->The term <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 either be made available in either SHARE mode or in
-USER mode. SHARE mode and USER mode security are documented under
-discussions regarding "security mode". The smb.conf configuration parameters
-that control security mode are: "security = user" and "security = share".</P
-><P
->No special action is needed other than to create user accounts. Stand-alone
-servers do NOT provide network logon services, meaning that machines that
-use this server do NOT perform a domain logon but instead make use only of
-the MS Windows logon which is local to the MS Windows workstation/server.</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 (/etc/passwd or /etc/shadow), may use a local smbpasswd
-file (/etc/samba/smbpasswd or /usr/local/samba/lib/private/smbpasswd), or
-may use an LDAP back end, or even via PAM and Winbind another CIFS/SMB
-server for authentication.</P

->This mode of server operation involves the samba machine being made a member
-of a domain security context. This means by definition that all user authentication
-will be done from a centrally defined authentication regime. The authentication
-regime may come from an NT3/4 style (old domain technology) server, or it may be
-provided from an Active Directory server (ADS) running on MS Windows 2000 or later.</P

-Windows NT3 and NT4 Domain Control architecture, but not in the manner that so many
-expect. The PDC seeds the Domain Control database (a part of the Windows registry) and
-it plays a key part in synchronisation of the domain authentication database. </P
-><P
->New to Samba-3.0.0 is the ability to use a back-end file that holds the same type of data as
-the NT4 style SAM (Security Account Manager) database (one of the registry files).
-The samba-3.0.0 SAM can be specified via the smb.conf file parameter "passwd backend" and
-valid options include <SPAN

->.
-The smbpasswd, tdbsam and ldapsam options can have a "_nua" suffix to indicate that No Unix
-Accounts need to be created. In other words, the Samba SAM will be independant of Unix/Linux
-system accounts, provided a uid range is defined from which SAM accounts can be created.</P

-authentication requests. The BDC is biased to answer logon requests so that on a network segment
-that has a BDC and a PDC the BDC will be most likely to service network logon requests. The PDC will
-answer network logon requests when the BDC is too busy (high load). A BDC can be promoted to
-a PDC. If the PDC is on line at the time that the BDC is promoted to PDC the previous PDC is
-automatically demoted to a BDC.</P
