FILE FORMAT

SECTION DESCRIPTIONS

There are three special sections, [global], [homes] and [printers], which are - described under special sections. The following notes apply to ordinary section descriptions.

Sections may be designated Sections may be designated guest services, in which case no password is required to access them. A specified - UNIX guest account is used to define access privileges in this case.

/home/bar. The share is accessed via the share name "foo":

	 	[foo]
- 		path = /home/bar
- 		read only = no
-	
-
[foo] + path = /home/bar + read only = no

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 guest ok parameter means access will be permitted as the default guest user (specified elsewhere):

	 	[aprinter]
- 		path = /usr/spool/public
- 		read only = yes
- 		printable = yes
- 		guest ok = yes
-	
-
[aprinter] + path = /usr/spool/public + read only = yes + printable = yes + guest ok = yes

SPECIAL SECTIONS

The [global] section

The [homes] section

If you decide to use a If you decide to use a path = line in your [homes] section then you may find it useful to use the %S macro. For example :

			 	[homes]
- 			read only = no
-		
-
[homes] + read only = no

An important point is that if guest access is specified in the [homes] section, all home directories will be - visible to all clients without a password. In the very unlikely event that this is actually desirable, it - would be wise to also specify read only access.

Note that the Note that the browseable 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.

The [printers] section

	 	[printers]
- 			path = /usr/spool/public
- 			guest ok = yes
- 			printable = yes 
-		[printers]
+	path = /usr/spool/public
+	guest ok = yes
+	printable = yes

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:

			        alias|alias|alias|alias...

Each alias should be an acceptable printer name for your printing subsystem. In the [global] section, specify @@ -471,7 +443,7 @@ CLASS="COMPUTEROUTPUT" >

PARAMETERS

parameters define the specific attributes of sections.

Some parameters are specific to the [global] section - (e.g., security). Some parameters are usable - in all sections (e.g., create mode). 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 G in parentheses indicates that a parameter is specific to the - [global] section. The letter S indicates that a parameter can be specified in a service specific - section. Note that all S parameters can also be specified in the [global] section - in which case they will define the default behavior for all services.

VARIABLE SUBSTITUTIONS

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 --with-automount option then this value will be the same as %L.

NAME MANGLING

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 no.

controls whether filenames are case sensitive. If they aren't then Samba must do a filename search and match on passed - names. Default no.

controls what the default case is for new - filenames. Default lower.

controls if new files are created with the case that the client passes, or if they are forced to be the - "default" case. Default yes.

yes.
