+>Overview of browsing</A
+></H1
+><P
+>SMB networking provides a mechanism by which clients can access a list
+of machines in a network, a so-called "browse list". This list
+contains machines that are ready to offer file and/or print services
+to other machines within the network. Thus it does not include
+machines which aren't currently able to do server tasks. The browse
+list is heavily used by all SMB clients. Configuration of SMB
+browsing has been problematic for some Samba users, hence this
+document.</P
+><P
+>Browsing will NOT work if name resolution from NetBIOS names to IP
+addresses does not function correctly. Use of a WINS server is highly
+recommended to aid the resolution of NetBIOS (SMB) names to IP addresses.
+WINS allows remote segment clients to obtain NetBIOS name_type information
+that can NOT be provided by any other means of name resolution.</P

+>Browsing support in samba</A
+></H1
+><P
+>Samba now fully supports browsing. The browsing is supported by nmbd
+and is also controlled by options in the smb.conf file (see smb.conf(5)).</P
+><P
+>Samba can act as a local browse master for a workgroup and the ability
+for samba to support domain logons and scripts is now available. See
+DOMAIN.txt for more information on domain logons.</P
+><P
+>Samba can also act as a domain master browser for a workgroup. This
+means that it will collate lists from local browse masters into a
+wide area network server list. In order for browse clients to
+resolve the names they may find in this list, it is recommended that
+both samba and your clients use a WINS server.</P
+><P
+>Note that you should NOT set Samba to be the domain master for a
+workgroup that has the same name as an NT Domain: on each wide area
+network, you must only ever have one domain master browser per workgroup,
+regardless of whether it is NT, Samba or any other type of domain master
+that is providing this service.</P
+><P
+>[Note that nmbd can be configured as a WINS server, but it is not
+necessary to specifically use samba as your WINS server. NTAS can
+be configured as your WINS server. In a mixed NT server and
+samba environment on a Wide Area Network, it is recommended that
+you use the NT server's WINS server capabilities. In a samba-only
+environment, it is recommended that you use one and only one nmbd
+as your WINS server].</P
+><P
+>To get browsing to work you need to run nmbd as usual, but will need
+to use the "workgroup" option in smb.conf to control what workgroup
+Samba becomes a part of.</P
+><P
+>Samba also has a useful option for a Samba server to offer itself for
+browsing on another subnet. It is recommended that this option is only
+used for 'unusual' purposes: announcements over the internet, for
+example. See "remote announce" in the smb.conf man page. </P

+></H1
+><P
+>If something doesn't work then hopefully the log.nmb file will help
+you track down the problem. Try a debug level of 2 or 3 for finding
+problems. Also note that the current browse list usually gets stored
+in text form in a file called browse.dat.</P
+><P
+>Note that if it doesn't work for you, then you should still be able to
+type the server name as \\SERVER in filemanager then hit enter and
+filemanager should display the list of available shares.</P
+><P
+>Some people find browsing fails because they don't have the global
+"guest account" set to a valid account. Remember that the IPC$
+connection that lists the shares is done as guest, and thus you must
+have a valid guest account.</P
+><P
+>Also, a lot of people are getting bitten by the problem of too many
+parameters on the command line of nmbd in inetd.conf. This trick is to
+not use spaces between the option and the parameter (eg: -d2 instead
+of -d 2), and to not use the -B and -N options. New versions of nmbd
+are now far more likely to correctly find your broadcast and network
+address, so in most cases these aren't needed.</P
+><P
+>The other big problem people have is that their broadcast address,
+netmask or IP address is wrong (specified with the "interfaces" option
+in smb.conf)</P

+>Browsing across subnets</A
+></H1
+><P
+>With the release of Samba 1.9.17(alpha1 and above) Samba has been
+updated to enable it to support the replication of browse lists
+across subnet boundaries. New code and options have been added to
+achieve this. This section describes how to set this feature up
+in different settings.</P
+><P
+>To see browse lists that span TCP/IP subnets (ie. networks separated
+by routers that don't pass broadcast traffic) you must set up at least
+one WINS server. The WINS server acts as a DNS for NetBIOS names, allowing
+NetBIOS name to IP address translation to be done by doing a direct
+query of the WINS server. This is done via a directed UDP packet on
+port 137 to the WINS server machine. The reason for a WINS server is
+that by default, all NetBIOS name to IP address translation is done
+by broadcasts from the querying machine. This means that machines
+on one subnet will not be able to resolve the names of machines on
+another subnet without using a WINS server.</P
+><P
+>Remember, for browsing across subnets to work correctly, all machines,
+be they Windows 95, Windows NT, or Samba servers must have the IP address
+of a WINS server given to them by a DHCP server, or by manual configuration
+(for Win95 and WinNT, this is in the TCP/IP Properties, under Network
+settings) for Samba this is in the smb.conf file.</P

+>How does cross subnet browsing work ?</A
+></H2
+><P
+>Cross subnet browsing is a complicated dance, containing multiple
+moving parts. It has taken Microsoft several years to get the code
+that achieves this correct, and Samba lags behind in some areas.
+However, with the 1.9.17 release, Samba is capable of cross subnet
+browsing when configured correctly.</P
+><P
+>Consider a network set up as follows :</P

+></P
+><P
+>Consisting of 3 subnets (1, 2, 3) connected by two routers
+(R1, R2) - these do not pass broadcasts. Subnet 1 has 5 machines
+on it, subnet 2 has 4 machines, subnet 3 has 4 machines. Assume
+for the moment that all these machines are configured to be in the
+same workgroup (for simplicities sake). Machine N1_C on subnet 1
+is configured as Domain Master Browser (ie. it will collate the
+browse lists for the workgroup). Machine N2_D is configured as
+WINS server and all the other machines are configured to register
+their NetBIOS names with it.</P
+><P
+>As all these machines are booted up, elections for master browsers
+will take place on each of the three subnets. Assume that machine
+N1_C wins on subnet 1, N2_B wins on subnet 2, and N3_D wins on
+subnet 3 - these machines are known as local master browsers for
+their particular subnet. N1_C has an advantage in winning as the
+local master browser on subnet 1 as it is set up as Domain Master
+Browser.</P
+><P
+>On each of the three networks, machines that are configured to
+offer sharing services will broadcast that they are offering
+these services. The local master browser on each subnet will
+receive these broadcasts and keep a record of the fact that
+the machine is offering a service. This list of records is
+the basis of the browse list. For this case, assume that
+all the machines are configured to offer services so all machines
+will be on the browse list.</P
+><P
+>For each network, the local master browser on that network is
+considered 'authoritative' for all the names it receives via
+local broadcast. This is because a machine seen by the local
+master browser via a local broadcast must be on the same
+network as the local master browser and thus is a 'trusted'
+and 'verifiable' resource. Machines on other networks that
+the local master browsers learn about when collating their
+browse lists have not been directly seen - these records are
+called 'non-authoritative'.</P

+the machines you would see in your network neighborhood if

+(N2_D) for the IP address associated with the NetBIOS name
+WORKGROUP&gt;1B&lt;. This name was registerd by the Domain master
+browser (N1_C) with the WINS server as soon as it was booted.</P
+><P
+>Once N2_B knows the address of the Domain master browser it
+tells it that is the local master browser for subnet 2 by
+sending a MasterAnnouncement packet as a UDP port 138 packet.
+It then synchronizes with it by doing a NetServerEnum2 call. This
+tells the Domain Master Browser to send it all the server
+names it knows about. Once the domain master browser receives
+the MasterAnnouncement packet it schedules a synchronization
+request to the sender of that packet. After both synchronizations

+broadcast isolated subnet.</P
+><P
+>It is possible to configure two samba servers to attempt to become
+the domain master browser for a domain. The first server that comes
+up will be the domain master browser. All other samba servers will
+attempt to become the domain master browser every 5 minutes. They
+will find that another samba server is already the domain master
+browser and will fail. This provides automatic redundancy, should
+the current domain master browser fail.</P

+report. Also, please see if it has changed between releases, as we
+may be changing the bug reporting mechanism at some time.</P
+><P
+>Please also do as much as you can yourself to help track down the
+bug. Samba is maintained by a dedicated group of people who volunteer
+their time, skills and efforts. We receive far more mail about it than
+we can possibly answer, so you have a much higher chance of an answer
+and a fix if you send us a "developer friendly" bug report that lets
+us fix it fast. </P
+><P
+>Do not assume that if you post the bug to the comp.protocols.smb
+newsgroup or the mailing list that we will read it. If you suspect that your
+problem is not a bug but a configuration problem then it is better to send
+it to the Samba mailing list, as there are (at last count) 5000 other users on
+that list that may be able to help you.</P

+><P
+>Before submitting a bug report check your config for silly
+errors. Look in your log files for obvious messages that tell you that
+you've misconfigured something and run testparm to test your config
+file for correct syntax.</P
+><P
+>Have you run through the <A
+HREF="Diagnosis.html"
+TARGET="_top"
+>diagnosis</A
+>?
+This is very important.</P
+><P
+>If you include part of a log file with your bug report then be sure to
+annotate it with exactly what you were doing on the client at the
+time, and exactly what the results were.</P

+>Debug levels</A
+></H1
+><P
+>If the bug has anything to do with Samba behaving incorrectly as a
+server (like refusing to open a file) then the log files will probably
+be very useful. Depending on the problem a log level of between 3 and
+10 showing the problem may be appropriate. A higher level givesmore
+detail, but may use too much disk space.</P
+><P
+>To set the debug level use <B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>log level =</B
+> in your
+<TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>smb.conf</TT
+>. You may also find it useful to set the log
+level higher for just one machine and keep separate logs for each machine.
+To do this use:</P
+><P
+><PRE
+CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
+>log level = 10
+log file = /usr/local/samba/lib/log.%m
+include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m</PRE
+></P
+><P
+>then create a file
+<TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.machine</TT
+> where
+"machine" is the name of the client you wish to debug. In that file
+put any smb.conf commands you want, for example
+<B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>log level=</B
+> may be useful. This also allows you to
+experiment with different security systems, protocol levels etc on just
+one machine.</P
+><P
+>The <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>smb.conf</TT
+> entry <B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>log level =</B
+>
+is synonymous with the entry <B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>debuglevel =</B
+> that has been
+used in older versions of Samba and is being retained for backwards
+compatibility of smb.conf files.</P
+><P
+>As the <B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>log level =</B
+> value is increased you will record
+a significantly increasing level of debugging information. For most
+debugging operations you may not need a setting higher than 3. Nearly
+all bugs can be tracked at a setting of 10, but be prepared for a VERY
+large volume of log data.</P
+></DIV
+><DIV
+CLASS="SECT1"
+><HR><H1
+CLASS="SECT1"
+><A
+NAME="AEN33"
+>Internal errors</A
+></H1
+><P
+>If you get a "INTERNAL ERROR" message in your log files it means that
+Samba got an unexpected signal while running. It is probably a
+segmentation fault and almost certainly means a bug in Samba (unless
+you have faulty hardware or system software)</P
+><P
+>If the message came from smbd then it will probably be accompanied by
+a message which details the last SMB message received by smbd. This
+info is often very useful in tracking down the problem so please
+include it in your bug report.</P
+><P
+>You should also detail how to reproduce the problem, if
+possible. Please make this reasonably detailed.</P
+><P
+>You may also find that a core file appeared in a "corefiles"
+subdirectory of the directory where you keep your samba log
+files. This file is the most useful tool for tracking down the bug. To
+use it you do this:</P
+><P
+><B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>gdb smbd core</B
+></P
+><P
+>adding appropriate paths to smbd and core so gdb can find them. If you
+don't have gdb then try "dbx". Then within the debugger use the
+command "where" to give a stack trace of where the problem
+occurred. Include this in your mail.</P
+><P
+>If you known any assembly language then do a "disass" of the routine
+where the problem occurred (if its in a library routine then
+disassemble the routine that called it) and try to work out exactly
+where the problem is by looking at the surrounding code. Even if you
+don't know assembly then incuding this info in the bug report can be
+useful. </P
+></DIV
+><DIV
+CLASS="SECT1"
+><HR><H1
+CLASS="SECT1"
+><A
+NAME="AEN43"
+>Attaching to a running process</A
+></H1
+><P
+>Unfortunately some unixes (in particular some recent linux kernels)
+refuse to dump a core file if the task has changed uid (which smbd
+does often). To debug with this sort of system you could try to attach
+to the running process using "gdb smbd PID" where you get PID from
+smbstatus. Then use "c" to continue and try to cause the core dump
+using the client. The debugger should catch the fault and tell you
+where it occurred.</P

+CLASS="SECT1"
+><A

+>The best sort of bug report is one that includes a fix! If you send us
+patches please use <B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>diff -u</B
+> format if your version of
+diff supports it, otherwise use <B
+CLASS="COMMAND"

+>In all of the tests I assume you have a Samba server called BIGSERVER
+and a PC called ACLIENT both in workgroup TESTGROUP. I also assume the
+PC is running windows for workgroups with a recent copy of the
+microsoft tcp/ip stack. Alternatively, your PC may be running Windows
+95 or Windows NT (Workstation or Server).</P
+><P
+>The procedure is similar for other types of clients.</P
+><P
+>I also assume you know the name of an available share in your

+><P
+>Please pay attention to the error messages you receive. If any error message
+reports that your server is being unfriendly you should first check that you
+IP name resolution is correctly set up. eg: Make sure your /etc/resolv.conf
+file points to name servers that really do exist.</P
+><P
+>Also, if you do not have DNS server access for name resolution please check

+software or /etc/hosts file is not correctly setup. It is possible to
+run samba without DNS entries for the server and client, but I assume
+you do have correct entries for the remainder of these tests. </P
+><P
+>Another reason why ping might fail is if your host is running firewall
+software. You will need to relax the rules to let in the workstation
+in question, perhaps by allowing access from another subnet (on Linux
+this is done via the ipfwadm program.)</P

+><P
+>Run the command "smbclient -L BIGSERVER" on the unix box. You
+should get a list of available shares back. </P
+><P
+>If you get a error message containing the string "Bad password" then
+you probably have either an incorrect "hosts allow", "hosts deny" or
+"valid users" line in your smb.conf, or your guest account is not
+valid. Check what your guest account is using "testparm" and
+temporarily remove any "hosts allow", "hosts deny", "valid users" or
+"invalid users" lines.</P
+><P
+>If you get a "connection refused" response then the smbd server may
+not be running. If you installed it in inetd.conf then you probably edited
+that file incorrectly. If you installed it as a daemon then check that
+it is running, and check that the netbios-ssn port is in a LISTEN
+state using "netstat -a".</P
+><P
+>If you get a "session request failed" then the server refused the
+connection. If it says "Your server software is being unfriendly" then
+its probably because you have invalid command line parameters to smbd,
+or a similar fatal problem with the initial startup of smbd. Also
+check your config file (smb.conf) for syntax errors with "testparm"
+and that the various directories where samba keeps its log and lock
+files exist.</P
+><P
+>There are a number of reasons for which smbd may refuse or decline
+a session request. The most common of these involve one or more of
+the following smb.conf file entries:</P
+><P
+><PRE
+CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
+> hosts deny = ALL
+ hosts allow = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy
+ bind interfaces only = Yes</PRE
+></P
+><P
+>In the above, no allowance has been made for any session requests that
+will automatically translate to the loopback adaptor address 127.0.0.1.
+To solve this problem change these lines to:</P
+><P
+><PRE
+CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
+> hosts deny = ALL
+ hosts allow = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy 127.</PRE
+></P
+><P
+>Do NOT use the "bind interfaces only" parameter where you may wish to
+use the samba password change facility, or where smbclient may need to
+access local service for name resolution or for local resource
+connections. (Note: the "bind interfaces only" parameter deficiency
+where it will not allow connections to the loopback address will be
+fixed soon).</P
+><P
+>Another common cause of these two errors is having something already running
+on port 139, such as Samba (ie: smbd is running from inetd already) or
+something like Digital's Pathworks. Check your inetd.conf file before trying
+to start smbd as a daemon, it can avoid a lot of frustration!</P
+><P
+>And yet another possible cause for failure of TEST 3 is when the subnet mask
+and / or broadcast address settings are incorrect. Please check that the
+network interface IP Address / Broadcast Address / Subnet Mask settings are
+correct and that Samba has correctly noted these in the log.nmb file.</P

+><P
+>Run the command "nmblookup -B BIGSERVER __SAMBA__". You should get the
+IP address of your Samba server back.</P
+><P
+>If you don't then nmbd is incorrectly installed. Check your inetd.conf
+if you run it from there, or that the daemon is running and listening
+to udp port 137.</P
+><P
+>One common problem is that many inetd implementations can't take many

+NAME="AEN3"
+>Introduction</A
+></H1
+><P
+>This is a short description of how to debug printing problems with
+Samba. This describes how to debug problems with printing from a SMB
+client to a Samba server, not the other way around. For the reverse
+see the examples/printing directory.</P
+><P
+>Ok, so you want to print to a Samba server from your PC. The first
+thing you need to understand is that Samba does not actually do any
+printing itself, it just acts as a middleman between your PC client
+and your Unix printing subsystem. Samba receives the file from the PC
+then passes the file to a external "print command". What print command
+you use is up to you.</P
+><P
+>The whole things is controlled using options in smb.conf. The most
+relevant options (which you should look up in the smb.conf man page)
+are:</P
+><P
+><PRE
+CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
+> [global]
+ print command - send a file to a spooler
+ lpq command - get spool queue status
+ lprm command - remove a job
+ [printers]
+ path = /var/spool/lpd/samba</PRE
+></P
+><P
+>The following are nice to know about:</P
+><P
+><PRE
+CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
+> queuepause command - stop a printer or print queue
+ queueresume command - start a printer or print queue</PRE
+></P
+><P
+>Example:</P
+><P
+><PRE
+CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
+> print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s
+ lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p %s
+ lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
+ queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p stop
+ queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p start</PRE
+></P
+><P
+>Samba should set reasonable defaults for these depending on your
+system type, but it isn't clairvoyant. It is not uncommon that you
+have to tweak these for local conditions. The commands should
+always have fully specified pathnames, as the smdb may not have
+the correct PATH values.</P
+><P
+>When you send a job to Samba to be printed, it will make a temporary
+copy of it in the directory specified in the [printers] section.
+and it should be periodically cleaned out. The lpr -r option
+requests that the temporary copy be removed after printing; If
+printing fails then you might find leftover files in this directory,
+and it should be periodically cleaned out. Samba used the lpq
+command to determine the "job number" assigned to your print job
+by the spooler.</P
+><P
+>The %&gt;letter&lt; are "macros" that get dynamically replaced with appropriate
+values when they are used. The %s gets replaced with the name of the spool
+file that Samba creates and the %p gets replaced with the name of the
+printer. The %j gets replaced with the "job number" which comes from
+the lpq output.</P

+>Debugging printer problems</A
+></H1
+><P
+>One way to debug printing problems is to start by replacing these
+command with shell scripts that record the arguments and the contents
+of the print file. A simple example of this kind of things might
+be:</P
+><P
+><PRE
+CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
+> print command = /tmp/saveprint %p %s
+
+ #!/bin/saveprint
+ # we make sure that we are the right user
+ /usr/bin/id -p &#62;/tmp/tmp.print
+ # we run the command and save the error messages
+ # replace the command with the one appropriate for your system
+ /usr/bin/lpr -r -P$1 $2 2&#62;&#62;&#38;/tmp/tmp.print</PRE
+></P
+><P
+>Then you print a file and try removing it. You may find that the
+print queue needs to be stopped in order to see the queue status
+and remove the job:</P
+><P
+><PRE
+CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
+>&#13;h4: {42} % echo hi &#62;/tmp/hi
+h4: {43} % smbclient //localhost/lw4
+added interface ip=10.0.0.4 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
+Password:
+Domain=[ASTART] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.7]
+smb: \&#62; print /tmp/hi
+putting file /tmp/hi as hi-17534 (0.0 kb/s) (average 0.0 kb/s)
+smb: \&#62; queue
+1049 3 hi-17534
+smb: \&#62; cancel 1049
+Error cancelling job 1049 : code 0
+smb: \&#62; cancel 1049
+Job 1049 cancelled
+smb: \&#62; queue
+smb: \&#62; exit</PRE
+></P
+><P
+>The 'code 0' indicates that the job was removed. The comment
+by the smbclient is a bit misleading on this.
+You can observe the command output and then and look at the
+/tmp/tmp.print file to see what the results are. You can quickly
+find out if the problem is with your printing system. Often people
+have problems with their /etc/printcap file or permissions on
+various print queues.</P

+>You may need to set up some printcaps for your Samba system to use.
+It is strongly recommended that you use the facilities provided by
+the print spooler to set up queues and printcap information.</P
+><P
+>Samba requires either a printcap or program to deliver printcap
+information. This printcap information has the format:</P
+><P
+><PRE
+CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
+> name|alias1|alias2...:option=value:...</PRE
+></P
+><P
+>For almost all printing systems, the printer 'name' must be composed
+only of alphanumeric or underscore '_' characters. Some systems also
+allow hyphens ('-') as well. An alias is an alternative name for the
+printer, and an alias with a space in it is used as a 'comment'
+about the printer. The printcap format optionally uses a \ at the end of lines
+to extend the printcap to multiple lines.</P
+><P
+>Here are some examples of printcap files:</P
+><P
+><P
+></P
+><OL
+TYPE="1"
+><LI
+><P
+>pr just printer name</P

+>Job sent, no output</A
+></H1
+><P
+>This is the most frustrating part of printing. You may have sent the
+job, verified that the job was forwarded, set up a wrapper around
+the command to send the file, but there was no output from the printer.</P
+><P
+>First, check to make sure that the job REALLY is getting to the
+right print queue. If you are using a BSD or LPRng print spooler,
+you can temporarily stop the printing of jobs. Jobs can still be
+submitted, but they will not be printed. Use:</P
+><P
+><PRE

+> lpc -Pprinter stop</PRE
+></P
+><P
+>Now submit a print job and then use 'lpq -Pprinter' to see if the
+job is in the print queue. If it is not in the print queue then
+you will have to find out why it is not being accepted for printing.</P
+><P
+>Next, you may want to check to see what the format of the job really
+was. With the assistance of the system administrator you can view
+the submitted jobs files. You may be surprised to find that these
+are not in what you would expect to call a printable format.
+You can use the UNIX 'file' utitily to determine what the job
+format actually is:</P

+ ls # find job files
+ file dfA001myhost</PRE

+><P
+>Once you have the job printing, you can then start worrying about
+making it print nicely.</P
+><P
+>The most common problem is extra pages of output: banner pages
+OR blank pages at the end.</P
+><P
+>If you are getting banner pages, check and make sure that the
+printcap option or printer option is configured for no banners.
+If you have a printcap, this is the :sh (suppress header or banner
+page) option. You should have the following in your printer.</P
+><P
+><PRE

+> printer: ... :sh</PRE
+></P
+><P
+>If you have this option and are still getting banner pages, there
+is a strong chance that your printer is generating them for you
+automatically. You should make sure that banner printing is disabled
+for the printer. This usually requires using the printer setup software
+or procedures supplied by the printer manufacturer.</P
+><P
+>If you get an extra page of output, this could be due to problems
+with your job format, or if you are generating PostScript jobs,
+incorrect setting on your printer driver on the MicroSoft client.
+For example, under Win95 there is a option:</P
+><P
+><PRE
+CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
+> Printers|Printer Name|(Right Click)Properties|Postscript|Advanced|</PRE
+></P
+><P
+>that allows you to choose if a Ctrl-D is appended to all jobs.
+This is a very bad thing to do, as most spooling systems will
+automatically add a ^D to the end of the job if it is detected as
+PostScript. The multiple ^D may cause an additional page of output.</P

+>Raw PostScript printed</A
+></H1
+><P
+>This is a problem that is usually caused by either the print spooling
+system putting information at the start of the print job that makes
+the printer think the job is a text file, or your printer simply

+>If you get a "connection refused" response then the smbd server may
+not be running. If you installed it in inetd.conf then you probably edited
+that file incorrectly. If you installed it as a daemon then check that
+it is running, and check that the netbios-ssn port is in a LISTEN
+state using "netstat -a".</P
+><P
+>If you get a "session request failed" then the server refused the
+connection. If it says "Your server software is being unfriendly" then
+its probably because you have invalid command line parameters to smbd,
+or a similar fatal problem with the initial startup of smbd. Also
+check your config file (smb.conf) for syntax errors with "testparm"
+and that the various directories where samba keeps its log and lock
+files exist.</P
+><P
+>There are a number of reasons for which smbd may refuse or decline
+a session request. The most common of these involve one or more of

+></P
+><P
+>Do NOT use the "bind interfaces only" parameter where you may wish to
+use the samba password change facility, or where smbclient may need to
+access local service for name resolution or for local resource
+connections. (Note: the "bind interfaces only" parameter deficiency
+where it will not allow connections to the loopback address will be
+fixed soon).</P
+><P
+>Another common cause of these two errors is having something already running
+on port 139, such as Samba (ie: smbd is running from inetd already) or
+something like Digital's Pathworks. Check your inetd.conf file before trying
+to start smbd as a daemon, it can avoid a lot of frustration!</P
+><P
+>And yet another possible cause for failure of TEST 3 is when the subnet mask
+and / or broadcast address settings are incorrect. Please check that the

+correct and that Samba has correctly noted these in the log.nmb file.</P

+><P
+>Ok, so you want to print to a Samba server from your PC. The first
+thing you need to understand is that Samba does not actually do any
+printing itself, it just acts as a middleman between your PC client
+and your Unix printing subsystem. Samba receives the file from the PC
+then passes the file to a external "print command". What print command
+you use is up to you.</P
+><P
+>The whole things is controlled using options in smb.conf. The most
+relevant options (which you should look up in the smb.conf man page)
+are:</P

+>Samba should set reasonable defaults for these depending on your
+system type, but it isn't clairvoyant. It is not uncommon that you
+have to tweak these for local conditions. The commands should
+always have fully specified pathnames, as the smdb may not have
+the correct PATH values.</P
+><P
+>When you send a job to Samba to be printed, it will make a temporary
+copy of it in the directory specified in the [printers] section.
+and it should be periodically cleaned out. The lpr -r option
+requests that the temporary copy be removed after printing; If
+printing fails then you might find leftover files in this directory,
+and it should be periodically cleaned out. Samba used the lpq
+command to determine the "job number" assigned to your print job
+by the spooler.</P

+>The %&#62;letter&#60; are "macros" that get dynamically replaced with appropriate
+values when they are used. The %s gets replaced with the name of the spool
+file that Samba creates and the %p gets replaced with the name of the
+printer. The %j gets replaced with the "job number" which comes from

+That real authentication server can be another Samba server or can be a

+>9.2. More complete description of security levels</A
+></H1
+><P
+>A SMB server tells the client at startup what "security level" it is
+running. There are two options "share level" and "user level". Which
+of these two the client receives affects the way the client then tries
+to authenticate itself. It does not directly affect (to any great
+extent) the way the Samba server does security. I know this is
+strange, but it fits in with the client/server approach of SMB. In SMB
+everything is initiated and controlled by the client, and the server
+can only tell the client what is available and whether an action is
+allowed. </P
+><P
+>I'll describe user level security first, as its simpler. In user level
+security the client will send a "session setup" command directly after
+the protocol negotiation. This contains a username and password. The
+server can either accept or reject that username/password
+combination. Note that at this stage the server has no idea what
+share the client will eventually try to connect to, so it can't base
+the "accept/reject" on anything other than:</P
+><P
+></P
+><OL
+TYPE="1"
+><LI
+><P
+>the username/password</P
+></LI
+><LI
+><P
+>the machine that the client is coming from</P
+></LI
+></OL
+><P
+>If the server accepts the username/password then the client expects to
+be able to mount any share (using a "tree connection") without
+specifying a password. It expects that all access rights will be as
+the username/password specified in the "session setup". </P
+><P
+>It is also possible for a client to send multiple "session setup"
+requests. When the server responds it gives the client a "uid" to use
+as an authentication tag for that username/password. The client can
+maintain multiple authentication contexts in this way (WinDD is an
+example of an application that does this)</P
+><P
+>Ok, now for share level security. In share level security the client
+authenticates itself separately for each share. It will send a
+password along with each "tree connection" (share mount). It does not
+explicitly send a username with this operation. The client is
+expecting a password to be associated with each share, independent of
+the user. This means that samba has to work out what username the
+client probably wants to use. It is never explicitly sent the
+username. Some commercial SMB servers such as NT actually associate
+passwords directly with shares in share level security, but samba
+always uses the unix authentication scheme where it is a
+username/password that is authenticated, not a "share/password".</P
+><P
+>Many clients send a "session setup" even if the server is in share
+level security. They normally send a valid username but no
+password. Samba records this username in a list of "possible
+usernames". When the client then does a "tree connection" it also adds
+to this list the name of the share they try to connect to (useful for
+home directories) and any users listed in the "user =" smb.conf
+line. The password is then checked in turn against these "possible
+usernames". If a match is found then the client is authenticated as
+that user.</P
+><P
+>Finally "server level" security. In server level security the samba
+server reports to the client that it is in user level security. The
+client then does a "session setup" as described earlier. The samba
+server takes the username/password that the client sends and attempts
+to login to the "password server" by sending exactly the same
+username/password that it got from the client. If that server is in
+user level security and accepts the password then samba accepts the
+clients connection. This allows the samba server to use another SMB
+server as the "password server". </P
+><P
+>You should also note that at the very start of all this, where the
+server tells the client what security level it is in, it also tells
+the client if it supports encryption. If it does then it supplies the
+client with a random "cryptkey". The client will then send all
+passwords in encrypted form. You have to compile samba with encryption
+enabled to support this feature, and you have to maintain a separate
+smbpasswd file with SMB style encrypted passwords. It is
+cryptographically impossible to translate from unix style encryption
+to SMB style encryption, although there are some fairly simple management
+schemes by which the two could be kept in sync.</P

+><P
+>Integration of UNIX and Microsoft Windows NT through
+ a unified logon has been considered a "holy grail" in heterogeneous
+ computing environments for a long time. We present
+ <EM
+>winbind</EM
+>, a component of the Samba suite
+ of programs as a solution to the unified logon problem. Winbind
+ uses a UNIX implementation
+ of Microsoft RPC calls, Pluggable Authentication Modules, and the Name
+ Service Switch to allow Windows NT domain users to appear and operate
+ as UNIX users on a UNIX machine. This paper describes the winbind
+ system, explaining the functionality it provides, how it is configured,
+ and how it works internally.</P

+></H1
+><P
+>It is well known that UNIX and Microsoft Windows NT have
+ different models for representing user and group information and
+ use different technologies for implementing them. This fact has
+ made it difficult to integrate the two systems in a satisfactory
+ manner.</P
+><P
+>One common solution in use today has been to create
+ identically named user accounts on both the UNIX and Windows systems
+ and use the Samba suite of programs to provide file and print services
+ between the two. This solution is far from perfect however, as
+ adding and deleting users on both sets of machines becomes a chore
+ and two sets of passwords are required both of which
+ can lead to synchronization problems between the UNIX and Windows
+ systems and confusion for users.</P
+><P
+>We divide the unified logon problem for UNIX machines into
+ three smaller problems:</P
+><P
+></P
+><UL
+><LI
+><P
+>Obtaining Windows NT user and group information
+ </P
+></LI
+><LI
+><P
+>Authenticating Windows NT users
+ </P
+></LI
+><LI
+><P
+>Password changing for Windows NT users
+ </P
+></LI
+></UL
+><P
+>Ideally, a prospective solution to the unified logon problem
+ would satisfy all the above components without duplication of
+ information on the UNIX machines and without creating additional
+ tasks for the system administrator when maintaining users and
+ groups on either system. The winbind system provides a simple
+ and elegant solution to all three components of the unified logon
+ problem.</P

+>11.3. What Winbind Provides</A
+></H1
+><P
+>Winbind unifies UNIX and Windows NT account management by
+ allowing a UNIX box to become a full member of a NT domain. Once
+ this is done the UNIX box will see NT users and groups as if
+ they were native UNIX users and groups, allowing the NT domain
+ to be used in much the same manner that NIS+ is used within
+ UNIX-only environments.</P
+><P
+>The end result is that whenever any
+ program on the UNIX machine asks the operating system to lookup
+ a user or group name, the query will be resolved by asking the
+ NT domain controller for the specified domain to do the lookup.
+ Because Winbind hooks into the operating system at a low level
+ (via the NSS name resolution modules in the C library) this
+ redirection to the NT domain controller is completely
+ transparent.</P
+><P
+>Users on the UNIX machine can then use NT user and group
+ names as they would use "native" UNIX names. They can chown files
+ so that they are owned by NT domain users or even login to the
+ UNIX machine and run a UNIX X-Window session as a domain user.</P
+><P
+>The only obvious indication that Winbind is being used is
+ that user and group names take the form DOMAIN\user and
+ DOMAIN\group. This is necessary as it allows Winbind to determine
+ that redirection to a domain controller is wanted for a particular
+ lookup and which trusted domain is being referenced.</P
+><P
+>Additionally, Winbind provides an authentication service
+ that hooks into the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) system
+ to provide authentication via a NT domain to any PAM enabled
+ applications. This capability solves the problem of synchronizing
+ passwords between systems since all passwords are stored in a single
+ location (on the domain controller).</P

+CLASS="SECT2"
+><A
+NAME="AEN1412"
+>11.3.1. Target Uses</A
+></H2
+><P
+>Winbind is targeted at organizations that have an
+ existing NT based domain infrastructure into which they wish
+ to put UNIX workstations or servers. Winbind will allow these
+ organizations to deploy UNIX workstations without having to
+ maintain a separate account infrastructure. This greatly
+ simplifies the administrative overhead of deploying UNIX
+ workstations into a NT based organization.</P
+><P
+>Another interesting way in which we expect Winbind to
+ be used is as a central part of UNIX based appliances. Appliances
+ that provide file and print services to Microsoft based networks
+ will be able to use Winbind to provide seamless integration of
+ the appliance into the domain.</P

+>11.4. How Winbind Works</A
+></H1
+><P
+>The winbind system is designed around a client/server
+ architecture. A long running <B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>winbindd</B
+> daemon
+ listens on a UNIX domain socket waiting for requests
+ to arrive. These requests are generated by the NSS and PAM
+ clients and processed sequentially.</P
+><P
+>The technologies used to implement winbind are described
+ in detail below.</P
+><DIV

+><HR><H2
+CLASS="SECT2"
+><A
+NAME="AEN1421"
+>11.4.1. Microsoft Remote Procedure Calls</A
+></H2
+><P
+>Over the last two years, efforts have been underway
+ by various Samba Team members to decode various aspects of
+ the Microsoft Remote Procedure Call (MSRPC) system. This
+ system is used for most network related operations between
+ Windows NT machines including remote management, user authentication
+ and print spooling. Although initially this work was done
+ to aid the implementation of Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
+ functionality in Samba, it has also yielded a body of code which
+ can be used for other purposes.</P
+><P
+>Winbind uses various MSRPC calls to enumerate domain users
+ and groups and to obtain detailed information about individual
+ users or groups. Other MSRPC calls can be used to authenticate
+ NT domain users and to change user passwords. By directly querying
+ a Windows PDC for user and group information, winbind maps the
+ NT account information onto UNIX user and group names.</P
+></DIV
+><DIV
+CLASS="SECT2"
+><HR><H2
+CLASS="SECT2"
+><A
+NAME="AEN1425"
+>11.4.2. Name Service Switch</A
+></H2
+><P
+>The Name Service Switch, or NSS, is a feature that is
+ present in many UNIX operating systems. It allows system
+ information such as hostnames, mail aliases and user information
+ to be resolved from different sources. For example, a standalone
+ UNIX workstation may resolve system information from a series of
+ flat files stored on the local filesystem. A networked workstation
+ may first attempt to resolve system information from local files,
+ and then consult a NIS database for user information or a DNS server
+ for hostname information.</P
+><P
+>The NSS application programming interface allows winbind
+ to present itself as a source of system information when
+ resolving UNIX usernames and groups. Winbind uses this interface,
+ and information obtained from a Windows NT server using MSRPC
+ calls to provide a new source of account enumeration. Using standard
+ UNIX library calls, one can enumerate the users and groups on
+ a UNIX machine running winbind and see all users and groups in
+ a NT domain plus any trusted domain as though they were local
+ users and groups.</P
+><P
+>The primary control file for NSS is
+ <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>/etc/nsswitch.conf</TT
+>.
+ When a UNIX application makes a request to do a lookup
+ the C library looks in <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>/etc/nsswitch.conf</TT
+>
+ for a line which matches the service type being requested, for
+ example the "passwd" service type is used when user or group names
+ are looked up. This config line species which implementations
+ of that service should be tried and in what order. If the passwd
+ config line is:</P
+><P
+><B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>passwd: files example</B
+></P
+><P
+>then the C library will first load a module called
+ <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>/lib/libnss_files.so</TT
+> followed by
+ the module <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>/lib/libnss_example.so</TT
+>. The
+ C library will dynamically load each of these modules in turn
+ and call resolver functions within the modules to try to resolve
+ the request. Once the request is resolved the C library returns the
+ result to the application.</P
+><P
+>This NSS interface provides a very easy way for Winbind
+ to hook into the operating system. All that needs to be done
+ is to put <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>libnss_winbind.so</TT
+> in <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>/lib/</TT
+>
+ then add "winbind" into <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>/etc/nsswitch.conf</TT
+> at
+ the appropriate place. The C library will then call Winbind to
+ resolve user and group names.</P

+><HR><H2
+CLASS="SECT2"
+><A
+NAME="AEN1441"
+>11.4.3. Pluggable Authentication Modules</A
+></H2
+><P
+>Pluggable Authentication Modules, also known as PAM,
+ is a system for abstracting authentication and authorization
+ technologies. With a PAM module it is possible to specify different
+ authentication methods for different system applications without
+ having to recompile these applications. PAM is also useful
+ for implementing a particular policy for authorization. For example,
+ a system administrator may only allow console logins from users
+ stored in the local password file but only allow users resolved from
+ a NIS database to log in over the network.</P
+><P
+>Winbind uses the authentication management and password
+ management PAM interface to integrate Windows NT users into a
+ UNIX system. This allows Windows NT users to log in to a UNIX
+ machine and be authenticated against a suitable Primary Domain
+ Controller. These users can also change their passwords and have
+ this change take effect directly on the Primary Domain Controller.
+ </P
+><P
+>PAM is configured by providing control files in the directory
+ <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>/etc/pam.d/</TT
+> for each of the services that
+ require authentication. When an authentication request is made
+ by an application the PAM code in the C library looks up this
+ control file to determine what modules to load to do the
+ authentication check and in what order. This interface makes adding
+ a new authentication service for Winbind very easy, all that needs
+ to be done is that the <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>pam_winbind.so</TT
+> module
+ is copied to <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>/lib/security/</TT
+> and the PAM
+ control files for relevant services are updated to allow
+ authentication via winbind. See the PAM documentation
+ for more details.</P

+>11.4.4. User and Group ID Allocation</A
+></H2
+><P
+>When a user or group is created under Windows NT
+ is it allocated a numerical relative identifier (RID). This is
+ slightly different to UNIX which has a range of numbers that are
+ used to identify users, and the same range in which to identify
+ groups. It is winbind's job to convert RIDs to UNIX id numbers and
+ vice versa. When winbind is configured it is given part of the UNIX
+ user id space and a part of the UNIX group id space in which to
+ store Windows NT users and groups. If a Windows NT user is
+ resolved for the first time, it is allocated the next UNIX id from
+ the range. The same process applies for Windows NT groups. Over
+ time, winbind will have mapped all Windows NT users and groups
+ to UNIX user ids and group ids.</P
+><P
+>The results of this mapping are stored persistently in
+ an ID mapping database held in a tdb database). This ensures that
+ RIDs are mapped to UNIX IDs in a consistent way.</P

+></H2
+><P
+>An active system can generate a lot of user and group
+ name lookups. To reduce the network cost of these lookups winbind
+ uses a caching scheme based on the SAM sequence number supplied
+ by NT domain controllers. User or group information returned
+ by a PDC is cached by winbind along with a sequence number also
+ returned by the PDC. This sequence number is incremented by
+ Windows NT whenever any user or group information is modified. If
+ a cached entry has expired, the sequence number is requested from
+ the PDC and compared against the sequence number of the cached entry.
+ If the sequence numbers do not match, then the cached information
+ is discarded and up to date information is requested directly
+ from the PDC.</P

+>SMB networking provides a mechanism by which clients can access a list

+contains machines that are ready to offer file and/or print services
+to other machines within the network. Thus it does not include
+machines which aren't currently able to do server tasks. The browse
+list is heavily used by all SMB clients. Configuration of SMB
+browsing has been problematic for some Samba users, hence this

->Ideally, a prospective solution to the unified logon problem
- would satisfy all the above components without duplication of

- tasks for the system administrator when maintaining users and
- groups on either system. The winbind system provides a simple
- and elegant solution to all three components of the unified logon

+NAME="AEN2574"
+>15.2. Browsing support in samba</A
></H1
><P
->Winbind unifies UNIX and Windows NT account management by
- allowing a UNIX box to become a full member of a NT domain. Once
- this is done the UNIX box will see NT users and groups as if
- they were native UNIX users and groups, allowing the NT domain
- to be used in much the same manner that NIS+ is used within
- UNIX-only environments.</P
+>Samba now fully supports browsing. The browsing is supported by nmbd
+and is also controlled by options in the smb.conf file (see smb.conf(5)).</P
><P
->The end result is that whenever any
- program on the UNIX machine asks the operating system to lookup
- a user or group name, the query will be resolved by asking the
- NT domain controller for the specified domain to do the lookup.
- Because Winbind hooks into the operating system at a low level
- (via the NSS name resolution modules in the C library) this
- redirection to the NT domain controller is completely
- transparent.</P
+>Samba can act as a local browse master for a workgroup and the ability
+for samba to support domain logons and scripts is now available. See
+DOMAIN.txt for more information on domain logons.</P
><P
->Users on the UNIX machine can then use NT user and group
- names as they would use "native" UNIX names. They can chown files
- so that they are owned by NT domain users or even login to the
- UNIX machine and run a UNIX X-Window session as a domain user.</P
+>Samba can also act as a domain master browser for a workgroup. This
+means that it will collate lists from local browse masters into a
+wide area network server list. In order for browse clients to
+resolve the names they may find in this list, it is recommended that
+both samba and your clients use a WINS server.</P
><P
->The only obvious indication that Winbind is being used is
- that user and group names take the form DOMAIN\user and
- DOMAIN\group. This is necessary as it allows Winbind to determine
- that redirection to a domain controller is wanted for a particular
- lookup and which trusted domain is being referenced.</P
+>Note that you should NOT set Samba to be the domain master for a
+workgroup that has the same name as an NT Domain: on each wide area
+network, you must only ever have one domain master browser per workgroup,
+regardless of whether it is NT, Samba or any other type of domain master
+that is providing this service.</P
><P
->Additionally, Winbind provides an authentication service
- that hooks into the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) system
- to provide authentication via a NT domain to any PAM enabled
- applications. This capability solves the problem of synchronizing
- passwords between systems since all passwords are stored in a single
- location (on the domain controller).</P

+>[Note that nmbd can be configured as a WINS server, but it is not
+necessary to specifically use samba as your WINS server. NTAS can
+be configured as your WINS server. In a mixed NT server and
+samba environment on a Wide Area Network, it is recommended that
+you use the NT server's WINS server capabilities. In a samba-only
+environment, it is recommended that you use one and only one nmbd
+as your WINS server].</P
><P
->Winbind is targeted at organizations that have an
- existing NT based domain infrastructure into which they wish
- to put UNIX workstations or servers. Winbind will allow these
- organizations to deploy UNIX workstations without having to
- maintain a separate account infrastructure. This greatly
- simplifies the administrative overhead of deploying UNIX
- workstations into a NT based organization.</P
+>To get browsing to work you need to run nmbd as usual, but will need
+to use the "workgroup" option in smb.conf to control what workgroup
+Samba becomes a part of.</P
><P
->Another interesting way in which we expect Winbind to
- be used is as a central part of UNIX based appliances. Appliances
- that provide file and print services to Microsoft based networks
- will be able to use Winbind to provide seamless integration of
- the appliance into the domain.</P
-></DIV
+>Samba also has a useful option for a Samba server to offer itself for
+browsing on another subnet. It is recommended that this option is only

- information such as hostnames, mail aliases and user information
- to be resolved from different sources. For example, a standalone
- UNIX workstation may resolve system information from a series of
- flat files stored on the local filesystem. A networked workstation
- may first attempt to resolve system information from local files,
- and then consult a NIS database for user information or a DNS server
- for hostname information.</P
-><P
->The NSS application programming interface allows winbind
- to present itself as a source of system information when
- resolving UNIX usernames and groups. Winbind uses this interface,
- and information obtained from a Windows NT server using MSRPC
- calls to provide a new source of account enumeration. Using standard
- UNIX library calls, one can enumerate the users and groups on
- a UNIX machine running winbind and see all users and groups in
- a NT domain plus any trusted domain as though they were local

->The primary control file for NSS is

- When a UNIX application makes a request to do a lookup

-><P
->Pluggable Authentication Modules, also known as PAM,
- is a system for abstracting authentication and authorization
- technologies. With a PAM module it is possible to specify different
- authentication methods for different system applications without
- having to recompile these applications. PAM is also useful
- for implementing a particular policy for authorization. For example,
- a system administrator may only allow console logins from users
- stored in the local password file but only allow users resolved from
- a NIS database to log in over the network.</P
-><P
->Winbind uses the authentication management and password
- management PAM interface to integrate Windows NT users into a
- UNIX system. This allows Windows NT users to log in to a UNIX
- machine and be authenticated against a suitable Primary Domain
- Controller. These users can also change their passwords and have
- this change take effect directly on the Primary Domain Controller.
- </P
+>If something doesn't work then hopefully the log.nmb file will help
+you track down the problem. Try a debug level of 2 or 3 for finding
+problems. Also note that the current browse list usually gets stored
+in text form in a file called browse.dat.</P
><P
->PAM is configured by providing control files in the directory
- <TT
-CLASS="FILENAME"
->/etc/pam.d/</TT
-> for each of the services that
- require authentication. When an authentication request is made
- by an application the PAM code in the C library looks up this
- control file to determine what modules to load to do the
- authentication check and in what order. This interface makes adding
- a new authentication service for Winbind very easy, all that needs
- to be done is that the <TT
-CLASS="FILENAME"
->pam_winbind.so</TT
-> module
- is copied to <TT
-CLASS="FILENAME"
->/lib/security/</TT
-> and the PAM
- control files for relevant services are updated to allow
- authentication via winbind. See the PAM documentation
- for more details.</P

+type the server name as \\SERVER in filemanager then hit enter and
+filemanager should display the list of available shares.</P
><P
->When a user or group is created under Windows NT
- is it allocated a numerical relative identifier (RID). This is
- slightly different to UNIX which has a range of numbers that are
- used to identify users, and the same range in which to identify
- groups. It is winbind's job to convert RIDs to UNIX id numbers and
- vice versa. When winbind is configured it is given part of the UNIX
- user id space and a part of the UNIX group id space in which to
- store Windows NT users and groups. If a Windows NT user is
- resolved for the first time, it is allocated the next UNIX id from
- the range. The same process applies for Windows NT groups. Over
- time, winbind will have mapped all Windows NT users and groups
- to UNIX user ids and group ids.</P
+>Some people find browsing fails because they don't have the global
+"guest account" set to a valid account. Remember that the IPC$
+connection that lists the shares is done as guest, and thus you must
+have a valid guest account.</P

><P
->An active system can generate a lot of user and group
- name lookups. To reduce the network cost of these lookups winbind
- uses a caching scheme based on the SAM sequence number supplied
- by NT domain controllers. User or group information returned
- by a PDC is cached by winbind along with a sequence number also
- returned by the PDC. This sequence number is incremented by
- Windows NT whenever any user or group information is modified. If
- a cached entry has expired, the sequence number is requested from
- the PDC and compared against the sequence number of the cached entry.
- If the sequence numbers do not match, then the cached information
- is discarded and up to date information is requested directly
- from the PDC.</P

+>With the release of Samba 1.9.17(alpha1 and above) Samba has been
+updated to enable it to support the replication of browse lists
+across subnet boundaries. New code and options have been added to
+achieve this. This section describes how to set this feature up
+in different settings.</P
+><P
+>To see browse lists that span TCP/IP subnets (ie. networks separated
+by routers that don't pass broadcast traffic) you must set up at least
+one WINS server. The WINS server acts as a DNS for NetBIOS names, allowing
+NetBIOS name to IP address translation to be done by doing a direct
+query of the WINS server. This is done via a directed UDP packet on
+port 137 to the WINS server machine. The reason for a WINS server is
+that by default, all NetBIOS name to IP address translation is done
+by broadcasts from the querying machine. This means that machines
+on one subnet will not be able to resolve the names of machines on
+another subnet without using a WINS server.</P
+><P
+>Remember, for browsing across subnets to work correctly, all machines,
+be they Windows 95, Windows NT, or Samba servers must have the IP address
+of a WINS server given to them by a DHCP server, or by manual configuration
+(for Win95 and WinNT, this is in the TCP/IP Properties, under Network
+settings) for Samba this is in the smb.conf file.</P

+data. With some oplock types the client may even cache file open/close
+operations. This can give enormous performance benefits.</P
+><P

+locks. This is turned on by default, and can be turned off on a share-

+improvement seen can be orders of magnitude greater, depending on
+what the client redirector is doing.</P

+>If the bug has anything to do with Samba behaving incorrectly as a
+server (like refusing to open a file) then the log files will probably
+be very useful. Depending on the problem a log level of between 3 and
+10 showing the problem may be appropriate. A higher level givesmore
+detail, but may use too much disk space.</P
+><P
+>To set the debug level use <B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>log level =</B
+> in your
+<TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>smb.conf</TT
+>. You may also find it useful to set the log
+level higher for just one machine and keep separate logs for each machine.

+put any smb.conf commands you want, for example

+experiment with different security systems, protocol levels etc on just

+occurred. Include this in your mail.</P

+where the problem occurred (if its in a library routine then
+disassemble the routine that called it) and try to work out exactly

+>The Samba server uses TCP to talk to the client. Thus if you are
+trying to see if it performs well you should really compare it to
+programs that use the same protocol. The most readily available
+programs for file transfer that use TCP are ftp or another TCP based
+SMB server.</P
+><P
+>If you want to test against something like a NT or WfWg server then
+you will have to disable all but TCP on either the client or
+server. Otherwise you may well be using a totally different protocol
+(such as Netbeui) and comparisons may not be valid.</P
+><P
+>Generally you should find that Samba performs similarly to ftp at raw
+transfer speed. It should perform quite a bit faster than NFS,
+although this very much depends on your system.</P
+><P
+>Several people have done comparisons between Samba and Novell, NFS or
+WinNT. In some cases Samba performed the best, in others the worst. I
+suspect the biggest factor is not Samba vs some other system but the
+hardware and drivers used on the various systems. Given similar

+>Overview</A
+></H2
+><P
+>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 agressively cache file
+data. With some oplock types the client may even cache file open/close
+operations. This can give enormous performance benefits.</P
+><P
+>With the release of Samba 1.9.18 we now correctly support opportunistic
+locks. This is turned on by default, and can be turned off on a share-
+by-share basis by setting the parameter :</P
+><P
+><B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>oplocks = False</B
+></P
+><P
+>We recommend that you leave oplocks on however, as current benchmark
+tests with NetBench seem to give approximately a 30% improvement in
+speed with them on. This is on average however, and the actual
+improvement seen can be orders of magnitude greater, depending on
+what the client redirector is doing.</P
+><P
+>Previous to Samba 1.9.18 there was a 'fake oplocks' option. This
+option has been left in the code for backwards compatibility reasons
+but it's use is now deprecated. A short summary of what the old
+code did follows.</P

+>With Samba 2.0.5 a new capability - level2 (read only) oplocks is

+man page for details). Turning on level2 oplocks (on a share-by-share basis)

+CLASS="SECT2"

+NAME="AEN25"
+>Old 'fake oplocks' option - deprecated</A
+></H2
+><P
+>Samba can also fake oplocks, by granting a oplock whenever a client
+asks for one. This is controlled using the smb.conf option "fake
+oplocks". If you set "fake oplocks = yes" then you are telling the
+client that it may agressively cache the file data for all opens.</P
+><P
+>Enabling 'fake oplocks' 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

+><P
+>There are a number of socket options that can greatly affect the
+performance of a TCP based server like Samba.</P
+><P
+>The socket options that Samba uses are settable both on the command
+line with the -O option, or in the smb.conf file.</P
+><P
+>The "socket options" section of the smb.conf manual page describes how
+to set these and gives recommendations.</P
+><P
+>Getting the socket options right can make a big difference to your
+performance, but getting them wrong can degrade it by just as
+much. The correct settings are very dependent on your local network.</P
+><P
+>The socket option TCP_NODELAY is the one that seems to make the
+biggest single difference for most networks. Many people report that
+adding "socket options = TCP_NODELAY" doubles the read performance of
+a Samba drive. The best explanation I have seen for this is that the
+Microsoft TCP/IP stack is slow in sending tcp ACKs.</P

+><A
+NAME="AEN36"
+>Read size</A
+></H1
+><P
+>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
+><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
+><P
+>The default value is 16384, 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

+>Max xmit</A

+>At startup the client and server negotiate a "maximum transmit" size,
+which limits the size of nearly all SMB commands. You can set the
+maximum size that Samba will negotiate using the "max xmit = " option
+in smb.conf. Note that this is the maximum size of SMB request that
+Samba will accept, but not the maximum size that the *client* will accept.
+The client maximum receive size is sent to Samba by the client and Samba
+honours this limit.</P
+><P
+>It defaults to 65536 bytes (the maximum), but it is possible that some
+clients may perform better with a smaller transmit unit. Trying values
+of less than 2048 is likely to cause severe problems.</P

+locking (using "strict locking = yes") then you may find that you

+>Share modes</A
+></H1
+><P
+>Some people find that opening files is very slow. This is often
+because of the "share modes" code needed to fully implement the dos
+share modes stuff. You can disable this code using "share modes =
+no". This will gain you a lot in opening and closing files but will
+mean that (in some cases) the system won't force a second user of a
+file to open the file read-only if the first has it open
+read-write. For many applications that do their own locking this
+doesn't matter, but for some it may. Most Windows applications
+depend heavily on "share modes" working correctly and it is
+recommended that the Samba share mode support be left at the
+default of "on".</P
+><P
+>The share mode code in Samba has been re-written in the 1.9.17
+release following tests with the Ziff-Davis NetBench PC Benchmarking
+tool. It is now believed that Samba 1.9.17 implements share modes
+similarly to Windows NT.</P
+><P

+><P
+>Of the above, "security = server" means that Samba reports to clients that
+it is running in "user mode" but actually passes off all authentication
+requests to another "user mode" server. This requires an additional
+parameter "password server =" that points to the real authentication server.
+That real authentication server can be another Samba server or can be a
+Windows NT server, the later natively capable of encrypted password support.</P

+><A
+NAME="AEN14"
+>More complete description of security levels</A
+></H1
+><P
+>A SMB server tells the client at startup what "security level" it is
+running. There are two options "share level" and "user level". Which
+of these two the client receives affects the way the client then tries
+to authenticate itself. It does not directly affect (to any great
+extent) the way the Samba server does security. I know this is
+strange, but it fits in with the client/server approach of SMB. In SMB
+everything is initiated and controlled by the client, and the server
+can only tell the client what is available and whether an action is
+allowed. </P
+><P
+>I'll describe user level security first, as its simpler. In user level
+security the client will send a "session setup" command directly after
+the protocol negotiation. This contains a username and password. The
+server can either accept or reject that username/password
+combination. Note that at this stage the server has no idea what
+share the client will eventually try to connect to, so it can't base
+the "accept/reject" on anything other than:</P
+><P
+></P
+><OL
+TYPE="1"
+><LI
+><P
+>the username/password</P
+></LI
+><LI
+><P
+>the machine that the client is coming from</P
+></LI
+></OL
+><P
+>If the server accepts the username/password then the client expects to
+be able to mount any share (using a "tree connection") without
+specifying a password. It expects that all access rights will be as
+the username/password specified in the "session setup". </P
+><P
+>It is also possible for a client to send multiple "session setup"
+requests. When the server responds it gives the client a "uid" to use
+as an authentication tag for that username/password. The client can
+maintain multiple authentication contexts in this way (WinDD is an
+example of an application that does this)</P
+><P
+>Ok, now for share level security. In share level security the client
+authenticates itself separately for each share. It will send a
+password along with each "tree connection" (share mount). It does not
+explicitly send a username with this operation. The client is
+expecting a password to be associated with each share, independent of
+the user. This means that samba has to work out what username the
+client probably wants to use. It is never explicitly sent the
+username. Some commercial SMB servers such as NT actually associate
+passwords directly with shares in share level security, but samba
+always uses the unix authentication scheme where it is a
+username/password that is authenticated, not a "share/password".</P
+><P
+>Many clients send a "session setup" even if the server is in share
+level security. They normally send a valid username but no
+password. Samba records this username in a list of "possible
+usernames". When the client then does a "tree connection" it also adds
+to this list the name of the share they try to connect to (useful for
+home directories) and any users listed in the "user =" smb.conf
+line. The password is then checked in turn against these "possible
+usernames". If a match is found then the client is authenticated as
+that user.</P
+><P
+>Finally "server level" security. In server level security the samba
+server reports to the client that it is in user level security. The
+client then does a "session setup" as described earlier. The samba
+server takes the username/password that the client sends and attempts
+to login to the "password server" by sending exactly the same
+username/password that it got from the client. If that server is in
+user level security and accepts the password then samba accepts the
+clients connection. This allows the samba server to use another SMB
+server as the "password server". </P
+><P
+>You should also note that at the very start of all this, where the
+server tells the client what security level it is in, it also tells
+the client if it supports encryption. If it does then it supplies the
+client with a random "cryptkey". The client will then send all
+passwords in encrypted form. You have to compile samba with encryption
+enabled to support this feature, and you have to maintain a separate
+smbpasswd file with SMB style encrypted passwords. It is
+cryptographically impossible to translate from unix style encryption
+to SMB style encryption, although there are some fairly simple management
+schemes by which the two could be kept in sync.</P
