- Workgroup name, operating system, and SMB server version.</para>
-
- <para>There will be a '+' in front of the workgroup name for
- machines that are local master browsers for that workgroup. There
- will be an '*' in front of the workgroup name for
- machines that are the domain master browser for that workgroup.
- Machines that are running Windows, Windows 95 or Windows 98 will
- not show any information about the operating system or server
- version.</para>
-
- <para>The command with <constant>-r</constant> option
- must be run on a system without <ulink
- url="nmbd.8.html"><command>nmbd</command></ulink> running.
- If <command>nmbd</command> is running on the system, you will
- only get the IP address and the DNS name of the machine. To
- get proper responses from Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines,
- the command must be run as root and with <constant>-r</constant>
- option on a machine without <command>nmbd</command> running.</para>

- <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
- <para>This program is part of the Samba suite.</para>
-
- <para><command>nmbd</command> is a server that understands
- and can reply to NetBIOS over IP name service requests, like
- those produced by SMB/CIFS clients such as Windows 95/98/ME,
- Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and LanManager clients. It also
- participates in the browsing protocols which make up the
- Windows "Network Neighborhood" view.</para>
-
- <para>SMB/CIFS clients, when they start up, may wish to
- locate an SMB/CIFS server. That is, they wish to know what
- IP number a specified host is using.</para>
-
- <para>Amongst other services, <command>nmbd</command> will
- listen for such requests, and if its own NetBIOS name is
- specified it will respond with the IP number of the host it
- is running on. Its "own NetBIOS name" is by
- default the primary DNS name of the host it is running on,
- but this can be overridden with the <emphasis>-n</emphasis>
- option (see OPTIONS below). Thus <command>nmbd</command> will
- reply to broadcast queries for its own name(s). Additional
- names for <command>nmbd</command> to respond on can be set
- via parameters in the <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html"><filename>
- smb.conf(5)</filename></ulink> configuration file.</para>
-
- <para><command>nmbd</command> can also be used as a WINS
- (Windows Internet Name Server) server. What this basically means
- is that it will act as a WINS database server, creating a
- database from name registration requests that it receives and
- replying to queries from clients for these names.</para>
-
- <para>In addition, <command>nmbd</command> can act as a WINS
- proxy, relaying broadcast queries from clients that do
- not understand how to talk the WINS protocol to a WINS
- server.</para>

- <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
-
- <para>This tool is part of the <ulink url="samba.7.html">
- Samba</ulink> suite.</para>
-
- <para>The pdbedit program is used to manage the users accounts
- stored in the sam database and can only be run by root.</para>
-
- <para>The pdbedit tool uses the passdb modular interface and is
- independent from the kind of users database used (currently there
- are smbpasswd, ldap, nis+ and tdb based and more can be added
- without changing the tool).</para>
-
- <para>There are five main ways to use pdbedit: adding a user account,
- removing a user account, modifing a user account, listing user
- accounts, importing users accounts.</para>

- <title>COMPONENTS</title>
-
- <para>The Samba suite is made up of several components. Each
- component is described in a separate manual page. It is strongly
- recommended that you read the documentation that comes with Samba
- and the manual pages of those components that you use. If the
- manual pages and documents aren't clear enough then please visit
- <ulink url="http://devel.samba.org/">http://devel.samba.org</ulink>
- for information on how to file a bug report or submit a patch.</para>
-
- <para>If you require help, visit the Samba webpage at
- <ulink url="http://samba.org/">http://www.samba.org/</ulink> and
- explore the many option available to you.
- </para>
-</refsect1>
-
-<refsect1>
- <title>AVAILABILITY</title>
-
- <para>The Samba software suite is licensed under the
- GNU Public License(GPL). A copy of that license should
- have come with the package in the file COPYING. You are
- encouraged to distribute copies of the Samba suite, but
- please obey the terms of this license.</para>
-
- <para>The latest version of the Samba suite can be
- obtained via anonymous ftp from samba.org in the
- directory pub/samba/. It is also available on several
- mirror sites worldwide.</para>

- <title id="FILEFORMATSECT">FILE FORMAT</title>
-
- <para>The file consists of sections and parameters. A section
- begins with the name of the section in square brackets and continues
- until the next section begins. Sections contain parameters of the
- form</para>
-
- <para><replaceable>name</replaceable> = <replaceable>value
- </replaceable></para>
-
- <para>The file is line-based - that is, each newline-terminated
- line represents either a comment, a section name or a parameter.</para>
-
- <para>Section and parameter names are not case sensitive.</para>
-
- <para>Only the first equals sign in a parameter is significant.
- Whitespace before or after the first equals sign is discarded.
- Leading, trailing and internal whitespace in section and parameter
- names is irrelevant. Leading and trailing whitespace in a parameter
- value is discarded. Internal whitespace within a parameter value
- is retained verbatim.</para>
-
- <para>Any line beginning with a semicolon (';') or a hash ('#')
- character is ignored, as are lines containing only whitespace.</para>
-
- <para>Any line ending in a '\' is continued
- on the next line in the customary UNIX fashion.</para>
-
- <para>The values following the equals sign in parameters are all
- either a string (no quotes needed) or a boolean, which may be given
- as yes/no, 0/1 or true/false. Case is not significant in boolean
- values, but is preserved in string values. Some items such as
- create modes are numeric.</para>
-</refsect1>
-
-<refsect1>
- <title>SECTION DESCRIPTIONS</title>
-
- <para>Each section in the configuration file (except for the
- [global] section) describes a shared resource (known
- as a "share"). The section name is the name of the
- shared resource and the parameters within the section define
- the shares attributes.</para>
-
- <para>There are three special sections, [global],
- [homes] and [printers], which are
- described under <emphasis>special sections</emphasis>. The
- following notes apply to ordinary section descriptions.</para>
-
- <para>A share consists of a directory to which access is being
- given plus a description of the access rights which are granted
- to the user of the service. Some housekeeping options are
- also specifiable.</para>
-
- <para>Sections are either file share services (used by the
- client as an extension of their native file systems) or
- printable services (used by the client to access print services
- on the host running the server).</para>
-
- <para>Sections may be designated <emphasis>guest</emphasis> services,
- in which case no password is required to access them. A specified
- UNIX <emphasis>guest account</emphasis> is used to define access
- privileges in this case.</para>
-
- <para>Sections other than guest services will require a password
- to access them. The client provides the username. As older clients
- only provide passwords and not usernames, you may specify a list
- of usernames to check against the password using the "user ="
- option in the share definition. For modern clients such as
- Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000, this should not be necessary.</para>
-
- <para>Note that the access rights granted by the server are
- masked by the access rights granted to the specified or guest
- UNIX user by the host system. The server does not grant more
- access than the host system grants.</para>
-
- <para>The following sample section defines a file space share.
- The user has write access to the path <filename>/home/bar</filename>.
- The share is accessed via the share name "foo":</para>
-
- <screen>
- <computeroutput>
- [foo]
- path = /home/bar
- read only = no
- </computeroutput>
- </screen>
-
- <para>The following sample section defines a printable share.
- The share is readonly, but printable. That is, the only write
- access permitted is via calls to open, write to and close a
- spool file. The <emphasis>guest ok</emphasis> parameter means
- access will be permitted as the default guest user (specified
- elsewhere):</para>
-
- <screen>
- <computeroutput>
- [aprinter]
- path = /usr/spool/public
- read only = yes
- printable = yes
- guest ok = yes
- </computeroutput>
- </screen>
-</refsect1>
-
-<refsect1>
- <title>SPECIAL SECTIONS</title>
-
- <refsect2>
- <title>The [global] section</title>
-
- <para>parameters in this section apply to the server
- as a whole, or are defaults for sections which do not
- specifically define certain items. See the notes
- under PARAMETERS for more information.</para>
- </refsect2>
-
- <refsect2>
- <title id="HOMESECT">The [homes] section</title>
-
- <para>If a section called homes is included in the
- configuration file, services connecting clients to their
- home directories can be created on the fly by the server.</para>
-
- <para>When the connection request is made, the existing
- sections are scanned. If a match is found, it is used. If no
- match is found, the requested section name is treated as a
- user name and looked up in the local password file. If the
- name exists and the correct password has been given, a share is
- created by cloning the [homes] section.</para>
-
- <para>Some modifications are then made to the newly
- created share:</para>
-
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem><para>The share name is changed from homes to
- the located username.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>If no path was given, the path is set to
- the user's home directory.</para></listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
-
- <para>If you decide to use a <emphasis>path =</emphasis> line
- in your [homes] section then you may find it useful
- to use the %S macro. For example :</para>
-
- <para><userinput>path = /data/pchome/%S</userinput></para>
-
- <para>would be useful if you have different home directories
- for your PCs than for UNIX access.</para>
-
- <para>This is a fast and simple way to give a large number
- of clients access to their home directories with a minimum
- of fuss.</para>
-
- <para>A similar process occurs if the requested section
- name is "homes", except that the share name is not
- changed to that of the requesting user. This method of using
- the [homes] section works well if different users share
- a client PC.</para>
-
- <para>The [homes] section can specify all the parameters
- a normal service section can specify, though some make more sense
- than others. The following is a typical and suitable [homes]
- section:</para>
-
- <screen>
- <computeroutput>
- [homes]
- read only = no
- </computeroutput>
- </screen>
-
- <para>An important point is that if guest access is specified
- in the [homes] section, all home directories will be
- visible to all clients <emphasis>without a password</emphasis>.
- In the very unlikely event that this is actually desirable, it
- would be wise to also specify <emphasis>read only
- access</emphasis>.</para>
-
- <para>Note that the <emphasis>browseable</emphasis> flag for
- auto home directories will be inherited from the global browseable
- flag, not the [homes] browseable flag. This is useful as
- it means setting <emphasis>browseable = no</emphasis> in
- the [homes] section will hide the [homes] share but make
- any auto home directories visible.</para>
- </refsect2>
-
- <refsect2>
- <title id="PRINTERSSECT">The [printers] section</title>
-
- <para>This section works like [homes],
- but for printers.</para>
-
- <para>If a [printers] section occurs in the
- configuration file, users are able to connect to any printer
- specified in the local host's printcap file.</para>
-
- <para>When a connection request is made, the existing sections
- are scanned. If a match is found, it is used. If no match is found,
- but a [homes] section exists, it is used as described
- above. Otherwise, the requested section name is treated as a
- printer name and the appropriate printcap file is scanned to see
- if the requested section name is a valid printer share name. If
- a match is found, a new printer share is created by cloning
- the [printers] section.</para>
-
- <para>A few modifications are then made to the newly created
- share:</para>
-
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem><para>The share name is set to the located printer
- name</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>If no printer name was given, the printer name
- is set to the located printer name</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>If the share does not permit guest access and
- no username was given, the username is set to the located
- printer name.</para></listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
-
- <para>Note that the [printers] service MUST be
- printable - if you specify otherwise, the server will refuse
- to load the configuration file.</para>
-
- <para>Typically the path specified would be that of a
- world-writeable spool directory with the sticky bit set on
- it. A typical [printers] entry would look like
- this:</para>
-
- <screen><computeroutput>
- [printers]
- path = /usr/spool/public
- guest ok = yes
- printable = yes
- </computeroutput></screen>
-
- <para>All aliases given for a printer in the printcap file
- are legitimate printer names as far as the server is concerned.
- If your printing subsystem doesn't work like that, you will have
- to set up a pseudo-printcap. This is a file consisting of one or
- more lines like this:</para>
-
- <screen>
- <computeroutput>
- alias|alias|alias|alias...
- </computeroutput>
- </screen>
-
- <para>Each alias should be an acceptable printer name for
- your printing subsystem. In the [global] section, specify
- the new file as your printcap. The server will then only recognize
- names found in your pseudo-printcap, which of course can contain
- whatever aliases you like. The same technique could be used
- simply to limit access to a subset of your local printers.</para>
-
- <para>An alias, by the way, is defined as any component of the
- first entry of a printcap record. Records are separated by newlines,
- components (if there are more than one) are separated by vertical
- bar symbols ('|').</para>
-
- <para>NOTE: On SYSV systems which use lpstat to determine what
- printers are defined on the system you may be able to use
- "printcap name = lpstat" to automatically obtain a list
- of printers. See the "printcap name" option
- for more details.</para>
- </refsect2>
-</refsect1>
-
-<refsect1>
- <title>PARAMETERS</title>
-
- <para>parameters define the specific attributes of sections.</para>
-
- <para>Some parameters are specific to the [global] section
- (e.g., <emphasis>security</emphasis>). Some parameters are usable
- in all sections (e.g., <emphasis>create mode</emphasis>). All others
- are permissible only in normal sections. For the purposes of the
- following descriptions the [homes] and [printers]
- sections will be considered normal. The letter <emphasis>G</emphasis>
- in parentheses indicates that a parameter is specific to the
- [global] section. The letter <emphasis>S</emphasis>
- indicates that a parameter can be specified in a service specific
- section. Note that all <emphasis>S</emphasis> parameters can also be specified in
- the [global] section - in which case they will define
- the default behavior for all services.</para>
-
- <para>parameters are arranged here in alphabetical order - this may
- not create best bedfellows, but at least you can find them! Where
- there are synonyms, the preferred synonym is described, others refer
- to the preferred synonym.</para>
-</refsect1>
-
-<refsect1>
- <title>VARIABLE SUBSTITUTIONS</title>
-
- <para>Many of the strings that are settable in the config file
- can take substitutions. For example the option "path =
- /tmp/%u" would be interpreted as "path =
- /tmp/john" if the user connected with the username john.</para>
-

- 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.</para>

- <para>There are several options that control the way mangling is
- performed, and they are grouped here rather than listed separately.
- For the defaults look at the output of the testparm program. </para>

- Windows NT PDC is an onerous task. This option allows <ulink

- <emphasis>ON DEMAND</emphasis> when a user accesses the Samba server.</para>

-
- <para>When the Windows user attempts to access the Samba server,
- at login (session setup in the SMB protocol) time, <ulink url="smbd.8.html">

- attempts to find a UNIX user in the UNIX password database to map the
- Windows user into. If this lookup fails, and <parameter>add user script
- </parameter> is set then <command>smbd</command> will
- call the specified script <emphasis>AS ROOT</emphasis>, expanding
- any <parameter>%u</parameter> argument to be the user name to create.</para>
-
- <para>If this script successfully creates the user then <command>smbd
- </command> will continue on as though the UNIX user
- already existed. In this way, UNIX users are dynamically created to

- this parameter for a share causes Samba to always report midnight
- 1-1-1980 as the create time for directories.</para>
-
- <para>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.</para>
-
- <para>However, Unix time semantics mean that the create time
- reported by Samba will be updated whenever a file is created or
- or deleted in the directory. NMAKE finds all object files in
- the object directory. The timestamp of the last one built is then
- compared to the timestamp of the object directory. If the
- directory's timestamp if newer, then all object files
- will be rebuilt. Enabling this option
- ensures directories always predate their contents and an NMAKE build
- will proceed as expected.</para>

- <listitem><para>This option allows you 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.</para>
-
- <para>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. Each line of the
- map file may be up to 1023 characters long.</para>
-
- <para>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.</para>
-
- <para>If any line begins with a '#' or a ';' then it is
- ignored</para>
-
- <para>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.</para>
-
- <para>For example to map from the name <constant>admin</constant>
- or <constant>administrator</constant> to the UNIX name <constant>
- root</constant> you would use:</para>
-
- <para><command>root = admin administrator</command></para>
-
- <para>Or to map anyone in the UNIX group <constant>system</constant>
- to the UNIX name <constant>sys</constant> you would use:</para>
-
- <para><command>sys = @system</command></para>
-
- <para>You can have as many mappings as you like in a username
- map file.</para>
-
-
- <para>If your system supports the NIS NETGROUP option then
- the netgroup database is checked before the <filename>/etc/group
- </filename> database for matching groups.</para>
-
- <para>You can map Windows usernames that have spaces in them
- by using double quotes around the name. For example:</para>
-
- <para><command>tridge = "Andrew Tridgell"</command></para>
-
- <para>would map the windows username "Andrew Tridgell" to the
- unix username "tridge".</para>
-
- <para>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.</para>
-
- <para><programlisting>
- !sys = mary fred
- guest = *
- </programlisting></para>
-
- <para>Note that the remapping is applied to all occurrences
- of usernames. Thus if you connect to \\server\fred and <constant>
- fred</constant> is remapped to <constant>mary</constant> then you
- will actually be connecting to \\server\mary and will need to
- supply a password suitable for <constant>mary</constant> not
- <constant>fred</constant>. The only exception to this is the
- username passed to the <link linkend="PASSWORDSERVER"><parameter>
- password server</parameter></link> (if you have one). The password
- server will receive whatever username the client supplies without
- modification.</para>
-
- <para>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.</para>

- <title>WARNINGS</title>
-
- <para>Although the configuration file permits service names
- to contain spaces, your client software may not. Spaces will
- be ignored in comparisons anyway, so it shouldn't be a
- problem - but be aware of the possibility.</para>
-
- <para>On a similar note, many clients - especially DOS clients -
- limit service names to eight characters. <ulink url="smbd.8.html">smbd(8)
- </ulink> has no such limitation, but attempts to connect from such
- clients will fail if they truncate the service names. For this reason
- you should probably keep your service names down to eight characters
- in length.</para>
-
- <para>Use of the [homes] and [printers] special sections make life
- for an administrator easy, but the various combinations of default
- attributes can be tricky. Take extreme care when designing these
- sections. In particular, ensure that the permissions on spool
- directories are correct.</para>

- <title>ACL FORMAT</title>
-
- <para>The format of an ACL is one or more ACL entries separated by
- either commas or newlines. An ACL entry is one of the following: </para>
-
- <para><programlisting>
-REVISION:&lt;revision number&gt;
-OWNER:&lt;sid or name&gt;
-GROUP:&lt;sid or name&gt;
-ACL:&lt;sid or name&gt;:&lt;type&gt;/&lt;flags&gt;/&lt;mask&gt;
- </programlisting></para>
-
-
- <para>The revision of the ACL specifies the internal Windows
- NT ACL revision for the security descriptor.
- If not specified it defaults to 1. Using values other than 1 may
- cause strange behaviour. </para>
-
- <para>The owner and group specify the owner and group sids for the
- object. If a SID in the format CWS-1-x-y-z is specified this is used,
- otherwise the name specified is resolved using the server on which
- the file or directory resides. </para>
-
- <para>ACLs specify permissions granted to the SID. This SID again
- can be specified in CWS-1-x-y-z format or as a name in which case
- it is resolved against the server on which the file or directory
- resides. The type, flags and mask values determine the type of
- access granted to the SID. </para>
-
- <para>The type can be either 0 or 1 corresponding to ALLOWED or
- DENIED access to the SID. The flags values are generally
- zero for file ACLs and either 9 or 2 for directory ACLs. Some
- common flags are: </para>
-
- <itemizedlist>

- </listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
-
- <para>At present flags can only be specified as decimal or
- hexadecimal values.</para>
-
- <para>The mask is a value which expresses the access right
- granted to the SID. It can be given as a decimal or hexadecimal value,
- or by using one of the following text strings which map to the NT
- file permissions of the same name. </para>

-
- <para>Some servers are fussy about the case of supplied usernames,
- passwords, share names (AKA service names) and machine names.
- If you fail to connect try giving all parameters in uppercase.
- </para>
-
- <para>It is often necessary to use the -n option when connecting
- to some types of servers. For example OS/2 LanManager insists
- on a valid NetBIOS name being used, so you need to supply a valid
- name that would be known to the server.</para>
-
- <para>smbclient supports long file names where the server
- supports the LANMAN2 protocol or above. </para>
-</refsect1>
-
-<refsect1>
- <title>ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES</title>
-
- <para>The variable <envar>USER</envar> may contain the
- username of the person using the client. This information is
- used only if the protocol level is high enough to support
- session-level passwords.</para>
-
-
- <para>The variable <envar>PASSWD</envar> may contain
- the password of the person using the client. This information is
- used only if the protocol level is high enough to support
- session-level passwords. </para>
-
- <para>The variable <envar>LIBSMB_PROG</envar> may contain
- the path, executed with system(), which the client should connect
- to instead of connecting to a server. This functionality is primarily
- intended as a development aid, and works best when using a LMHOSTS
- file</para>

- <title>INSTALLATION</title>
-
- <para>The location of the client program is a matter for
- individual system administrators. The following are thus
- suggestions only. </para>
-
- <para>It is recommended that the smbclient software be installed
- in the <filename>/usr/local/samba/bin/</filename> or <filename>
- /usr/samba/bin/</filename> directory, this directory readable
- by all, writeable only by root. The client program itself should
- be executable by all. The client should <emphasis>NOT</emphasis> be
- setuid or setgid! </para>
-
- <para>The client log files should be put in a directory readable
- and writeable only by the user. </para>
-
- <para>To test the client, you will need to know the name of a
- running SMB/CIFS server. It is possible to run <command>smbd(8)
- </command> as an ordinary user - running that server as a daemon
- on a user-accessible port (typically any port number over 1024)
- would provide a suitable test server. </para>
-</refsect1>
-
-
-<refsect1>
- <title>DIAGNOSTICS</title>
-
- <para>Most diagnostics issued by the client are logged in a
- specified log file. The log file name is specified at compile time,
- but may be overridden on the command line. </para>
-
- <para>The number and nature of diagnostics available depends
- on the debug level used by the client. If you have problems,
- set the debug level to 3 and peruse the log files. </para>

-
- <para>The <constant>close-share</constant> message-type sends a
- message to smbd which will then close the client connections to
- the named share. Note that this doesn't affect client connections
- to any other shares. This message-type takes an argument of the

- "*" character which will close all currently open shares.
- This may be useful if you made changes to the access controls on the share.
- This message can only be sent to <constant>smbd</constant>.</para>
-
- <para>The <constant>debug</constant> message-type allows

-
- <para>The <constant>force-election</constant> message-type can only be
- sent to the <constant>nmbd</constant> destination. This message
- causes the <command>nmbd</command> daemon to force a new browse
- master election.</para>
-
- <para>The <constant>ping</constant> message-type sends the
- number of "ping" messages specified by the parameter and waits
- for the same number of reply "pong" messages. This can be sent to
- any of the destinations.</para>
-
- <para>The <constant>profile</constant> message-type sends a
- message to an smbd to change the profile settings based on the
- parameter. The parameter can be "on" to turn on profile stats
- collection, "off" to turn off profile stats collection, "count"
- to enable only collection of count stats (time stats are
- disabled), and "flush" to zero the current profile stats. This can
- be sent to any smbd or nmbd destinations.</para>
-
- <para>The <constant>debuglevel</constant> message-type sends
- a "request debug level" message. The current debug level setting
- is returned by a "debuglevel" message. This can be
- sent to any of the destinations.</para>

- <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
- <para>This program is part of the Samba suite.</para>
-
- <para><command>smbd</command> is the server daemon that
- provides filesharing and printing services to Windows clients.
- The server provides filespace and printer services to
- clients using the SMB (or CIFS) protocol. This is compatible
- with the LanManager protocol, and can service LanManager
- clients. These include MSCLIENT 3.0 for DOS, Windows for
- Workgroups, Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000,
- OS/2, DAVE for Macintosh, and smbfs for Linux.</para>
-
- <para>An extensive description of the services that the
- server can provide is given in the man page for the
- configuration file controlling the attributes of those
- services (see <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html"><filename>smb.conf(5)
- </filename></ulink>. This man page will not describe the
- services, but will concentrate on the administrative aspects
- of running the server.</para>
-
- <para>Please note that there are significant security
- implications to running this server, and the <ulink
- url="smb.conf.5.html"><filename>smb.conf(5)</filename></ulink>
- manpage should be regarded as mandatory reading before
- proceeding with installation.</para>
-
- <para>A session is created whenever a client requests one.
- Each client gets a copy of the server for each session. This
- copy then services all connections made by the client during
- that session. When all connections from its client are closed,
- the copy of the server for that client terminates.</para>
-
- <para>The configuration file, and any files that it includes,
- are automatically reloaded every minute, if they change. You
- can force a reload by sending a SIGHUP to the server. Reloading
- the configuration file will not affect connections to any service
- that is already established. Either the user will have to
- disconnect from the service, or <command>smbd</command> killed and restarted.</para>

- <title>PAM INTERACTION</title>
- <para>Samba uses PAM for authentication (when presented with a plaintext

- <title>DIAGNOSTICS</title>
-
- <para>Most diagnostics issued by the server are logged
- in a specified log file. The log file name is specified
- at compile time, but may be overridden on the command line.</para>
-
- <para>The number and nature of diagnostics available depends
- on the debug level used by the server. If you have problems, set
- the debug level to 3 and peruse the log files.</para>
-
- <para>Most messages are reasonably self-explanatory. Unfortunately,
- at the time this man page was created, there are too many diagnostics
- available in the source code to warrant describing each and every
- diagnostic. At this stage your best bet is still to grep the
- source code and inspect the conditions that gave rise to the
- diagnostics you are seeing.</para>

- <title>SIGNALS</title>
-
- <para>Sending the <command>smbd</command> a SIGHUP will cause it to
- reload its <filename>smb.conf</filename> configuration
- file within a short period of time.</para>
-
- <para>To shut down a user's <command>smbd</command> process it is recommended
- that <command>SIGKILL (-9)</command> <emphasis>NOT</emphasis>
- be used, except as a last resort, as this may leave the shared
- memory area in an inconsistent state. The safe way to terminate
- an <command>smbd</command> is to send it a SIGTERM (-15) signal and wait for
- it to die on its own.</para>
-
- <para>The debug log level of <command>smbd</command> may be raised
- or lowered using <ulink url="smbcontrol.1.html"><command>smbcontrol(1)
- </command></ulink> program (SIGUSR[1|2] signals are no longer used in
- Samba 2.2). This is to allow transient problems to be diagnosed,
- whilst still running at a normally low log level.</para>
-
- <para>Note that as the signal handlers send a debug write,
- they are not re-entrant in <command>smbd</command>. This you should wait until
- <command>smbd</command> is in a state of waiting for an incoming SMB before
- issuing them. It is possible to make the signal handlers safe
- by un-blocking the signals before the select call and re-blocking
- them after, however this would affect performance.</para>

- unknown options.</para>
-
- <para><command>smbmount</command> is a daemon. After mounting it keeps running until
- the mounted smbfs is umounted. It will log things that happen
- when in daemon mode using the "machine name" smbmount, so
- typically this output will end up in <filename>log.smbmount</filename>. The
- <command>smbmount</command> process may also be called mount.smbfs.</para>

- <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
-
- <para>This tool is part of the <ulink url="samba.7.html">
- Samba</ulink> suite.</para>
-
- <para>The smbpasswd program has several different
- functions, depending on whether it is run by the <emphasis>root</emphasis>
- user or not. When run as a normal user it allows the user to change
- the password used for their SMB sessions on any machines that store
- SMB passwords. </para>
-
- <para>By default (when run with no arguments) it will attempt to
- change the current user's SMB password on the local machine. This is
- similar to the way the <command>passwd(1)</command> program works.
- <command>smbpasswd</command> differs from how the passwd program works
- however in that it is not <emphasis>setuid root</emphasis> but works in
- a client-server mode and communicates with a locally running
- <command>smbd(8)</command>. As a consequence in order for this to
- succeed the smbd daemon must be running on the local machine. On a
- UNIX machine the encrypted SMB passwords are usually stored in
- the <filename>smbpasswd(5)</filename> file. </para>
-
- <para>When run by an ordinary user with no options, smbpasswd
- will prompt them for their old SMB password and then ask them
- for their new password twice, to ensure that the new password
- was typed correctly. No passwords will be echoed on the screen
- whilst being typed. If you have a blank SMB password (specified by
- the string "NO PASSWORD" in the smbpasswd file) then just press
- the &lt;Enter&gt; key when asked for your old password. </para>
-
- <para>smbpasswd can also be used by a normal user to change their
- SMB password on remote machines, such as Windows NT Primary Domain
- Controllers. See the (-r) and -U options below. </para>
-
- <para>When run by root, smbpasswd allows new users to be added
- and deleted in the smbpasswd file, as well as allows changes to
- the attributes of the user in this file to be made. When run by root,
- <command>smbpasswd</command> accesses the local smbpasswd file
- directly, thus enabling changes to be made even if smbd is not
- running. </para>

- password command. Note that the default passdb backends require

-
- <para>Since <command>smbpasswd</command> works in client-server
- mode communicating with a local smbd for a non-root user then
- the smbd daemon must be running for this to work. A common problem
- is to add a restriction to the hosts that may access the <command>
- smbd</command> running on the local machine by specifying a
- <parameter>allow hosts</parameter> or <parameter>deny hosts</parameter>
- entry in the <filename>smb.conf</filename> file and neglecting to
- allow "localhost" access to the smbd. </para>
-
- <para>In addition, the smbpasswd command is only useful if Samba
- has been set up to use encrypted passwords. See the file
- <filename>ENCRYPTION.txt</filename> in the docs directory for details
- on how to do this. </para>

- <para>This program is part of the <ulink url="samba.7.html">
- Samba</ulink> suite.</para>
-
- <para><command>winbindd</command> is a daemon that provides
- a service for the Name Service Switch capability that is present
- in most modern C libraries. The Name Service Switch allows user
- and system information to be obtained from different databases
- services such as NIS or DNS. The exact behaviour can be configured
- throught the <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> file.
- Users and groups are allocated as they are resolved to a range
- of user and group ids specified by the administrator of the
- Samba system.</para>
-
- <para>The service provided by <command>winbindd</command> is called `winbind' and
- can be used to resolve user and group information from a
- Windows NT server. The service can also provide authentication
- services via an associated PAM module. </para>
-
- <para>
- The <filename>pam_winbind</filename> module in the 2.2.2 release only
- supports the <parameter>auth</parameter> and <parameter>account</parameter>
- module-types. The latter simply
- performs a getpwnam() to verify that the system can obtain a uid for the
- user. If the <filename>libnss_winbind</filename> library has been correctly
- installed, this should always succeed.

- following setup. This was tested on a RedHat 6.2 Linux box. </para>
-
- <para>In <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> put the
- following:</para>
-
- <para><programlisting>
-passwd: files winbind
-group: files winbind
- </programlisting></para>
-
- <para>In <filename>/etc/pam.d/*</filename> replace the
- <parameter>auth</parameter> lines with something like this: </para>
-
-
- <para><programlisting>
-auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
-auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
-auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
-auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_first_pass shadow nullok
- </programlisting></para>
-
-
- <para>Note in particular the use of the <parameter>sufficient</parameter>
- keyword and the <parameter>use_first_pass</parameter> keyword. </para>
-
- <para>Now replace the account lines with this: </para>
-
- <para><command>account required /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
- </command></para>
-
- <para>The next step is to join the domain. To do that use the
- <command>smbpasswd</command> program like this: </para>
-
- <para><command>smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r PDC -U
- Administrator</command></para>
-
- <para>The username after the <parameter>-U</parameter> can be any
- Domain user that has administrator privileges on the machine.
- Substitute your domain name for "DOMAIN" and the name of your PDC
- for "PDC".</para>
-
- <para>Next copy <filename>libnss_winbind.so</filename> to
- <filename>/lib</filename> and <filename>pam_winbind.so</filename>
- to <filename>/lib/security</filename>. A symbolic link needs to be
- made from <filename>/lib/libnss_winbind.so</filename> to
- <filename>/lib/libnss_winbind.so.2</filename>. If you are using an
- older version of glibc then the target of the link should be
- <filename>/lib/libnss_winbind.so.1</filename>.</para>
-
- <para>Finally, setup a <filename>smb.conf</filename> containing directives like the
- following: </para>
-
- <para><programlisting>
-[global]
- winbind separator = +
- winbind cache time = 10
- template shell = /bin/bash
- template homedir = /home/%D/%U
- winbind uid = 10000-20000
- winbind gid = 10000-20000
- workgroup = DOMAIN
- security = domain
- password server = *
- </programlisting></para>
-
-
- <para>Now start winbindd and you should find that your user and
- group database is expanded to include your NT users and groups,
- and that you can login to your unix box as a domain user, using
- the DOMAIN+user syntax for the username. You may wish to use the
- commands <command>getent passwd</command> and <command>getent group
- </command> to confirm the correct operation of winbindd.</para>

- <title>NOTES</title>
-
- <para>The following notes are useful when configuring and
- running <command>winbindd</command>: </para>
-
- <para><command>nmbd</command> must be running on the local machine
- for <command>winbindd</command> to work. <command>winbindd</command>
- queries the list of trusted domains for the Windows NT server
- on startup and when a SIGHUP is received. Thus, for a running <command>
- winbindd</command> to become aware of new trust relationships between
- servers, it must be sent a SIGHUP signal. </para>
-
- <para>Client processes resolving names through the <command>winbindd</command>
- nsswitch module read an environment variable named <envar>
- $WINBINDD_DOMAIN</envar>. If this variable contains a comma separated
- list of Windows NT domain names, then winbindd will only resolve users
- and groups within those Windows NT domains. </para>
-
- <para>PAM is really easy to misconfigure. Make sure you know what
- you are doing when modifying PAM configuration files. It is possible
- to set up PAM such that you can no longer log into your system. </para>
-
- <para>If more than one UNIX machine is running <command>winbindd</command>,
- then in general the user and groups ids allocated by winbindd will not
- be the same. The user and group ids will only be valid for the local
- machine.</para>
-
- <para>If the the Windows NT RID to UNIX user and group id mapping
- file is damaged or destroyed then the mappings will be lost. </para>
