+.SH "SECTION DESCRIPTIONS"
+.PP
Each section in the configuration file (except for the
-\fB[global]\fP section) describes a shared resource (known
-as a \fI"share"\fP)\&. The section name is the name of the shared resource
-and the parameters within the section define the shares attributes\&.
-.PP
-There are three special sections, \fB[global]\fP,
-\fB[homes]\fP and \fB[printers]\fP, which are
-described under \fB\'special sections\'\fP\&. The
-following notes apply to ordinary section descriptions\&.
-.PP
-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\&.
-.PP
-Sections are either filespace 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)\&.
-.PP
-Sections may be designated \fBguest\fP services, in which
-case no password is required to access them\&. A specified UNIX
-\fBguest account\fP is used to define access
-privileges in this case\&.
-.PP
-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 \fB"user="\fP option in
-the share definition\&. For modern clients such as Windows 95/98 and
-Windows NT, this should not be necessary\&.
-.PP
-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\&.
-.PP
-The following sample section defines a file space share\&. The user has
-write access to the path \f(CW/home/bar\fP\&. The share is accessed via
-the share name "foo":

- [foo]
+[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.
+.PP
+There are three special sections, [global],
+[homes] and [printers], which are
+described under \fBspecial sections\fR. The
+following notes apply to ordinary section descriptions.
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+Sections are either filespace 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).
+.PP
+Sections may be designated \fBguest\fR services,
+in which case no password is required to access them. A specified
+UNIX \fBguest account\fR is used to define access
+privileges in this case.
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+The following sample section defines a file space share.
+The user has write access to the path \fI/home/bar\fR.
+The share is accessed via the share name "foo":
+.sp
+.nf
+ [foo]
path = /home/bar
writeable = true
+
+
+.sp
+.fi
+.PP
+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 \fBguest ok\fR parameter means
+access will be permitted as the default guest user (specified
+elsewhere):
+.sp
+.nf
+ [aprinter]
+ path = /usr/spool/public
+ writeable = false
+ printable = true
+ guest ok = true
+
+
+.sp
+.fi
+.SH "SPECIAL SECTIONS"
+.SS "THE GLOBAL SECTION"
+.PP
+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.
+.SS "THE HOMES SECTION"
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+Some modifications are then made to the newly
+created share:
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+The share name is changed from homes to
+the located username.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+If no path was given, the path is set to
+the user's home directory.
+.PP
+If you decide to use a \fBpath=\fR line
+in your [homes] section then you may find it useful
+to use the %S macro. For example :
+.PP
+.PP
+\fBpath=/data/pchome/%S\fR
+.PP
+.PP
+would be useful if you have different home directories
+for your PCs than for UNIX access.
+.PP
+.PP
+This is a fast and simple way to give a large number
+of clients access to their home directories with a minimum
+of fuss.
+.PP
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+.PP
+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:
+.PP
+.sp
+.nf
+ [homes]
+ writeable = yes
+
+
+.sp
+.fi
+.PP
+An important point is that if guest access is specified
+in the [homes] section, all home directories will be
+visible to all clients \fBwithout a password\fR.
+In the very unlikely event that this is actually desirable, it
+would be wise to also specify \fBread only
+access\fR.
+.PP
+.PP
+Note that the \fBbrowseable\fR 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 browseable=no in the [homes] section
+will hide the [homes] share but make any auto home
+directories visible.
+.PP
+.SS "THE PRINTERS SECTION"
+.PP
+This section works like [homes],
+but for printers.
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+A few modifications are then made to the newly created
+share:
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+The share name is set to the located printer
+name
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+If no printer name was given, the printer name
+is set to the located printer name
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+If the share does not permit guest access and
+no username was given, the username is set to the located
+printer name.
+.PP
+Note that the [printers] service MUST be
+printable - if you specify otherwise, the server will refuse
+to load the configuration file.
+.PP
+.PP
+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:
+.PP
+.sp
+.nf
+ [printers]
+ path = /usr/spool/public
+ guest ok = yes
+ printable = yes
+
+.sp
+.fi
+.PP
+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:
+.PP
+.sp
+.nf
+ alias|alias|alias|alias...
+
+
+.sp
+.fi
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+.PP
+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 ('|').
+.PP
+.PP
+NOTE: On SYSV systems which use lpstat to determine what
+printers are defined on the system you may be able to use
+"printcap name = lpstat" to automatically obtain a list
+of printers. See the "printcap name" option
+for more details.
+.PP
+.SH "PARAMETRS"
+.PP
+parameters define the specific attributes of sections.
+.PP
+Some parameters are specific to the [global] section
+(e.g., \fBsecurity\fR). Some parameters are usable
+in all sections (e.g., \fBcreate mode\fR). 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 \fBG\fR
+in parentheses indicates that a parameter is specific to the
+[global] section. The letter \fBS\fR
+indicates that a parameter can be specified in a service specific
+section. Note that all \fBS\fR parameters can also be specified in
+the [global] section - in which case they will define
+the default behavior for all services.
+.PP
+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.
+.SH "VARIABLE SUBSTITUTIONS"
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+These substitutions are mostly noted in the descriptions below,
+but there are some general substitutions which apply whenever they
+might be relevant. These are:
+.TP
+\fB%S\fR
+the name of the current service, if any.
+.TP
+\fB%P\fR
+the root directory of the current service,
+if any.
+.TP
+\fB%u\fR
+user name of the current service, if any.
+.TP
+\fB%g\fR
+primary group name of %u.
+.TP
+\fB%U\fR
+session user name (the user name that the client
+wanted, not necessarily the same as the one they got).
+.TP
+\fB%G\fR
+primary group name of %U.
+.TP
+\fB%H\fR
+the home directory of the user given
+by %u.
+.TP
+\fB%v\fR
+the Samba version.
+.TP
+\fB%h\fR
+the internet hostname that Samba is running
+on.
+.TP
+\fB%m\fR
+the NetBIOS name of the client machine
+(very useful).
+.TP
+\fB%L\fR
+the NetBIOS name of the server. This allows you
+to change your config based on what the client calls you. Your
+server can have a "dual personality".
+.TP
+\fB%M\fR
+the internet name of the client machine.
+.TP
+\fB%N\fR
+the name of your NIS home directory server.
+This is obtained from your NIS auto.map entry. If you have
+not compiled Samba with the \fB--with-automount\fR
+option then this value will be the same as %.
+.TP
+\fB%p\fR
+the path of the service's home directory,
+obtained from your NIS auto.map entry. The NIS auto.map entry
+is split up as "%N:%p".
+.TP
+\fB%R\fR
+the selected protocol level after
+protocol negotiation. It can be one of CORE, COREPLUS,
+LANMAN1, LANMAN2 or NT1.
+.TP
+\fB%d\fR
+The process id of the current server
+process.
+.TP
+\fB%a\fR
+the architecture of the remote
+machine. Only some are recognized, and those may not be
+100% reliable. It currently recognizes Samba, WfWg,
+WinNT and Win95. Anything else will be known as
+"UNKNOWN". If it gets it wrong then sending a level
+3 log to samba@samba.org
+ <URL:mailto:samba@samba.org> should allow it to be fixed.
+.TP
+\fB%I\fR
+The IP address of the client machine.
+.TP
+\fB%T\fR
+the current date and time.
+.TP
+\fB%$(\fIenvvar\fB)\fR
+The value of the environment variable
+\fIenvar\fR.
+.PP
+There are some quite creative things that can be done
+with these substitutions and other smb.conf options.
+.PP
+.SH "NAME MANGLING"
+.PP
+Samba supports "name mangling" so that DOS and
+Windows clients can use files that don't conform to the 8.3 format.
+It can also be set to adjust the case of 8.3 format filenames.
+.PP
+There are several options that control the way mangling is
+performed, and they are grouped here rather than listed separately.
+For the defaults look at the output of the testparm program.
+.PP
+All of these options can be set separately for each service
+(or globally, of course).
+.PP
+The options are:
+.TP
+\fBmangle case= yes/no\fR
+controls if names that have characters that
+aren't of the "default" case are mangled. For example,
+if this is yes then a name like "Mail" would be mangled.
+Default \fBno\fR.
+.TP
+\fBcase sensitive = yes/no\fR
+controls whether filenames are case sensitive. If
+they aren't then Samba must do a filename search and match on passed
+names. Default \fBno\fR.
+.TP
+\fBdefault case = upper/lower\fR
+controls what the default case is for new
+filenames. Default \fBlower\fR.
+.TP
+\fBpreserve case = yes/no\fR
+controls if new files are created with the
+case that the client passes, or if they are forced to be the
+"default" case. Default \fByes\fR.
+.TP
+\fBshort preserve case = yes/no\fR
+controls if new files which conform to 8.3 syntax,
+that is all in upper case and of suitable length, are created
+upper case, or if they are forced to be the "default"
+case. This option can be use with "preserve case = yes"
+to permit long filenames to retain their case, while short names
+are lowered. Default \fByes\fR.
+.PP
+By default, Samba 2.2 has the same semantics as a Windows
+NT server, in that it is case insensitive but case preserving.
+.PP
+.SH "NOTE ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION"
+.PP
+There are a number of ways in which a user can connect
+to a service. The server follows the following steps in determining
+if it will allow a connection to a specified service. If all the
+steps fail then the connection request is rejected. If one of the
+steps pass then the following steps are not checked.
+.PP
+If the service is marked "guest only = yes" then
+steps 1 to 5 are skipped.
+.IP 1.
+If the client has passed a username/password
+pair and that username/password pair is validated by the UNIX
+system's password programs then the connection is made as that
+username. Note that this includes the
+\\\\server\\service%\fIusername\fR method of passing
+a username.
+.IP 2.
+If the client has previously registered a username
+with the system and now supplies a correct password for that
+username then the connection is allowed.
+.IP 3.
+The client's netbios name and any previously
+used user names are checked against the supplied password, if
+they match then the connection is allowed as the corresponding
+user.
+.IP 4.
+If the client has previously validated a
+username/password pair with the server and the client has passed
+the validation token then that username is used.
+.IP 5.
+If a "user = " field is given in the
+\fIsmb.conf\fR file for the service and the client
+has supplied a password, and that password matches (according to
+the UNIX system's password checking) with one of the usernames
+from the "user=" field then the connection is made as
+the username in the "user=" line. If one
+of the username in the "user=" list begins with a
+\&'@' then that name expands to a list of names in
+the group of the same name.
+.IP 6.
+If the service is a guest service then a
+connection is made as the username given in the "guest
+account =" for the service, irrespective of the
+supplied password.
+.SH "COMPLETE LIST OF GLOBAL PARAMETERS"

+.TP
+\fBadd user script (G)\fR
+This is the full pathname to a script that will
+be run \fBAS ROOT\fR by smbd(8)
+ <URL:smbd.8.html> under special circumstances decribed below.
+Normally, a Samba server requires that UNIX users are
+created for all users accessing files on this server. For sites
+that use Windows NT account databases as their primary user database
+creating these users and keeping the user list in sync with the
+Windows NT PDC is an onerous task. This option allows smbd <URL:smbd.8.html> to create the required UNIX users
+\fBON DEMAND\fR when a user accesses the Samba server.
-.fi
-
+In order to use this option, smbd <URL:smbd.8.html>
+must be set to \fIsecurity=server\fR or \fI security=domain\fR and \fIadd user script\fR
+must be set to a full pathname for a script that will create a UNIX
+user given one argument of \fI%u\fR, which expands into
+the UNIX user name to create.
-.PP
-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
-\fB\'guest ok\'\fP parameter means access will be permitted
-as the default guest user (specified elsewhere):
-.PP
+When the Windows user attempts to access the Samba server,
+at login (session setup in the SMB protocol) time, smbd <URL:smbd.8.html> contacts the \fIpassword server\fR and
+attempts to authenticate the given user with the given password. If the
+authentication succeeds then smbd <URL:smbd.8.html>
+attempts to find a UNIX user in the UNIX password database to map the
+Windows user into. If this lookup fails, and \fIadd user script
+\fRis set then smbd <URL:smbd.8.html> will
+call the specified script \fBAS ROOT\fR, expanding
+any \fI%u\fR argument to be the user name to create.
-.nf
-
+If this script successfully creates the user then smbd <URL:smbd.8.html> will continue on as though the UNIX user
+already existed. In this way, UNIX users are dynamically created to
+match existing Windows NT accounts.
- [aprinter]
- path = /usr/spool/public
- writeable = false
- printable = true

+\fBadmin users (S)\fR
+This is a list of users who will be granted

-.PP
-.SH "SPECIAL SECTIONS"
-.PP
-.IP
-.IP "\fBThe [global] section\fP"
-.IP
-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 \fB\'PARAMETERS\'\fP for more
-information\&.
-.IP
-.IP "\fBThe [homes] section\fP"
-.IP
-If a section called \f(CW\'homes\'\fP is included in the configuration file,
-services connecting clients to their home directories can be created
-on the fly by the server\&.
-.IP
-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\&.
-.IP
-Some modifications are then made to the newly created share:
-.IP
-.IP
-.IP o
-The share name is changed from \f(CW\'homes\'\fP to the located
-username
-.IP
-.IP o
-If no path was given, the path is set to the user\'s home
-directory\&.
-.IP
-.IP
-If you decide to use a \fBpath=\fP line in your [homes]
-section then you may find it useful to use the \fB%S\fP
-macro\&. For example :
-.IP
-\f(CWpath=/data/pchome/%S\fP
-.IP
-would be useful if you have different home directories for your PCs
-than for UNIX access\&.
-.IP
-This is a fast and simple way to give a large number of clients access
-to their home directories with a minimum of fuss\&.
-.IP
-A similar process occurs if the requested section name is \f(CW"homes"\fP,
-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\&.
-.IP
-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:
-.IP
-
-.nf
-
+You should use this option very carefully, as any user in
+this list will be able to do anything they like on the share,
+irrespective of file permissions.
- [homes]
- writeable = yes
+Default: \fBno admin users\fR
-.fi
-
+Example: \fBadmin users = jason\fR
+.TP
+\fBallow hosts (S)\fR
+Synonym for \fIhosts allow\fR <URL:smb.conf.5.html#hostsallow>.
+.TP
+\fBallow trusted domains (G)\fR
+This option only takes effect when the security <URL:smb.conf.5.html> option is set to
+\fIserver\fR or \fIdomain\fR.
+If it is set to no, then attempts to connect to a resource from
+a domain or workgroup other than the one which smbd is running
+in will fail, even if that domain is trusted by the remote server
+doing the authentication.
-.IP
-An important point is that if guest access is specified in the [homes]
-section, all home directories will be visible to all clients
-\fBwithout a password\fP\&. In the very unlikely event that this is
-actually desirable, it would be wise to also specify \fBread only
-access\fP\&.
-.IP
-Note that the \fBbrowseable\fP 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
-browseable=no in the [homes] section will hide the [homes] share but
-make any auto home directories visible\&.
-.IP
-.IP "\fBThe [printers] section\fP"
-.IP
-This section works like \fB[homes]\fP, but for printers\&.
-.IP
-If a \fB[printers]\fP section occurs in the configuration file, users are
-able to connect to any printer specified in the local host\'s printcap
-file\&.
-.IP
-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
-\fB[homes]\fP 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 \fB[printers]\fP
-section\&.
-.IP
-A few modifications are then made to the newly created share:
-.IP
-.IP
-.IP o
-The share name is set to the located printer name
-.IP
-.IP o
-If no printer name was given, the printer name is set to the
-located printer name
-.IP
-.IP o
-If the share does not permit guest access and no username was
-given, the username is set to the located printer name\&.
-.IP
-.IP
-Note that the \fB[printers]\fP service MUST be printable - if you specify
-otherwise, the server will refuse to load the configuration file\&.
-.IP
-Typically the path specified would be that of a world-writeable spool
-directory with the sticky bit set on it\&. A typical \fB[printers]\fP entry
-would look like this:
-.IP
-
-.nf
-
+This is useful if you only want your Samba server to
+serve resources to users in the domain it is a member of. As
+an example, suppose that there are two domains DOMA and DOMB. DOMB
+is trusted by DOMA, which contains the Samba server. Under normal
+circumstances, a user with an account in DOMB can then access the
+resources of a UNIX account with the same account name on the
+Samba server even if they do not have an account in DOMA. This
+can make implementing a security boundary difficult.
- [printers]
- path = /usr/spool/public
- guest ok = yes
- printable = yes
+Default: \fBallow trusted domains = yes\fR
+.TP
+\fBannounce as (G)\fR
+This specifies what type of server
+\fBnmbd\fR <URL:nmbd.8.html>
+will announce itself as, to a network neighborhood browse
+list. By default this is set to Windows NT. The valid options
+are : "NT" (which is a synonym for "NT Server"), "NT Server",
+"NT Workstation", "Win95" or "WfW" meaning Windows NT Server,
+Windows NT Workstation, Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups
+respectively. Do not change this parameter unless you have a
+specific need to stop Samba appearing as an NT server as this
+may prevent Samba servers from participating as browser servers
+correctly.
-.fi
-
+Default: \fBannounce as = NT Server\fR
-.IP
-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:
-.IP
+Example: \fBannounce as = Win95\fR
+.TP
+\fBannouce version (G)\fR
+This specifies the major and minor version numbers
+that nmbd will use when announcing itself as a server. The default
+is 4.2. Do not change this parameter unless you have a specific
+need to set a Samba server to be a downlevel server.
-.nf
-
- alias|alias|alias|alias\&.\&.\&.
-.fi
-
+Default: \fBannounce version = 4.2\fR
-.IP
-Each alias should be an acceptable printer name for your printing
-subsystem\&. In the \fB[global]\fP 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\&.
-.IP
-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
-("|")\&.
-.IP
-NOTE: On SYSV systems which use lpstat to determine what printers are
-defined on the system you may be able to use \fB"printcap name =
-lpstat"\fP to automatically obtain a list of
-printers\&. See the \fB"printcap name"\fP option for
-more details\&.
-.IP
-.PP
-.SH "PARAMETERS"
-.PP
-Parameters define the specific attributes of sections\&.
-.PP
-Some parameters are specific to the \fB[global]\fP section
-(e\&.g\&., \fBsecurity\fP)\&. Some parameters are usable in
-all sections (e\&.g\&., \fBcreate mode\fP)\&. All others are
-permissible only in normal sections\&. For the purposes of the following
-descriptions the \fB[homes]\fP and
-\fB[printers]\fP sections will be considered normal\&.
-The letter \f(CW\'G\'\fP in parentheses indicates that a parameter is
-specific to the \fB[global]\fP section\&. The letter \f(CW\'S\'\fP
-indicates that a parameter can be specified in a service specific
-section\&. Note that all \f(CW\'S\'\fP parameters can also be specified in the
-\fB[global]\fP section - in which case they will define
-the default behavior for all services\&.
-.PP
-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\&.
-.PP
-.SH "VARIABLE SUBSTITUTIONS"
-.PP
-Many of the strings that are settable in the config file can take
-substitutions\&. For example the option \fB\f(CW"path =
-/tmp/%u"\fP\fP would be interpreted as \f(CW"path = /tmp/john"\fP if

-.PP
-These substitutions are mostly noted in the descriptions below, but
-there are some general substitutions which apply whenever they might
-be relevant\&. These are:
-.PP
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%S\fP = the name of the current service, if any\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%P\fP = the root directory of the current service, if any\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%u\fP = user name of the current service, if any\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%g\fP = primary group name of \fB%u\fP\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%U\fP = session user name (the user name that
-the client wanted, not necessarily the same as the one they got)\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%G\fP = primary group name of \fB%U\fP\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%H\fP = the home directory of the user given by \fB%u\fP\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%v\fP = the Samba version\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%h\fP = the internet hostname that Samba is running on\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%m\fP = the NetBIOS name of the client machine (very useful)\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%L\fP = the NetBIOS name of the server\&. This allows you to change your
-config based on what the client calls you\&. Your server can have a "dual
-personality"\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%M\fP = the internet name of the client machine\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%N\fP = the name of your NIS home directory server\&. This is
-obtained from your NIS auto\&.map entry\&. If you have not compiled Samba
-with the \fB--with-automount\fP option then this value will be the same
-as \fB%L\fP\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%p\fP = the path of the service\'s home directory, obtained from your NIS
-auto\&.map entry\&. The NIS auto\&.map entry is split up as "%N:%p"\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%R\fP = the selected protocol level after protocol
-negotiation\&. It can be one of CORE, COREPLUS, LANMAN1, LANMAN2 or NT1\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%d\fP = The process id of the current server process\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%a\fP = the architecture of the remote
-machine\&. Only some are recognized, and those may not be 100%
-reliable\&. It currently recognizes Samba, WfWg, WinNT and
-Win95\&. Anything else will be known as "UNKNOWN"\&. If it gets it wrong
-then sending a level 3 log to \fIsamba@samba\&.org\fP
-should allow it to be fixed\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%I\fP = The IP address of the client machine\&.
-.IP
-.IP o
-\fB%T\fP = the current date and time\&.
-.IP
-.PP
-There are some quite creative things that can be done with these
-substitutions and other smb\&.conf options\&.
-.PP
-.SH "NAME MANGLING"
-.PP
-Samba supports \fI"name mangling"\fP so that DOS and Windows clients can
-use files that don\'t conform to the 8\&.3 format\&. It can also be set to
-adjust the case of 8\&.3 format filenames\&.
-.PP
-There are several options that control the way mangling is performed,
-and they are grouped here rather than listed separately\&. For the
-defaults look at the output of the testparm program\&.
-.PP
-All of these options can be set separately for each service (or
-globally, of course)\&.
-.PP
-The options are:
-.PP
-\fB"mangle case = yes/no"\fP controls if names that have characters that
-aren\'t of the "default" case are mangled\&. For example, if this is yes
-then a name like \f(CW"Mail"\fP would be mangled\&. Default \fIno\fP\&.
-.PP
-\fB"case sensitive = yes/no"\fP controls whether filenames are case
-sensitive\&. If they aren\'t then Samba must do a filename search and
-match on passed names\&. Default \fIno\fP\&.
-.PP
-\fB"default case = upper/lower"\fP controls what the default case is for new
-filenames\&. Default \fIlower\fP\&.
-.PP
-\fB"preserve case = yes/no"\fP controls if new files are created with the
-case that the client passes, or if they are forced to be the \f(CW"default"\fP
-case\&. Default \fIYes\fP\&.
-.PP
-.PP
-\fB"short preserve case = yes/no"\fP controls if new files which conform
-to 8\&.3 syntax, that is all in upper case and of suitable length, are
-created upper case, or if they are forced to be the \f(CW"default"\fP
-case\&. This option can be use with \fB"preserve case =
-yes"\fP to permit long filenames to retain their
-case, while short names are lowered\&. Default \fIYes\fP\&.
-.PP
-By default, Samba 2\&.0 has the same semantics as a Windows NT
-server, in that it is case insensitive but case preserving\&.
-.PP
-.SH "NOTE ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION"
-.PP
-There are a number of ways in which a user can connect to a
-service\&. The server follows the following steps in determining if it
-will allow a connection to a specified service\&. If all the steps fail
-then the connection request is rejected\&. If one of the steps pass then
-the following steps are not checked\&.
-.PP
-If the service is marked \fB"guest only = yes"\fP then
-steps 1 to 5 are skipped\&.
-.PP
-.IP
-.IP 1\&.
-Step 1: If the client has passed a username/password pair and
-that username/password pair is validated by the UNIX system\'s password
-programs then the connection is made as that username\&. Note that this
-includes the \f(CW\e\eserver\eservice%username\fP method of passing a
-username\&.
-.IP
-.IP 2\&.
-Step 2: If the client has previously registered a username with
-the system and now supplies a correct password for that username then
-the connection is allowed\&.
-.IP
-.IP 3\&.
-Step 3: The client\'s netbios name and any previously used user
-names are checked against the supplied password, if they match then
-the connection is allowed as the corresponding user\&.
-.IP
-.IP 4\&.
-Step 4: If the client has previously validated a
-username/password pair with the server and the client has passed the
-validation token then that username is used\&.
-.IP
-.IP 5\&.
-Step 5: If a \fB"user = "\fP field is given in the
-smb\&.conf file for the service and the client has supplied a password,
-and that password matches (according to the UNIX system\'s password
-checking) with one of the usernames from the \fBuser=\fP
-field then the connection is made as the username in the
-\fB"user="\fP line\&. If one of the username in the
-\fBuser=\fP list begins with a \f(CW\'@\'\fP then that name
-expands to a list of names in the group of the same name\&.
-.IP
-.IP 6\&.
-Step 6: If the service is a guest service then a connection is
-made as the username given in the \fB"guest account
-="\fP for the service, irrespective of the supplied
-password\&.

-.SH "EXPLANATION OF EACH PARAMETER"
-.PP
-.IP
-.IP "\fBadd user script (G)\fP"
-.IP
-This is the full pathname to a script that will be run \fIAS ROOT\fP by
-\fBsmbd (8)\fP under special circumstances decribed
-below\&.
-.IP
-Normally, a Samba server requires that UNIX users are created for all
-users accessing files on this server\&. For sites that use Windows NT
-account databases as their primary user database creating these users
-and keeping the user list in sync with the Windows NT PDC is an
-onerous task\&. This option allows \fBsmbd\fP to create
-the required UNIX users \fION DEMAND\fP when a user accesses the Samba
-server\&.
-.IP
-In order to use this option, \fBsmbd\fP must be set to
-\fBsecurity=server\fP or
-\fBsecurity=domain\fP and \fB"add user script"\fP
-must be set to a full pathname for a script that will create a UNIX user
-given one argument of \fB%u\fP, which expands into the UNIX user name to
-create\&.
-.IP
-When the Windows user attempts to access the Samba server, at
-\fI"login"\fP(session setup in the SMB protocol) time,
-\fBsmbd\fP contacts the \fBpassword
-server\fP and attempts to authenticate the given user
-with the given password\&. If the authentication succeeds then
-\fBsmbd\fP attempts to find a UNIX user in the UNIX
-password database to map the Windows user into\&. If this lookup fails,
-and \fB"add user script"\fP is set then \fBsmbd\fP will
-call the specified script \fIAS ROOT\fP, expanding any \fB%u\fP argument
-to be the user name to create\&.
-.IP
-If this script successfully creates the user then
-\fBsmbd\fP will continue on as though the UNIX user
-already existed\&. In this way, UNIX users are dynamically created to
-match existing Windows NT accounts\&.
-.IP
-See also \fBsecurity=server\fP,
-\fBsecurity=domain\fP, \fBpassword
-server\fP, \fBdelete user
-script\fP\&.
-.IP
-\fBDefault:\fP
-\f(CW add user script = <empty string>\fP
-.IP
-\fBExample:\fP
-\f(CW add user script = /usr/local/samba/bin/add_user %u\fP
-.IP
-.IP "\fBadmin users (S)\fP"
-.IP
-This is a list of users who will be granted administrative privileges
-on the share\&. This means that they will do all file operations as the
-super-user (root)\&.
-.IP
-You should use this option very carefully, as any user in this list
-will be able to do anything they like on the share, irrespective of
-file permissions\&.
-.IP
-\fBDefault:\fP
-.br
-\f(CW no admin users\fP
-.IP
-\fBExample:\fP
-.br
-\f(CW admin users = jason\fP
-.IP
-.IP "\fBallow hosts (S)\fP"
-.IP
-Synonym for \fBhosts allow\fP\&.
-.IP
-.IP "\fBallow trusted domains (G)\fP"
-.IP
-This option only takes effect when the \fBsecurity\fP
-option is set to \fBserver\fP or \fBdomain\fP\&. If it is set to no,
-then attempts to connect to a resource from a domain or workgroup other than
-the one which smbd is running in will fail, even if that domain
-is trusted by the remote server doing the authentication\&.
-.IP
-This is useful if you only want your Samba server to serve resources
-to users in the domain it is a member of\&. As an example, suppose that there are
-two domains DOMA and DOMB\&. DOMB is trusted by DOMA, which contains
-the Samba server\&. Under normal circumstances, a user with an account
-in DOMB can then access the resources of a UNIX account with the same
-account name on the Samba server even if they do not have an account
-in DOMA\&. This can make implementing a security boundary difficult\&.
-.IP
-\fBDefault:\fP
-\f(CW allow trusted domains = Yes\fP
-.IP
-\fBExample:\fP
-\f(CW allow trusted domains = No\fP
-.IP
-.IP "\fBalternate permissions (S)\fP"
-.IP
-This is a deprecated parameter\&. It no longer has any effect in Samba2\&.0\&.
-In previous versions of Samba it affected the way the DOS "read only"

+deleted in the directory. NMAKE therefore finds all object files
+in the object directory bar the last one built are out of date
+compared to the directory and rebuilds them. Enabling this option
+ensures directories always predate their contents and an NMAKE build
+will proceed as expected.
+
+Default: \fBfake directory create times = no\fR
+.TP
+\fBfake oplocks (S)\fR
+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 aggressively
+cache file data. With some oplock types the client may even cache
+file open/close operations. This can give enormous performance benefits.
+
+When you set \fBfake oplocks = yes\fR, \fBsmbd(8)\fR <URL:smbd.8.html> will
+always grant oplock requests no matter how many clients are using
+the file.
+
+It is generally much better to use the real \fIoplocks\fR support rather
+than this parameter.
+
+If you enable this option on all read-only shares or
+shares that you know will only be accessed from one client at a
+time such as physically read-only media like CDROMs, 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 at the same time you can get data corruption. Use
+this option carefully!
+
+Default: \fBfake oplocks = no\fR
+.TP
+\fBfollow symlinks (S)\fR
+This parameter allows the Samba administrator
+to stop \fBsmbd(8)\fR <URL:smbd.8.html>
+from following symbolic links in a particular share. Setting this
+parameter to no prevents any file or directory
+that is a symbolic link from being followed (the user will get an
+error). This option is very useful to stop users from adding a
+symbolic link to \fI/etc/passwd\fR in their home
+directory for instance. However it will slow filename lookups
+down slightly.
+
+This option is enabled (i.e. \fBsmbd\fR will
+follow symbolic links) by default.
+
+Default: \fBfollow symlinks = yes\fR
+.TP
+\fBforce create mode (S)\fR
+This parameter specifies a set of UNIX mode bit
+permissions that will \fBalways\fR be set on a

+the mode bits of a file that is being created or having its
+permissions changed. The default for this parameter is (in octal)
+000. The modes in this parameter are bitwise 'OR'ed onto the file
+mode after the mask set in the \fIcreate mask\fR
+parameter is applied.
+
+See also the parameter \fIcreate

+\fBinvalid users (S)\fR
+This is a list of users that should not be allowed

+check to absolutely ensure an improper setting does not breach
+your security.
+
+A name starting with a '@' is interpreted as an NIS
+netgroup first (if your system supports NIS), and then as a UNIX
+group if the name was not found in the NIS netgroup database.
+
+A name starting with '+' is interpreted only
+by looking in the UNIX group database. A name starting with
+\&'&' is interpreted only by looking in the NIS netgroup database
+(this requires NIS to be working on your system). The characters
+\&'+' and '&' may be used at the start of the name in either order
+so the value \fI+&group\fR means check the
+UNIX group database, followed by the NIS netgroup database, and
+the value \fI&+group"\fR means check the NIS
+netgroup database, followed by the UNIX group database (the

+\fBkeepalive (G)\fR
+The value of the parameter (an integer) represents
+the number of seconds between \fIkeepalive\fR
+packets. If this parameter is zero, no keepalive packets will be
+sent. Keepalive packets, if sent, allow the server to tell whether
+a client is still present and responding.
+
+Keepalives should, in general, not be needed if the socket
+being used has the SO_KEEPALIVE attribute set on it (see \fIsocket options\fR).
+Basically you should only use this option if you strike difficulties.

+\fBkernel oplocks (G)\fR
+For UNIXs that support kernel based \fIoplocks\fR
+(currently only IRIX and the Linux 2.4 kernel), this parameter
+allows the use of them to be turned on or off.
+
+Kernel oplocks support allows Samba \fIoplocks
+\fRto be broken whenever a local UNIX process or NFS operation
+accesses a file that \fBsmbd(8)\fR
+ <URL:smbd.8.html> has oplocked. This allows complete data consistency between
+SMB/CIFS, NFS and local file access (and is a \fBvery\fR
+cool feature :-).
+
+This parameter defaults to on on systems
+that have the support, and off on systems that
+don't. You should never need to touch this parameter.
+
+See also the \fIoplocks\fR
+and \fIlevel2 oplocks
+\fRparameters.
+
+Default: \fBkernel oplocks = yes\fR
+.TP
+\fBlevel2 oplocks (S)\fR
+This parameter controls whether Samba supports
+level2 (read-only) oplocks on a share.
+
+Level2, or read-only oplocks allow Windows NT clients
+that have an oplock on a file to downgrade from a read-write oplock
+to a read-only oplock once a second client opens the file (instead
+of releasing all oplocks on a second open, as in traditional,
+exclusive oplocks). This allows all openers of the file that
+support level2 oplocks to cache the file for read-ahead only (ie.
+they may not cache writes or lock requests) and increases performance
+for many acesses of files that are not commonly written (such as
+application .EXE files).
+
+Once one of the clients which have a read-only oplock
+writes to the file all clients are notified (no reply is needed
+or waited for) and told to break their oplocks to "none" and
+delete any read-ahead caches.
+
+It is recommended that this parameter be turned on
+to speed access to shared executables (and also to test
+the code :-).
+
+For more discussions on level2 oplocks see the CIFS spec.
+
+Currently, if \fIkernel
+oplocks\fR are supported then level2 oplocks are
+not granted (even if this parameter is set to yes).
+Note also, the \fIoplocks\fR
+parameter must be set to "true" on this share in order for
+this parameter to have any effect.

+\fBlm announce (G)\fR
+This parameter determines if \fBnmbd(8)\fR <URL:nmbd.8.html> will produce Lanman announce
+broadcasts that are needed by OS/2 clients in order for them to see
+the Samba server in their browse list. This parameter can have three
+values, true, false, or
+auto. The default is auto.
+If set to false Samba will never produce these
+broadcasts. If set to true Samba will produce
+Lanman announce broadcasts at a frequency set by the parameter
+\fIlm interval\fR. If set to auto
+Samba will not send Lanman announce broadcasts by default but will
+listen for them. If it hears such a broadcast on the wire it will
+then start sending them at a frequency set by the parameter
+\fIlm interval\fR.
+
+See also \fIlm interval

+
+Default: \fBlm announce = auto\fR

+\fBlm interval (G)\fR
+If Samba is set to produce Lanman announce
+broadcasts needed by OS/2 clients (see the \fIlm announce\fR parameter) then this
+parameter defines the frequency in seconds with which they will be
+made. If this is set to zero then no Lanman announcements will be
+made despite the setting of the \fIlm announce\fR
+parameter.

+.TP
+\fBlocal master (G)\fR
+This option allows \fB nmbd(8)\fR <URL:nmbd.8.html> to try and become a local master browser
+on a subnet. If set to False then \fB nmbd\fR will not attempt to become a local master browser
+on a subnet and will also lose in all browsing elections. By
+default this value is set to true. Setting this value to true doesn't
+mean that Samba will \fBbecome\fR the local master
+browser on a subnet, just that \fBnmbd\fR will \fB participate\fR in elections for local master browser.
+
+Setting this value to False will cause \fBnmbd\fR
+\fBnever\fR to become a local master browser.
+
+Default: \fBlocal master = yes\fR
+.TP
+\fBlock dir (G)\fR
+Synonym for \fI lock directory\fR.
+.TP
+\fBlock directory (G)\fR
+This option specifies the directory where lock
+files will be placed. The lock files are used to implement the
+\fImax connections\fR
+option.
+
+Default: \fBlock directory = /tmp/samba\fR
+
+Example: \fBlock directory = /usr/local/samba/var/locks\fR
+.TP
+\fBlocking (S)\fR
+This controls whether or not locking will be
+performed by the server in response to lock requests from the
+client.
+
+If \fBlocking = no\fR, all lock and unlock requests
+will appear to succeed and all lock queries will indicate that the
+queried lock is clear.
+
+If \fBlocking = yes\fR, real locking will be performed
+by the server.
+
+This option \fBmay\fR be useful for read-only
+filesystems which \fBmay\fR not need locking (such as
+cdrom drives), although setting this parameter of no
+is not really recommended even in this case.
+
+Be careful about disabling locking either globally or in a
+specific service, as lack of locking may result in data corruption.
+You should never need to set this parameter.
+
+Default: \fBlocking = yes\fR
+.TP
+\fBlog file (G)\fR
+This options allows you to override the name
+of the Samba log file (also known as the debug file).

+This option takes the standard substitutions, allowing

+
+This parameter can be used with Win9X workstations to ensure
+that roaming profiles are stored in a subdirectory of the user's
+home directory. This is done in the following way:
+
+\fBlogon home = \\\\%L\\%U\\profile\fR
+
+This tells Samba to return the above string, with
+substitutions made when a client requests the info, generally
+in a NetUserGetInfo request. Win9X clients truncate the info to

+
+Note that it is particularly important not to allow write

+\fBlppause command (S)\fR
+This parameter specifies the command to be
+executed on the server host in order to stop printing or spooling
+a specific print job.
+
+This command should be a program or script which takes
+a printer name and job number to pause the print job. One way
+of implementing this is by using job priorities, where jobs
+having a too low priority won't be sent to the printer.
+
+If a \fI%p\fR is given then the printername
+is put in its place. A \fI%j\fR is replaced with
+the job number (an integer). On HPUX (see \fIprinting=hpux
+\fR), if the \fI-p%p\fR option is added
+to the lpq command, the job will show up with the correct status, i.e.
+if the job priority is lower than the set fence priority it will
+have the PAUSED status, whereas if the priority is equal or higher it
+will have the SPOOLED or PRINTING status.
+
+Note that it is good practice to include the absolute path
+in the lppause command as the PATH may not be available to the server.
+
+See also the \fIprinting
+\fRparameter.
+
+Default: Currently no default value is given to
+this string, unless the value of the \fIprinting\fR

+
+Example for HPUX: \fBlppause command = /usr/bin/lpalt
+%p-%j -p0\fR
+.TP
+\fBlpq cache time (G)\fR
+This controls how long lpq info will be cached
+for to prevent the \fBlpq\fR command being called too
+often. A separate cache is kept for each variation of the \fB lpq\fR command used by the system, so if you use different
+\fBlpq\fR commands for different users then they won't
+share cache information.
+
+The cache files are stored in \fI/tmp/lpq.xxxx\fR
+where xxxx is a hash of the \fBlpq\fR command in use.
+
+The default is 10 seconds, meaning that the cached results
+of a previous identical \fBlpq\fR command will be used
+if the cached data is less than 10 seconds old. A large value may
+be advisable if your \fBlpq\fR command is very slow.
+
+A value of 0 will disable caching completely.
+

+Example: \fBlpq cache time = 30\fR
+.TP
+\fBlpq command (S)\fR
+This parameter specifies the command to be
+executed on the server host in order to obtain \fBlpq
+\fR-style printer status information.
+
+This command should be a program or script which
+takes a printer name as its only parameter and outputs printer
+status information.
+
+Currently eight styles of printer status information
+are supported; BSD, AIX, LPRNG, PLP, SYSV, HPUX, QNX and SOFTQ.
+This covers most UNIX systems. You control which type is expected
+using the \fIprinting =\fR option.
+
+Some clients (notably Windows for Workgroups) may not
+correctly send the connection number for the printer they are
+requesting status information about. To get around this, the
+server reports on the first printer service connected to by the
+client. This only happens if the connection number sent is invalid.
+
+If a \fI%p\fR is given then the printername
+is put in its place. Otherwise it is placed at the end of the
+command.
+
+Note that it is good practice to include the absolute path
+in the \fIlpq command\fR as the PATH may not be
+available to the server.
+
+See also the \fIprinting

+\fBlpresume command (S)\fR
+This parameter specifies the command to be
+executed on the server host in order to restart or continue
+printing or spooling a specific print job.
+
+This command should be a program or script which takes
+a printer name and job number to resume the print job. See
+also the \fIlppause command
+\fRparameter.
+
+If a \fI%p\fR is given then the printername
+is put in its place. A \fI%j\fR is replaced with
+the job number (an integer).

+Note that it is good practice to include the absolute path
+in the \fIlpresume command\fR as the PATH may not
+be available to the server.

+\fBlprm command (S)\fR
+This parameter specifies the command to be
+executed on the server host in order to delete a print job.
+
+This command should be a program or script which takes
+a printer name and job number, and deletes the print job.
+
+If a \fI%p\fR is given then the printername
+is put in its place. A \fI%j\fR is replaced with

+
+Default: \fBmachine password timeout = 604800\fR

+\fBmagic output (S)\fR
+This parameter specifies the name of a file
+which will contain output created by a magic script (see the
+\fImagic script\fR
+parameter below).
+
+Warning: If two clients use the same \fImagic script
+\fRin the same directory the output file content
+is undefined.
+
+Default: \fBmagic output = <magic script name>.out
+\fR
+Example: \fBmagic output = myfile.txt\fR
+.TP
+\fBmagic script (S)\fR
+This parameter specifies the name of a file which,
+if opened, will be executed by the server when the file is closed.
+This allows a UNIX script to be sent to the Samba host and
+executed on behalf of the connected user.
+
+Scripts executed in this way will be deleted upon
+completion, permissions permitting.
+
+If the script generates output, output will be sent to
+the file specified by the \fI magic output\fR parameter (see above).
+
+Note that some shells are unable to interpret scripts
+containing carriage-return-linefeed instead of linefeed as
+the end-of-line marker. Magic scripts must be executable
+\fBas is\fR on the host, which for some hosts and
+some shells will require filtering at the DOS end.
+
+Magic scripts are \fBEXPERIMENTAL\fR and

+\fBmangle case (S)\fR
+See the section on NAME MANGLING
+.TP
+\fBmangled map (S)\fR
+This is for those who want to directly map UNIX
+file names which can not be represented on Windows/DOS. The mangling
+of names is not always what is needed. In particular you may have
+documents with file extensions that differ between DOS and UNIX.
+For example, under UNIX it is common to use \fI.html\fR
+for HTML files, whereas under Windows/DOS \fI.htm\fR
+is more commonly used.
+
+So to map \fIhtml\fR to \fIhtm\fR
+you would use:
+
+\fBmangled map = (*.html *.htm)\fR
+
+One very useful case is to remove the annoying \fI;1
+\fRoff the ends of filenames on some CDROMS (only visible
+under some UNIXs). To do this use a map of (*;1 *;).
+
+Default: \fBno mangled map\fR
+
+Example: \fBmangled map = (*;1 *;)\fR
+.TP
+\fBmangled names (S)\fR
+This controls whether non-DOS names under UNIX
+should be mapped to DOS-compatible names ("mangled") and made visible,
+or whether non-DOS names should simply be ignored.

+
+Note that this option does not limit the amount of

+
+This option is primarily useful to work around bugs

+\fBnetbios scope (G)\fR
+This sets the NetBIOS scope that Samba will
+operate under. This should not be set unless every machine
+on your LAN also sets this value.
+.TP
+\fBnis homedir (G)\fR
+Get the home share server from a NIS map. For
+UNIX systems that use an automounter, the user's home directory
+will often be mounted on a workstation on demand from a remote
+server.
+
+When the Samba logon server is not the actual home directory
+server, but is mounting the home directories via NFS then two
+network hops would be required to access the users home directory
+if the logon server told the client to use itself as the SMB server
+for home directories (one over SMB and one over NFS). This can
+be very slow.
+
+This option allows Samba to return the home share as
+being on a different server to the logon server and as
+long as a Samba daemon is running on the home directory server,
+it will be mounted on the Samba client directly from the directory
+server. When Samba is returning the home share to the client, it
+will consult the NIS map specified in \fIhomedir map\fR and return the server
+listed there.
+
+Note that for this option to work there must be a working
+NIS system and the Samba server with this option must also
+be a logon server.
+
+Default: \fBnis homedir = no\fR
+.TP
+\fBnt acl support (G)\fR
+This boolean parameter controls whether
+smbd(8) <URL:smbd.8.html> will attempt to map
+UNIX permissions into Windows NT access control lists.
+
+Default: \fBnt acl support = yes\fR
+.TP
+\fBnt pipe support (G)\fR
+This boolean parameter controls whether
+smbd(8) <URL:smbd.8.html> will allow Windows NT
+clients to connect to the NT SMB specific IPC$
+pipes. This is a developer debugging option and can be left
+alone.
+
+Default: \fBnt pipe support = yes\fR
+.TP
+\fBnt smb support (G)\fR
+This boolean parameter controls whether smbd(8) <URL:smbd.8.html> will negotiate NT specific SMB
+support with Windows NT clients. Although this is a developer
+debugging option and should be left alone, benchmarking has discovered
+that Windows NT clients give faster performance with this option
+set to no. This is still being investigated.
+If this option is set to no then Samba offers
+exactly the same SMB calls that versions prior to Samba 2.0 offered.
+This information may be of use if any users are having problems
+with NT SMB support.
+
+Default: \fBnt support = yes\fR
+.TP
+\fBnull passwords (G)\fR
+Allow or disallow client access to accounts
+that have null passwords.
+
+See also smbpasswd (5) <URL:smbpasswd.5.html>.
+
+Default: \fBnull passwords = no\fR
+.TP
+\fBole locking compatibility (G)\fR
+This parameter allows an administrator to turn
+off the byte range lock manipulation that is done within Samba to
+give compatibility for OLE applications. Windows OLE applications
+use byte range locking as a form of inter-process communication, by
+locking ranges of bytes around the 2^32 region of a file range. This
+can cause certain UNIX lock managers to crash or otherwise cause
+problems. Setting this parameter to no means you
+trust your UNIX lock manager to handle such cases correctly.
+
+Default: \fBole locking compatibility = yes\fR
+.TP
+\fBonly guest (S)\fR
+A synonym for \fI guest only\fR.
+.TP
+\fBonly user (S)\fR
+This is a boolean option that controls whether
+connections with usernames not in the \fIuser\fR
+list will be allowed. By default this option is disabled so a client
+can supply a username to be used by the server.
+
+Note that this also means Samba won't try to deduce
+usernames from the service name. This can be annoying for
+the [homes] section. To get around this you could use \fBuser =
+%S\fR which means your \fIuser\fR list
+will be just the service name, which for home directories is the
+name of the user.
+
+See also the \fIuser\fR
+parameter.
+
+Default: \fBonly user = no\fR
+.TP
+\fBoplocks (S)\fR
+This boolean option tells smbd whether to
+issue oplocks (opportunistic locks) to file open requests on this
+share. The oplock code can dramatically (approx. 30% or more) improve
+the speed of access to files on Samba servers. It allows the clients
+to aggressively cache files ocally and you may want to disable this
+option for unreliable network environments (it is turned on by
+default in Windows NT Servers). For more information see the file
+\fISpeed.txt\fR in the Samba \fIdocs/\fR
+directory.
+
+Oplocks may be selectively turned off on certain files on
+a per share basis. See the \fI veto oplock files\fR parameter. On some systems
+oplocks are recognized by the underlying operating system. This
+allows data synchronization between all access to oplocked files,
+whether it be via Samba or NFS or a local UNIX process. See the
+\fIkernel oplocks\fR parameter for details.
+
+See also the \fIkernel
+oplocks\fR and \fI level2 oplocks\fR parameters.
+
+Default: \fBoplocks = yes\fR
+.TP
+\fBoplock break wait time (G)\fR
+This is a tuning parameter added due to bugs in
+both Windows 9x and WinNT. If Samba responds to a client too
+quickly when that client issues an SMB that can cause an oplock
+break request, then the client redirector can fail and not respond
+to the break request. This tuning parameter (which is set in milliseconds)
+is the amount of time Samba will wait before sending an oplock break
+request to such (broken) clients.
+
+\fBDO NOT CHANGE THIS PARAMETER UNLESS YOU HAVE READ
+AND UNDERSTOOD THE SAMBA OPLOCK CODE\fR.
+
+Default: \fBoplock break wait time = 10\fR
+.TP
+\fBoplock contention limit (S)\fR
+This is a \fBvery\fR advanced
+smbd(8) <URL:smbd.8.html> tuning option to
+improve the efficiency of the granting of oplocks under multiple
+client contention for the same file.
+
+In brief it specifies a number, which causes smbd not to
+grant an oplock even when requested if the approximate number of
+clients contending for an oplock on the same file goes over this
+limit. This causes \fBsmbd\fR to behave in a similar
+way to Windows NT.
+
+\fBDO NOT CHANGE THIS PARAMETER UNLESS YOU HAVE READ
+AND UNDERSTOOD THE SAMBA OPLOCK CODE\fR.
+
+Default: \fBoplock contention limit = 2\fR
+.TP
+\fBos level (G)\fR
+This integer value controls what level Samba
+advertises itself as for browse elections. The value of this
+parameter determines whether nmbd(8) <URL:nmbd.8.html>
+has a chance of becoming a local master browser for the \fI WORKGROUP\fR in the local broadcast area. The default is
+zero, which means \fBnmbd\fR will lose elections to
+Windows machines. See \fIBROWSING.txt\fR in the
+Samba \fIdocs/\fR directory for details.
+
+Default: \fBos level = 20\fR
+
+Example: \fBos level = 65 \fR
+.TP
+\fBpanic action (G)\fR
+This is a Samba developer option that allows a
+system command to be called when either smbd(8) <URL:smbd.8.html> or nmbd(8) <URL:nmbd.8.html>
+crashes. This is usually used to draw attention to the fact that
+a problem occurred.
+
+Default: \fBpanic action = <empty string>\fR
+
+Example: \fBpanic action = "/bin/sleep 90000"\fR
+.TP
+\fBpasswd chat (G)\fR
+This string controls the \fB"chat"\fR
+conversation that takes places between smbd <URL:smbd.8.html> and the local password changing
+program to change the users password. The string describes a
+sequence of response-receive pairs that smbd(8) <URL:smbd.8.html> uses to determine what to send to the
+\fIpasswd program\fR
+and what to expect back. If the expected output is not
+received then the password is not changed.
+
+This chat sequence is often quite site specific, depending
+on what local methods are used for password control (such as NIS
+etc).
+
+The string can contain the macros \fI%o\fR
+and \fI%n\fR which are substituted for the old
+and new passwords respectively. It can also contain the standard
+macros \\n, \\r, \\t and %s to give line-feed,
+carriage-return, tab and space.
+
+The string can also contain a '*' which matches
+any sequence of characters.
+
+Double quotes can be used to collect strings with spaces
+in them into a single string.
+
+If the send string in any part of the chat sequence
+is a fullstop ".", then no string is sent. Similarly,
+is the expect string is a fullstop then no string is expected.
+
+Note that if the \fIunix
+password sync\fR parameter is set to true, then this
+sequence is called \fBAS ROOT\fR when the SMB password
+in the smbpasswd file is being changed, without access to the old
+password cleartext. In this case the old password cleartext is set
+to "" (the empty string).
+
+See also \fIunix password

+\fBpasswd chat debug (G)\fR
+This boolean specifies if the passwd chat script

+strings passed to and received from the passwd chat are printed
+in the smbd(8) <URL:smbd.8.html> log with a

+\fBpath (S)\fR
+This parameter specifies a directory to which

+For a printable service offering guest access, the service
+should be readonly and the path should be world-writeable and
+have the sticky bit set. This is not mandatory of course, but
+you probably won't get the results you expect if you do
+otherwise.

+Any occurrences of \fI%u\fR in the path
+will be replaced with the UNIX username that the client is using

+
+The option sets the "security mode bit" in replies to
+protocol negotiations with smbd(8)
+ <URL:smbd.8.html> to turn share level security on or off. Clients decide
+based on this bit whether (and how) to transfer user and password
+information to the server.
+
+The default is \fBsecurity = user\fR, as this is
+the most common setting needed when talking to Windows 98 and
+Windows NT.
+
+The alternatives are \fBsecurity = share\fR,
+\fBsecurity = server\fR or \fBsecurity=domain
+\fR\&.
+
+In versions of Samba prior to 2..0, the default was
+\fBsecurity = share\fR mainly because that was
+the only option at one stage.
+
+There is a bug in WfWg that has relevance to this
+setting. When in user or server level security a WfWg client
+will totally ignore the password you type in the "connect
+drive" dialog box. This makes it very difficult (if not impossible)
+to connect to a Samba service as anyone except the user that
+you are logged into WfWg as.
+
+If your PCs use usernames that are the same as their
+usernames on the UNIX machine then you will want to use
+\fBsecurity = user\fR. If you mostly use usernames
+that don't exist on the UNIX box then use \fBsecurity =
+share\fR.
+
+You should also use \fBsecurity = share\fR if you
+want to mainly setup shares without a password (guest shares). This
+is commonly used for a shared printer server. It is more difficult
+to setup guest shares with \fBsecurity = user\fR, see
+the \fImap to guest\fR
+parameter for details.
+
+It is possible to use \fBsmbd\fR in a \fB hybrid mode\fR where it is offers both user and share
+level security under different \fINetBIOS aliases\fR.
+
+The different settings will now be explained.
+
+\fBSECURITY = SHARE
+\fR
+When clients connect to a share level security server then
+need not log onto the server with a valid username and password before
+attempting to connect to a shared resource (although modern clients
+such as Windows 95/98 and Windows NT will send a logon request with
+a username but no password when talking to a \fBsecurity = share
+\fRserver). Instead, the clients send authentication information
+(passwords) on a per-share basis, at the time they attempt to connect
+to that share.
+
+Note that \fBsmbd\fR \fBALWAYS\fR
+uses a valid UNIX user to act on behalf of the client, even in
+\fBsecurity = share\fR level security.
+
As clients are not required to send a username to the server
-in share level security, \fBsmbd\fP uses several

techniques to determine the correct UNIX user to use on behalf

client password is constructed using the following methods :

+\fBsocket options (G)\fR
+This option allows you to set socket options
+to be used when talking with the client.
+
+Socket options are controls on the networking layer
+of the operating systems which allow the connection to be
+tuned.
+
+This option will typically be used to tune your Samba
+server for optimal performance for your local network. There is
+no way that Samba can know what the optimal parameters are for
+your net, so you must experiment and choose them yourself. We
+strongly suggest you read the appropriate documentation for your
+operating system first (perhaps \fBman setsockopt\fR
+will help).
+
+You may find that on some systems Samba will say
+"Unknown socket option" when you supply an option. This means you
+either incorrectly typed it or you need to add an include file
+to includes.h for your OS. If the latter is the case please
+send the patch to samba@samba.org <URL:mailto:samba@samba.org>.
+
+Any of the supported socket options may be combined
+in any way you like, as long as your OS allows it.
+
+This is the list of socket options currently settable
+using this option:

+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.
+
+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.
+
+If any line begins with a '#' or a ';' then it is
+ignored
+
+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.
+
+For example to map from the name admin
+or administrator to the UNIX name root you would use:
+
+\fBroot = admin administrator\fR
+
+Or to map anyone in the UNIX group system
+to the UNIX name sys you would use:

+\fBwins hook (G)\fR
+When Samba is running as a WINS server this
+allows you to call an external program for all changes to the
+WINS database. The primary use for this option is to allow the
+dynamic update of external name resolution databases such as
+dynamic DNS.
+
+The wins hook parameter specifies the name of a script
+or executable that will be called as follows:
+
+\fBwins_hook operation name nametype ttl IP_list
+\fR.RS
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+The first argument is the operation and is one
+of "add", "delete", or "refresh". In most cases the operation can
+be ignored as the rest of the parameters provide sufficient
+information. Note that "refresh" may sometimes be called when the
+name has not previously been added, in that case it should be treated
+as an add.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+The second argument is the netbios name. If the
+name is not a legal name then the wins hook is not called.
+Legal names contain only letters, digits, hyphens, underscores
+and periods.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+The third argument is the netbios name
+type as a 2 digit hexadecimal number.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+The fourth argument is the TTL (time to live)
+for the name in seconds.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+The fifth and subsequent arguments are the IP
+addresses currently registered for that name. If this list is
+empty then the name should be deleted.

+\fBwins support (G)\fR
+This boolean controls if the
+nmbd(8) <URL:nmbd.8.html> process in Samba will act as a WINS server. You should
+not set this to true unless you have a multi-subnetted network and
+you wish a particular \fBnmbd\fR to be your WINS server.
+Note that you should \fBNEVER\fR set this to true
+on more than one machine in your network.
+
+Default: \fBwins support = no\fR
+.TP
+\fBworkgroup (G)\fR
+This controls what workgroup your server will
+appear to be in when queried by clients. Note that this parameter
+also controls the Domain name used with the \fBsecurity=domain\fR
+setting.
+
+Default: \fBset at compile time to WORKGROUP\fR
+
+Example: \fBworkgroup = MYGROUP\fR
+.TP
+\fBwritable (S)\fR
+Synonym for \fI writeable\fR for people who can't spell :-).
+.TP
+\fBwrite list (S)\fR
+This is a list of users that are given read-write
+access to a service. If the connecting user is in this list then
+they will be given write access, no matter what the \fIwriteable\fR
+option is set to. The list can include group names using the
+@group syntax.
+
+Note that if a user is in both the read list and the
+write list then they will be given write access.
+
+See also the \fIread list
+\fRoption.
+
+Default: \fBwrite list = <empty string>
+\fR
+Example: \fBwrite list = admin, root, @staff
+\fR.TP
+\fBwrite cache size (S)\fR
+This integer parameter (new with Samba 2.0.7)
+if set to non-zero causes Samba to create an in-memory cache for
+each oplocked file (it does \fBnot\fR do this for
+non-oplocked files). All writes that the client does not request
+to be flushed directly to disk will be stored in this cache if possible.
+The cache is flushed onto disk when a write comes in whose offset
+would not fit into the cache or when the file is closed by the client.
+Reads for the file are also served from this cache if the data is stored
+within it.
+
+This cache allows Samba to batch client writes into a more
+efficient write size for RAID disks (ie. writes may be tuned to
+be the RAID stripe size) and can improve performance on systems
+where the disk subsystem is a bottleneck but there is free
+memory for userspace programs.
+
+The integer parameter specifies the size of this cache
+(per oplocked file) in bytes.
+
+Default: \fBwrite cache size = 0\fR
+
+Example: \fBwrite cache size = 262144\fR
+
+for a 256k cache size per file.
+.TP
+\fBwrite ok (S)\fR
+Synonym for \fI writeable\fR.
+.TP
+\fBwrite raw (G)\fR
+This parameter controls whether or not the server
+will support raw writes SMB's when transferring data from clients.
+You should never need to change this parameter.
+
+Default: \fBwrite raw = yes\fR
+.TP
+\fBwriteable (S)\fR
+An inverted synonym is \fIread only\fR.
+
+If this parameter is no, then users
+of a service may not create or modify files in the service's
+directory.
+
+Note that a printable service (\fBprintable = yes\fR)
+will \fBALWAYS\fR allow writing to the directory
+(user privileges permitting), but only via spooling operations.
