The file specified contains the +configuration details required by the server. The +information in this file includes server-specific +information such as what printcap file to use, as well +as descriptions of all the services that the server is +to provide. See smb.conf(5) for more information. +The default configuration file name is determined at +compile time.
debuglevel is an integer +from 0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is +not specified is zero.
The higher this value, the more detail will be +logged to the log files about the activities of the +server. At level 0, only critical errors and serious +warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for +day to day running - it generates a small amount of +information about operations carried out.
Levels above 1 will generate considerable +amounts of log data, and should only be used when +investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for +use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log +data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
Note that specifying this parameter here will +override the log +level parameter in the smb.conf(5) file.
This option is used to determine what naming - services and in what order to resolve - host names to IP addresses. The option takes a space-separated - string of different name resolution options.
The options are: "lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast". - They cause names to be resolved as follows :
host: - Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using - the system /etc/hosts, NIS, or DNS - lookups. This method of name resolution is operating - system dependent, for instance on IRIX or Solaris this - may be controlled by the /etc/nsswitch.conf - /etc/nsswitch.conf file). Note that this method is only used - if the NetBIOS name type being queried is the 0x20 - (server) name type, otherwise it is ignored. -
wins: - Query a name with the IP address listed in the - wins server parameter. If no - WINS server has been specified this method will be - ignored. -
bcast: - Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces - listed in the interfaces - parameter. This is the least reliable of the name - resolution methods as it depends on the target host - being on a locally connected subnet. -
If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order - defined in the smb.conf(5) file parameter - (name resolve order) will be used.
The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast. Without - this parameter or any entry in the name resolve order - name resolve order parameter of the smb.conf(5) file, the name resolution methods - will be attempted in this order.
debug level is an integer from 0 to 10.
The default value if this parameter is not specified - is zero.
The higher this value, the more detail will be logged - about the activities of nmblookup(1). At level - 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will be logged. -
If specified causes all debug messages to be - written to the file specified by logfilename - . If not specified then all messages will be - written tostderr. -
