smb.conf The smb.conf file is a configuration file for the Samba suite. smb.conf contains runtime configuration information for the Samba programs. The smb.conf file is designed to be configured and administered by the swat (8) program. The complete description of the file format and possible parameters held within are here for reference purposes. -

The file consists of sections and parameters. A section begins with the name of the section in square brackets and continues until the next section begins. Sections contain parameters of the form -

The file is line-based - that is, each newline-terminated line represents either a comment, a section name or a parameter. -

Section and parameter names are not case sensitive. +

Only the first equals sign in a parameter is significant. Whitespace before or after the first equals sign is discarded. Leading, trailing and internal whitespace in section and parameter names is irrelevant. Leading and trailing whitespace in a parameter value is discarded. Internal whitespace within a parameter value is retained verbatim. -

Any line beginning with a semicolon (';') or a hash ('#') character is ignored, as are lines containing only whitespace. -

Any line ending in a '\' is "continued" on the next line in the customary UNIX fashion. -


The values following the equals sign in parameters are all either a +

The values following the equals sign in parameters are all either a string (no quotes needed) or a boolean, which may be given as yes/no, 0/1 or true/false. Case is not significant in boolean values, but is preserved in string values. Some items such as create modes are numeric. -

SECTION DESCRIPTIONS

Each section in the configuration file (except for the +

Each section in the configuration file (except for the [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. -

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

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). -

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. -

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 and Windows NT, this should not be necessary. -

      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.

 all the data has been read from disk.

      This option allows you to specify a file containing a mapping of
 usernames from the clients to the server. This can be used for several
 purposes. The most common is to map usernames that users use on DOS or
 Windows machines to those that the UNIX box uses. The other is to map
 multiple users to a single username so that they can more easily share
 files.

      The map file is parsed line by line. Each line should 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.

      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 not 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.

    Although the configuration file permits service names to contain

    On a similar note, many clients - especially DOS clients - limit
 service names to eight characters. Smbd has no
 such limitation, but attempts to connect from such clients will fail
 if they truncate the service names.  For this reason you should
 probably keep your service names down to eight characters in length.
