  14. EXPLANATION OF EACH PARAMETER

algorithmic rid base (G)

This determines how Samba will use its + algorithmic mapping from uids/gid to the RIDs needed to construct + NT Security Identifiers.

Setting this option to a larger value could be useful to sites + transitioning from WinNT and Win2k, as existing user and + group rids would otherwise clash with sytem users etc. +

All UIDs and GIDs must be able to be resolved into SIDs for + the correct operation of ACLs on the server. As such the algorithmic + mapping can't be 'turned off', but pushing it 'out of the way' should + resolve the issues. Users and groups can then be assigned 'low' RIDs + in arbitary-rid supporting backends.

Default: algorithmic rid base = 1000

Example: algorithmic rid base = 100000

allow trusted domains (G)
csc policy (S)

This stands for client-side caching + policy, and specifies how clients capable of offline + caching will cache the files in the share. The valid values + are: manual, documents, programs, disable.

These values correspond to those used on Windows + servers.

For example, shares containing roaming profiles can have + offline caching disabled using csc policy = disable + .

Default: csc policy = manual

Example: csc policy = programs

deadtime (G)
inherit acls (S)

This parameter can be used to ensure + that if default acls exist on parent directories, + they are always honored when creating a subdirectory. + The default behavior is to use the mode specified + when creating the directory. Enabling this option + sets the mode to 0777, thus guaranteeing that + default directory acls are propagated. +

Default: inherit acls = no +

inherit permissions (S)
lock spin count (G)

This parameter controls the number of times + that smbd should attempt to gain a byte range lock on the + behalf of a client request. Experiments have shown that + Windows 2k servers do not reply with a failure if the lock + could not be immediately granted, but try a few more times + in case the lock could later be aquired. This behavior + is used to support PC database formats such as MS Access + and FoxPro. +

Default: lock spin count = 2 +

lock spin time (G)

The time in microseconds that smbd should + pause before attempting to gain a failed lock. See + lock spin + count for more details. +

Default: lock spin time = 10 +

nt status support (G)

This boolean parameter controls whether smbd(8) will negotiate NT specific status + support with Windows NT/2k/XP clients. This is a developer + debugging option and should be left alone. + If this option is set to no then Samba offers + exactly the same DOS error codes that versions prior to Samba 2.2.3 + reported.

You should not need to ever disable this parameter.

Default: nt status support = yes

pid directory (G)

This option specifies the directory where pid + files will be placed.

Default: pid directory = ${prefix}/var/locks

Example: pid directory = /var/run/ +

posix locking (S)

The print command is simply a text string. It will be used - verbatim, with two exceptions: All occurrences of %s - and %f will be replaced by the - appropriate spool file name, and all occurrences of %p - will be replaced by the appropriate printer name. The - spool file name is generated automatically by the server. The - %J macro can be used to access the job + verbatim after macro substitutions have been made:

s, %p - the path to the spool + file name

%p - the appropriate printer + name

%J - the job name as transmitted by the client.

%c - The number of printed pages + of the spooled job (if known).

%z - the size of the spooled + print job (in bytes)

share modes (S)

This enables or disables the honoring of + the share modes during a file open. These + modes are used by clients to gain exclusive read or write access + to a file.

These open modes are not directly supported by UNIX, so + they are simulated using shared memory, or lock files if your + UNIX doesn't support shared memory (almost all do).

The share modes that are enabled by this option are + DENY_DOS, DENY_ALL, + DENY_READ, DENY_WRITE, + DENY_NONE and DENY_FCB. +
