-<H3><A NAME="admin users">admin users (S)</A></H3>
-This is a list of users who will be granted administrative privileges on the
-share. This means that they will do all file operations as the super-user
-(root).<P>
-You should use this option very carefully, as any user in this list will be
-able to do anything they like on the share, irrespective of file permissions.<P>
-<B>Default:</B> no admin users <P>
-<B>Example:</B> admin users = jason <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="announce as">announce as (G)</A></H3>
-This specifies what type of server nmbd will announce itself as in browse
-lists. 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. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> announce as = NT <P>
-<B>Example:</B> announce as = Win95 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="announce version">announce version (G)</A></H3>
-This specifies the major and minor version numbers that nmbd will use when
-announcing itself as a server. The default is 4.2. Do not change this parameter
-unless you have a specific need to set a Samba server to be a downlevel
-server. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> announce version = 4.2 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> announce version = 2.0 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="alternate permissions">alternate permissions (S)</A></H3>
-This option affects the way the "read only" DOS attribute is produced for
-UNIX files. If this is No then the read only bit is set for files on
-writeable shares which the user cannot write to. <P>
-If this is Yes then "read only" is set for files when the user write bit is
-not set. <P>
-The latter behaviour is useful 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. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> alternate permissions = no <P>
-<B>Example:</B> alternate permissions = yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="available">available (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter lets you 'turn off' a service. If 'available = no', then ALL
-attempts to connect to the service will fail. Such failures are logged. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> available = yes <P>
-<B>Example:</B> available = no <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="bind interfaces only">bind interfaces only (G)</A></H3>
-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. <P>
-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
-<A HREF="#interfaces">interfaces</A> 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. <P>
-For file service it causes smbd to bind only to the interface list given in
-the <A HREF="#interfaces">interfaces</A> 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 interfaces as it will
-not cope with non-permanent interfaces. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> bind interfaces only = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> bind interfaces only = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="browseable">browseable (S)</A></H3>
-This controls whether this share is seen in the list of available shares
-in a net view and in the browse list. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> browseable = Yes <P>
-<B>Example:</B> browseable = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="browse list">browse list(G)</A></H3>
-This controls whether the smbd will serve a browse list to a client doing a
-NetServerEnum call. Normally set to Yes. You should never need to change
-this. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> browse list = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="case sensitive">case sensitive (G)</A></H3>
-Controls whether filenames are case sensitive. If they aren't then Samba must
-do a filename search and match on passed names.<P>
-<B>Default:</B> case sensitive = No <P>
-See the discussion on <A HREF="#NAME MANGLING">NAME MANGLING</A>. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="character set">character set (G)</A></H3>
-This allows smbd to map incoming characters from a DOS 850 Code page to
-either a Western European (ISO8859-1) or Easter European (ISO8859-2) code page.
-Normally not set, meaning no filename translation is done. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> character set = <P>
-<B>Example:</B> character set = iso8859-1 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="client code page">client code page (G)</A></H3>
-Currently (Samba 1.9.19 and above) this may be set to one of the following
-values: 437, 850, 852, 866, 932, 936, 949, or 950. It specifies the base DOS
-code page that the clients accessing Samba are using. To determine this,
-open a DOS command prompt and type the command "chcp". This will output
-the code page. The default for USA MS-DOS, Windows 95, and Windows NT releases
-is code page 437. The default for western european releases of the above
-operating systems is code page 850. <P>
-This parameter co-operates with the <A HREF="#valid chars">valid chars</A>
-parameter in determining what characters are valid in filenames
-and how capitalization is done. It has been added as a convenience for
-clients whose code page is either 437 or 850 so a convoluted "valid chars"
-string does not have to be determined. If you set both this parameter and
-the "valid chars" parameter the "client code page" parameter MUST be
-set before the "valid chars" in the smb.conf file. The "valid chars" string
-will then augment the character settings in the "client code page" parameter.
-<P>
-If "client code page" is set to a value other than those listed above, it will
-default to 850. <P>
-See also : <A HREF="#valid chars">valid chars</A>. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> client code page = 850 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> client code page = 437 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="coding system">coding system (G)</A></H3>
-<B>Default:</B> coding system = <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="comment">comment (S)</A></H3>
-This is a text field that is seen next to a share when a client does a net
-view to list what shares are available. <P>
-If you want to set the string that is displayed next to the machine name then
-see the <A HREF="#server string">server string</A> command. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> No comment string <P>
-<B>Example:</B> comment = Fred's Files <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="create mask">create mask (S)</A></H3>
-A synonym for this parameter is 'create mode'. <P>
-When a file is created, the neccessary permissions are calculated according
-to the mapping from DOS modes to UNIX permissions, and the resulting UNIX
-mode is then bit-wise 'AND'ed with this parameter. This parameter may be
-thought of as a bit-wise MASK for the UNIX modes of a file. Any bit *not* set
-here will be removed from the modes set on a file when it is created. <P>
-The default value of this parameter removes the 'group' and 'other' write and
-execute bits from the UNIX modes. <P>
-Following this Samba will bit-wise 'OR' the UNIX mode created from this
-parameter with the value of the
-<A HREF="#force create mode">force create mode</A>
-parameter which is set to 000 by default. <P>
-For Samba 1.9.17 and above this parameter no longer affects directory modes.
-See the parameter <A HREF="#directory mask">directory mask</A> for details. <P>
-See also the <A HREF="#force create mode">force create mode</A> parameter for
-forcing particular mode bits to be set on created files. See also the
-<A HREF="#directory mask">directory mask</A>
-parameter for masking mode bits on created directories. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> create mask = 0744 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> create mask = 0775 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="deadtime">deadtime (G)</A></H3>
-The value of the parameter (a decimal integer) represents the number of
-minutes of inactivity before a connection is considered dead, and it is
-disconnected. The deadtime only takes effect if the number of open files is
-zero. <P>
-This is useful to stop a server's resources being exhausted by a large number
-of inactive connections. <P>
-Most clients have an auto-reconnect feature when a connection is broken so in
-most cases this parameter should be transparent to users. <P>
-Using this parameter with a timeout of a few minutes is recommended for most
-systems. <P>
-A deadtime of zero indicates that no auto-disconnection should be performed.<P>
-<B>Default:</B> deadtime = 0 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> deadtime = 15
-
-<H3><A NAME="default case">default case (S)</A></H3>
-Controls what the default case (upper/lower) is for new filenames.<P>
-See the section on <A HREF="#NAME MANGLING">NAME MANGLING</A> <P>
-<B>Default:</B> default case = lower <P>
-<B>Example:</B> default case = upper <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="default service">default service (G)</A></H3> A synonym for this
-parameter is 'default'. <P>
-This parameter specifies the name of a service which will be connected to if
-the service actually requested cannot be found. Note that the square brackets
-are NOT given in the parameter value (see example below). <P>
-There is no default value for this parameter. If this parameter is not given,
-attempting to connect to a nonexistent service results in an error. <P>
-Typically the default service would be a public, read-only service. <P>
-Also note that as of 1.9.14 the apparent service name will be changed to be
-that of the requested service, this is very useful as it allows
-you to use macros like %S to make a wildcard service. <P>
-Note also that any _ characters in the name of the service used in the default
-service will get mapped to a /. This allows for interesting things. <P>
-<B>Example:</B> default service = pub<P>
-<pre>
-[pub]
- path = /%S
-</pre>
-
-<H3><A NAME="delete readonly">delete readonly (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter allows readonly files to be deleted. This is not normal DOS
-semantics, but is allowed by UNIX. <P>
-This option may be useful for running applications such as rcs, where UNIX
-file ownership prevents changing file permissions, and DOS semantics prevent
-deletion of a read only file. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> delete readonly = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> delete readonly = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="delete veto files">delete veto files (S)</A></H3>
-This option is used when Samba is attempting to delete a directory that
-contains one or more vetoed directories (see the
-<A HREF="#veto files">veto files</A> option). If this option is set to No
-(the default) then if a vetoed directory contains any non-vetoed files or
-directories then the directory delete will fail. This is usually what you
-want. <P>
-If this option is set to Yes, then Samba will attempt to recursively delete
-any files and directories within the vetoed directory. This can be useful
-for integration with file serving systems such as Netatalk, which create
-meta-files within directories you might normally veto DOS/Windows users
-from seeing (eg. .AppleDouble) <P>
-Setting 'delete veto files = Yes' allows these directories to be
-transparently deleted when the parent directory is deleted (so long as the
-user has permissions to do so). <P>
-<B>Default:</B> delete veto files = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> delete veto files = Yes <P>
-See <A HREF="#veto files">veto files</A> <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="dfree command">dfree command (G)</A></H3>
-The dfree command setting should only be used on systems where a problem
-occurs with the internal disk space calculations. This has been known to
-happen with Ultrix, but may occur with other operating systems. The symptom
-that was seen was an error of "Abort Retry Ignore" at the end of each
-directory listing. <P>
-This setting allows the replacement of the internal routines to calculate the
-total disk space and amount available with an external routine. The example
-below gives a possible script that might fulfill this function. <P>
-The external program will be passed a single parameter indicating a directory
-in the filesystem being queried. This will typically consist of the string
-"./". The script should return two integers in ascii. The first should be the
-total disk space in blocks, and the second should be the number of available
-blocks. An optional third return value can give the block size in bytes. The
-default blocksize is 1024 bytes. <P>
-Note: Your script should NOT be setuid or setgid and should be owned by
-(and writable only by) root! <P>
-<B>Default:</B> By default internal routines for determining the disk capacity
-and remaining space will be used. <P>
-<B>Example:</B> dfree command = /usr/local/samba/bin/dfree <P>
-Where the script dfree (which must be made executable) could be <P>
-<pre>
- #!/bin/sh
- df $1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $2" "$4}'
-</pre>
-or perhaps (on Sys V) <P>
-<pre>
- #!/bin/sh
- /usr/bin/df -k $1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $3" "$5}'
-</pre>
-Note that you may have to replace the command names with full path names on
-some systems. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="directory mask">directory mask (S)</A></H3>
-A synonym for this parameter is 'directory mode'. <P>
-This parameter is the octal modes which are used when converting DOS modes
-to UNIX modes when creating UNIX directories. <P>
-When a directory is created, the neccessary permissions are calculated
-according to the mapping from DOS modes to UNIX permissions, and the resulting
-UNIX mode is then bit-wise 'AND'ed with this parameter. This parameter may be
-thought of as a bit-wise MASK for the UNIX modes of a directory. Any bit *not*
-set here will be removed from the modes set on a directory when it is
-created. <P>
-The default value of this parameter removes the 'group' and 'other' write
-bits from the UNIX mode, allowing only the user who owns the directory to
-modify it. <P>
-Following this Samba will bit-wise 'OR' the UNIX mode created from this
-parameter with the value of the
-<A HREF="#force directory mode">force directory mode</A>
-parameter. This parameter is set to 000 by default (ie. no extra mode bits
-are added). <P>
-See the <A HREF="#force directory mode">force directory mode</A>
-parameter to cause particular mode bits to always be set on created
-directories. <P>
-See also the <A HREF="#create mask">create mask</A> parameter
-for masking mode bits on created files. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> directory mask = 0755 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> directory mask = 0775 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="dns proxy">dns proxy (G)</A></H3>
-Specifies that nmbd should (as a WINS server), on finding that a NetBIOS name
-has not been registered, treat the NetBIOS name word-for-word as a DNS name.<P>
-Note that the maximum length for a NetBIOS name is 15 characters, so the DNS
-name (or DNS alias) can likewise only be 15 characters, maximum. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> dns proxy = yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="domain admin users">domain admin users (G)</A></H3>
-<P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="domain controller">domain controller (G)</A></H3>
-<h4>This is wrong</h4>
-Specifies the DNS name or IP address of the machine to refer domain logons
-from Win95 machines to. You should never need to set this parameter. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> domain controller = no <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="domain groups">domain groups (G)</A></H3>
-<P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="domain guest users">domain guest users (G)</A></H3>
-<P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="domain hosts allow">domain hosts allow (G)</A></H3>
-<P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="domain hosts deny">domain hosts deny (G)</A></H3>
-<P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="domain logons">domain logons (G)</A></H3>
-If set to Yes, the Samba server will serve Windows 95 domain
-logons for the workgroup it is in. For more details on setting up this
-feature see the file DOMAINS.txt in the Samba source documentation directory.
-<P>
-<B>Default:</B> domain logons = no <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="domain master">domain master (G)</A></H3>
-Enable WAN-wide browse list collation. Local master browsers on
-broadcast-isolated subnets will give samba their local browse lists, and
-ask for a complete copy of the browse list for the whole wide area network.
-Browser clients will then contact their local master browser, and will
-receive the domain-wide browse list, instead of just the list for their
-broadcast-isolated subnet. There should only be one "domain master" for
-each workgroup name.<P>
-<B>Default:</B> domain master = no <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="domain other sid">domain other sid (G)</A></H3>
-<P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="domain sid">domain sid (G)</A></H3>
-<P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="dont descend">dont descend (S)</A></H3>
-There are certain directories on some systems (eg., the /proc tree under Linux)
-that are either not of interest to clients or are infinitely deep (recursive).
-This parameter allows you to specify a comma-delimited list of directories
-that the server should always show as empty. <P>
-Note that Samba can be very fussy about the exact format of the "dont descend"
-entries. For example you may need "./proc" instead of just "/proc".
-Experimentation is the best policy :-) <P>
-<B>Default:</B> none (i.e., all directories are OK to descend) <P>
-<B>Example:</B> dont descend = /proc,/dev <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="dos filetimes">dos filetimes (S)</A></H3>
-Under DOS and Windows, if a user can write to a file they can change the
-timestamp on it. Under POSIX semantics, only the owner of the file or root
-may change the timestamp. By default, Samba runs with POSIX semantics and
-refuses to change the timestamp on a file if the user smbd is acting on
-behalf of is not the file owner. Setting this option to Yes allows DOS
-semantics and smbd will change the file timstamp as DOS requires. This is a
-correct implementation of a previous compile-time options (UTIME_WORKAROUND)
-which was broken and is now removed. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> dos filetimes = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> dos filetimes = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="dos filetime resolution">dos filetime resolution (S)</A></H3>
-Under the DOS and Windows FAT filesystem, the finest granulatity on time
-resolution is two seconds. Setting this parameter for a share causes Samba
-to round the reported time down to the nearest two second boundary when a
-query call that requires one second resolution is made to smbd. <P>
-This option is mainly used as a compatibility option for Visual C++ when
-used against Samba shares. If oplocks are enabled on a share, Visual C++
-uses two different time reading calls to check if a file has changed since
-it was last read. One of these calls uses a one-second granularity, the
-other uses a two second granularity. As the two second call rounds any odd
-second down, then if the file has a timestamp of an odd number of seconds
-then the two timestamps will not match and Visual C++ will keep reporting
-the file has changed. Setting this option causes the two timestamps to
-match, and Visual C++ is happy. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> dos filetime resolution = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> dos filetime resolution = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="encrypt passwords">encrypt passwords (G)</A></H3>
-This boolean controls whether encrypted passwords will be negotiated with
-the client. Note that Windows NT 4.0 SP3 and above will by default expect
-encrypted passwords unless a registry entry is changed. To use encrypted
-passwords in Samba see the file docs/ENCRYPTION.txt. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> encrypt passwords = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="exec">exec (S)</A></H3>
-A synonym for this is preexec. <P>
-This option specifies a command to be run whenever a connection is made to
-the service. It takes the usual substitutions. <P>
-An interesting example is to send the users a welcome message every time
-they log in. Maybe a message of the day? Here is an example: <P>
-exec = csh -c 'echo \"Welcome to %S!\" | \ /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -M %m -I %I' &amp; <P>
-Of course, this could get annoying after a while :-) <P>
-See also <A HREF="#postexec">postexec</A> <P>
-<B>Default:</B> none (no command executed) <P>
-<B>Example:</B> exec = echo \"%u connected to %S from %m (%I)\" &gt;&gt; /tmp/log <P>
-
-
-<H3><A NAME="fake directory create times">fake directory create times (S)</A></H3>
-NTFS and Windows VFAT file systems keep a create time for all files and
-directories. This is not the same as the ctime - status change time - that
-Unix keeps, so Samba by default reports the earliest of the various times
-Unix does keep. Setting this parameter for a share causes Samba to always
-report midnight 1-1-1980 as the create time for directories. <P>
-This option is mainly used as a compatibility option for Visual C++
-when used against Samba shares. Visual C++ generated makefiles have the
-object directory as a dependency for each object file, and a make rule
-to create the directory. Also, when NMAKE compares timestamps it uses the
-creation time when examining a directory. Thus the object directory will
-be created if it does not exist, but once it does exist it will always
-have an earlier timestamp than the object files it contains. <P>
-However, Unix time semantics mean that the create time reported by Samba
-will be updated whenever a file is created or deleted in the directory.
-NMAKE therefore finds all object files in the object directory bar the last
-one built are out of date compared to the directory and rebuilds them.
-Enabling this option ensures directories always predate their contents and
-an NMAKE build will proceed as expected. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> fake directory create times = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> fake directory create times = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="fake oplocks">fake oplocks (S)</A></H3>
-Oplocks are the way that SMB clients get permission from a server to locally
-cache file operations. If a server grants an oplock (opportunistic
-lock) then the client is free to assume that it is the only one accessing
-the file and it will aggressively cache file data. With some oplock types
-the client may even cache file open/close operations. This can give enormous
-performance benefits. <P>
-When you set "fake oplocks = yes" Samba will always grant oplock requests
-no matter how many clients are using the file. <P>
-By enabling this option on all read-only shares or shares that you know
-will only be accessed from one client at a time you will see a big performance
-improvement on many operations. If you enable this option on shares where
-multiple clients may be accessing the files read-write at the same time
-you can get data corruption. Use this option carefully! <P>
-It is generally much better to use the real oplock support except for
-physically read-only media such as CDROMs. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> fake oplocks = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> fake oplocks = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="follow symlinks">follow symlinks (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter allows the Samba administrator to stop smbd from following
-symbolic links in a particular share. Setting this parameter to "No" prevents
-any file or directory that is a symbolic link from being followed (the
-user will get an error). This option is very useful to stop users from
-adding a symbolic link to /etc/pasword in their home directory for instance.
-However it will slow filename lookups down slightly. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> follow symlinks = Yes (smbd will follow symbolic links)<P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="force create mode">force create mode (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter specifies a set of UNIX mode bit permissions that will *always*
-be set on a file created by Samba. This is done by bitwise 'OR'ing these
-bits onto the mode bits of a file that is being created. The modes in this
-parameter are bitwise 'OR'ed onto the file mode after the mask set in the
-<A HREF="#create mask">create mask</A> parameter is applied. <P>
-See also the parameter <A HREF="#create mask">create mask</A> for details
-on masking mode bits on created files. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> force create mode = 000 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> force create mode = 0755 <P>
-would force all created files to have read and execute permissions set for
-'group' and 'other' as well as the read/write/execute bits set for the
-'user'. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="force directory mode">force directory mode (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter specifies a set of UNIX mode bit permissions that will *always*
-be set on a directory created by Samba. This is done by bitwise 'OR'ing these
-bits onto the mode bits of a directory that is being created. The default for
-this parameter is (in octel) 0000 which will not add any extra permission bits
-to a created directory. This operation is done after the mode mask in the
-parameter <A HREF="#directory mask">directory mask</A> is applied. <P>
-See also the parameter <A HREF="#directory mask">directory mask</A>
-for details on masking mode bits on created directories. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> force directory mode = 000 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> force directory mode = 0755 <P>
-would force all created directories to have read and execute permissions
-set for 'group' and 'other' as well as the read/write/execute bits set for
-the 'user'. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="force group">force group (S)</A></H3>
-This specifies a group name that all connections to this service should be
-made as. This may be useful for sharing files. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> no forced group <P>
-<B>Example:</B> force group = agroup <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="force user">force user (S)</A></H3>
-This specifies a user name that all connections to this service should be
-made as. This may be useful for sharing files. You should also use it
-carefully as using it incorrectly can cause security problems. <P>
-This user name only gets used once a connection is established. Thus clients
-still need to connect as a valid user and supply a valid password. Once
-connected, all file operations will be performed as the "forced user",
-no matter what username the client connected as. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> no forced user <P>
-<B>Example:</B> force user = auser <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="getwd cache">getwd cache (G)</A></H3>
-This is a tuning option. When this is enabled a cacheing algorithm will be
-used to reduce the time taken for getwd() calls. This can have a significant
-impact on performance, especially when widelinks is No. <P>
-<B>Default:</B>getwd cache = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B>getwd cache = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="guest account">guest account (S)</A></H3>
-This is a username which will be used for access to services which are
-specified as <A HREF="#guest ok">guest ok</A>. Whatever privileges this
-user has will be available to any client connecting to the guest service.
-Typically this user will exist in the password file, but will not have a
-valid login. If a username is specified in a given service, the specified
-username overrides this one. <P>
-One some systems the account "nobody" may not be able to print. Use another
-account in this case. You should test this by trying to log in as your
-guest user (perhaps by using the "su -" command) and trying to print using
-<B>lpr</B>. <P>
-Note that as of version 1.9 of Samba this option may be set differently
-for each service. <P>
-<B>Default:</B>specified at compile time <P>
-<B>Example:</B>guest account = nobody
-
-<H3><A NAME="guest ok">guest ok (S)</A></H3>
-A synonym for this parameter is 'public'. <P>
-If this parameter is 'Yes' for a service, then no password is required
-to connect to the service. Privileges will be those of the guest account. <P>
-See the section below on
-<A HREF="#USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION">USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION</A>
-for more information about this option. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> guest ok = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> guest ok = Yes
-
-<H3><A NAME="guest only">guest only (S)</A></H3>
-If this parameter is 'Yes' for a service, then only guest connections to the
-service are permitted. This parameter will have no affect if
-<A HREF="#guest ok">guest ok</A> is not set for the service. <P>
-See the section below on
-<A HREF="#USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION">USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION</A> for
-more information about this option. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> guest only = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> guest only = Yes
-
-<H3><A NAME="hide dot files">hide dot files (S)</A></H3>
-This is a boolean parameter that controls whether files starting with a dot
-appear as hidden files. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> hide dot files = Yes <P>
-<B>Example:</B> hide dot files = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="hide files">hide files (S)</A></H3>
-This is a list of files or directories that are not visible but are accessible.
-The DOS 'hidden' attribute is applied to any files or directories that match.<P>
-Each entry in the list must be separated by a "/", which allows spaces
-to be included in the entry. '*' and '?' can be used to specify multiple
-files or directories as in DOS wildcards. <P>
-Each entry must be a unix path, not a DOS path and must not include the unix
-directory separator "/". <P>
-Note that the case sensitivity option is applicable in hiding files. <P>
-Setting this parameter will affect the performance of Samba, as it will
-be forced to check all files and directories for a match as they are scanned.<P>
-See also <A HREF="#hide dot files">hide dot files</A>,
-<A HREF="#veto files">veto files</A> and
-<A HREF="#case sensitive">case sensitive</A> <P>
-<B>Default</B> No files or directories are hidden by this option
-(dot files are hidden by default because of the "hide dot files" option). <P>
-<B>Example</B> hide files = /.*/DesktopFolderDB/TrashFor%m/resource.frk/ <P>
-The above example is based on files that the Macintosh client (DAVE) creates
-for internal use, and also still hides all files beginning with a dot. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="homedir map">homedir map (G)</A></H3>
-If <A HREF="#NIS homedir">NIS homedir</A> is Yes, this parameter specifies
-the NIS (or YP) map from which the server for the user's home directory should
-be extracted. At present, only the Sun auto.home map format is understood.
-The form of the map is: <P>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;username server:/some/file/system <P>
-and the program will extract the servername from before the first ':'. There
-should probably be a better parsing system that copes with different map
-formats and also Amd (another automounter) maps. <P>
-NB: The -DNETGROUP option is required in the Makefile for option
-to work and on some architectures the line -lrpcsvc needs to be added to
-the LIBSM variable. This is required for Solaris 2, FreeBSD and HPUX. <P>
-See also <A HREF="#NIS homedir">NIS homedir</A> <P>
-<B>Default:</B> homedir map = auto.home <P>
-<B>Example:</B> homedir map = amd.homedir
-
-<H3><A NAME="hosts allow">hosts allow (S)</A></H3>
-A synonym for this parameter is 'allow hosts'. <P>
-This parameter is a comma delimited set of hosts which are permitted to access
-a service. <P>
-If specified in the [global] section then it will apply to all services,
-regardless of whether the individual service has a different setting. <P>
-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
-"hosts allow = 150.203.5.". <P>
-You can also specify hosts by network/netmask pairs and by netgroup names
-if your system supports netgroups. The EXCEPT keyword can also be used
-to limit a wildcard list. The following examples may provide some help: <P>
-Example 1: allow all IPs in 150.203.*.* except one <P>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;hosts allow = 150.203. EXCEPT 150.203.6.66 <P>
-Example 2: allow hosts that match the given network/netmask <P>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;hosts allow = 150.203.15.0/255.255.255.0 <P>
-Example 3: allow a couple of hosts <P>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;hosts allow = lapland, arvidsjaur <P>
-Example 4: allow only hosts in netgroup "foonet" or localhost, but deny
-access from one particular host <P>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;hosts allow = @foonet, localhost<P>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;hosts deny = pirate <P>
-Note that access still requires suitable user-level passwords. <P>
-See <B>testparm</B>(1) for a way of testing your host access to see if it
-does what you expect. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> none (i.e., all hosts permitted access) <P>
-<B>Example:</B> hosts allow = 150.203.5. myhost.mynet.edu.au<P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="hosts deny">hosts deny (S)</A></H3>
-A synonym for this parameter is 'deny hosts'. <P>
-This is the opposite of <A HREF="#hosts allow">hosts allow</A> - hosts listed
-here are NOT permitted access to services unless the specific services have
-their own lists to override this one. Where the lists conflict, the 'allow'
-list takes precedence. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> none (i.e., no hosts specifically excluded) <P>
-<B>Example:</B>hosts deny = 150.203.4. badhost.mynet.edu.au <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="hosts equiv">hosts equiv (G)</A></H3>
-If this global parameter is a non-null string, it specifies the name of a
-file to read for the names of hosts and users who will be allowed access
-without specifying a password. <P>
-This is not be confused with <A HREF="#hosts allow">hosts allow</A> which is
-about hosts access to services and is more useful for guest services.
-<B>hosts equiv</B> may be useful for NT clients which will not supply
-passwords to samba. <P>
-NOTE: The use of hosts.equiv can be a major security hole. This is because you
-are trusting the PC to supply the correct username. It is very easy to get a
-PC to supply a false username. I recommend that the hosts.equiv option be
-only used if you really know what you are doing, or perhaps on a home network
-where you trust your wife and kids :-) <P>
-<B>Default</B> No host equivalences <P>
-<B>Example</B> hosts equiv = /etc/hosts.equiv <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="include">include (G)</A></H3>
-This allows you to include one config file
-inside another. The file is included literally, as though typed in place. <P>
-It takes the standard substitutions, except %u, %P and %S <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="interfaces">interfaces (G)</A></H3>
-This option allows you to setup multiple network interfaces, so that
-Samba can properly handle browsing on all interfaces. <P>
-The option takes a list of ip/netmask pairs. The netmask may either be a
-bitmask, or a bitlength. <P>
-For example, the following line: <P>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;interfaces = 192.168.2.10/24 192.168.3.10/24 <P>
-would configure two network interfaces with IP addresses 192.168.2.10 and
-192.168.3.10. The netmasks of both interfaces would be set to 255.255.255.0.<P>
-You could produce an equivalent result by using: <P>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;interfaces = 192.168.2.10/255.255.255.0 192.168.3.10/255.255.255.0<P>
-if you prefer that format. <P>
-If this option is not set then Samba will attempt to find a primary interface,
-but won't attempt to configure more than one interface. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="invalid users">invalid users (S)</A></H3>
-This is a list of users that should not be allowed to login to this service.
-This is really a "paranoid" check to absolutely ensure an improper setting
-does not breach your security. <P>
-A name starting with @ is interpreted as a UNIX group. <P>
-The current servicename is substituted for %S. This is useful in the [homes]
-section. <P>
-See also <A HREF="#valid users">valid users</A> <P>
-<B>Default</B> No invalid users <P>
-<B>Example</B> invalid users = root fred admin @wheel <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="keepalive">keepalive (G)</A></H3>
-The value of the parameter (an integer) represents the number of seconds
-between 'keepalive' packets. If this parameter is zero, no keepalive packets
-will be sent. Keepalive packets, if sent, allow the server to tell whether a
-client is still present and responding. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> keep alive = 300 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> keep alive = 60 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="lm announce">lm announce (G)</A></H3>
-This parameter determines if Samba will produce Lanman announce broadcasts
-that are needed by OS/2 clients in order for them to see the Samba server in
-their browse list. This parameter can have three values, True, False, or Auto.
-The default is Auto. If set to False Samba will never produce these broadcasts.
-If set to True Samba will produce Lanman announce broadcasts at a frequency
-set by the parameter <A HREF="#lm interval">lm interval</A>. If set to Auto
-Samba will not send Lanman announce broadcasts by default but will listen for
-them. If it hears such a broadcast on the wire it will then start sending
-them at a frequency set by the 'lm interval' parameter<P>
-See also <A HREF="#lm interval">lm interval</A>. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> lm announce = Auto <P>
-<B>Example:</B> lm announce = True <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="lm interval">lm interval (G)</A></H3>
-If Samba is set to produce Lanman announce broadcasts needed by OS/2 clients
-(see the <A HREF="#lm announce">lm announce</A> parameter) this
-parameter defines the frequency in seconds with which they will be made.
-If this is set to zero then no Lanman announcements will be made despite
-the setting of the <A HREF="#lm announce">lm announce</A> parameter. <P>
-See also <A HREF="#lm announce">lm announce</A>. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> lm interval = 60 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> lm interval = 120 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="load printers">load printers (G)</A></H3>
-A boolean variable that controls whether all printers in the printcap
-will be loaded for browsing by default. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> load printers = Yes <P>
-<B>Example:</B> load printers = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="local master">local master (G)</A></H3>
-This option allows nmbd to become a local master browser on a subnet. If set
-to No then nmbd will not attempt to become a local master browser on a subnet
-and will also lose in all browsing elections. By default this value is set
-to Yes. Setting this value to Yes doesn't mean that Samba will become the local
-master browser on a subnet, just that the nmbd will participate in elections
-for local master browser. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> local master = yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="lock dir">lock dir (G)</A></H3>
-This option specifies the directory where lock files will be placed.
-The lock files are used to implement the
-<A HREF="#max connections">max connections</A> option. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> lock dir = /tmp/samba <P>
-<B>Example:</B> lock dir = /usr/local/samba/var/locks <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="locking">locking (S)</A></H3>
-This controls whether or not locking will be performed by the server in
-response to lock requests from the client. <P>
-If set to No, all lock and unlock requests will appear to succeed and all
-lock queries will indicate that the queried lock is clear. <P>
-If set to Yes, real locking will be performed by the server. <P>
-This option may be particularly useful for read-only filesystems which do not
-need locking (such as CDROM drives). <P>
-Be careful about disabling locking either globally or in a specific
-service, as lack of locking may result in data corruption. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> locking = Yes <P>
-<B>Example:</B> locking = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="log file">log file (G)</A></H3>
-This options allows you to override the name of the Samba log file (also
-known as the debug file). <P>
-This option takes the standard substitutions, allowing you to have separate
-log files for each user or machine. <P>
-<B>Example:</B> log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="log level">log level (G)</A></H3>
-A synonym for this is debuglevel<P>
-The value of the parameter (an integer) allows the logging level (debug level)
-to be specified in the <B>smb.conf</B> file. This is to give greater
-flexibility in the configuration of the system. <P>
-The default will be the logging level specified on the command line. <P>
-<B>Example:</B> log level = 3
-
-<H3><A NAME="logon drive">logon drive (G)</A></H3>
-This parameter specifies the local path to which the home directory will be
-connected (see <A HREF="#logon home">logon home</A>) and is only used by NT
-Workstations. <P>
-<B>Example:</B> logon drive = h: <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="logon home">logon home (G)</A></H3>
-This parameter specifies the home directory location when a Win95 or NT
-Workstation logs into a Samba PDC. It allows you to do "NET USE H: /HOME"
-from a command prompt, for example. <P>
-This option takes the standard substitutions, allowing you to have separate
-logon scripts for each user or machine. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> logon home = "\\%N\%U" <P>
-<B>Example:</B> logon home = "\\remote_smb_server\%U" <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="logon path">logon path (G)</A></H3>
-This parameter specifies the home directory where roaming profiles (USER.DAT
-/ USER.MAN files for Windows 95) are stored. <P>
-This option takes the standard substitutions, allowing you to have separate
-logon scripts for each user or machine. It also specifies the directory from
-which the "desktop", "start menu", "nethood" and "programs" folders, and their
-contents, are loaded and displayed on your Windows 95 client. <P>
-The share and the path must be readable by the user for the preferences and
-directories to be loaded onto the Windows 95 client. The share must be
-writeable when the user logs in for the first time, in order that the
-Windows 95 client can create the user.dat and other directories. <P>
-Thereafter, the directories and any of contents can, if required, be
-made read-only. It is not adviseable that the USER.DAT file be made read-only
-- rename it to USER.MAN to achieve the desired effect (a MANdatory profile). <P>
-Windows clients can sometimes maintain a connection to the [homes] share,
-even though there is no user logged in. Therefore, it is vital that the
-logon path does not include a reference to the homes share (i.e
-\\%N\HOMESprofile_path will cause problems). <P>
-This option takes the standard substitutions, allowing you to have separate
-logon scripts for each user or machine. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> logon path = \\%N\%U\profile <P>
-<B>Example:</B> logon path = \\PROFILESERVER\HOME_DIR\%U\PROFILE <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="logon script">logon script (G)</A></H3>
-This parameter specifies the batch file (.bat) or NT command file (.cmd) to
-be downloaded and run on a machine when a user successfully logs in. The file
-must contain the DOS style cr/lf line endings. Using a DOS-style editor to
-create the file is recommended. <P>
-The script must be a relative path to the [netlogon] service. If the
-[netlogon] service specifies a path of /usr/local/samba/netlogon, and logon
-script = STARTUP.BAT, then file that will be downloaded is: <P>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>/usr/local/samba/netlogon/STARTUP.BAT</B> <P>
-The contents of the batch file is entirely your choice. A suggested command
-would be to add NET TIME \\SERVER /SET /YES, to force every machine to
-synchronise clocks with the same time server. Another use would be to add
-NET USE U: \\SERVER\UTILS for commonly used utilities, or
-NET USE Q: \\SERVER\ISO9001_QA. <P>
-Note that it is particularly important not to allow write access to the
-[netlogon] share, or to grant users write permission on the batch files
-in a secure environment, as this would allow the batch files to be arbitrarily
-modified. <P>
-This option takes the standard substitutions, allowing you to have separate
-logon scripts for each user or machine. <P>
-<B>Example:</B> logon script = scripts/%U.bat <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="lppause command">lppause command (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter specifies the command to be executed on the server host in
-order to stop printing or spooling a specific print job. <P>
-This command should be a program or script which takes a printer name and
-job number to pause the print job. Currently I don't know of any print spooler
-system that can do this with a simple option, except for the PPR system from
-Trinity College (ppr-dist.trincoll.edu/pub/ppr). One way of implementing this
-is by using job priorities, where jobs having a too low priority won't be
-sent to the printer. See also
-<A HREF="#lpresume command">lpresume command</A>.<P>
-If a %p is given then the printername is put in its place. A %j is replaced
-with the job number (an integer). On HPUX (see
-<A HREF="#printing">printing</A>=hpux), if the -p%p
-option is added to the lpq command, the job will show up with the correct
-status, i.e. if the job priority is lower than the set fence priority it
-will have the PAUSED status, whereas if the priority is equal or higher
-it will have the SPOOLED or PRINTING status. <P>
-Note that it is good practice to include the absolute path in the lppause
-command as the PATH may not be available to the server. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> Currently no default value is given to this string <P>
-<B>Example for HPUX:</B> lppause command = /usr/bin/lpalt %p-%j -p0 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="lpq cache time">lpq cache time (G)</A></H3>
-This controls how long lpq info will be cached for to prevent the lpq command
-being called too often. A separate cache is kept for each variation of the
-lpq command used by the system, so if you use different lpq commands for
-different users then they won't share cache information. <P>
-The cache files are stored in /tmp/lpq.xxxx where xxxx is a hash of the lpq
-command in use. <P>
-The default is 10 seconds, meaning that the cached results of a previous
-identical lpq command will be used if the cached data is less than 10 seconds
-old. A large value may be advisable if your lpq command is very slow. <P>
-A value of 0 will disable cacheing completely. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> lpq cache time = 10 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> lpq cache time = 30 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="lpq command">lpq command (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter specifies the command to be executed on the server host
-in order to obtain "lpq"-style printer status information. <P>
-This command should be a program or script which takes a printer name as its
-only parameter and outputs printer status information. <P>
-Currently six styles of printer status information are supported; BSD, SYSV,
-AIX, HPUX, QNX, LPRNG and PLP. This covers most UNIX systems. You control
-which type is expected using the <A HREF="#printing">printing</A> option. <P>
-Some clients (notably Windows for Workgroups) may not correctly send the
-connection number for the printer they are requesting status information
-about. To get around this, the server reports on the first printer service
-connected to by the client. This only happens if the connection number sent
-is invalid. <P>
-If a %p is given then the printername is put in its place. Otherwise it is
-placed at the end of the command. <P>
-Note that it is good practice to include the absolute path in the lpq
-command as the PATH may not be available to the server. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> depends on the setting of <A HREF="#printing">printing</A><P>
-<B>Example:</B> lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq %p <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="lpresume command">lpresume command (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter specifies the command to be executed on the server host in
-order to restart or continue printing or spooling a specific print job. <P>
-This command should be a program or script which takes a printer name and
-job number to resume the print job. See also the
-<A HREF="#lppause command">lppause command</A>. <P>
-If a %p is given then the printername is put in its place.
-A %j is replaced with the job number (an integer). <P>
-Note that it is good practice to include the absolute path in the lpresume
-command as the PATH may not be available to the server. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> Currently no default value is given to this string <P>
-<B>Example for HPUX:</B> lpresume command = /usr/bin/lpalt %p-%j -p2 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="lprm command">lprm command (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter specifies the command to be executed on the server host in
-order to delete a print job. <P>
-This command should be a program or script which takes a printer name
-and job number, and deletes the print job. <P>
-Currently seven styles of printer control are supported; BSD, SYSV, AIX HPUX,
-QNX, LPRNG and PLP. This covers most UNIX systems. You control which type is
-expected using the <A HREF="#printing">printing</A> option. <P>
-If a %p is given then the printername is put in its place. A
-%j is replaced with the job number (an integer). <P>
-Note that it is good practice to include the absolute path in the lprm
-command as the PATH may not be available to the server. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> depends on the setting of <A HREF="#printing">printing</A><P>
-<B>Example 1:</B>lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j <P>
-<B>Example 2:</B>lprm command = /usr/bin/cancel %p-%j <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="magic output">magic output (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter specifies the name of a file which will contain output
-created by a magic script (see <A HREF="#magic script">magic script</A>
-below). <P>
-Warning: If two clients use the same magic script in the same directory the
-output file content is undefined. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> magic output = &lt;magic script name&gt;.out <P>
-<B>Example:</B> magic output = myfile.txt <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="magic script">magic script (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter specifies the name of a file which, if opened, will be
-executed by the server when the file is closed. This allows a UNIX script to
-be sent to the Samba host and executed on behalf of the connected user. <P>
-Scripts executed in this way will be deleted upon completion, permissions
-permitting. <P>
-If the script generates output, output will be sent to the file specified by
-the <A HREF="#magic output">magic output</A> parameter. <P>
-Note that some shells are unable to interpret scripts containing
-carriage-return-linefeed instead of linefeed as the end-of-line marker. Magic
-scripts must be executable "as is" on the host, which for some hosts and
-some shells will require filtering at the DOS end. <P>
-Magic scripts are EXPERIMENTAL and should NOT be relied upon. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> None. Magic scripts disabled. <P>
-<B>Example:</B> magic script = user.csh <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="mangle case">mangle case (S)</A></H3>
-Controls if names that have characters that aren't of the "default" case are
-mangled. <P>
-See the section on <A HREF="#NAME MANGLING">NAME MANGLING</A> <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="mangled map">mangled map (S)</A></H3>
-This is for those who want to directly map UNIX file names which are not
-representable on DOS. The mangling of names is not always what is needed. In
-particular you may have documents with file extensions that differ between
-DOS and UNIX. For example, under UNIX it is common to use .html for HTML
-files, whereas under DOS .htm is more commonly used. <P>
-So to map 'html' to 'htm' you put: <P>
-mangled map = (*.html *.htm) <P>
-One very useful case is to remove the annoying ;1 off the ends of filenames
-on some CDROMS (only visible under some UNIXes). To do this use a map of
-(*;1 *) <P>
-<B>default:</B> no mangled map <P>
-<B>Example:</B> mangled map = (*;1 *) <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="mangled names">mangled names (S)</A></H3>
-This controls whether non-DOS names under UNIX should be mapped
-to DOS-compatible names ("mangled") and made visible, or whether non-DOS
-names should simply be ignored. <P>
-See the section on <A HREF="#NAME MANGLING">NAME MANGLING</A> for
-details on how to control the mangling process. <P>
-If mangling is used then the mangling algorithm is as follows:
-<blockquote>- the first (up to) five alphanumeric characters before the
-rightmost dot of the filename are preserved, forced to upper case, and appear
-as the first (up to) five characters of the mangled name. <P>
-- a tilde ("~") is appended to the first part of the mangled name, followed
-by a two-character unique sequence, based on the original root name (i.e.,
-the original filename minus its final extension). The final
-extension is included in the hash calculation only if it contains any
-upper case characters or is longer than three characters. <P>
-Note that the character to use may be specified using the
-<A HREF="#mangling char">mangling char</A> option, if you don't like ~. <P>
-- the first three alphanumeric characters of the final
-extension are preserved, forced to upper case and appear as the extension
-of the mangled name. The final extension is defined as that part of the
-original filename after the rightmost dot. If there are no dots in the
-filename, the mangled name will have no extension (except in the case
-of hidden files - see below). <P>
-- files whose UNIX name begins with a dot will be presented as DOS hidden
-files. The mangled name will be created as for other filenames, but with the
-leading dot removed and "___" as its extension regardless of actual original
-extension (that's three underscores).
-</blockquote>
-The two-digit hash value consists of upper case alphanumeric characters. <P>
-This algorithm can cause name collisions only if files in a directory
-share the same first five alphanumeric characters. The probability of such
-a clash is 1/1300. <P>
-The name mangling (if enabled) allows a file to be copied between UNIX
-directories from DOS while retaining the long UNIX filename. UNIX files can
-be renamed to a new extension from DOS and will retain the same basename.
-Mangled names do not change between sessions. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> mangled names = Yes <P>
-<B>Example:</B> mangled names = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="mangling char">mangling char (S)</A></H3>
-This controls what character is used as the "magic" character
-in name mangling. The default is a ~ but this may interfere with some software.
-Use this option to set it to whatever you prefer. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> mangling char = ~ <P>
-<B>Example:</B> mangling char = ^ <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="mangled stack">mangled stack (G)</A></H3>
-This parameter controls the number of mangled names that should be cached in
-the Samba server. <P>
-This stack is a list of recently mangled base names (extensions are only
-maintained if they are longer than 3 characters or contains upper case
-characters). <P>
-The larger this value, the more likely it is that mangled
-names can be successfully converted to correct long UNIX names. However,
-large stack sizes will slow most directory access. Smaller stacks save
-memory in the server (each stack element costs 256 bytes). <P>
-It is not possible to absolutely guarantee correct long file names, so be
-prepared for some surprises! <P>
-<B>Default:</B> mangled stack = 50 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> mangled stack = 100 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="map archive">map archive (S)</A></H3>
-This controls whether the DOS archive attribute should
-be mapped to the UNIX owner execute bit. The DOS archive bit is set when
-a file has been modified since its last backup. One motivation for this
-option it to keep Samba/your PC from making any file it touches from becoming
-executable under UNIX. This can be quite annoying for shared source code,
-documents, etc... <P>
-Note that this requires the 'create mask' to be set such
-that owner execute bit is not masked out (ie. it must include 100). See
-the parameter <A HREF="#create mask">create mask</A> for details. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> map archive = Yes <P>
-<B>Example:</B> map archive = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="map hidden">map hidden (S)</A></H3>
-This controls whether DOS style hidden files should be mapped to the UNIX
-world execute bit. <P>
-Note that this requires the 'create mask' to be set such that the world
-execute bit is not masked out (ie. it must include 001). See the parameter
-<A HREF="#create mask">create mask</A> for details. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> map hidden = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> map hidden = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="map system">map system (S)</A></H3>
-This controls whether DOS style system files should be mapped to the UNIX
-group execute bit. <P>
-Note that this requires the 'create mask' to be set such that the group
-execute bit is not masked out (ie. it must include 010). See the parameter
-<A HREF="#create mask">create mask</A> for details. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> map system = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> map system = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="max connections">max connections (S)</A></H3>
-This option allows the number of simultaneous connections to a service to be
-limited. If "max connections" is greater than 0 then connections will be
-refused if this number of connections to the service are already open. A value
-of zero mean an unlimited number of connections may be made. <P>
-Record lock files are used to implement this feature. The lock files will be
-stored in the directory specified by the
-<A HREF="#lock dir">lock dir</A> option. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> max connections = 0 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> max connections = 10 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="max disk size">max disk size (G)</A></H3>
-This option allows you to put an upper limit on the apparent size of disks.
-If you set this option to 100 then all shares will appear to be not larger
-than 100 MB in size. <P>
-Note that this option does not limit the amount of data you can put on the
-disk. In the above case you could still store much more than 100 MB on the
-disk, but if a client ever asks for the amount of free disk space or the
-total disk size then the result will be bounded by the amount specified in
-"max disk size". <P>
-This option is primarily useful to work around bugs in some pieces of
-software that can't handle very large disks, particularly disks over 1GB in
-size. <P>
-A "max disk size" of 0 means no limit. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> max disk size = 0 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> max disk size = 1000 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="max log size">max log size (G)</A></H3>
-This option (an integer in kilobytes) specifies the max size
-the log file should grow to. Samba periodically checks the size and if
-it is exceeded it will rename the file, adding a .old extension. <P>
-A size of 0 means no limit. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> max log size = 5000 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> max log size = 1000 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="max mux">max mux (G)</A></H3>
-This option controls the maximum number of outstanding simultaneous SMB
-operations that samba tells the client it will allow. You should never need
-to set this parameter. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> max mux = 50 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="max packet">max packet (G)</A></H3>
-A synonym for this parameter is 'packet size'. <P>
-The maximum transmit packet size during a raw read. This option is no longer
-implemented as of version 1.7.00, and is kept only so old configuration files
-do not become invalid. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="max ttl">max ttl (G)</A></H3>
-This option tells nmbd what the default 'time to live' of NetBIOS names should
-be (in seconds) when nmbd is requesting a name using either a broadcast
-or from a WINS server. You should never need to change this parameter. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> max ttl = 14400 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="max wins ttl">max wins ttl (G)</A></H3>
-This option tells nmbd when acting as a WINS server
-(<A HREF="#wins support">wins support</A> = Yes) what the maximum 'time to
-live' of NetBIOS names that nmbd will grant will be (in seconds). You should
-never need to change this parameter. The default is 3 days (259200
-seconds). <P>
-<B>Default:</B> max wins ttl = 259200 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="max xmit">max xmit (G)</A></H3>
-This option controls the maximum packet size that will be negotiated by
-Samba. The default is 65535, which is the maximum. In some cases you may find
-you get better performance with a smaller value. A value below 2048 is likely
-to cause problems. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> max xmit = 65535 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> max xmit = 8192 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="message command">message command (G)</A></H3>
-This specifies what command to run when the server receives a WinPopup style
-message. <P>
-This would normally be a command that would deliver the message somehow.
-How this is to be done is up to your imagination. <P>
-What I use is: <P>
-message command = csh -c 'xedit %s;rm %s' &amp; <P>
-This delivers the message using xedit, then removes it afterwards. NOTE
-THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS COMMAND RETURN IMMEDIATELY. That's why
-I have the &amp; on the end. If it doesn't return immediately then your PCs may
-freeze when sending messages (they should recover after 30secs, hopefully). <P>
-All messages are delivered as the global guest user. The command takes
-the standard substitutions, although %u won't work (%U may be better in
-this case). <P>
-Apart from the standard substitutions, some additional ones apply. In
-particular: <P>
-%s = the filename containing the message <P>
-%t = the destination that the message was sent to (probably the server name) <P>
-%f = who the message is from <P>
-You could make this command send mail, or whatever else takes your fancy.
-Please let me know of any really interesting ideas you have. <P>
-Here's a way of sending the messages as mail to root: <P>
-message command = /bin/mail -s 'message from %f on %m' root &lt; %s; rm %s <P>
-If you don't have a message command then the message won't be delivered and
-Samba will tell the sender there was an error. Unfortunately WfWg totally
-ignores the error code and carries on regardless, saying that the message was
-delivered. <P>
-If you want to silently delete it then try "message command = rm %s". <P>
-For the really adventurous, try something like this: <P>
-message command = csh -c 'csh &lt; %s |&amp; /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient \
- -M %m; rm %s' &amp; <P>
-this would execute the command as a script on the server,
-then give them the result in a WinPopup message. Note that this could cause
-a loop if you send a message from the server using smbclient! You better
-wrap the above in a script that checks for this :-) <P>
-<B>Default:</B> no message command <P>
-<B>Example:</B> message command = csh -c 'xedit %s;rm %s' &amp; <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="min print space">min print space (S)</A></H3>
-This sets the minimum amount of free disk space that must
-be available before a user will be able to spool a print job. It is specified
-in kilobytes. The default is 0, which means no limit. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> min print space = 0 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> min print space = 2000 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="min wins ttl">min wins ttl (G)</A></H3>
-This option tells nmbd when acting as a WINS server
-(<A HREF="#wins support">wins support</A> = Yes) what the
-minimum 'time to live' of NetBIOS names that nmbd will grant will be (in
-seconds). You should never need to change this parameter. The default is
-6 hours (21600 seconds). <P>
-<B>Default:</B> min wins ttl = 21600 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="name resolve order">name resolve order (G)</A></H3>
-This option is used by the programs smbd, nmbd and smbclient
-to determine what naming services and in what order to resolve host names
-to IP addresses. This option is most useful in smbclient. The option takes
-a space separated string of different name resolution options. These are
-"lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast". They cause names to be resolved
-as follows : <P>
-<pre>
-lmhosts Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file.
-host Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using the
- system /etc/hosts, NIS, or DNS lookups. This method of name
- resolution is operating system depended (for instance on Solaris
- this may be controlled by the /etc/nsswitch.conf file).
-wins Query a name with the IP address listed in the "wins server ="
- parameter. If no WINS server has been specified this method will
- be ignored.
-bcast Do a broadcast on each of the known local
- interfaces listed in the "interfaces =" parameter. This is the
- least reliable of the name resolution methods as it depends
- on the target host being on a locally connected subnet.
-</pre>
-The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast and these name resolution
-methods will be attempted in this order. <P>
-This option was first introduced in Samba 1.9.18p4. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast <P>
-<B>example:</B> name resolve order = lmhosts bcast host <P>
-This will cause the local lmhosts file to be examined first, followed by a
-broadcast attempt, followed by a normal system hostname lookup. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="netbios aliases">netbios aliases (G)</A></H3>
-This is a list of names that nmbd will advertise as additional names by which
-the Samba server is known. This allows one machine to appear in browse
-lists under multiple names. If a machine is acting as a browse server or
-logon server none of these names will be advertised as either browse server
-or logon servers, only the primary name of the machine will be advertised
-with these capabilities. <P>
-See also <A HREF="#netbios name">netbios name</A>. <P>
-<B>Example:</B>netbios aliases = TEST TEST1 TEST2 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="netbios name">netbios name (G)</A></H3>
-This sets the NetBIOS name by which a Samba server is known. By default it is
-the same as the first component of the host's DNS name. If a machine is a
-browse server or logon server this name (or the first component of the hosts
-DNS name) will be the name that these services are advertised under. <P>
-See also <A HREF="#netbios aliases">netbios aliases</A>. <P>
-<B>Example:</B> netbios name = MYNAME <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="NIS homedir">NIS homedir (G)</A></H3>
-Get the home share server from a NIS (or YP) map. For unix systems that use
-an automounter, the user's home directory will often be mounted on a
-workstation on demand from a remote server. When the Samba logon server is
-not the actual home directory server, two network hops are required to access
-the home directory and this can be very slow especially with writing via
-Samba to an NFS mounted directory. This option allows samba to return the
-home share as being on a different server to the logon server and as long as
-a samba daemon is running on the home directory server, it will be mounted
-on the Samba client directly from the directory server. When Samba is
-returning the home share to the client, it will consult the NIS (or YP) map
-specified in <A HREF="#homedir map">homedir map</A> and return the server
-listed there. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> NIS homedir = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> NIS homedir = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="networkstation user login">networkstation user login (G)</A></H3>
-This global parameter (new for 1.9.18p3) affects server level security. With
-this set (recommended) samba will do a full NetWkstaUserLogon to confirm that
-the client really should have login rights. This can cause problems with
-machines in trust relationships in which case you can disable it here,
-but be warned, we have heard that some NT machines will then allow anyone
-in with any password! Make sure you test it. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> networkstation user login = Yes <P>
-<B>Example:</B> networkstation user login = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="null passwords">null passwords (G)</A></H3>
-Allow or disallow access to accounts that have null passwords. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> null passwords = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> null passwords = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="only user">only user (S)</A></H3>
-This is a boolean option that controls whether connections with usernames not
-in the <A HREF="#username">username</A> list will be allowed. By default this
-option is disabled so a client can supply a username to be used by the
-server. <P>
-Note that this also means Samba won't try to deduce usernames from the
-service name. This can be annoying for the [homes] section. To get around
-this you could use "<A HREF="#username">username</A> = %S" which means your
-"username" list will be just the service name, which for home directories
-is the name of the user. <P>
-<B>Default: </B> only user = No <P>
-<B>Example: </B> only user = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="oplocks">oplocks (S)</A></H3>
-This boolean option tells smbd whether to issue oplocks (opportunistic locks)
-to file open requests on this share. The oplock code
-was introduced in Samba 1.9.18 and can dramatically (approx 30% or more)
-improve the speed of access to files on Samba servers. It allows the clients
-to agressively cache files locally and you may want to disable this option
-for unreliable network environments (it is turned on by default in Windows
-NT Servers). For more information see the file Speed.txt in the Samba docs/
-directory. <P>
-Oplocks may be selectively turned off on certain files on a per share basis.
-See the <A HREF="#veto oplock files">veto oplock files</A> parameter. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> oplocks = Yes <P>
-<B>Example:</B> oplocks = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="os level">os level (G)</A></H3>
-This integer value controls what level Samba advertises itself as for browse
-elections. See BROWSING.txt for details. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="passwd chat debug">passwd chat debug (G)</A></H3>
-This boolean specifies if the passwd chat script parameter is run
-in 'debug' mode. In this mode the strings passed to and received from the
-passwd chat are printed in the smbd log with a debug level of 100. This
-is a dangerous option as it will allow plaintext passwords to be seen
-in the smbd log. It is available to help Samba admins debug their passwd
-chat scripts and should be turned off after this has been done. This parameter
-is off by default. <P>
-<B>Example:</B> passwd chat debug = Yes <P>
-<B>Default:</B> passwd chat debug = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="passwd chat">passwd chat (G)</A></H3>
-This string controls the "chat" conversation that takes places
-between smbd and the local password changing program to change the users
-password. The string describes a sequence of response-receive pairs that
-smbd uses to determine what to send to the passwd program and what to
-expect back. If the expected output is not received then the password is
-not changed. <P>
-This chat sequence is often quite site specific, depending
-on what local methods are used for password control (such as NIS+ etc). <P>
-The string can contain the macros %o and %n which are substituted for
-the old and new passwords respectively. It can also contain the standard
-macros \n \r \t and \s to give line-feed, carriage-return, tab and space. <P>
-The string can also contain a * which matches any sequence of characters. <P>
-Double quotes can be used to collect strings with spaces in them into
-a single string. <P>
-If the send string in any part of the chat sequence is
-a fullstop "." then no string is sent. Similarly, is the expect string is
-a fullstop then no string is expected. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> passwd chat = *old*password* %o\n *new*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *changed* <P>
-<B>Example:</B> passwd chat = "*Enter OLD password*" %o\n "*Enter NEW password*" %n\n \
- "*Reenter NEW password*" %n\n "*Password changed*" <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="passwd program">passwd program (G)</A></H3>
-The name of a program that can be used to set user passwords. <P>
-This is only necessary if you have enabled remote password changing at
-compile time. Any occurrences of %u will be replaced with the user name. <P>
-Also note that many passwd programs insist in "reasonable"
-passwords, such as a minimum length, or the inclusion of mixed case chars
-and digits. This can pose a problem as some clients (such as Windows for
-Workgroups) uppercase the password before sending it. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> passwd program = /bin/passwd <P>
-<B>Example:</B> passwd program = /sbin/passwd %u <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="password level">password level (G)</A></H3>
-Some client/server combinations have difficulty with mixed-case
-passwords. One offending client is Windows for Workgroups, which for some
-reason forces passwords to upper case when using the LANMAN1 protocol,
-but leaves them alone when using COREPLUS! <P>
-This parameter defines the maximum number of characters that may be upper
-case in passwords. <P>
-For example, say the password given was "FRED". If password level is set to
-1 (one), the following combinations would be tried if "FRED" failed: "Fred",
-"fred", "fRed", "frEd", "freD". If password level was set to 2 (two), the
-following combinations would also be tried: "FRed", "FrEd", "FreD", "fREd",
-"fReD", "frED". And so on. <P>
-The higher value this parameter is set to the more likely it is that a mixed
-case password will be matched against a single case password. However, you
-should be aware that use of this parameter reduces security and increases the
-time taken to process a new connection. <P>
-A value of zero will cause only two attempts to be made - the password
-as is and the password in all-lower case. <P>
-If you find the connections are taking too long with this option then you
-probably have a slow crypt() routine. Samba now comes with a fast "ufc crypt"
-that you can select in the Makefile. You should also make sure the
-PASSWORD_LENGTH option is correct for your system in local.h and includes.h.
-On most systems only the first 8 chars of a password are significant so
-PASSWORD_LENGTH should be 8, but on some longer passwords are significant.
-The includes.h file tries to select the right length for your system. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> password level = 0 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> password level = 4 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="password server">password server (G)</A></H3>
-By specifying the name of another SMB server (such as a WinNT box) with this
-option, and using "<A HREF="#security">security</A> = server" you can get
-Samba to do all its username/password validation via a remote server. <P>
-This options sets the name of the password server to use. It must be a netbios
-name, so if the machine's netbios name is different from its internet name
-then you may have to add its netbios name to /etc/hosts. <P>
-Note that with Samba 1.9.18p4 and above the name of the password server is
-looked up using the <A HREF="#name resolve order">name resolve order</A>
-parameter and so may resolved by any method and order described in that
-parameter. <P>
-The password server much be a machine capable of using the "LM1.2X002"
-or the "LM NT 0.12" protocol, and it must be in user level security mode. <P>
-NOTE: Using a password server means your UNIX box (running Samba) is
-only as secure as your password server. DO NOT CHOOSE A PASSWORD SERVER
-THAT YOU DON'T COMPLETELY TRUST. <P>
-Never point a Samba server at itself for password serving. This will cause a
-loop and could lock up your Samba server! <P>
-The name of the password server takes the standard substitutions, but
-probably the only useful one is %m, which means the Samba server will
-use the incoming client as the password server. If you use this then you
-better trust your clients, and you better restrict them with
-<A HREF="#hosts allow">hosts allow</A>! <P>
-If you list several hosts in the "password server" option then smbd will
-try each in turn till it finds one that responds. This is useful in case
-your primary server goes down. <P>
-If you are using a WindowsNT server as your password server then you will
-have to ensure that your users are able to login from the Samba server, as
-the network logon will appear to come from there rather than from the users
-workstation. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="path">path (S)</A></H3>
-A synonym for this parameter is "directory". <P>
-This parameter specifies a directory to which the user of the service is to
-be given access. In the case of printable services, this is where print data
-will spool prior to being submitted to the host for printing. <P>
-For a printable service offering guest access, the service should be readonly
-and the path should be world-writable and have the sticky bit set. This is
-not mandatory of course, but you probably won't get the results you expect if
-you do otherwise. <P>
-Any occurrences of %u in the path will be replaced with the username that the
-client is connecting as. Any occurrences of %m will be replaced by the name
-of the machine they are connecting from. These replacements are very useful
-for setting up pseudo home directories for users. <P>
-Note that this path will be based on
-<A HREF="#root directory">root directory</A> if one was specified.<P>
-<B>Default:</B> none <P>
-<B>Example:</B> path = /home/fred <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="postexec">postexec (S)</A></H3>
-This option specifies a command to be run whenever the
-service is disconnected. It takes the usual substitutions. The command may
-be run as the root on some systems. <P>
-An interesting example may be do unmount server resources: <P>
-postexec = /etc/umount /cdrom <P>
-See also <A HREF="#preexec">preexec</A> <P>
-<B>Default:</B> none (no command executed) <P>
-<B>Example:</B> postexec = echo \"%u disconnected from %S from %m (%I)\" &gt;&gt; /tmp/log <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="postscript">postscript (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter forces a printer to interpret the print files as postscript.
-This is done by adding a %! to the start of print output. <P>
-This is most useful when you have lots of PCs that persist in putting a
-control-D at the start of print jobs, which then confuses your printer. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> postscript = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> postscript = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="preferred master">preferred master (G)</A></H3>
-This boolean parameter controls if Samba is a preferred master browser for
-its workgroup. If this is set to Yes, on startup, samba will force an
-election, and it will have a slight advantage in winning the election.
-It is recommended that this parameter is used in conjunction with
-<A HREF="#domain master">domain master</A> = yes, so that samba can guarantee
-becoming a domain master. <P>
-Use this option with caution, because if there are several hosts (whether
-samba servers, Windows 95 or NT) that are preferred master browsers on
-the same subnet, they will each periodically and continuously attempt
-to become the local master browser. This will result in unnecessary broadcast
-traffic and reduced browsing capabilities. <P>
-See <A HREF="#os level">os level</A> = nn <P>
-<B>Default:</B> preferred master = no <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="preload">preload</A></H3>
-An alias is "auto services". This is a list of services that you want to be
-automatically added to the browse lists. This is most useful for homes and
-printers services that would otherwise not be visible. <P>
-Note that if you just want all printers in your printcap file loaded then the
-<A HREF="#load printers">load printers</A> option is easier. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> no preloaded services <P>
-<B>Example:</B> preload = fred lp colorlp <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="preserve case">preserve case (S)</A></H3>
-This controls if new filenames are created with the case that
-the client passes, or if they are forced to be the "default" case. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> preserve case = no <P>
-See the section on <A HREF="#NAME MANGLING">NAME MANGLING</A> for a fuller
-discussion. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="print command">print command (S)</A></H3>
-After a print job has finished spooling to a service, this command will be
-used via a system() call to process the spool file. Typically the command
-specified will submit the spool file to the host's printing subsystem, but
-there is no requirement that this be the case. The server will not remove
-the spool file, so whatever command you specify should remove the spool file
-when it has been processed, otherwise you will need to manually remove old
-spool files. <P>
-The print command is simply a text string. It will be used verbatim, with
-two exceptions: All occurrences of "%s" will be replaced by the appropriate
-spool file name, and all occurrences of "%p" will be replaced by the
-appropriate printer name. The spool file name is generated automatically by
-the server, the <A HREF="#printer name">printer name</A> is discussed below. <P>
-The full path name will be used for the filename if %s is not preceded by a
-/. If you don't like this (it can stuff up some lpq output) then use %f
-instead. Any occurrences of %f get replaced by the spool filename without
-the full path at the front. <P>
-The print command MUST contain at least one occurrence of "%s" or %f -
-the "%p" is optional. At the time a job is submitted, if no printer name is
-supplied the "%p" will be silently removed from the printer command. <P>
-If specified in the [global] section, the print command given will be used for
-any printable service that does not have its own print command specified.<P>
-If there is neither a specified print command for a printable service nor a
-global print command, spool files will be created but not processed and (most
-importantly) not removed. <P>
-Note that printing may fail on some UNIXes from the "nobody" account. If this
-happens then create an alternative guest account that can print and set the
-<A HREF="#guest account">guest account</A> in the [global] section. <P>
-You can form quite complex print commands by realising that they are
-just passed to a shell. For example the following will log a print job,
-print the file, then remove it. Note that ; is the usual separator for
-command in shell scripts. <P>
-print command = echo Printing %s &gt;&gt; /tmp/print.log; lpr -P %p %s; rm %s<P>
-You may have to vary this command considerably depending on how you normally
-print files on your system. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> print command = lpr -r -P %p %s <P>
-<B>Example:</B>print command = /usr/local/samba/bin/myprintscript %p %s <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="print ok">print ok (S)</A></H3>
-A synonym for this parameter is 'printable'. <P>
-If this parameter is 'Yes', then clients may open, write to
-and submit spool files on the directory specified for the service. <P>
-Note that a printable service will ALWAYS allow writing to the service path
-(user privileges permitting) via the spooling of print data. The
-<A HREF="#read only">read only</A> parameter controls only non-printing
-access to the resource. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> print ok = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> print ok = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="printcap name">printcap name (G)</A></H3>
-This parameter may be used to override the compiled-in default printcap name
-used by the server (usually /etc/printcap). On SystemV systems that
-use lpstat to list available printers you can use "printcap name = lpstat"
-to automatically obtain lists of available printers. This is the default
-for systems that define SYSV at compile time in Samba (this includes
-most SystemV based systems). If "printcap name" is set to lpstat on these
-systems then Samba will launch "lpstat -v" and attempt to parse the output
-to obtain a printer list. <P>
-A minimal printcap file would look something like this: <P>
-print1|My Printer 1 <BR>
-print2|My Printer 2 <BR>
-print3|My Printer 3 <BR>
-print4|My Printer 4 <BR>
-print5|My Printer 5 <P>
-where the | separates aliases of a printer. The fact that the second alias
-has a space in it gives a hint to Samba that it's a comment. <P>
-NOTE: Under AIX the default printcap name is "/etc/qconfig".
-Samba will assume the file is in AIX "qconfig" format if the string "/qconfig"
-appears in the printcap filename. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> printcap name = /etc/printcap <P>
-<B>Example:</B> printcap name = /etc/myprintcap <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="printer driver">printer driver (S)</A></H3>
-This option allows you to control the string that clients receive when they
-ask the server for the printer driver associated with a printer. If you are
-using Windows95 or WindowsNT then you can use this to automate the setup of
-printers on your system. <P>
-You need to set this parameter to the exact string (case sensitive) that
-describes the appropriate printer driver for your system. If you don't know
-the exact string to use then you should first try with no "printer driver"
-option set and the client will give you a list of printer drivers. The
-appropriate strings are shown in a scrollbox after you have chosen the
-printer manufacturer. <P>
-<B>Example:</B> printer driver = HP LaserJet 4L <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="printer name">printer name (S)</A></H3>
-A synonym for this parameter is 'printer'. <P>
-This parameter specifies the name of the printer to which print jobs spooled
-through a printable service will be sent. <P>
-If specified in the [global] section, the printer name given will be used for
-any printable service that does not have its own printer name specified. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> none (but may be 'lp' on many systems) <P>
-<B>Example:</B> printer name = laserwriter <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="printer driver file">printer driver file (G)</A></H3>
-This parameter tells Samba where the printer driver definition file, used
-when serving drivers to Windows 95 clients, is to be found. If this is not
-set, the default is : <P>
-SAMBA_INSTALL_DIRECTORY/lib/printers.def <P>
-This file is created from Windows 95 'msprint.def' files found on the Windows
-95 client system. For more details on setting up serving of printer drivers
-to Windows 95 clients, see the documentation file docs/PRINTER_DRIVER.txt. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> None (set in compile). <P>
-<B>Example:</B> printer driver file = /usr/local/samba/printers/drivers.def <P>
-Related parameters.
-<A HREF="#printer driver location">printer driver location</A> <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="printer driver location">printer driver location (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter tells clients of a particular printer share where to find the
-printer driver files for the automatic installation of drivers for Windows 95
-machines. If Samba is set up to serve printer drivers to Windows 95 machines,
-this should be set to <P>
-\\MACHINE\PRINTER$ <P>
-Where MACHINE is the NetBIOS name of your Samba
-server, and PRINTER$ is a share you set up for serving printer driver
-files. For more details on setting this up see the documentation file
-docs/PRINTER_DRIVER.txt. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> None <P>

-<H3><A NAME="printing">printing (S)</A></H3>
-This parameters controls how printer status information is interpreted
-on your system, and also affects the default values for the
-<A HREF="#print command">print command</A>,
-<A HREF="#lpq command">lpq command</A> and
-<A HREF="#lprm command">lprm command</A>. <P>
-Currently six printing styles are supported. They are bsd, sysv, hpux, aix,
-qnx and plp. <P>
-To see what the defaults are for the other print commands when using these
-options use the "testparm" program. <P>
-As of version 1.9.18 of Samba this option can be set on a per printer basis <P>
-<B>Example:</B> printing = sysv <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="protocol">protocol (G)</A></H3>
-The value of the parameter (a string) is the highest protocol level that will
-be supported by the server. <P>
-Possible values are CORE, COREPLUS, LANMAN1, LANMAN2 and NT1. The relative
-merits of each are discussed in the README file. <P>
-Normally this option should not be set as the automatic negotiation phase in
-the SMB protocol takes care of choosing the appropriate protocol. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> protocol = NT1 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> protocol = LANMAN1 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="read bmpx">read bmpx (S)</A></H3>
-<B>Default:</B> read bmpx = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="read list">read list (S)</A></H3>
-This is a list of users that are given read-only access to a service.
-If the connecting user is in this list then they will not be given write
-access, no matter what the <A HREF="#read only">read only</A> option is set
-to. The list can include group names using the @group syntax. <P>
-See also the <A HREF="#write list">write list</A> option <P>
-<B>Default:</B> read list = <P>
-<B>Example:</B> read list = mary, @students <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="read only">read only (S)</A></H3>
-Inverted synonyms for this parameter are 'writable' and 'write ok'. <P>
-If this parameter is 'Yes', then users of the service may not create or
-modify files in the service's directory. <P>
-Note that a printable service ('<A HREF="#printable">printable</A> = Yes')
-will ALWAYS allow writing to the directory (user privileges permitting), but
-only via spooling operations. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> read only = Yes <P>
-<B>Examples:</B> read only = No <BR>
-writable = No <BR>
-write ok = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="read prediction">read prediction (G)</A></H3>
-This options enables or disables the read prediction code used to speed up
-reads from the server. When enabled the server will try to pre-read data
-from the last accessed file that was opened read-only while waiting for
-packets. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> read prediction = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> read prediction = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="read raw">read raw (G)</A></H3>
-This parameter controls whether or not the server will support raw reads when
-transferring data to clients. <P>
-If enabled, raw reads allow reads of 65535 bytes in one packet. This typically
-provides a major performance benefit. <P>
-However, some clients either negotiate the allowable block size incorrectly
-or are incapable of supporting larger block sizes, and for these clients you
-may need to disable raw reads. <P>
-In general this parameter should be viewed as a system tuning tool and left
-severely alone. See also <A HREF="#write raw">write raw.</A> <P>
-<B>Default:</B> read raw = Yes <P>
-<B>Example:</B> read raw = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="read size">read size (G)</A></H3>
-The option "read size" 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. <P>
-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. <P>
-The default value is 2048, 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. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> read size = 2048 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> read size = 8192 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="remote announce">remote announce (G)</A></H3>
-This option allows you to setup nmbd to periodically announce itself to
-arbitrary IP addresses with an arbitrary workgroup name. <P>
-This is useful if you want your Samba server to appear in a remote workgroup
-for which the normal browse propagation rules don't work. The remote
-workgroup can be anywhere that you can send IP packets to. <P>
-For example: <P>
-remote announce = 192.168.2.255/SERVERS 192.168.4.255/STAFF <P>
-the above line would cause nmbd to announce itself to the two given IP
-addresses using the given workgroup names. If you leave out the workgroup
-name then the one given in the <A HREF="#workgroup">workgroup</A> option is
-used instead. <P>
-The IP addresses you choose would normally be the broadcast
-addresses of the remote networks, but can also be the IP addresses of
-known browse masters if your network config is that stable. <P>
-This option replaces similar functionality from the nmbd lmhosts file. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="remote browse sync">remote browse sync (G)</A></H3>
-This option allows you to setup nmbd to periodically request
-synchronisation of browse lists with the master browser of a samba server
-that is on a remote segment. This option will allow you to gain browse
-lists for multiple workgroups across routed networks. This is done in a
-manner that does not work with any non-samba servers. <P>
-This is useful if you want your Samba server and all local clients to appear
-in a remote workgroup for which the normal browse propagation rules don't
-work. The remote workgroup can be anywhere that you can send IP packets to.<P>
-For example: <P>
-remote browse sync = 192.168.2.255 192.168.4.255 <P>
-the above line would cause nmbd to request the master browser on the
-specified subnets or addresses to synchronise their browse lists with the
-local server. <P>
-The IP addresses you choose would normally be the broadcast addresses
-of the remote networks, but can also be the IP addresses of known browse
-masters if your network config is that stable. If a machine IP address
-is given Samba makes NO attempt to validate that the remote machine is
-available, is listening, nor that it is in fact the browse master on it's
-segment. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="revalidate">revalidate (S)</A></H3>
-This options controls whether Samba will allow a previously validated
-username/password pair to be used to attach to a share. Thus if you connect
-to \\server\share1 then to \\server\share2 it won't automatically allow the
-client to request connection to the second share as the same username as the
-first without a password. <P>
-If "revalidate" is Yes then the client will be denied automatic access as
-the same username. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> revalidate = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> revalidate = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="root directory">root directory (G)</A></H3>
-Synonyms for this parameter are 'root dir' and 'root'. <P>
-The server will chroot() to this directory on startup. This is not strictly
-necessary for secure operation. Even without it the server will deny access
-to files not in one of the service entries. It may also check for, and deny
-access to, soft links to other parts of the filesystem, or attempts to use
-.. in file names to access other directories (depending on the setting of
-the <A HREF="#wide links">wide links</A> parameter). <P>
-Adding a "root dir" entry other than "/" adds an extra level
-of security, but at a price. It absolutely ensures that no access is given
-to files not in the sub-tree specified in the "root dir" option, *including*
-some files needed for complete operation of the server. To maintain full
-operability of the server you will need to mirror some system files into
-the "root dir" tree. In particular you will need to mirror /etc/passwd
-(or a subset of it), and any binaries or configuration files needed for
-printing (if required). The set of files that must be mirrored is operating
-system dependent. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> root directory = / <P>
-<B>Example:</B> root directory = /homes/smb <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="root postexec">root postexec (S)</A></H3>
-This is the same as <A HREF="#postexec">postexec</A> except that
-the command is run as root. This is useful for unmounting filesystems (such
-as CDROMS) after a connection is closed. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="root preexec">root preexec (S)</A></H3>
-This is the same as <A HREF="#exec">exec</A> except that the command is run
-as root. This is useful for mounting filesystems (such as CDROMS) before a
-connection is finalised. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="security">security (G)</A></H3>
-This option affects how clients respond to Samba. <P>
-The option sets the "security mode bit" in replies to protocol negotiations
-to turn share level security on or off. Clients decide based on this bit
-whether (and how) to transfer user and password information to the server.<P>
-The default is "security=SHARE", mainly because that was the only option at
-one stage. <P>
-The alternatives are "security = user" or "security = server". <P>
-If your PCs use usernames that are the same as their usernames on the
-UNIX machine then you will want to use "security = user". If you mostly
-use usernames that don't exist on the UNIX box then use "security = share".<P>
-There is a bug in WfWg that may affect your decision. When in user level
-security a WfWg client will totally ignore the password you type in the
-"connect drive" dialog box. This makes it very difficult (if not impossible)
-to connect to a Samba service as anyone except the user that you are logged
-into WfWg as. <P>
-If you use "security = server" then Samba will try to validate
-the username/password by passing it to another SMB server, such as an
-NT box. If this fails it will revert to "security = USER". <P>
-See the <A HREF="#password server">password server</A> option for more
-details. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> security = SHARE <P>
-<B>Example:</B> security = USER <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="server string">server string (G)</A></H3>
-This controls what string will show up in the printer comment box in print
-manager and next to the IPC connection in "net view". It can be any string
-that you wish to show to your users. <P>
-It also sets what will appear in browse lists next to the machine name. <P>
-A %v will be replaced with the Samba version number. <P>
-A %h will be replaced with the hostname. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> server string = Samba %v <P>
-<B>Example:</B> server string = University of GNUs Samba Server <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="set directory">set directory (S)</A></H3>
-If 'set directory = No', then users of the service may not use the setdir
-command to change directory. <P>
-The setdir command is only implemented in the Digital Pathworks
-client. See the Pathworks documentation for details. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> set directory = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> set directory = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="shared mem size">shared mem size (G)</A></H3>
-This parameter is only useful when Samba has been compiled with
-FAST_SHARE_MODES. It specifies the size of the shared
-memory (in bytes) to use between smbd processes. You should never change
-this parameter unless you have studied the source and know what you are
-doing. This parameter defaults to 1024 multiplied by the setting of the
-maximum number of open files in the file local.h in the Samba source code.
-MAX_OPEN_FILES is normally set to 100, so this parameter defaults to 102400
-bytes. <P>
-<B>Default</B> shared mem size = 102400 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="smb passwd file">smb passwd file (G)</A></H3>
-This option sets the path to the encrypted smbpasswd file. This is a
-*VERY DANGEROUS OPTION* if the smb.conf is user writable. By default the
-path to the smbpasswd file is compiled into Samba. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="smbrun">smbrun (G)</A></H3>
-This sets the full path to the smbrun binary. This defaults to the value in
-the Makefile. <P>
-You must get this path right for many services to work correctly. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> taken from Makefile <P>
-<B>Example:</B> smbrun = /usr/local/samba/bin/smbrun <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="share modes">share modes (S)</A></H3>
-This enables or disables the honouring of the "share modes" during a file
-open. These modes are used by clients to gain exclusive read or write access
-to a file. <P>
-These open modes are not directly supported by UNIX, so they are simulated
-using lock files in the <A HREF="#lock dir">lock dir</A>. The "lock dir"
-specified in smb.conf must be readable by all users. <P>
-The share modes that are enabled by this option are DENY_DOS, DENY_ALL,
-DENY_READ, DENY_WRITE, DENY_NONE and DENY_FCB. <P>
-Enabling this option gives full share compatibility but may cost a bit of
-processing time on the UNIX server. They are enabled by default. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> share modes = Yes <P>
-<B>Example:</B> share modes = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="short preserve case">short preserve case (S)</A></H3>
-This controls if new short filenames are created with the case that the client
-passes, or if they are forced to be the "default" case. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> short preserve case = No <P>
-See the section on <A HREF="#NAME MANGLING">NAME MANGLING</A> for a fuller
-discussion. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="socket address">socket address (G)</A></H3>
-This option allows you to control what address Samba will listen for
-connections on. This is used to support multiple virtual interfaces on the
-one server, each with a different configuration. <P>
-By default samba will accept connections on any address. <P>
-<B>Example:</B> socket address = 192.168.2.20 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="socket options">socket options (G)</A></H3>
-This option (which can also be invoked with the -O command line option) allows
-you to set socket options to be used when talking with the client. <P>
-Socket options are controls on the networking layer of the operating systems
-which allow the connection to be tuned. <P>
-This option will typically be used to tune your Samba server for optimal
-performance for your local network. There is no way that Samba can know what
-the optimal parameters are for your net, so you must experiment and choose
-them yourself. I strongly suggest you read the appropriate documentation for
-your operating system first (perhaps "man setsockopt" will help). <P>
-You may find that on some systems Samba will say "Unknown socket option" when
-you supply an option. This means you either mis-typed it or you need to add
-an include file to includes.h for your OS. If the latter is the case please
-send the patch to me (samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). <P>
-Any of the supported socket options may be combined in any way you like, as
-long as your OS allows it. <P>
-This is the list of socket options currently settable using this option: <P>
-SO_KEEPALIVE <BR>
-SO_REUSEADDR <BR>
-SO_BROADCAST <BR>
-TCP_NODELAY <BR>
-IPTOS_LOWDELAY <BR>
-IPTOS_THROUGHPUT <BR>
-SO_SNDBUF * <BR>
-SO_RCVBUF * <BR>
-SO_SNDLOWAT * <BR>
-SO_RCVLOWAT * <P>
-Those marked with a * take an integer argument. The others can optionally take
-a 1 or 0 argument to enable or disable the option, by default they will
-be enabled if you don't specify 1 or 0. <P>
-To specify an argument use the syntax SOME_OPTION=VALUE for example
-SO_SNDBUF=8192. Note that you must not have any spaces before or after the =
-sign. <P>
-If you are on a local network then a sensible option might be <P>
-socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY <P>
-If you have an almost unloaded local network and you don't mind a lot
-of extra CPU usage in the server then you could try <P>
-socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY <P>
-If you are on a wide area network then perhaps try setting IPTOS_THROUGHPUT. <P>
-Note that several of the options may cause your Samba server to fail
-completely. Use these options with caution! <P>
-<B>Default:</B> no socket options <P>
-<B>Example:</B> socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="status">status (G)</A></H3>
-This enables or disables logging of connections to a status
-file that <B>smbstatus</B> can read. <P>
-With this disabled <B>smbstatus</B> won't be able to tell you what connections
-are active. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> status = Yes <P>
-<B>Example:</B> status = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="strict locking">strict locking (S)</A></H3>
-This is a boolean that controls the handling of file locking in the server.
-When this is set to yes the server will check every read and write access
-for file locks, and deny access if locks exist. This can be slow on some
-systems. <P>
-When strict locking is "no" the server does file lock checks only when the
-client explicitly asks for them. <P>
-Well behaved clients always ask for lock checks when it is important,
-so in the vast majority of cases "strict locking = no" is preferable. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> strict locking = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> strict locking = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="strip dot">strip dot (G)</A></H3>
-This is a boolean that controls whether to strip trailing dots off
-UNIX filenames. This helps with some CDROMs that have filenames ending
-in a single dot. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> strip dot = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> strip dot = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="syslog">syslog (G)</A></H3>
-This parameter maps how Samba debug messages are logged onto
-the system syslog logging levels. Samba debug level zero maps onto syslog
-LOG_ERR, debug level one maps onto LOG_WARNING, debug level two maps to
-LOG_NOTICE, debug level three maps onto LOG_INFO. The paramter sets the
-threshold for doing the mapping, all Samba debug messages above this threashold
-are mapped to syslog LOG_DEBUG messages. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> syslog = 1 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="syslog only">syslog only (G)</A></H3>
-If this parameter is set then Samba debug messages are logged
-into the system syslog only, and not to the debug log files. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> syslog only = no <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="sync always">sync always (S)</A></H3>
-This is a boolean parameter that controls whether writes will always be
-written to stable storage before the write call returns. If this is No then
-the server will be guided by the client's request in each write call (clients
-can set a bit indicating that a particular write should be synchronous). If
-this is Yes then every write will be followed by a fsync() call to ensure the
-data is written to disk. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> sync always = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> sync always = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="time offset">time offset (G)</A></H3>
-This parameter is a setting in minutes to add to the normal GMT to local time
-conversion. This is useful if you are serving a lot of PCs that have incorrect
-daylight saving time handling. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> time offset = 0 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> time offset = 60 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="time server">time server (G)</A></H3>
-This parameter determines if nmbd advertises itself as a time server to
-Windows clients. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> time server = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> time server = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="unix password sync">unix password sync (G)</A></H3>
-This boolean parameter controlls whether Samba attempts to synchronise the
-UNIX password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in
-the smbpasswd file is changed. If this is set to Yes the
-<A HREF="#passwd program">passwd program</A>
-program is called *AS ROOT* - to allow the new UNIX password to be set
-without access to the old UNIX password (as the SMB password has change
-code has no access to the old password cleartext, only the new). By default
-this is set to No. <P>
-See also <A HREF="#passwd program">passwd program</A>,
-<A HREF="#passwd chat">passwd chat</A> <P>
-<B>Default:</B> unix password sync = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> unix password sync = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="unix realname">unix realname (G)</A></H3>
-This boolean parameter when set causes samba to supply the real name field
-from the unix password file to the client. This is useful for setting up mail
-clients and WWW browsers on systems used by more than one person. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> unix realname = No <P>
-<B>Example:</B> unix realname = Yes <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="update encrypted">update encrypted (S)</A></H3>
-This boolean parameter allows a user logging on with a plaintext password to
-have their encrypted (hashed) password in the smbpasswd file to be updated
-automatically as they log on. This option allows a site to migrate from
-plaintext password authentication (users authenticate with plaintext
-password over the wire, and are checked against a UNIX account database) to
-encrypted password authentication (the SMB challenge/response authentication
-mechanism) without forcing all users to re-enter their passwords via smbpasswd
-at the time the change is made. This is a convenience option to allow the
-change over to encrypted passwords to be made over a longer period. Once all
-users have encrypted representations of their passwords in the smbpasswd file \
-this parameter should be set to "No". <P>
-In order for this parameter to work correctly the
-i<A HREF="#encrypt passwords">encrypt passwords</A> must be set to "No" when
-this parameter is set to "Yes". <P>
-Note that even when this parameter is set a user authenticating to smbd must
-still enter a valid password in order to connect correctly, and to update their
-hashed (smbpasswd) passwords. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> update encrypted = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="use rhosts">use rhosts (S)</A></H3>
-<B>Default:</B> use rhosts = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="username">username (S)</A></H3>
-A synonym for this parameter is 'user'. <P>
-Multiple users may be specified in a comma-delimited list, in which case the
-supplied password will be tested against each username in turn (left to
-right). <P>
-The username= line is needed only when the PC is unable to supply its own
-username. This is the case for the coreplus protocol or where your users have
-different WfWg usernames to UNIX usernames. In both these cases you may also
-be better using the \\server\share%user syntax instead. <P>
-The username= line is not a great solution in many cases as it means Samba
-will try to validate the supplied password against each of the usernames in
-the username= line in turn. This is slow and a bad idea for lots of users in
-case of duplicate passwords. You may get timeouts or security breaches using
-this parameter unwisely. <P>
-Samba relies on the underlying UNIX security. This parameter does not restrict
-who can login, it just offers hints to the Samba server as to what usernames
-might correspond to the supplied password. Users can login as whoever they
-please and they will be able to do no more damage than if they started a
-telnet session. The daemon runs as the user that they log in as, so they
-cannot do anything that user cannot do. <P>
-To restrict a service to a particular set of users you can use the
-<A HREF="#valid users">valid users</A> line. <P>
-If any of the usernames begin with a @ then the name will be looked
-up in the groups file and will expand to a list of all users in the group
-of that name. Note that searching though a groups file can take quite some
-time, and some clients may time out during the search. <P>
-See the section below on
-<A HREF="#USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION">USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION</A>
-for more information on how this parameter determines access to the services.<P>
-<B>Default:</B> The guest account if a guest service, else the name of the service. <P>
-<B>Examples:</B>username = fredusername = fred, mary, jack, jane, @users, @pcgroup <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="username level">username level (G)</A></H3>
-This option helps Samba to try and 'guess' at the real UNIX username,
-as many DOS clients send an all-uppercase username. By default Samba tries
-all lowercase, followed by the username with the first letter capitalized,
-and fails if the username is not found on the UNIX machine. <P>
-If this parameter is set to non-zero the behaviour changes. This parameter
-is a number that specifies the number of uppercase combinations to try whilst
-trying to determine the UNIX user name. The higher the number the more
-combinations will be tried, but the slower the discovery of usernames will be.
-Use this parameter when you have strange usernames on your UNIX machine,
-such as 'AstrangeUser'. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> username level = 0 <P>
-<B>Example:</B> username level = 5 <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="username map">username map (G)</A></H3>
-This option allows you to to specify a file containing
-a mapping of usernames from the clients to the server. This can be used
-for several purposes. The most common is to map usernames that users use
-on DOS or Windows machines to those that the UNIX box uses. The other is
-to map multiple users to a single username so that they can more easily
-share files. <P>
-The map file is parsed line by line. Each line should contain
-a single UNIX username on the left then a '=' followed by a list of usernames
-on the right. The list of usernames on the right may contain names of the
-form @group in which case they will match any UNIX username in that group.
-The special client name '*' is a wildcard and matches any name. <P>
-The file is processed on each line by taking the supplied username and
-comparing it with each username on the right hand side of the '=' signs. If
-the supplied name matches any of the names on the right hand side then it is
-replaced with the name on the left. Processing then continues with the next
-line. <P>
-If any line begins with a '#' or a ';' then it is ignored <P>
-If any line begins with an ! then the processing will stop after that line if
-a mapping was done by the line. Otherwise mapping continues with every line
-being processed. Using ! is most useful when you have a wildcard mapping line
-later in the file. <P>
-For example to map from the name "admin" or "administrator" to the UNIX name
-"root" you would use <P>
-root = admin administrator <P>
-Or to map anyone in the UNIX group "system" to the UNIX name "sys" you would
-use <P>
-sys = @system <P>
-You can have as many mappings as you like in a username map file. <P>
-You can map Windows usernames that have spaces in them by using
-double quotes around the name. For example: <P>
-tridge = "Andrew Tridgell" <P>
-would map the windows username "Andrew Tridgell" to the unix username
-tridge. <P>
-The following example would map mary and fred to the unix user
-sys, and map the rest to guest. Note the use of the ! to tell Samba to
-stop processing if it gets a match on that line. <P>
-!sys = mary fred guest = * <P>
-Note that the remapping is applied to all occurrences of usernames.
-Thus if you connect to "\\server\fred" and "fred" is remapped to "mary" then
-you will actually be connecting to "\\server\mary" and will need to supply
-a password suitable for "mary" not "fred". The only exception to this is
-the username passed to the <A HREF="#password server">password server</A>
-(if you have one). The password server will receive whatever username the
-client supplies without modification. <P>
-Also note that no reverse mapping is done. The main effect this has is
-with printing. Users who have been mapped may have trouble deleting print
-jobs as PrintManager under WfWg will think they don't own the print job. <P>
-<B>Default</B> no username map <P>
-<B>Example</B> username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/users.map <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="valid chars">valid chars (S)</A></H3>
-The option allows you to specify additional characters that should be
-considered valid by the server in filenames. This is particularly
-useful for national character sets, such as adding u-umlaut or a-ring. <P>
-The option takes a list of characters in either integer or character form
-with spaces between them. If you give two characters with a colon between
-them then it will be taken as an lowercase:uppercase pair. <P>
-If you have an editor capable of entering the characters into the config file
-then it is probably easiest to use this method. Otherwise you can specify the
-characters in octal, decimal or hexadecimal form using the usual C notation.<P>
-For example to add the single character 'Z' to the charset (which is a
-pointless thing to do as it's already there) you could do one of the following
-<P>
-valid chars = Z <BR>
-valid chars = z:Z <BR>
-valid chars = 0132:0172 <P>
-The last two examples above actually add two characters, and alter the
-uppercase and lowercase mappings appropriately. <P>
-Note that you MUST specify this parameter after the
-<A HREF="#client code page">client code page</A> parameter if you have both
-set. If "client code page" is set after the "valid chars" parameter the
-"valid chars" settings will be overwritten. <P>
-See also the <A HREF="#client code page">client code page</A> parameter. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> Samba defaults to using a reasonable set of valid characters
-for english systems <P>
-<B>Example:</B> valid chars = 0345:0305 0366:0326 0344:0304 <P>
-The above example allows filenames to have the swedish characters in them. <P>
-NOTE: It is actually quite difficult to correctly produce a "valid chars" line
-for a particular system. To automate the process tino@augsburg.net
-has written a package called "validchars" which will automatically produce
-a complete "valid chars" line for a given client system. Look in the examples
-subdirectory for this package. <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="valid users">valid users (S)</A></H3>
-This is a list of users that should be allowed to login to this service. A
-name starting with @ is interpreted as a UNIX group. <P>
-If this is empty (the default) then any user can login. If a username is in
-both this list and the <A HREF="#invalid users">invalid users</A> list then
-access is denied for that user. <P>
-The current servicename is substituted for %S. This is useful in the [homes]
-section. <P>
-See also <A HREF="#invalid users">invalid users</A> <P>
-<B>Default</B> No valid users list. (anyone can login) <P>
-<B>Example</B> valid users = greg, @pcusers <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="veto files">veto files (S)</A></H3>
-This is a list of files and directories that are neither visible nor
-accessible. Each entry in the list must be separated by a "/", which allows
-spaces to be included in the entry. '*' and '?' can be used to specify
-multiple files or directories as in DOS wildcards. <P>
-Each entry must be a unix path, not a DOS path and must not include the
-unix directory separator "/". <P>
-Note that the case sensitivity option is applicable in vetoing files. <P>
-One feature of the veto files parameter that it is important to be aware of,
-is that if a directory contains nothing but files that match the veto files
-parameter (which means that Windows/DOS clients cannot ever see them) is
-deleted, the veto files within that directory *are automatically deleted*
-along with it, if the user has UNIX permissions to do so.Setting this
-parameter will affect the performance of Samba, as it will be forced to check
-all files and directories for a match as they are scanned. <P>
-See also <A HREF="#hide files">hide files</A> and
-<A HREF="#case sensitive">case sensitive</A> <P>
-<B>Default</B> No files or directories are vetoed. <P>
-<B>Examples</B> Example 1. Veto any files containing the word Security, any
-ending in .tmp, and any directory containing the word root. <P>
-veto files = /*Security*/*.tmp/*root*/ <P>
-Example 2. Veto the Apple specific files that a NetAtalk server creates. <P>
-veto files = /.AppleDouble/.bin/.AppleDesktop/Network Trash Folder/ <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="veto oplock files">veto oplock files (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter is only valid when the <A HREF="#oplocks">oplocks</A>
-parameter is turned on for a share. It allows the Samba administrator to
-selectively turn off the granting of oplocks on selected files that match
-a wildcarded list, similar to the wildcarded list used in the
-<A HREF="#veto files">veto files</A> parameter. <P>
-<B>Default</B> No files are vetoed for oplock grants. <P>
-<B>Examples</B> You might want to do this on files that you know will be
-heavily contended for by clients. A good example of this is in the NetBench
-SMB benchmark program, which causes heavy client contention for files ending
-in .SEM. To cause Samba not to grant oplocks on these files you would use the
-line (either in the [global] section or in the section for the particular
-NetBench share : <P>
-veto oplock files = /*.SEM/ <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="volume">volume (S)</A></H3>
-This allows you to override the volume label returned for a share. Useful for
-CDROMs with installation programs that insist on a particular volume label.<P>
-The default is the name of the share <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="wide links">wide links (S)</A></H3>
-This parameter controls whether or not links in the UNIX file system may be
-followed by the server. Links that point to areas within the directory tree
-exported by the server are always allowed; this parameter controls access only
-to areas that are outside the directory tree being exported. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> wide links = Yes <P>
-<B>Example:</B> wide links = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="wins proxy">wins proxy (G)</A></H3>
-This is a boolean that controls if nmbd will respond to broadcast name queries
-on behalf of other hosts. You may need to set this to no for some older
-clients. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> wins proxy = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="wins server">wins server (G)</A></H3>
-This specifies the DNS name (or IP address) of the WINS server that Samba
-should register with. If you have a WINS server on your network then you
-should set this to the WINS servers name. <P>
-You should point this at your WINS server if you have a multi-subnetted
-network. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> wins server = <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="wins support">wins support (G)</A></H3>
-This boolean controls if the nmbd process in Samba will act as a WINS server.
-You should not set this to Yes unless you have a multi-subnetted network and
-you wish a particular nmbd to be your WINS server. Note that you should
-*NEVER* set this to Yes on more than one machine in your network. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> wins support = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="workgroup">workgroup (G)</A></H3>
-This controls what workgroup your server will appear to be in when queried by
-clients. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> set in the Makefile <P>
-<B>Example:</B> workgroup = MYGROUP <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="write list">write list (S)</A></H3>
-This is a list of users that are given read-write access to a service. If
-the connecting user is in this list then they will be given write access,
-no matter what the <A HREF="#writable">writable</A> option is set to.
-The list can include group names using the @group syntax. <P>
-Note that if a user is in both the read list and the write list then they
-will be given write access. <P>
-See also the <A HREF="#read list">read list</A> option <P>
-<B>Default:</B> write list = <P>
-<B>Example:</B> write list = admin, root, @staff <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="write raw">write raw (G)</A></H3>
-This parameter controls whether or not the server will support raw writes
-when transferring data from clients. <P>
-<B>Default:</B> write raw = Yes <P>
-<B>Example:</B> write raw = No <P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION">USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION</A></H3>
-There are a number of ways in which a user can connect to a
-service. The server follows the following steps in determining if it will
-allow a connection to a specified service. If all the steps fail then the
-connection request is rejected. If one of the steps pass then the following
-steps are not checked. <P>
-If the service is marked "<A HREF="#guest only">guest only</A> = yes" then
-steps 1 to 5 are skipped <P>
-Step 1: If the client has passed a username/password
-pair and that username/password pair is validated by the UNIX system's
-password programs then the connection is made as that username. Note that
-this includes the \\server\service%username method of passing a username. <P>
-Step 2: If the client has previously registered a username with the system
-and now supplies a correct password for that username then the connection
-is allowed. <P>
-Step 3: The client's netbios name and any previously used user
-names are checked against the supplied password, if they match then the
-connection is allowed as the corresponding user. <P>
-Step 4: If the client has previously validated a username/password pair with
-the server and the client has passed the validation token then that username
-is used. This step is skipped if "<A HREF="#revalidate">revalidate</A> = yes"
-for this service. <P>
-Step 5: If a "<A HREF="#username">username</A> = " field is given in the
-smb.conf file for the service and the client has supplied a password, and
-that password matches (according to the UNIX system's password checking) with
-one of the usernames from the username= field then the connection is made as
-the username in the "username=" line. If one of the username in the username=
-list begins with a @ then that name expands to a list of names in the group
-of the same name. <P>
-Step 6: If the service is a guest service then a connection is made as the
-username given in the "<A HREF="#guest account">guest account</A> =" for the
-service, irrespective of the supplied password.<P>
-
-<H3><A NAME="NAME MANGLING">NAME MANGLING </A></H3>
-Samba supports "name mangling" so that DOS and Windows clients can use files
-that don't conform to the 8.3 format. It can also be set to adjust the case of
-8.3 format filenames. <P>
-There are several options that control the way mangling is
-performed, and they are grouped here rather than listed separately. <P>
-All of these options can be set separately for each service (or globally,
-of course). <P>
-The options are: <P>
-"<A HREF="#mangle case">mangle case</A> = yes/no" controls if names that have
-characters that aren't of the "default" case are mangled. For example, if
-this is yes then a name like "Mail" would be mangled. Default no. <P>
-"<A HREF="#case sensitive">case sensitive</A> = yes/no" controls whether
-filenames are case sensitive. If they aren't then Samba must do a filename
-search and match on passed names. Default no. <P>
-"<A HREF="#default case">default case</A> = upper/lower" controls what the
-default case is for new filenames. Default lower. <P>
-"<A HREF="#preserve case">preserve case</A> = yes/no" controls if new
-files are created with the case that the client passes, or if they are
-forced to be the "default" case. Default no. <P>
-"<A HREF="#short preserve case">short preserve case</A> = yes/no"
-controls if new files which conform to 8.3 syntax, that is all in upper
-case and of suitable length, are created upper case, or if they are forced
-to be the "default" case. This option can be use with "preserve case =
-yes" to permit long filenames to retain their case, while short names
-are lowered. Default no. <P>
