- <para>Only the first equals sign in a parameter is significant.
- Whitespace before or after the first equals sign is discarded.

- <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>
-
- <note><para>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></note>

- <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>

- <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>

- <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. <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
- <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> 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>
