In many -cases a stand-alone server is configured with a minimum of security control -with the intent that all data served will be readily accessible to all users. -</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2901965"></a>Features and Benefits</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p> -Stand-Alone servers can be as secure or as insecure as needs dictate. They can -have simple or complex configurations. Above all, despite the hoopla about -Domain security they remain a very common installation. -</p><p> -If all that is needed is a server for read-only files, or for -printers alone, it may not make sense to affect a complex installation. -For example: A drafting office needs to store old drawings and reference -standards. No-one can write files to the server as it is legislatively -important that all documents remain unaltered. A share mode read-only stand-alone -server is an ideal solution. -</p><p> -Another situation that warrants simplicity is an office that has many printers -that are queued off a single central server. Everyone needs to be able to print -to the printers, there is no need to affect any access controls and no files will -be served from the print server. Again a share mode stand-alone server makes -a great solution. -</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2902003"></a>Background</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p> -The term <span class="emphasis"><em>stand-alone server</em></span> means that the server -will provide local authentication and access control for all resources -that are available from it. In general this means that there will be a -local user database. In more technical terms, it means that resources -on the machine will be made available in either SHARE mode or in -USER mode. -</p><p> -No special action is needed other than to create user accounts. Stand-alone -servers do NOT provide network logon services. This means that machines that -use this server do NOT perform a domain logon to it. Whatever logon facility -the workstations are subject to is independent of this machine. It is however -necessary to accommodate any network user so that the logon name they use will -be translated (mapped) locally on the stand-alone server to a locally known -user name. There are several ways this can be done. -</p><p> -Samba tends to blur the distinction a little in respect of what is -a stand-alone server. This is because the authentication database may be -local or on a remote server, even if from the Samba protocol perspective -the Samba server is NOT a member of a domain security context. -</p><p> -Through the use of PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) and nsswitch -(the name service switcher) the source of authentication may reside on -another server. We would be inclined to call this the authentication server. -This means that the Samba server may use the local Unix/Linux system password database -(<tt class="filename">/etc/passwd</tt> or <tt class="filename">/etc/shadow</tt>), may use a -local smbpasswd file, or may use -an LDAP back end, or even via PAM and Winbind another CIFS/SMB server -for authentication. -</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2902071"></a>Example Configuration</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p> -The following examples are designed to inspire simplicity.

Assume that all the reference documents -are stored in the directory /export, that the documents are owned by a user other than -nobody. No home directories are shared, that are no users in the <tt class="filename">/etc/passwd</tt> -Unix system database. This is a very simple system to administer. -</p><pre class="programlisting"> - # Global parameters - [global] - workgroup = MYGROUP - netbios name = REFDOCS - security = SHARE - passdb backend = guest - wins server = 192.168.1.1 - - [data] - comment = Data - path = /export - guest only = Yes -</pre><p> -In the above example the machine name is set to REFDOCS, the workgroup is set to the name -of the local workgroup so that the machine will appear in with systems users are familiar -with. The only password backend required is the "guest" backend so as to allow default -unprivileged account names to be used.
