+This parameter is a comma, space, or tab delimited set of hosts which
+are permitted to access a service.
+
+If specified in the link(bf([global]))(global) section then it will
+apply to all services, regardless of whether the individual service
+has a different setting.
You can specify the hosts by name or IP number. For example, you could
-restrict access to only the hosts on a Class C subnet with something like
-"allow hosts = 150.203.5.". The full syntax of the list is described in
-the man page
-.BR hosts_access (5).
+restrict access to only the hosts on a Class C subnet with something
+like tt("allow hosts = 150.203.5."). The full syntax of the list is
+described in the man page bf(hosts_access (5)). Note that this man
+page may not be present on your system, so a brief description will
+be given here also.
+
+em(NOTE:) IF you wish to allow the url(bf(smbpasswd
+(8)))(smbpasswd.html.8) program to be run by local users to change
+their Samba passwords using the local url(bf(smbd (8)))(smbd.8.html)
+daemon, then you em(MUST) ensure that the localhost is listed in your
+bf(allow hosts) list, as url(bf(smbpasswd (8)))(smbpasswd.html.8) runs
+in client-server mode and is seen by the local
+url(bf(smbd))(smbd.8.html) process as just another client.
You can also specify hosts by network/netmask pairs and by netgroup
-names if your system supports netgroups. The EXCEPT keyword can also
+names if your system supports netgroups. The em(EXCEPT) keyword can also
be used to limit a wildcard list. The following examples may provide
some help:
-Example 1: allow all IPs in 150.203.*.* except one
+bf(Example 1): allow localhost and all IPs in 150.203.*.* except one
- hosts allow = 150.203. EXCEPT 150.203.6.66
+tt( hosts allow = localhost, 150.203. EXCEPT 150.203.6.66)
-Example 2: allow hosts that match the given network/netmask
+bf(Example 2): allow localhost and hosts that match the given network/netmask
- hosts allow = 150.203.15.0/255.255.255.0
+tt( hosts allow = localhost, 150.203.15.0/255.255.255.0)
-Example 3: allow a couple of hosts
+bf(Example 3): allow a localhost plus a couple of hosts
- hosts allow = lapland, arvidsjaur
+tt( hosts allow = localhost, lapland, arvidsjaur)
-Example 4: allow only hosts in netgroup "foonet" or localhost, but
+bf(Example 4): allow only hosts in NIS netgroup "foonet" or localhost, but
deny access from one particular host
- hosts allow = @foonet, localhost
- hosts deny = pirate
+tt( hosts allow = @foonet, localhost)
+tt( hosts deny = pirate)
Note that access still requires suitable user-level passwords.

-.SS alternate permissions (S)

+dit(bf(alternate permissions (S)))
-This option affects the way the "read only" DOS attribute is produced
-for UNIX files. If this is false then the read only bit is set for
-files on writeable shares which the user cannot write to.
+This is a deprecated parameter. It no longer has any effect in Samba2.0.
+In previous versions of Samba it affected the way the DOS "read only"
+attribute was mapped for a file. In Samba2.0 a file is marked "read only"
+if the UNIX file does not have the 'w' bit set for the owner of the file,
+regardless if the owner of the file is the currently logged on user or not.
-If this is true then it is set for files whos user write bit is not set.
+label(announceas)
+dit(bf(announce as (G)))
-The latter behaviour is useful for when users copy files from each
-others directories, and use a file manager that preserves
-permissions. Without this option they may get annoyed as all copied
-files will have the "read only" bit set.
+This specifies what type of server url(bf(nmbd))(nmbd.8.html) will
+announce itself as, to a network neighborhood browse list. By default
+this is set to Windows NT. The valid options are : "NT", "Win95" or
+"WfW" meaining Windows NT, Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups
+respectively. Do not change this parameter unless you have a specific
+need to stop Samba appearing as an NT server as this may prevent Samba
+servers from participating as browser servers correctly.

- alternate permissions = no

- alternate permissions = yes

-.B Default:
+This specifies the major and minor version numbers that nmbd will use

-.SS bind interfaces only (G)
-This global parameter (new for 1.9.18) allows the Samba admin to limit
-what interfaces on a machine will serve smb requests. If affects file service
-(smbd) and name service (nmbd) in slightly different ways.
-
-For name service it causes nmbd to bind to ports 137 and 138 on
-the interfaces listed in the 'interfaces' parameter. nmbd also binds
-to the 'all addresses' interface (0.0.0.0) on ports 137 and 138
-for the purposes of reading broadcast messages. If this option is
-not set then nmbd will service name requests on all of these
-sockets. If "bind interfaces only" is set then nmbd will check
-the source address of any packets coming in on the broadcast
-sockets and discard any that don't match the broadcast addresses
-of the interfaces in the 'interfaces' parameter list. As unicast
-packets are received on the other sockets it allows nmbd to
-refuse to serve names to machines that send packets that arrive
-through any interfaces not listed in the 'interfaces' list.
-IP Source address spoofing does defeat this simple check, however
-so it must not be used seriously as a security feature for nmbd.
-
-For file service it causes smbd to bind only to the interface
-list given in the 'interfaces' parameter. This restricts the
-networks that smbd will serve to packets coming in those interfaces.
-Note that you should not use this parameter for machines that
-are serving ppp or other intermittant or non-broadcast network

+'all addresses' interface (0.0.0.0) on ports 137 and 138 for the

-.B Default:
+In addition, to change a users SMB password, the
+url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.8.html) by default connects to the
+em("localhost" - 127.0.0.1) address as an SMB client to issue the

+unless the network address em(127.0.0.1) is added to the
+link(bf('interfaces'))(interfaces) parameter list then
+url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.8.html) will fail to connect in it's
+default mode. url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.8.html) can be forced to
+use the primary IP interface of the local host by using its
