    EXPLANATION OF EACH PARAMETER

    auth methods (G)

    This option allows the administrator to chose what + authentication methods smbd will use when authenticating + a user. This option defaults to sensible values based on security. + + Each entry in the list attempts to authenticate the user in turn, until + the user authenticates. In practice only one method will ever actually + be able to complete the authentication. +

    Default: auth methods = <empty string>

    Example: auth methods = guest sam ntdomain

    available (S)
    program for information on how to set up and maintain this file), or set the security = [server|domain]security = [server|domain|ads] parameter which causes
    non unix account range (G)

    The non unix account range parameter specifies + the range of 'user ids' that are allocated by the various 'non unix + account' passdb backends. These backends allow + the storage of passwords for users who don't exist in /etc/passwd. + This is most often used for machine account creation. + This range of ids should have no existing local or NIS users within + it as strange conflicts can occur otherwise.

    NOTE: These userids never appear on the system and Samba will never + 'become' these users. They are used only to ensure that the algorithmic + RID mapping does not conflict with normal users. +

    Default: non unix account range = <empty string> +

    Example: non unix account range = 10000-20000

    nt acl support (S)
    nt smb support (G)

    This boolean parameter controls whether smbd(8) 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.

    You should not need to ever disable this parameter.

    Default: nt smb support = yes

    null passwords (G)
    passdb backend (G)

    This option allows the administrator to chose what + backend in which to store passwords. This allows (for example) both + smbpasswd and tdbsam to be used without a recompile. Only one can + be used at a time however, and experimental backends must still be selected + (eg --with-tdbsam) at configure time. +

    Default: passdb backend = smbpasswd

    Example: passdb backend = tdbsam

    passwd chat (G)

    winbind use default domain, winbind use default domain

    This parameter specifies whether the winbindd(8) + daemon should operate on users without domain component in their username. + Users without a domain component are treated as is part of the winbindd server's + own domain. While this does not benifit Windows users, it makes SSH, FTP and e-mail + function in a way much closer to the way they would in a native unix system.

    Default: winbind use default domain = <falseg> +

    Example: winbind use default domain = true
