mode security. <constant>DOMAIN</constant> and <constant>SERVER</constant>
+mode security is really just a variation on SMB user level security.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Actually, this issue is also closely tied to the debate on whether
+or not Samba must be the domain master browser for its workgroup
+when operating as a DC. While it may technically be possible
+to configure a server as such (after all, browsing and domain logons
+are two distinctly different functions), it is not a good idea to do
+so. You should remember that the DC must register the DOMAIN#1b NetBIOS
+name. This is the name used by Windows clients to locate the DC.
+Windows clients do not distinguish between the DC and the DMB.
+For this reason, it is very wise to configure the Samba DC as the DMB.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Now back to the issue of configuring a Samba DC to use a mode other
+than "security = user". If a Samba host is configured to use
+another SMB server or DC in order to validate user connection
+requests, then it is a fact that some other machine on the network
+(the "password server") knows more about the user than the Samba host.
+99% of the time, this other host is a domain controller. Now
+in order to operate in domain mode security, the "workgroup" parameter
+must be set to the name of the Windows NT domain (which already
+has a domain controller, right?)
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Therefore configuring a Samba box as a DC for a domain that
+already by definition has a PDC is asking for trouble.
+Therefore, you should always configure the Samba DC to be the DMB
+for its domain.
+</para>

+
+<para>A network administrator who is familiar with these terms and who
+wishes to migrate to or use Samba will want to know what these terms mean
+within a Samba context.</para>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Stand Alone Server</title>
+
+<para>
+The term <emphasis>stand alone server</emphasis> means that the server
+will provide local authentication and access control for all resources
+that are available from it. In general this means that there will be a
+local user database. In more technical terms, it means that resources
+on the machine will either be made available in either SHARE mode or in
+USER mode. SHARE mode and USER mode security are documented under
+discussions regarding "security mode". The smb.conf configuration parameters
+that control security mode are: "security = user" and "security = share".
+</para>
+
+<para>
+No special action is needed other than to create user accounts. Stand-alone
+servers do NOT provide network logon services, meaning that machines that
+use this server do NOT perform a domain logon but instead make use only of
+the MS Windows logon which is local to the MS Windows workstation/server.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Samba tends to blur the distinction a little in respect of what is
+a stand alone server. This is because the authentication database may be
+local or on a remote server, even if from the samba protocol perspective
+the samba server is NOT a member of a domain security context.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Through the use of PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) and nsswitch
+(the name service switcher) the source of authentication may reside on
+another server. We would be inclined to call this the authentication server.
+This means that the samba server may use the local Unix/Linux system
+password database (/etc/passwd or /etc/shadow), may use a local smbpasswd
+file (/etc/samba/smbpasswd or /usr/local/samba/lib/private/smbpasswd), or
+may use an LDAP back end, or even via PAM and Winbind another CIFS/SMB
+server for authentication.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Domain Member Server</title>
+
+<para>
+This mode of server operation involves the samba machine being made a member
+of a domain security context. This means by definition that all user authentication
+will be done from a centrally defined authentication regime. The authentication
+regime may come from an NT3/4 style (old domain technology) server, or it may be
+provided from an Active Directory server (ADS) running on MS Windows 2000 or later.
+</para>
+
+<para><emphasis>
+Of course it should be clear that the authentication back end itself could be from any
+distributed directory architecture server that is supported by Samba. This can be
+LDAP (from OpenLDAP), or Sun's iPlanet, of NetWare Directory Server, etc.
+</emphasis></para>
+
+<para>
+Please refer to the section on Howto configure Samba as a Primary Domain Controller
+and for more information regarding how to create a domain machine account for a
+domain member server as well as for information regarding how to enable the samba
+domain member machine to join the domain and to be fully trusted by it.

+<title>Domain Controller</title>
+
+<para>
+Over the years public perceptions of what Domain Control really is has taken on an
+almost mystical nature. Before we branch into a brief overview of what Domain Control
+is the following types of controller are known:
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Domain Controller Types</title>
+
+<simplelist>
+ <member>Primary Domain Controller</member>
+ <member>Backup Domain Controller</member>
+ <member>ADS Domain Controller</member>
+</simplelist>
+
+<para>
+The <emphasis>Primary Domain Controller</emphasis> or PDC plays an important role in the MS
+Windows NT3 and NT4 Domain Control architecture, but not in the manner that so many
+expect. The PDC seeds the Domain Control database (a part of the Windows registry) and
+it plays a key part in synchronisation of the domain authentication database.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+New to Samba-3.0.0 is the ability to use a back-end file that holds the same type of data as
+the NT4 style SAM (Security Account Manager) database (one of the registry files).
+The samba-3.0.0 SAM can be specified via the smb.conf file parameter "passwd backend" and
+valid options include <emphasis> smbpasswd tdbsam ldapsam nisplussam plugin unixsam</emphasis>.
+The smbpasswd, tdbsam and ldapsam options can have a "_nua" suffix to indicate that No Unix
+Accounts need to be created. In other words, the Samba SAM will be independant of Unix/Linux
+system accounts, provided a uid range is defined from which SAM accounts can be created.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The <emphasis>Backup Domain Controller</emphasis> or BDC plays a key role in servicing network
+authentication requests. The BDC is biased to answer logon requests so that on a network segment
+that has a BDC and a PDC the BDC will be most likely to service network logon requests. The PDC will
+answer network logon requests when the BDC is too busy (high load). A BDC can be promoted to
+a PDC. If the PDC is on line at the time that the BDC is promoted to PDC the previous PDC is
+automatically demoted to a BDC.

+<title>Samba performance issues</title>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Comparisons</title>
+
+<para>
+The Samba server uses TCP to talk to the client. Thus if you are
+trying to see if it performs well you should really compare it to
+programs that use the same protocol. The most readily available
+programs for file transfer that use TCP are ftp or another TCP based
+SMB server.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you want to test against something like a NT or WfWg server then
+you will have to disable all but TCP on either the client or
+server. Otherwise you may well be using a totally different protocol
+(such as Netbeui) and comparisons may not be valid.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Generally you should find that Samba performs similarly to ftp at raw
+transfer speed. It should perform quite a bit faster than NFS,
+although this very much depends on your system.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Several people have done comparisons between Samba and Novell, NFS or
+WinNT. In some cases Samba performed the best, in others the worst. I
+suspect the biggest factor is not Samba vs some other system but the
+hardware and drivers used on the various systems. Given similar
+hardware Samba should certainly be competitive in speed with other
+systems.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Socket options</title>
+
+<para>
+There are a number of socket options that can greatly affect the
+performance of a TCP based server like Samba.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The socket options that Samba uses are settable both on the command
+line with the -O option, or in the smb.conf file.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The <command>socket options</command> section of the &smb.conf; manual page describes how
+to set these and gives recommendations.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Getting the socket options right can make a big difference to your
+performance, but getting them wrong can degrade it by just as
+much. The correct settings are very dependent on your local network.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The socket option TCP_NODELAY is the one that seems to make the
+biggest single difference for most networks. Many people report that
+adding <command>socket options = TCP_NODELAY</command> doubles the read
+performance of a Samba drive. The best explanation I have seen for this is
+that the Microsoft TCP/IP stack is slow in sending tcp ACKs.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Read size</title>
+
+<para>
+The option <command>read size</command> affects the overlap of disk
+reads/writes with network reads/writes. If the amount of data being
+transferred in several of the SMB commands (currently SMBwrite, SMBwriteX and
+SMBreadbraw) is larger than this value then the server begins writing
+the data before it has received the whole packet from the network, or
+in the case of SMBreadbraw, it begins writing to the network before
+all the data has been read from disk.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This overlapping works best when the speeds of disk and network access
+are similar, having very little effect when the speed of one is much
+greater than the other.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The default value is 16384, but very little experimentation has been
+done yet to determine the optimal value, and it is likely that the best
+value will vary greatly between systems anyway. A value over 65536 is
+pointless and will cause you to allocate memory unnecessarily.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Max xmit</title>
+
+<para>
+At startup the client and server negotiate a <command>maximum transmit</command> size,
+which limits the size of nearly all SMB commands. You can set the
+maximum size that Samba will negotiate using the <command>max xmit = </command> option
+in &smb.conf;. Note that this is the maximum size of SMB requests that
+Samba will accept, but not the maximum size that the *client* will accept.
+The client maximum receive size is sent to Samba by the client and Samba
+honours this limit.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+It defaults to 65536 bytes (the maximum), but it is possible that some
+clients may perform better with a smaller transmit unit. Trying values
+of less than 2048 is likely to cause severe problems.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In most cases the default is the best option.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Log level</title>
+
+<para>
+If you set the log level (also known as <command>debug level</command>) higher than 2
+then you may suffer a large drop in performance. This is because the
+server flushes the log file after each operation, which can be very
+expensive.
+</para>
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Read raw</title>
+
+<para>
+The <command>read raw</command> operation is designed to be an optimised, low-latency
+file read operation. A server may choose to not support it,
+however. and Samba makes support for <command>read raw</command> optional, with it
+being enabled by default.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In some cases clients don't handle <command>read raw</command> very well and actually
+get lower performance using it than they get using the conventional
+read operations.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+So you might like to try <command>read raw = no</command> and see what happens on your
+network. It might lower, raise or not affect your performance. Only
+testing can really tell.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Write raw</title>
+
+<para>
+The <command>write raw</command> operation is designed to be an optimised, low-latency
+file write operation. A server may choose to not support it,
+however. and Samba makes support for <command>write raw</command> optional, with it
+being enabled by default.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Some machines may find <command>write raw</command> slower than normal write, in which
+case you may wish to change this option.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Slow Logins</title>
+
+<para>
+Slow logins are almost always due to the password checking time. Using
+the lowest practical <command>password level</command> will improve things.
+</para>

+
+<sect1>
+<title>Client tuning</title>
+
+<para>
+Often a speed problem can be traced to the client. The client (for
+example Windows for Workgroups) can often be tuned for better TCP
+performance. Check the sections on the various clients in

+<title>How to Install and Test SAMBA</title>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Obtaining and installing samba</title>
+
+ <para>Binary packages of samba are included in almost any Linux or
+ Unix distribution. There are also some packages available at
+ <ulink url="http://samba.org/">the samba homepage</ulink>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>If you need to compile samba from source, check the
+ <link linkend="compiling">appropriate appendix chapter</link>.</para>
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Configuring samba</title>
+
+ <para>Samba's configuration is stored in the smb.conf file,
+ that usually resides in <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename>
+ or <filename>/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf</filename>. You can either
+ edit this file yourself or do it using one of the many graphical
+ tools that are available, such as the web-based interface swat, that
+ is included with samba.</para>
+
+<sect2>
+ <title>Editing the <filename>smb.conf</filename> file</title>
+
+ <para>There are sample configuration files in the examples
+ subdirectory in the distribution. I suggest you read them
+ carefully so you can see how the options go together in
+ practice. See the man page for all the options.</para>
+
+ <para>The simplest useful configuration file would be
+ something like this:</para>
+
+ <para><programlisting>
+[global]
+ workgroup = MYGROUP
+
+[homes]
+ guest ok = no
+ read only = no
+ </programlisting></para>
+
+ <para>which would allow connections by anyone with an
+ account on the server, using either their login name or
+ "<command>homes</command>" as the service name. (Note that I also set the
+ workgroup that Samba is part of. See BROWSING.txt for details)</para>
+
+ <para>Make sure you put the <filename>smb.conf</filename> file in the same place
+ you specified in the<filename>Makefile</filename> (the default is to
+ look for it in <filename>/usr/local/samba/lib/</filename>).</para>
+
+ <para>For more information about security settings for the
+ <command>[homes]</command> share please refer to the chapter

+ <title>Test your config file with
+ <command>testparm</command></title>
+
+ <para>It's important that you test the validity of your
+ <filename>smb.conf</filename> file using the <application>testparm</application> program.
+ If testparm runs OK then it will list the loaded services. If
+ not it will give an error message.</para>
+
+ <para>Make sure it runs OK and that the services look

+<title>Stackable VFS modules</title>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Introduction and configuration</title>
+
+<para>
+Since samba 3.0, samba supports stackable VFS(Virtual File System) modules.
+Samba passes each request to access the unix file system thru the loaded VFS modules.
+This chapter covers all the modules that come with the samba source and references to
+some external modules.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You may have problems to compile these modules, as shared libraries are
+compiled and linked in different ways on different systems.
+They currently have been tested against GNU/linux and IRIX.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To use the VFS modules, create a share similar to the one below. The
+important parameter is the <command>vfs object</command> parameter which must point to
+the exact pathname of the shared library objects. For example, to log all access
+to files and use a recycle bin:
+
+<programlisting>
+ [audit]
+ comment = Audited /data directory
+ path = /data
+ vfs object = /path/to/audit.so /path/to/recycle.so
+ writeable = yes
+ browseable = yes
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The modules are used in the order they are specified.
+</para>

+loglevel for this module is set in the smb.conf file.
+</para>
+

+I have created a VFS module which implements a fairly complete read-only

+a modular and generic way to allow different databases to be used
+(originally designed for organizing MP3s under directories such as
+"Artists," "Song Keywords," etc... I have since applied it to a student

+database itself and the module makes no assumptions about the database
+structure beyond the table it requires to run.

+<title>File and Record Locking</title>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Discussion</title>
+
+<para>
+One area which sometimes causes trouble is locking.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+There are two types of locking which need to be performed by a SMB server.
+The first is <emphasis>record locking</emphasis> which allows a client to lock
+a range of bytes in a open file. The second is the <emphasis>deny modes</emphasis>
+that are specified when a file is open.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Record locking semantics under Unix is very different from record locking under
+Windows. Versions of Samba before 2.2 have tried to use the native fcntl() unix
+system call to implement proper record locking between different Samba clients.
+This can not be fully correct due to several reasons. The simplest is the fact
+that a Windows client is allowed to lock a byte range up to 2^32 or 2^64,
+depending on the client OS. The unix locking only supports byte ranges up to 2^31.
+So it is not possible to correctly satisfy a lock request above 2^31. There are
+many more differences, too many to be listed here.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Samba 2.2 and above implements record locking completely independent of the
+underlying unix system. If a byte range lock that the client requests happens
+to fall into the range 0-2^31, Samba hands this request down to the Unix system.
+All other locks can not be seen by unix anyway.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Strictly a SMB server should check for locks before every read and write call on
+a file. Unfortunately with the way fcntl() works this can be slow and may overstress
+the rpc.lockd. It is also almost always unnecessary as clients are supposed to
+independently make locking calls before reads and writes anyway if locking is
+important to them. By default Samba only makes locking calls when explicitly asked
+to by a client, but if you set <emphasis>strict locking = yes</emphasis> then it
+will make lock checking calls on every read and write.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You can also disable by range locking completely using <emphasis>locking = no</emphasis>.
+This is useful for those shares that don't support locking or don't need it
+(such as cdroms). In this case Samba fakes the return codes of locking calls to
+tell clients that everything is OK.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The second class of locking is the <emphasis>deny modes</emphasis>. These
+are set by an application when it opens a file to determine what types of
+access should be allowed simultaneously with its open. A client may ask for
+DENY_NONE, DENY_READ, DENY_WRITE or DENY_ALL. There are also special compatibility
+modes called DENY_FCB and DENY_DOS.
+</para>
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Samba Opportunistic Locking Control</title>
+
+<para>
+Opportunistic locking essentially means that the client is allowed to download and cache
+a file on their hard drive while making changes; if a second client wants to access the
+file, the first client receives a break and must synchronise the file back to the server.
+This can give significant performance gains in some cases; some programs insist on
+synchronising the contents of the entire file back to the server for a single change.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Level1 Oplocks (aka just plain "oplocks") is another term for opportunistic locking.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Level2 Oplocks provids opportunistic locking for a file that will be treated as
+<emphasis>read only</emphasis>. Typically this is used on files that are read-only or
+on files that the client has no initial intention to write to at time of opening the file.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Kernel Oplocks are essentially a method that allows the Linux kernel to co-exist with
+Samba's oplocked files, although this has provided better integration of MS Windows network
+file locking with the under lying OS, SGI IRIX and Linux are the only two OS's that are
+oplock aware at this time.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Unless your system supports kernel oplocks, you should disable oplocks if you are
+accessing the same files from both Unix/Linux and SMB clients. Regardless, oplocks should
+always be disabled if you are sharing a database file (e.g., Microsoft Access) between
+multiple clients, as any break the first client receives will affect synchronisation of
+the entire file (not just the single record), which will result in a noticable performance
+impairment and, more likely, problems accessing the database in the first place. Notably,
+Microsoft Outlook's personal folders (*.pst) react very badly to oplocks. If in doubt,
+disable oplocks and tune your system from that point.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If client-side caching is desirable and reliable on your network, you will benefit from
+turning on oplocks. If your network is slow and/or unreliable, or you are sharing your
+files among other file sharing mechanisms (e.g., NFS) or across a WAN, or multiple people
+will be accessing the same files frequently, you probably will not benefit from the overhead
+of your client sending oplock breaks and will instead want to disable oplocks for the share.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Another factor to consider is the perceived performance of file access. If oplocks provide no
+measurable speed benefit on your network, it might not be worth the hassle of dealing with them.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You can disable oplocks on a per-share basis with the following:
+
+<programlisting>
+ oplocks = False
+ level2 oplocks = False
+</programlisting>
+
+Alternately, you could disable oplocks on a per-file basis within the share:
+
+<programlisting>
+ veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.MDB/*.dbf/*.DBF/
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you are experiencing problems with oplocks as apparent from Samba's log entries,
+you may want to play it safe and disable oplocks and level2 oplocks.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>MS Windows Opportunistic Locking and Caching Controls</title>
+
+<para>
+There is a known issue when running applications (like Norton Anti-Virus) on a Windows 2000/ XP
+workstation computer that can affect any application attempting to access shared database files
+across a network. This is a result of a default setting configured in the Windows 2000/XP
+operating system known as <emphasis>Opportunistic Locking</emphasis>. When a workstation
+attempts to access shared data files located on another Windows 2000/XP computer,
+the Windows 2000/XP operating system will attempt to increase performance by locking the
+files and caching information locally. When this occurs, the application is unable to
+properly function, which results in an <emphasis>Access Denied</emphasis>
+ error message being displayed during network operations.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+All Windows operating systems in the NT family that act as database servers for data files
+(meaning that data files are stored there and accessed by other Windows PCs) may need to
+have opportunistic locking disabled in order to minimize the risk of data file corruption.
+This includes Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT, Windows 200x and Windows XP.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you are using a Windows NT family workstation in place of a server, you must also
+disable opportunistic locking (oplocks) on that workstation. For example, if you use a
+PC with the Windows NT Workstation operating system instead of Windows NT Server, and you
+have data files located on it that are accessed from other Windows PCs, you may need to
+disable oplocks on that system.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The major difference is the location in the Windows registry where the values for disabling
+oplocks are entered. Instead of the LanManServer location, the LanManWorkstation location
+may be used.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You can verify (or change or add, if necessary) this Registry value using the Windows
+Registry Editor. When you change this registry value, you will have to reboot the PC
+to ensure that the new setting goes into effect.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The location of the client registry entry for opportunistic locking has changed in
+Windows 2000 from the earlier location in Microsoft Windows NT.
+</para>
+
+<note><para>
+Windows 2000 will still respect the EnableOplocks registry value used to disable oplocks
+in earlier versions of Windows.
+</para></note>
+
+<para>
+You can also deny the granting of opportunistic locks by changing the following registry entries:
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<programlisting>
+ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MRXSmb\Parameters\
+
+ OplocksDisabled REG_DWORD 0 or 1
+ Default: 0 (not disabled)
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+
+<note><para>
+The OplocksDisabled registry value configures Windows clients to either request or not
+request opportunistic locks on a remote file. To disable oplocks, the value of
+ OplocksDisabled must be set to 1.
+</para></note>
+
+<para>
+<programlisting>
+ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
+
+ EnableOplocks REG_DWORD 0 or 1

+
+ EnableOpLockForceClose REG_DWORD 0 or 1
+ Default: 0 (Disabled by Default)
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+
+<note><para>
+The EnableOplocks value configures Windows-based servers (including Workstations sharing
+files) to allow or deny opportunistic locks on local files.
+</para></note>
+
+<para>
+To force closure of open oplocks on close or program exit EnableOpLockForceClose must be set to 1.

+We have credible reports from developers that faulty network hardware, such as a single
+faulty network card, can cause symptoms similar to read caching and data corruption.
+If you see persistent data corruption even after repeated reindexing, you may have to
+rebuild the data files in question. This involves creating a new data file with the

+<title>Hosting a Microsoft Distributed File System tree on Samba</title>
+
+<sect1>
+
+ <title>Instructions</title>
+
+ <para>The Distributed File System (or Dfs) provides a means of
+ separating the logical view of files and directories that users
+ see from the actual physical locations of these resources on the
+ network. It allows for higher availability, smoother storage expansion,
+ load balancing etc. For more information about Dfs, refer to <ulink
+ url="http://www.microsoft.com/NTServer/nts/downloads/winfeatures/NTSDistrFile/AdminGuide.asp">
+ Microsoft documentation</ulink>. </para>
+
+ <para>This document explains how to host a Dfs tree on a Unix
+ machine (for Dfs-aware clients to browse) using Samba.</para>
+
+ <para>To enable SMB-based DFS for Samba, configure it with the
+ <parameter>--with-msdfs</parameter> option. Once built, a
+ Samba server can be made a Dfs server by setting the global
+ boolean <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html#HOSTMSDFS"><parameter>
+ host msdfs</parameter></ulink> parameter in the <filename>smb.conf
+ </filename> file. You designate a share as a Dfs root using the share
+ level boolean <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html#MSDFSROOT"><parameter>
+ msdfs root</parameter></ulink> parameter. A Dfs root directory on
+ Samba hosts Dfs links in the form of symbolic links that point
+ to other servers. For example, a symbolic link
+ <filename>junction-&gt;msdfs:storage1\share1</filename> in
+ the share directory acts as the Dfs junction. When Dfs-aware
+ clients attempt to access the junction link, they are redirected
+ to the storage location (in this case, \\storage1\share1).</para>
+
+ <para>Dfs trees on Samba work with all Dfs-aware clients ranging
+ from Windows 95 to 2000.</para>
+
+ <para>Here's an example of setting up a Dfs tree on a Samba
+ server.</para>
+
+ <para><programlisting>
+# The smb.conf file:
+[global]
+ netbios name = SAMBA
+ host msdfs = yes
+
+[dfs]
+ path = /export/dfsroot
+ msdfs root = yes
+ </programlisting></para>
+
+
+ <para>In the /export/dfsroot directory we set up our dfs links to
+ other servers on the network.</para>
+
+ <para><prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>cd /export/dfsroot</userinput></para>
+ <para><prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>chown root /export/dfsroot</userinput></para>
+ <para><prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>chmod 755 /export/dfsroot</userinput></para>
+ <para><prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>ln -s msdfs:storageA\\shareA linka</userinput></para>
+ <para><prompt>root# </prompt><userinput>ln -s msdfs:serverB\\share,serverC\\share linkb</userinput></para>
+
+
+ <para>You should set up the permissions and ownership of
+ the directory acting as the Dfs root such that only designated
+ users can create, delete or modify the msdfs links. Also note
+ that symlink names should be all lowercase. This limitation exists
+ to have Samba avoid trying all the case combinations to get at
+ the link name. Finally set up the symbolic links to point to the
+ network shares you want, and start Samba.</para>
+
+ <para>Users on Dfs-aware clients can now browse the Dfs tree
+ on the Samba server at \\samba\dfs. Accessing
+ links linka or linkb (which appear as directories to the client)
+ takes users directly to the appropriate shares on the network.</para>

+ <para>Old windows clients send plain text passwords over the wire.
+ Samba can check these passwords by crypting them and comparing them
+ to the hash stored in the unix user database.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Newer windows clients send encrypted passwords (so-called
+ Lanman and NT hashes) over
+ the wire, instead of plain text passwords. The newest clients
+ will only send encrypted passwords and refuse to send plain text
+ passwords, unless their registry is tweaked.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>These passwords can't be converted to unix style encrypted
+ passwords. Because of that you can't use the standard unix
+ user database, and you have to store the Lanman and NT hashes
+ somewhere else. </para>
+
+ <para>Next to a differently encrypted passwords,
+ windows also stores certain data for each user
+ that is not stored in a unix user database, e.g.
+ workstations the user may logon from, the location where his/her
+ profile is stored, etc.
+ Samba retrieves and stores this information using a "passdb backend".
+ Commonly
+ available backends are LDAP, plain text file, MySQL and nisplus.

+ <title>Important Notes About Security</title>
+
+ <para>The unix and SMB password encryption techniques seem similar
+ on the surface. This similarity is, however, only skin deep. The unix
+ scheme typically sends clear text passwords over the network when
+ logging in. This is bad. The SMB encryption scheme never sends the
+ cleartext password over the network but it does store the 16 byte
+ hashed values on disk. This is also bad. Why? Because the 16 byte hashed
+ values are a "password equivalent". You cannot derive the user's
+ password from them, but they could potentially be used in a modified
+ client to gain access to a server. This would require considerable
+ technical knowledge on behalf of the attacker but is perfectly possible.
+ You should thus treat the data stored in whatever
+ passdb backend you use (smbpasswd file, ldap, mysql) as though it contained the
+ cleartext passwords of all your users. Its contents must be kept
+ secret, and the file should be protected accordingly.</para>
+
+ <para>Ideally we would like a password scheme which neither requires
+ plain text passwords on the net or on disk. Unfortunately this
+ is not available as Samba is stuck with being compatible with
+ other SMB systems (WinNT, WfWg, Win95 etc). </para>
+
+ <warning>
+ <para>Note that Windows NT 4.0 Service pack 3 changed the
+ default for permissible authentication so that plaintext
+ passwords are <emphasis>never</emphasis> sent over the wire.
+ The solution to this is either to switch to encrypted passwords
+ with Samba or edit the Windows NT registry to re-enable plaintext
+ passwords. See the document WinNT.txt for details on how to do
+ this.</para>
+
+ <para>Other Microsoft operating systems which also exhibit
+ this behavior includes</para>

+
+ <para>MS Windows clients will cache the encrypted password alone.
+ Even when plain text passwords are re-enabled, through the appropriate

+<title>Encrypted Password Database</title>
+
+<para>
+Traditionally, when configuring <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html#ENCRYPTPASSWORDS">"encrypt
+passwords = yes"</ulink> in Samba's <filename>smb.conf</filename> file, user account
+information such as username, LM/NT password hashes, password change times, and account
+flags have been stored in the <filename>smbpasswd(5)</filename> file. There are several
+disadvantages to this approach for sites with very large numbers of users (counted
+in the thousands).
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>
+The first is that all lookups must be performed sequentially. Given that
+there are approximately two lookups per domain logon (one for a normal
+session connection such as when mapping a network drive or printer), this
+is a performance bottleneck for large sites. What is needed is an indexed approach
+such as is used in databases.
+</para></listitem>
+
+<listitem><para>
+The second problem is that administrators who desired to replicate a
+smbpasswd file to more than one Samba server were left to use external
+tools such as <command>rsync(1)</command> and <command>ssh(1)</command>
+and wrote custom, in-house scripts.
+</para></listitem>
+
+<listitem><para>
+And finally, the amount of information which is stored in an
+smbpasswd entry leaves no room for additional attributes such as
+a home directory, password expiration time, or even a Relative
+Identified (RID).
+</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+As a result of these defeciencies, a more robust means of storing user attributes
+used by smbd was developed. The API which defines access to user accounts
+is commonly referred to as the samdb interface (previously this was called the passdb
+API, and is still so named in the CVS trees).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+There are a few points to stress about that the ldapsam
+does not provide. The LDAP support referred to in the this documentation does not

+
+<para>
+Just as the smbpasswd file is meant to store information which supplements a
+user's <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> entry, so is the sambaAccount object
+meant to supplement the UNIX user account information. A sambaAccount is a
+<constant>STRUCTURAL</constant> objectclass so it can be stored individually
+in the directory. However, there are several fields (e.g. uid) which overlap
+with the posixAccount objectclass outlined in RFC2307. This is by design.
+</para>
+
+<!--olem: we should perhaps have a note about shadowAccounts too as many
+systems use them, isn'it ? -->
+
+<para>
+In order to store all user account information (UNIX and Samba) in the directory,
+it is necessary to use the sambaAccount and posixAccount objectclasses in
+combination. However, smbd will still obtain the user's UNIX account
+information via the standard C library calls (e.g. getpwnam(), et. al.).
+This means that the Samba server must also have the LDAP NSS library installed
+and functioning correctly. This division of information makes it possible to
+store all Samba account information in LDAP, but still maintain UNIX account
+information in NIS while the network is transitioning to a full LDAP infrastructure.

+</para>
+
+<para>
+Machines accounts are managed with the sambaAccount objectclass, just
+like users accounts. However, it's up to you to store thoses accounts
+in a different tree of you LDAP namespace: you should use
+"ou=Groups,dc=plainjoe,dc=org" to store groups and
+"ou=People,dc=plainjoe,dc=org" to store users. Just configure your
+NSS and PAM accordingly (usually, in the /etc/ldap.conf configuration
+file).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In Samba release 3.0, the group management system is based on posix
+groups. This means that Samba makes usage of the posixGroup objectclass.

+<title>Security and sambaAccount</title>
+
+
+<para>
+There are two important points to remember when discussing the security
+of sambaAccount entries in the directory.
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Never</emphasis> retrieve the lmPassword or
+ ntPassword attribute values over an unencrypted LDAP session.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Never</emphasis> allow non-admin users to
+ view the lmPassword or ntPassword attribute values.</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+These password hashes are clear text equivalents and can be used to impersonate
+the user without deriving the original clear text strings. For more information
+on the details of LM/NT password hashes, refer to the <link
+linkend="passdb">User Database</link> of the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To remedy the first security issue, the "ldap ssl" smb.conf parameter defaults
+to require an encrypted session (<command>ldap ssl = on</command>) using
+the default port of 636
+when contacting the directory server. When using an OpenLDAP 2.0 server, it
+is possible to use the use the StartTLS LDAP extended operation in the place of
+LDAPS. In either case, you are strongly discouraged to disable this security
+(<command>ldap ssl = off</command>).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Note that the LDAPS protocol is deprecated in favor of the LDAPv3 StartTLS
+extended operation. However, the OpenLDAP library still provides support for
+the older method of securing communication between clients and servers.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The second security precaution is to prevent non-administrative users from
+harvesting password hashes from the directory. This can be done using the
+following ACL in <filename>slapd.conf</filename>:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>

+
+ <listitem><para><constant>smbHome</constant>: The homeDirectory property specifies the path of

+The majority of these parameters are only used when Samba is acting as a PDC of
+a domain (refer to the <ulink url="Samba-PDC-HOWTO.html">Samba-PDC-HOWTO</ulink> for details on
+how to configure Samba as a Primary Domain Controller). The following four attributes
+are only stored with the sambaAccount entry if the values are non-default values:

+ <listitem><para>logonPath</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>homeDrive</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+These attributes are only stored with the sambaAccount entry if
+the values are non-default values. For example, assume TASHTEGO has now been
+configured as a PDC and that <command>logon home = \\%L\%u</command> was defined in
+its <filename>smb.conf</filename> file. When a user named "becky" logons to the domain,
+the <parameter>logon home</parameter> string is expanded to \\TASHTEGO\becky.
+If the smbHome attribute exists in the entry "uid=becky,ou=people,dc=samba,dc=org",
+this value is used. However, if this attribute does not exist, then the value
+of the <parameter>logon home</parameter> parameter is used in its place. Samba
+will only write the attribute value to the directory entry if the value is
+something other than the default (e.g. \\MOBY\becky).

+There has been some initial confusion about what all this means
+and whether or not it is a requirement for printer drivers to be
+installed on a Samba host in order to support printing from Windows
+clients. As a side note, Samba does not use these drivers in any way to process
+spooled files. They are utilized entirely by the clients.

+<warning>
+<title>[print$] vs. [printer$]</title>
+
+<para>
+Previous versions of Samba recommended using a share named [printer$].
+This name was taken from the printer$ service created by Windows 9x
+clients when a printer was shared. Windows 9x printer servers always have
+a printer$ service which provides read-only access via no
+password in order to support printer driver downloads.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+However, the initial implementation allowed for a
+parameter named <parameter>printer driver location</parameter>
+to be used on a per share basis to specify the location of
+the driver files associated with that printer. Another
+parameter named <parameter>printer driver</parameter> provided
+a means of defining the printer driver name to be sent to
+the client.
+</para>
+
+</warning>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Creating [print$]</title>
+
+<para>
+In order to support the uploading of printer driver
+files, you must first configure a file share named [print$].
+The name of this share is hard coded in Samba's internals so
+the name is very important (print$ is the service used by
+Windows NT print servers to provide support for printer driver
+download).
+</para>
+
+<para>You should modify the server's smb.conf file to add the global
+parameters and to create the
+following file share (of course, some of the parameter values,
+such as 'path' are arbitrary and should be replaced with
+appropriate values for your site):</para>

+ guest ok = yes

+ ; since this share is configured as read only, then we need

+The non-issue is that if all your Windows NT users are guaranteed to be

+is not necessary. Of course, in a workgroup environment where

+<filename>smb.conf</filename>.</para>
+
+<para>Another interesting side note is that Windows NT clients do
+not use the SMB printer share, but rather can print directly
+to any printer on another Windows NT host using MS-RPC. This
+of course assumes that the printing client has the necessary
+privileges on the remote host serving the printer. The default
+permissions assigned by Windows NT to a printer gives the "Print"
+permissions to the "Everyone" well-known group.

+<title>Samba and Printer Ports</title>
+
+<para>
+Windows NT/2000 print servers associate a port with each printer. These normally
+take the form of LPT1:, COM1:, FILE:, etc... Samba must also support the
+concept of ports associated with a printer. By default, only one printer port,
+named "Samba Printer Port", exists on a system. Samba does not really a port in
+order to print, rather it is a requirement of Windows clients.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Note that Samba does not support the concept of "Printer Pooling" internally
+either. This is when a logical printer is assigned to multiple ports as
+a form of load balancing or fail over.

+
+ <para>One of the problems encountered when implementing

+ and Windows 95 calls its version of this driver "Apple
+ LaserWriter II NTX"</para>
+
+ <para>The problem is how to know what client drivers have
+ been uploaded for a printer. As astute reader will remember
+ that the Windows NT Printer Properties dialog only includes
+ space for one printer driver name. A quick look in the
+ Windows NT 4.0 system registry at</para>
+
+ <para><filename>HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environment
+ </filename></para>
+
+ <para>will reveal that Windows NT always uses the NT driver
+ name. This is ok as Windows NT always requires that at least
+ the Windows NT version of the printer driver is present.
+ However, Samba does not have the requirement internally.
+ Therefore, how can you use the NT driver name if is has not
+ already been installed?</para>
+
+ <para>The way of sidestepping this limitation is to require
+ that all Imprints printer driver packages include both the Intel
+ Windows NT and 95/98 printer drivers and that NT driver is
+ installed first.</para>

+ /*
+ * If the openprinterex rpc call contains a devmode,
+ * it's a per-user one. This per-user devmode is derivated
+ * from the global devmode. Openprinterex() contains a per-user
+ * devmode for when you do EMF printing and spooling.
+ * In the EMF case, the NT workstation is only doing half the job
+ * of rendering the page. The other half is done by running the printer
+ * driver on the server.
+ * The EMF file doesn't contain the page description (paper size, orientation, ...).
+ * The EMF file only contains what is to be printed on the page.
+ * So in order for the server to know how to print, the NT client sends
+ * a devicemode attached to the openprinterex call.
+ * But this devicemode is short lived, it's only valid for the current print job.
+ *
+ * If Samba would have supported EMF spooling, this devicemode would
+ * have been attached to the handle, to sent it to the driver to correctly
+ * rasterize the EMF file.
+ *
+ * As Samba only supports RAW spooling, we only receive a ready-to-print file,
+ * we just act as a pass-thru between windows and the printer.
+ *
+ * In order to know that Samba supports only RAW spooling, NT has to call
+ * getprinter() at level 2 (attribute field) or NT has to call startdoc()
+ * and until NT sends a RAW job, we refuse it.
+ *
+ * But to call getprinter() or startdoc(), you first need a valid handle,
+ * and to get an handle you have to call openprintex(). Hence why you have
+ * a devicemode in the openprinterex() call.
+ *
+ *
+ * Differences between NT4 and NT 2000.
+ * NT4:
+ *
+ * On NT4, you only have a global devicemode. This global devicemode can be changed
+ * by the administrator (or by a user with enough privs). Every time a user
+ * wants to print, the devicemode is reset to the default. In Word, every time
+ * you print, the printer's characteristics are always reset to the global devicemode.
+ *
+ * NT 2000:
+ *
+ * In W2K, there is the notion of per-user devicemode. The first time you use
+ * a printer, a per-user devicemode is build from the global devicemode.
+ * If you change your per-user devicemode, it is saved in the registry, under the
+ * H_KEY_CURRENT_KEY sub_tree. So that every time you print, you have your default
+ * printer preferences available.
+ *
+ * To change the per-user devicemode: it's the "Printing Preferences ..." button
+ * on the General Tab of the printer properties windows.
+ *
+ * To change the global devicemode: it's the "Printing Defaults..." button

+</para>
+
+<para>
+Ok, so you want to print to a Samba server from your PC. The first
+thing you need to understand is that Samba does not actually do any
+printing itself, it just acts as a middleman between your PC client
+and your Unix printing subsystem. Samba receives the file from the PC
+then passes the file to a external "print command". What print command
+you use is up to you.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The whole things is controlled using options in smb.conf. The most
+relevant options (which you should look up in the smb.conf man page)
+are:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ [global]
+ print command - send a file to a spooler
+ lpq command - get spool queue status
+ lprm command - remove a job
+ [printers]
+ path = /var/spool/lpd/samba
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+The following are nice to know about:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ queuepause command - stop a printer or print queue
+ queueresume command - start a printer or print queue
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+Example:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s
+ lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p %s
+ lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
+ queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p stop
+ queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p start
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+Samba should set reasonable defaults for these depending on your
+system type, but it isn't clairvoyant. It is not uncommon that you
+have to tweak these for local conditions. The commands should
+always have fully specified pathnames, as the smdb may not have
+the correct PATH values.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When you send a job to Samba to be printed, it will make a temporary
+copy of it in the directory specified in the [printers] section.
+and it should be periodically cleaned out. The lpr -r option
+requests that the temporary copy be removed after printing; If
+printing fails then you might find leftover files in this directory,
+and it should be periodically cleaned out. Samba used the lpq
+command to determine the "job number" assigned to your print job
+by the spooler.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The %&gt;letter&lt; are "macros" that get dynamically replaced with appropriate
+values when they are used. The %s gets replaced with the name of the spool
+file that Samba creates and the %p gets replaced with the name of the
+printer. The %j gets replaced with the "job number" which comes from
+the lpq output.
+</para>

+
+<sect2>
+<title>Debugging printer problems</title>
+
+<para>
+One way to debug printing problems is to start by replacing these
+command with shell scripts that record the arguments and the contents
+of the print file. A simple example of this kind of things might
+be:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ print command = /tmp/saveprint %p %s
+
+ #!/bin/saveprint
+ # we make sure that we are the right user
+ /usr/bin/id -p >/tmp/tmp.print
+ # we run the command and save the error messages
+ # replace the command with the one appropriate for your system
+ /usr/bin/lpr -r -P$1 $2 2>>&amp;/tmp/tmp.print
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+Then you print a file and try removing it. You may find that the
+print queue needs to be stopped in order to see the queue status
+and remove the job:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+
+h4: {42} % echo hi >/tmp/hi
+h4: {43} % smbclient //localhost/lw4
+added interface ip=10.0.0.4 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
+Password:
+Domain=[ASTART] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.7]
+smb: \> print /tmp/hi
+putting file /tmp/hi as hi-17534 (0.0 kb/s) (average 0.0 kb/s)
+smb: \> queue
+1049 3 hi-17534

+Error cancelling job 1049 : code 0
+smb: \> cancel 1049
+Job 1049 cancelled
+smb: \> queue
+smb: \> exit
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+The 'code 0' indicates that the job was removed. The comment
+by the smbclient is a bit misleading on this.
+You can observe the command output and then and look at the
+/tmp/tmp.print file to see what the results are. You can quickly
+find out if the problem is with your printing system. Often people
+have problems with their /etc/printcap file or permissions on
+various print queues.

+only of alphanumeric or underscore '_' characters. Some systems also
+allow hyphens ('-') as well. An alias is an alternative name for the
+printer, and an alias with a space in it is used as a 'comment'
+about the printer. The printcap format optionally uses a \ at the end of lines
+to extend the printcap to multiple lines.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Here are some examples of printcap files:
+</para>
+

+<listitem><para>
+pr just printer name

+</para></listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Samba reads the printcap information when first started. If you make
+changes in the printcap information, then you must do the following:
+</para>
+
+<orderedlist>
+
+<listitem><para>
+make sure that the print spooler is aware of these changes.
+The LPRng system uses the 'lpc reread' command to do this.
+</para></listitem>
+
+<listitem><para>
+make sure that the spool queues, etc., exist and have the
+correct permissions. The LPRng system uses the 'checkpc -f'
+command to do this.
+</para></listitem>
+
+<listitem><para>
+You now should send a SIGHUP signal to the smbd server to have
+it reread the printcap information.
+</para></listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Job sent, no output</title>
+
+<para>
+This is the most frustrating part of printing. You may have sent the
+job, verified that the job was forwarded, set up a wrapper around
+the command to send the file, but there was no output from the printer.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+First, check to make sure that the job REALLY is getting to the
+right print queue. If you are using a BSD or LPRng print spooler,
+you can temporarily stop the printing of jobs. Jobs can still be
+submitted, but they will not be printed. Use:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ lpc -Pprinter stop
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+Now submit a print job and then use 'lpq -Pprinter' to see if the
+job is in the print queue. If it is not in the print queue then
+you will have to find out why it is not being accepted for printing.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Next, you may want to check to see what the format of the job really
+was. With the assistance of the system administrator you can view
+the submitted jobs files. You may be surprised to find that these
+are not in what you would expect to call a printable format.
+You can use the UNIX 'file' utitily to determine what the job
+format actually is:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ cd /var/spool/lpd/printer # spool directory of print jobs
+ ls # find job files
+ file dfA001myhost
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+You should make sure that your printer supports this format OR that
+your system administrator has installed a 'print filter' that will
+convert the file to a format appropriate for your printer.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Job sent, strange output</title>
+
+<para>
+Once you have the job printing, you can then start worrying about
+making it print nicely.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The most common problem is extra pages of output: banner pages
+OR blank pages at the end.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you are getting banner pages, check and make sure that the
+printcap option or printer option is configured for no banners.
+If you have a printcap, this is the :sh (suppress header or banner
+page) option. You should have the following in your printer.
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ printer: ... :sh
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+If you have this option and are still getting banner pages, there
+is a strong chance that your printer is generating them for you
+automatically. You should make sure that banner printing is disabled
+for the printer. This usually requires using the printer setup software
+or procedures supplied by the printer manufacturer.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you get an extra page of output, this could be due to problems
+with your job format, or if you are generating PostScript jobs,
+incorrect setting on your printer driver on the MicroSoft client.
+For example, under Win95 there is a option:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ Printers|Printer Name|(Right Click)Properties|Postscript|Advanced|
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+that allows you to choose if a Ctrl-D is appended to all jobs.
+This is a very bad thing to do, as most spooling systems will
+automatically add a ^D to the end of the job if it is detected as
+PostScript. The multiple ^D may cause an additional page of output.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Raw PostScript printed</title>
+
+<para>
+This is a problem that is usually caused by either the print spooling
+system putting information at the start of the print job that makes
+the printer think the job is a text file, or your printer simply
+does not support PostScript. You may need to enable 'Automatic
+Format Detection' on your printer.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Advanced Printing</title>
+
+<para>
+Note that you can do some pretty magic things by using your
+imagination with the "print command" option and some shell scripts.
+Doing print accounting is easy by passing the %U option to a print
+command shell script. You could even make the print command detect
+the type of output and its size and send it to an appropriate
+printer.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Real debugging</title>
+
+<para>
+If the above debug tips don't help, then maybe you need to bring in
+the bug guns, system tracing. See Tracing.txt in this directory.

+<title>Securing Samba</title>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Introduction</title>
+<para>
+This note was attached to the Samba 2.2.8 release notes as it contained an
+important security fix. The information contained here applies to Samba
+installations in general.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Using host based protection</title>
+
+<para>
+In many installations of Samba the greatest threat comes for outside
+your immediate network. By default Samba will accept connections from
+any host, which means that if you run an insecure version of Samba on
+a host that is directly connected to the Internet you can be
+especially vulnerable.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+One of the simplest fixes in this case is to use the <command>hosts allow</command> and
+<command>hosts deny</command> options in the Samba &smb.conf; configuration file to only
+allow access to your server from a specific range of hosts. An example
+might be:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.3.0/24
+ hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+The above will only allow SMB connections from 'localhost' (your own
+computer) and from the two private networks 192.168.2 and
+192.168.3. All other connections will be refused as soon
+as the client sends its first packet. The refusal will be marked as a
+'not listening on called name' error.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+
+<title>Using interface protection</title>
+
+<para>
+By default Samba will accept connections on any network interface that
+it finds on your system. That means if you have a ISDN line or a PPP
+connection to the Internet then Samba will accept connections on those
+links. This may not be what you want.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You can change this behaviour using options like the following:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ interfaces = eth* lo
+ bind interfaces only = yes
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+This tells Samba to only listen for connections on interfaces with a
+name starting with 'eth' such as eth0, eth1, plus on the loopback
+interface called 'lo'. The name you will need to use depends on what
+OS you are using, in the above I used the common name for Ethernet
+adapters on Linux.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you use the above and someone tries to make a SMB connection to
+your host over a PPP interface called 'ppp0' then they will get a TCP
+connection refused reply. In that case no Samba code is run at all as
+the operating system has been told not to pass connections from that
+interface to any samba process.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Using a firewall</title>
+
+<para>
+Many people use a firewall to deny access to services that they don't
+want exposed outside their network. This can be a very good idea,
+although I would recommend using it in conjunction with the above
+methods so that you are protected even if your firewall is not active
+for some reason.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you are setting up a firewall then you need to know what TCP and
+UDP ports to allow and block. Samba uses the following:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ UDP/137 - used by nmbd
+ UDP/138 - used by nmbd
+ TCP/139 - used by smbd
+ TCP/445 - used by smbd
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+The last one is important as many older firewall setups may not be
+aware of it, given that this port was only added to the protocol in
+recent years.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Using a IPC$ share deny</title>
+
+<para>
+If the above methods are not suitable, then you could also place a
+more specific deny on the IPC$ share that is used in the recently
+discovered security hole. This allows you to offer access to other
+shares while denying access to IPC$ from potentially untrustworthy
+hosts.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To do that you could use:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ [ipc$]
+ hosts allow = 192.168.115.0/24 127.0.0.1
+ hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+this would tell Samba that IPC$ connections are not allowed from
+anywhere but the two listed places (localhost and a local
+subnet). Connections to other shares would still be allowed. As the
+IPC$ share is the only share that is always accessible anonymously
+this provides some level of protection against attackers that do not
+know a username/password for your host.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you use this method then clients will be given a 'access denied'
+reply when they try to access the IPC$ share. That means that those
+clients will not be able to browse shares, and may also be unable to
+access some other resources.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This is not recommended unless you cannot use one of the other
+methods listed above for some reason.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>NTLMv2 Security</title>
+
+<para>
+To configure NTLMv2 authentication the following registry keys are worth knowing about:
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<programlisting>
+ [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
+ "lmcompatibilitylevel"=dword:00000003
+
+ 0x3 - Send NTLMv2 response only. Clients will use NTLMv2 authentication,
+ use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain
+ controllers accept LM, NTLM and NTLMv2 authentication.
+
+ [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0]
+ "NtlmMinClientSec"=dword:00080000
+
+ 0x80000 - NTLMv2 session security. If either NtlmMinClientSec or
+ NtlmMinServerSec is set to 0x80000, the connection will fail if NTLMv2
+ session security is not negotiated.
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Upgrading Samba</title>
+
+<para>
+Please check regularly on <ulink url="http://www.samba.org/">http://www.samba.org/</ulink> for updates and
+important announcements. Occasionally security releases are made and
+it is highly recommended to upgrade Samba when a security vulnerability
+is discovered.

+<title>Samba as Stand-Alone Server</title>
+
+<para>
+In this section the function and purpose of Samba's <emphasis>security</emphasis>
+modes are described.
+</para>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>User and Share security level</title>
+
+<para>
+A SMB server tells the client at startup what "security level" it is
+running. There are two options "share level" and "user level". Which
+of these two the client receives affects the way the client then tries
+to authenticate itself. It does not directly affect (to any great
+extent) the way the Samba server does security. I know this is
+strange, but it fits in with the client/server approach of SMB. In SMB
+everything is initiated and controlled by the client, and the server
+can only tell the client what is available and whether an action is
+allowed.
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>User Level Security</title>
+
+<para>
+I'll describe user level security first, as its simpler. In user level
+security the client will send a "session setup" command directly after
+the protocol negotiation. This contains a username and password. The
+server can either accept or reject that username/password
+combination. Note that at this stage the server has no idea what
+share the client will eventually try to connect to, so it can't base
+the "accept/reject" on anything other than:
+</para>
+
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem><para>the username/password</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>the machine that the client is coming from</para></listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+
+<para>
+If the server accepts the username/password then the client expects to
+be able to mount any share (using a "tree connection") without
+specifying a password. It expects that all access rights will be as
+the username/password specified in the "session setup".
+</para>
+
+<para>
+It is also possible for a client to send multiple "session setup"
+requests. When the server responds it gives the client a "uid" to use
+as an authentication tag for that username/password. The client can
+maintain multiple authentication contexts in this way (WinDD is an
+example of an application that does this)
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Share Level Security</title>
+
+<para>
+Ok, now for share level security. In share level security the client
+authenticates itself separately for each share. It will send a
+password along with each "tree connection" (share mount). It does not
+explicitly send a username with this operation. The client is
+expecting a password to be associated with each share, independent of
+the user. This means that samba has to work out what username the
+client probably wants to use. It is never explicitly sent the
+username. Some commercial SMB servers such as NT actually associate
+passwords directly with shares in share level security, but samba
+always uses the unix authentication scheme where it is a
+username/password that is authenticated, not a "share/password".
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Many clients send a "session setup" even if the server is in share
+level security. They normally send a valid username but no
+password. Samba records this username in a list of "possible
+usernames". When the client then does a "tree connection" it also adds
+to this list the name of the share they try to connect to (useful for
+home directories) and any users listed in the <command>user =</command> &smb.conf;
+line. The password is then checked in turn against these "possible
+usernames". If a match is found then the client is authenticated as
+that user.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Server Level Security</title>
+
+<para>
+Finally "server level" security. In server level security the samba
+server reports to the client that it is in user level security. The
+client then does a "session setup" as described earlier. The samba
+server takes the username/password that the client sends and attempts
+to login to the "password server" by sending exactly the same
+username/password that it got from the client. If that server is in
+user level security and accepts the password then samba accepts the
+clients connection. This allows the samba server to use another SMB
+server as the "password server".
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You should also note that at the very start of all this, where the
+server tells the client what security level it is in, it also tells
+the client if it supports encryption. If it does then it supplies the
+client with a random "cryptkey". The client will then send all
+passwords in encrypted form. You have to compile samba with encryption
+enabled to support this feature, and you have to maintain a separate
+smbpasswd file with SMB style encrypted passwords. It is
+cryptographically impossible to translate from unix style encryption
+to SMB style encryption, although there are some fairly simple management
+schemes by which the two could be kept in sync.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+"security = server" means that Samba reports to clients that
+it is running in "user mode" but actually passes off all authentication
+requests to another "user mode" server. This requires an additional
+parameter "password server =" that points to the real authentication server.
+That real authentication server can be another Samba server or can be a
+Windows NT server, the later natively capable of encrypted password support.
+</para>
+
+<note><para>
+<emphasis>Server</emphasis> level security is incompatible with what is known
+as <emphasis>schannel</emphasis> or "sign and seal" protocols. This means that
+if you want to use <emphasis>server</emphasis> level security you must disable
+the use of "sign and seal" on all machines on your network.
+</para></note>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Configuring Samba for Seemless Windows Network Integration</title>
+
+<para>
+MS Windows clients may use encrypted passwords as part of a challenege/response
+authentication model (a.k.a. NTLMv1) or alone, or clear text strings for simple
+password based authentication. It should be realized that with the SMB protocol
+the password is passed over the network either in plain text or encrypted, but
+not both in the same authentication request.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When encrypted passwords are used a password that has been entered by the user
+is encrypted in two ways:
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>An MD4 hash of the UNICODE of the password
+ string. This is known as the NT hash.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>The password is converted to upper case,
+ and then padded or trucated to 14 bytes. This string is
+ then appended with 5 bytes of NULL characters and split to
+ form two 56 bit DES keys to encrypt a "magic" 8 byte value.
+ The resulting 16 bytes for the LanMan hash.
+ </para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+MS Windows 95 pre-service pack 1, MS Windows NT versions 3.x and version 4.0
+pre-service pack 3 will use either mode of password authentication. All
+versions of MS Windows that follow these versions no longer support plain
+text passwords by default.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+MS Windows clients have a habit of dropping network mappings that have been idle
+for 10 minutes or longer. When the user attempts to use the mapped drive
+connection that has been dropped, the client re-establishes the connection using
+a cached copy of the password.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When Microsoft changed the default password mode, support was dropped for caching
+of the plain text password. This means that when the registry parameter is changed
+to re-enable use of plain text passwords it appears to work, but when a dropped
+service connection mapping attempts to revalidate it will fail if the remote
+authentication server does not support encrypted passwords. This means that it
+is definitely not a good idea to re-enable plain text password support in such clients.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The following parameters can be used to work around the issue of Windows 9x client
+upper casing usernames and password before transmitting them to the SMB server
+when using clear text authentication.

+
+<para>
+By default Samba will lower case the username before attempting to lookup the user
+in the database of local system accounts. Because UNIX usernames conventionally
+only contain lower case character, the <parameter>username level</parameter> parameter
+is rarely needed.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+However, passwords on UNIX systems often make use of mixed case characters.
+This means that in order for a user on a Windows 9x client to connect to a Samba
+server using clear text authentication, the <parameter>password level</parameter>
+must be set to the maximum number of upper case letter which <emphasis>could</emphasis>
+appear is a password. Note that the server OS uses the traditional DES version
+of crypt(), a <parameter>password level</parameter> of 8 will result in case
+insensitive passwords as seen from Windows users. This will also result in longer
+login times as Samba has to compute the permutations of the password string and
+try them one by one until a match is located (or all combinations fail).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The best option to adopt is to enable support for encrypted passwords
+where ever Samba is used. There are three configuration possibilities
+for support of encrypted passwords:
+</para>
+
+</sect3>
+<sect3>
+<title>Use MS Windows NT as an authentication server</title>
+
+<para>
+This method involves the additions of the following parameters in the &smb.conf; file:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ encrypt passwords = Yes
+ security = server
+ password server = "NetBIOS_name_of_PDC"
+</programlisting></para>
+
+
+<para>
+There are two ways of identifying whether or not a username and
+password pair was valid or not. One uses the reply information provided
+as part of the authentication messaging process, the other uses
+just an error code.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The down-side of this mode of configuration is the fact that
+for security reasons Samba will send the password server a bogus
+username and a bogus password and if the remote server fails to
+reject the username and password pair then an alternative mode
+of identification of validation is used. Where a site uses password
+lock out after a certain number of failed authentication attempts
+this will result in user lockouts.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Use of this mode of authentication does require there to be
+a standard Unix account for the user, this account can be blocked
+to prevent logons by other than MS Windows clients.
+</para>
+
+</sect3>
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Domain Level Security</title>
+
+<para>
+When samba is operating in <emphasis>security = domain</emphasis> mode this means that
+the Samba server has a domain security trust account (a machine account) and will cause
+all authentication requests to be passed through to the domain controllers.
+</para>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Samba as a member of an MS Windows NT security domain</title>
+
+<para>
+This method involves addition of the following parameters in the &smb.conf; file:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ encrypt passwords = Yes
+ security = domain
+ workgroup = "name of NT domain"
+ password server = *
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+The use of the "*" argument to <command>password server</command> will cause samba to locate the
+domain controller in a way analogous to the way this is done within MS Windows NT.
+This is the default behaviour.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In order for this method to work the Samba server needs to join the
+MS Windows NT security domain. This is done as follows:
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>On the MS Windows NT domain controller using
+ the Server Manager add a machine account for the Samba server.
+ </para></listitem>
+

+
+ <command>net join -U administrator%password</command> (samba-3)
+ </para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+Use of this mode of authentication does require there to be a standard Unix account
+for the user in order to assign a uid once the account has been authenticated by
+the remote Windows DC. This account can be blocked to prevent logons by clients other than
+MS Windows through things such as setting an invalid shell in the
+<filename>/etc/passwd</filename> entry.

+<title>Unicode/Charsets</title>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>What are charsets and unicode?</title>
+
+<para>
+Computers communicate in numbers. In texts, each number will be
+translated to a corresponding letter. The meaning that will be assigned
+to a certain number depends on the <emphasis>character set(charset)
+</emphasis> that is used.
+A charset can be seen as a table that is used to translate numbers to
+letters. Not all computers use the same charset (there are charsets
+with German umlauts, Japanese characters, etc). Usually a charset contains
+256 characters, which means that storing a character with it takes
+exactly one byte. </para>
+
+<para>
+There are also charsets that support even more characters,
+but those need twice(or even more) as much storage space. These
+charsets can contain <command>256 * 256 = 65536</command> characters, which
+is more then all possible characters one could think of. They are called
+multibyte charsets (because they use more then one byte to
+store one character).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+A standardised multibyte charset is unicode, info is available at
+<ulink url="http://www.unicode.org/">www.unicode.org</ulink>.
+A big advantage of using a multibyte charset is that you only need one; no
+need to make sure two computers use the same charset when they are
+communicating.
+</para>
+
+<para>Old windows clients used to use single-byte charsets, named
+'codepages' by microsoft. However, there is no support for
+negotiating the charset to be used in the smb protocol. Thus, you
+have to make sure you are using the same charset when talking to an old client.
+Newer clients (Windows NT, 2K, XP) talk unicode over the wire.
+</para>
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Samba and charsets</title>
+
+<para>
+As of samba 3.0, samba can (and will) talk unicode over the wire. Internally,
+samba knows of three kinds of character sets:
+</para>
+
+<variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>unix charset</term>
+ <listitem><para>
+ This is the charset used internally by your operating system.
+ The default is <constant>ASCII</constant>, which is fine for most
+ systems.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>display charset</term>
+ <listitem><para>This is the charset samba will use to print messages
+ on your screen. It should generally be the same as the <command>unix charset</command>.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>dos charset</term>
+ <listitem><para>This is the charset samba uses when communicating with
+ DOS and Windows 9x clients. It will talk unicode to all newer clients.
+ The default depends on the charsets you have installed on your system.
+ Run <command>testparm -v | grep "dos charset"</command> to see
+ what the default is on your system.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+</variablelist>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Conversion from old names</title>
+
+<para>Because previous samba versions did not do any charset conversion,
+characters in filenames are usually not correct in the unix charset but only
+for the local charset used by the DOS/Windows clients.</para>
+
+<para>The following script from Steve Langasek converts all
+filenames from CP850 to the iso8859-15 charset.</para>
+
+<para>
+<prompt>#</prompt><userinput>find <replaceable>/path/to/share</replaceable> -type f -exec bash -c 'CP="{}"; ISO=`echo -n "$CP" | iconv -f cp850 \

+<title>Unified Logons between Windows NT and UNIX using Winbind</title>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Abstract</title>
+
+ <para>Integration of UNIX and Microsoft Windows NT through
+ a unified logon has been considered a "holy grail" in heterogeneous
+ computing environments for a long time. We present
+ <emphasis>winbind</emphasis>, a component of the Samba suite
+ of programs as a solution to the unified logon problem. Winbind
+ uses a UNIX implementation
+ of Microsoft RPC calls, Pluggable Authentication Modules, and the Name
+ Service Switch to allow Windows NT domain users to appear and operate
+ as UNIX users on a UNIX machine. This paper describes the winbind
+ system, explaining the functionality it provides, how it is configured,
+ and how it works internally.</para>
+</sect1>
+
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>Introduction</title>
+
+ <para>It is well known that UNIX and Microsoft Windows NT have
+ different models for representing user and group information and
+ use different technologies for implementing them. This fact has
+ made it difficult to integrate the two systems in a satisfactory
+ manner.</para>
+
+ <para>One common solution in use today has been to create
+ identically named user accounts on both the UNIX and Windows systems
+ and use the Samba suite of programs to provide file and print services
+ between the two. This solution is far from perfect however, as
+ adding and deleting users on both sets of machines becomes a chore
+ and two sets of passwords are required both of which
+ can lead to synchronization problems between the UNIX and Windows
+ systems and confusion for users.</para>
+
+ <para>We divide the unified logon problem for UNIX machines into
+ three smaller problems:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>Obtaining Windows NT user and group information
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Authenticating Windows NT users
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Password changing for Windows NT users
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+
+ <para>Ideally, a prospective solution to the unified logon problem
+ would satisfy all the above components without duplication of
+ information on the UNIX machines and without creating additional
+ tasks for the system administrator when maintaining users and
+ groups on either system. The winbind system provides a simple
+ and elegant solution to all three components of the unified logon
+ problem.</para>
+</sect1>
+
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>What Winbind Provides</title>
+
+ <para>Winbind unifies UNIX and Windows NT account management by
+ allowing a UNIX box to become a full member of a NT domain. Once
+ this is done the UNIX box will see NT users and groups as if
+ they were native UNIX users and groups, allowing the NT domain
+ to be used in much the same manner that NIS+ is used within
+ UNIX-only environments.</para>
+
+ <para>The end result is that whenever any
+ program on the UNIX machine asks the operating system to lookup
+ a user or group name, the query will be resolved by asking the
+ NT domain controller for the specified domain to do the lookup.
+ Because Winbind hooks into the operating system at a low level
+ (via the NSS name resolution modules in the C library) this
+ redirection to the NT domain controller is completely
+ transparent.</para>
+
+ <para>Users on the UNIX machine can then use NT user and group
+ names as they would use "native" UNIX names. They can chown files
+ so that they are owned by NT domain users or even login to the
+ UNIX machine and run a UNIX X-Window session as a domain user.</para>
+
+ <para>The only obvious indication that Winbind is being used is
+ that user and group names take the form DOMAIN\user and
+ DOMAIN\group. This is necessary as it allows Winbind to determine
+ that redirection to a domain controller is wanted for a particular
+ lookup and which trusted domain is being referenced.</para>
+
+ <para>Additionally, Winbind provides an authentication service
+ that hooks into the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) system
+ to provide authentication via a NT domain to any PAM enabled
+ applications. This capability solves the problem of synchronizing
+ passwords between systems since all passwords are stored in a single
+ location (on the domain controller).</para>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Target Uses</title>
+
+ <para>Winbind is targeted at organizations that have an
+ existing NT based domain infrastructure into which they wish
+ to put UNIX workstations or servers. Winbind will allow these
+ organizations to deploy UNIX workstations without having to
+ maintain a separate account infrastructure. This greatly
+ simplifies the administrative overhead of deploying UNIX
+ workstations into a NT based organization.</para>
+
+ <para>Another interesting way in which we expect Winbind to
+ be used is as a central part of UNIX based appliances. Appliances
+ that provide file and print services to Microsoft based networks
+ will be able to use Winbind to provide seamless integration of
+ the appliance into the domain.</para>
+ </sect2>
+</sect1>
+
+
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>How Winbind Works</title>
+
+ <para>The winbind system is designed around a client/server
+ architecture. A long running <command>winbindd</command> daemon
+ listens on a UNIX domain socket waiting for requests
+ to arrive. These requests are generated by the NSS and PAM
+ clients and processed sequentially.</para>
+
+ <para>The technologies used to implement winbind are described
+ in detail below.</para>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Microsoft Remote Procedure Calls</title>
+
+ <para>Over the last few years, efforts have been underway
+ by various Samba Team members to decode various aspects of
+ the Microsoft Remote Procedure Call (MSRPC) system. This
+ system is used for most network related operations between
+ Windows NT machines including remote management, user authentication
+ and print spooling. Although initially this work was done
+ to aid the implementation of Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
+ functionality in Samba, it has also yielded a body of code which
+ can be used for other purposes.</para>
+
+ <para>Winbind uses various MSRPC calls to enumerate domain users
+ and groups and to obtain detailed information about individual
+ users or groups. Other MSRPC calls can be used to authenticate
+ NT domain users and to change user passwords. By directly querying
+ a Windows PDC for user and group information, winbind maps the
+ NT account information onto UNIX user and group names.</para>
+ </sect2>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Microsoft Active Directory Services</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Since late 2001, Samba has gained the ability to
+ interact with Microsoft Windows 2000 using its 'Native
+ Mode' protocols, rather than the NT4 RPC services.
+ Using LDAP and Kerberos, a domain member running
+ winbind can enumerate users and groups in exactly the
+ same way as a Win2k client would, and in so doing
+ provide a much more efficient and
+ effective winbind implementation.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Name Service Switch</title>
+
+ <para>The Name Service Switch, or NSS, is a feature that is
+ present in many UNIX operating systems. It allows system
+ information such as hostnames, mail aliases and user information
+ to be resolved from different sources. For example, a standalone
+ UNIX workstation may resolve system information from a series of
+ flat files stored on the local filesystem. A networked workstation
+ may first attempt to resolve system information from local files,
+ and then consult a NIS database for user information or a DNS server
+ for hostname information.</para>
+
+ <para>The NSS application programming interface allows winbind
+ to present itself as a source of system information when
+ resolving UNIX usernames and groups. Winbind uses this interface,
+ and information obtained from a Windows NT server using MSRPC
+ calls to provide a new source of account enumeration. Using standard
+ UNIX library calls, one can enumerate the users and groups on
+ a UNIX machine running winbind and see all users and groups in
+ a NT domain plus any trusted domain as though they were local
+ users and groups.</para>
+
+ <para>The primary control file for NSS is
+ <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.
+ When a UNIX application makes a request to do a lookup
+ the C library looks in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>
+ for a line which matches the service type being requested, for
+ example the "passwd" service type is used when user or group names
+ are looked up. This config line species which implementations
+ of that service should be tried and in what order. If the passwd
+ config line is:</para>
+
+ <para><command>passwd: files example</command></para>
+
+ <para>then the C library will first load a module called
+ <filename>/lib/libnss_files.so</filename> followed by
+ the module <filename>/lib/libnss_example.so</filename>. The
+ C library will dynamically load each of these modules in turn
+ and call resolver functions within the modules to try to resolve
+ the request. Once the request is resolved the C library returns the
+ result to the application.</para>
+
+ <para>This NSS interface provides a very easy way for Winbind
+ to hook into the operating system. All that needs to be done
+ is to put <filename>libnss_winbind.so</filename> in <filename>/lib/</filename>
+ then add "winbind" into <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> at
+ the appropriate place. The C library will then call Winbind to
+ resolve user and group names.</para>
+ </sect2>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Pluggable Authentication Modules</title>
+
+ <para>Pluggable Authentication Modules, also known as PAM,
+ is a system for abstracting authentication and authorization
+ technologies. With a PAM module it is possible to specify different
+ authentication methods for different system applications without
+ having to recompile these applications. PAM is also useful
+ for implementing a particular policy for authorization. For example,
+ a system administrator may only allow console logins from users
+ stored in the local password file but only allow users resolved from
+ a NIS database to log in over the network.</para>
+
+ <para>Winbind uses the authentication management and password
+ management PAM interface to integrate Windows NT users into a
+ UNIX system. This allows Windows NT users to log in to a UNIX
+ machine and be authenticated against a suitable Primary Domain
+ Controller. These users can also change their passwords and have
+ this change take effect directly on the Primary Domain Controller.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>PAM is configured by providing control files in the directory
+ <filename>/etc/pam.d/</filename> for each of the services that
+ require authentication. When an authentication request is made
+ by an application the PAM code in the C library looks up this
+ control file to determine what modules to load to do the
+ authentication check and in what order. This interface makes adding
+ a new authentication service for Winbind very easy, all that needs
+ to be done is that the <filename>pam_winbind.so</filename> module
+ is copied to <filename>/lib/security/</filename> and the PAM
+ control files for relevant services are updated to allow
+ authentication via winbind. See the PAM documentation
+ for more details.</para>
+ </sect2>
+
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>User and Group ID Allocation</title>
+
+ <para>When a user or group is created under Windows NT
+ is it allocated a numerical relative identifier (RID). This is
+ slightly different to UNIX which has a range of numbers that are
+ used to identify users, and the same range in which to identify
+ groups. It is winbind's job to convert RIDs to UNIX id numbers and
+ vice versa. When winbind is configured it is given part of the UNIX
+ user id space and a part of the UNIX group id space in which to
+ store Windows NT users and groups. If a Windows NT user is
+ resolved for the first time, it is allocated the next UNIX id from
+ the range. The same process applies for Windows NT groups. Over
+ time, winbind will have mapped all Windows NT users and groups
+ to UNIX user ids and group ids.</para>
+
+ <para>The results of this mapping are stored persistently in
+ an ID mapping database held in a tdb database). This ensures that
+ RIDs are mapped to UNIX IDs in a consistent way.</para>
+ </sect2>
+
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Result Caching</title>
+
+ <para>An active system can generate a lot of user and group
+ name lookups. To reduce the network cost of these lookups winbind
+ uses a caching scheme based on the SAM sequence number supplied
+ by NT domain controllers. User or group information returned
+ by a PDC is cached by winbind along with a sequence number also
+ returned by the PDC. This sequence number is incremented by
+ Windows NT whenever any user or group information is modified. If
+ a cached entry has expired, the sequence number is requested from
+ the PDC and compared against the sequence number of the cached entry.
+ If the sequence numbers do not match, then the cached information
+ is discarded and up to date information is requested directly
+ from the PDC.</para>

+To allow Domain users the ability to access SAMBA shares and
+files, as well as potentially other services provided by your
+SAMBA machine, PAM (pluggable authentication modules) must
+be setup properly on your machine. In order to compile the
+winbind modules, you should have at least the pam libraries resident
+on your system. For recent RedHat systems (7.1, for instance), that
+means <filename>pam-0.74-22</filename>. For best results, it is helpful to also
+install the development packages in <filename>pam-devel-0.74-22</filename>.

+<title>Testing Things Out</title>

+Before starting, it is probably best to kill off all the SAMBA
+related daemons running on your server. Kill off all <command>smbd</command>,
+<command>nmbd</command>, and <command>winbindd</command> processes that may
+be running. To use PAM, you will want to make sure that you have the
+standard PAM package (for RedHat) which supplies the <filename>/etc/pam.d</filename>
+directory structure, including the pam modules are used by pam-aware
+services, several pam libraries, and the <filename>/usr/doc</filename>
+and <filename>/usr/man</filename> entries for pam. Winbind built better
+in SAMBA if the pam-devel package was also installed. This package includes
+the header files needed to compile pam-aware applications. For instance,
+my RedHat system has both <filename>pam-0.74-22</filename> and
+<filename>pam-devel-0.74-22</filename> RPMs installed.

+Advantage of this is that responses stay accurate and are faster.

+ <title>Limitations</title>
+
+ <para>Winbind has a number of limitations in its current
+ released version that we hope to overcome in future
+ releases:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>Winbind is currently only available for
+ the Linux, Solaris and IRIX operating systems, although ports to other operating
+ systems are certainly possible. For such ports to be feasible,
+ we require the C library of the target operating system to
+ support the Name Service Switch and Pluggable Authentication
+ Modules systems. This is becoming more common as NSS and
+ PAM gain support among UNIX vendors.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>The mappings of Windows NT RIDs to UNIX ids
+ is not made algorithmically and depends on the order in which
+ unmapped users or groups are seen by winbind. It may be difficult
+ to recover the mappings of rid to UNIX id mapping if the file
+ containing this information is corrupted or destroyed.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Currently the winbind PAM module does not take
+ into account possible workstation and logon time restrictions
+ that may be been set for Windows NT users, this is
+ instead up to the PDC to enforce.</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>

+ <title>Conclusion</title>
+
+ <para>The winbind system, through the use of the Name Service
+ Switch, Pluggable Authentication Modules, and appropriate
+ Microsoft RPC calls have allowed us to provide seamless
+ integration of Microsoft Windows NT domain users on a
+ UNIX system. The result is a great reduction in the administrative
+ cost of running a mixed UNIX and NT network.</para>
