3.8.2. Usage
1.1. Read the man pages
The man pages distributed with SAMBA contain 
-	lots of useful info that will help to get you started. 
-	If you don't know how to read man pages then try 
-	something like:
1.1. Obtaining and installing samba
$ man smbd.8Binary packages of samba are included in almost any Linux or 
+	Unix distribution. There are also some packages available at 
+	the samba homepage
-	or 
-	$ nroff -man smbd.8 | more
-	 on older unixes.
Other sources of information are pointed to 
-	by the Samba web site,	http://www.samba.org
If you need to compile samba from source, check the 
+	appropriate appendix chapter.
1.2. Building the Binaries
1.2. Configuring samba
To do this, first run the program ./configure
-	 in the source directory. This should automatically 
-	configure Samba for your operating system. If you have unusual 
-	needs then you may wish to run
Samba's configuration is stored in the smb.conf file, 
+	that usually resides in /etc/samba/smb.conf 
+	or /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf. You can either 
+	edit this file yourself or do it using one of the many graphical 
+	tools that are available, such as the web-based interface swat, that 
+	is included with samba.
1.2.1. Editing the smb.conf file
root# ./configure --help
-	
There are sample configuration files in the examples 
+	subdirectory in the distribution. I suggest you read them 
+	carefully so you can see how the options go together in 
+	practice. See the man page for all the options.
first to see what special options you can enable.
-	Then executing
The simplest useful configuration file would be 
+	something like this:
root# make
	[global]
+	   workgroup = MYGROUP
+
+	   [homes]
+	      guest ok = no
+	      read only = no
+	
will create the binaries. Once it's successfully 
-	compiled you can use 
which would allow connections by anyone with an 
+	account on the server, using either their login name or 
+	"homes" as the service name. (Note that I also set the 
+	workgroup that Samba is part of. See BROWSING.txt for details)
root# make install
to install the binaries and manual pages. You can 
-	separately install the binaries and/or man pages using
root# make installbin
-	
and
root# make installman
-	
Note that if you are upgrading for a previous version 
-	of Samba you might like to know that the old versions of 
-	the binaries will be renamed with a ".old" extension. You 
-	can go back to the previous version with
root# make revert
-	
if you find this version a disaster!
1.3. The all important step
At this stage you must fetch yourself a 
-	coffee or other drink you find stimulating. Getting the rest 
-	of the install right can sometimes be tricky, so you will 
-	probably need it.
If you have installed samba before then you can skip 
-	this step.
1.4. Create the smb configuration file.
There are sample configuration files in the examples 
-	subdirectory in the distribution. I suggest you read them 
-	carefully so you can see how the options go together in 
-	practice. See the man page for all the options.
The simplest useful configuration file would be 
-	something like this:
	[global]
-	   workgroup = MYGROUP
-
-	   [homes]
-	      guest ok = no
-	      read only = no
-	
which would allow connections by anyone with an 
-	account on the server, using either their login name or 
-	"homes" as the service name. (Note that I also set the 
-	workgroup that Samba is part of. See BROWSING.txt for details)
Note that Note that make install will not install 
 	a 
For more information about security settings for the 
 	[homes] share please refer to the document UNIX_SECURITY.txt.
1.5. Test your config file with 
+NAME="AEN50"
+>1.2.1.1. Test your config file with 
 	testparm
It's important that you test the validity of your
 	smb.conf!
1.2.2. SWAT
	SWAT is a web-based interface that helps you configure samba. 
+	SWAT might not be available in the samba package on your platform, 
+	but in a seperate package. Please read the swat manpage 
+	on compiling, installing and configuring swat from source.
+	
To launch SWAT just run your favorite web browser and 
+	point it at "http://localhost:901/". Replace localhost with the name of the computer you are running samba on if you 
+	are running samba on a different computer then your browser.
Note that you can attach to SWAT from any IP connected 
+	machine but connecting from a remote machine leaves your 
+	connection open to password sniffing as passwords will be sent 
+	in the clear over the wire. 
1.6. Starting the smbd and nmbd
1.3. Try listing the shares available on your 
+	server
You must choose to start smbd and nmbd either
-	as daemons or from inetd. Don't try
-	to do both!  Either you can put them in 	inetd.conf and have them started on demand
-	by inetd, or you can start them as
-	daemons either from the command line or in 	/etc/rc.local. See the man pages for details
-	on the command line options. Take particular care to read
-	the bit about what user you need to be in order to start
-	Samba.  In many cases you must be root.
$ smbclient -L 
+	yourhostname
The main advantage of starting smbd
-	and You should get back a list of shares available on 
+	your server. If you don't then something is incorrectly setup. 
+	Note that this method can also be used to see what shares 
+	are available on other LanManager clients (such as WfWg).
If you choose user level security then you may find 
+	that Samba requests a password before it will list the shares. 
+	See the nmbd using the recommended daemon method
-	is that they will respond slightly more quickly to an initial connection
-	request.
smbclient man page for details. (you 
+	can force it to list the shares without a password by
+	adding the option -U% to the command line. This will not work 
+	with non-Samba servers)
1.6.1. Starting from inetd.conf
1.4. Try connecting with the unix client
NOTE; The following will be different if 
-		you use NIS or NIS+ to distributed services maps.
$ smbclient 	//yourhostname/aservice
Look at your Typically the yourhostname 
+	would be the name of the host where you installed 	smbd. The aservice is 
+	any service you have defined in the /etc/services. 
-		What is defined at port 139/tcp. If nothing is defined 
-		then add a line like this:
smb.conf 
+	file. Try your user name if you just have a [homes] section
+	in smb.conf.
For example if your unix host is bambi and your login 
+	name is fred you would type:
$ netbios-ssn     139/tcpsmbclient //bambi/fred
+	
1.5. Try connecting from a DOS, WfWg, Win9x, WinNT, 
+	Win2k, OS/2, etc... client
similarly for 137/udp you should have an entry like:
Try mounting disks. eg:
C:\WINDOWS\> netbios-ns	137/udpnet use d: \\servername\service
+	
Next edit your /etc/inetd.conf 
-		and add two lines something like this:
Try printing. eg:
		netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd smbd 
-		netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd 
-		
C:\WINDOWS\> net use lpt1:
+	\\servername\spoolservice
The exact syntax of /etc/inetd.conf 
-		varies between unixes. Look at the other entries in inetd.conf 
-		for a guide.
C:\WINDOWS\> print filename
+	
NOTE: Some unixes already have entries like netbios_ns 
-		(note the underscore) in /etc/services. 
-		You must either edit /etc/services or
-		/etc/inetd.conf to make them consistent.
Celebrate, or send me a bug report!
1.6. What If Things Don't Work?
NOTE: On many systems you may need to use the 
-		"interfaces" option in smb.conf to specify the IP address 
-		and netmask of your interfaces. Run ifconfig 
-		as root if you don't know what the broadcast is for your
-		net. nmbd tries to determine it at run 
-		time, but fails on some unixes. See the section on "testing nmbd" 
-		for a method of finding if you need to do this.
Then you might read the file HOWTO chapter Diagnosis and the 
+	FAQ. If you are still stuck then try the mailing list or 
+	newsgroup (look in the README for details). Samba has been 
+	successfully installed at thousands of sites worldwide, so maybe 
+	someone else has hit your problem and has overcome it. You could 
+	also use the WWW site to scan back issues of the samba-digest.
!!!WARNING!!! Many unixes only accept around 5 
-		parameters on the command line in inetd.conf. 
-		This means you shouldn't use spaces between the options and 
-		arguments, or you should use a script, and start the script 
-		from inetd.
When you fix the problem please send some 
+	updates of the documentation (or source code) to one of 
+	the documentation maintainers or the list.
+	
1.6.1. Scope IDs
Restart inetd, perhaps just send 
-		it a HUP. If you have installed an earlier version of 		nmbd then you may need to kill nmbd as well.
By default Samba uses a blank scope ID. This means 
+		all your windows boxes must also have a blank scope ID. 
+		If you really want to use a non-blank scope ID then you will 
+		need to use the 'netbios scope' smb.conf option.
+        All your PCs will need to have the same setting for 
+		this to work. I do not recommend scope IDs.
1.6.2. Alternative: starting it as a daemon
1.6.2. Locking
To start the server as a daemon you should create 
-		a script something like this one, perhaps calling 
-		it startsmb.
One area which sometimes causes trouble is locking.
		#!/bin/sh
-		/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D 
-		/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D 
-		
There are two types of locking which need to be 
+		performed by a SMB server. The first is "record locking" 
+		which allows a client to lock a range of bytes in a open file. 
+		The second is the "deny modes" that are specified when a file 
+		is open.
then make it executable with chmod 
-		+x startsmb
Record locking semantics under Unix is very
+		different from record locking under Windows. Versions
+		of Samba before 2.2 have tried to use the native
+		fcntl() unix system call to implement proper record
+		locking between different Samba clients. This can not
+		be fully correct due to several reasons. The simplest
+		is the fact that a Windows client is allowed to lock a
+		byte range up to 2^32 or 2^64, depending on the client
+		OS. The unix locking only supports byte ranges up to
+		2^31. So it is not possible to correctly satisfy a
+		lock request above 2^31. There are many more
+		differences, too many to be listed here.
You can then run startsmb by 
-		hand or execute it from /etc/rc.local
-		
Samba 2.2 and above implements record locking
+		completely independent of the underlying unix
+		system. If a byte range lock that the client requests
+		happens to fall into the range 0-2^31, Samba hands
+		this request down to the Unix system. All other locks
+		can not be seen by unix anyway.
To kill it send a kill signal to the processes 
-		nmbd and smbd.
Strictly a SMB server should check for locks before 
+		every read and write call on a file. Unfortunately with the 
+		way fcntl() works this can be slow and may overstress the 
+		rpc.lockd. It is also almost always unnecessary as clients 
+		are supposed to independently make locking calls before reads 
+		and writes anyway if locking is important to them. By default 
+		Samba only makes locking calls when explicitly asked
+		to by a client, but if you set "strict locking = yes" then it will
+		make lock checking calls on every read and write. 
NOTE: If you use the SVR4 style init system then 
-		you may like to look at the examples/svr4-startup
-		script to make Samba fit into that system.
You can also disable by range locking completely 
+		using "locking = no". This is useful for those shares that 
+		don't support locking or don't need it (such as cdroms). In 
+		this case Samba fakes the return codes of locking calls to 
+		tell clients that everything is OK.
The second class of locking is the "deny modes". These 
+		are set by an application when it opens a file to determine 
+		what types of access should be allowed simultaneously with 
+		its open. A client may ask for DENY_NONE, DENY_READ, DENY_WRITE 
+		or DENY_ALL. There are also special compatibility modes called 
+		DENY_FCB and  DENY_DOS.

1.7. Try listing the shares available on your - server

$ smbclient -L - yourhostname

Chapter 2. Quick Cross Subnet Browsing / Cross Workgroup Browsing guide

You should get back a list of shares available on - your server. If you don't then something is incorrectly setup. - Note that this method can also be used to see what shares - are available on other LanManager clients (such as WfWg).

This document should be read in conjunction with Browsing and may +be taken as the fast track guide to implementing browsing across subnets +and / or across workgroups (or domains). WINS is the best tool for resolution +of NetBIOS names to IP addesses. WINS is NOT involved in browse list handling +except by way of name to address mapping.

If you choose user level security then you may find - that Samba requests a password before it will list the shares. - See the smbclient man page for details. (you - can force it to list the shares without a password by - adding the option -U% to the command line. This will not work - with non-Samba servers)

Note: MS Windows 2000 and later can be configured to operate with NO NetBIOS +over TCP/IP. Samba-3 and later also supports this mode of operation.

1.8. Try connecting with the unix client

2.1. Discussion

$ smbclient //yourhostname/aservice

Firstly, all MS Windows networking is based on SMB (Server Message +Block) based messaging. SMB messaging may be implemented using NetBIOS or +without NetBIOS. Samba implements NetBIOS by encapsulating it over TCP/IP. +MS Windows products can do likewise. NetBIOS based networking uses broadcast +messaging to affect browse list management. When running NetBIOS over +TCP/IP this uses UDP based messaging. UDP messages can be broadcast or unicast.

Typically the yourhostname - would be the name of the host where you installed smbd. The aservice is - any service you have defined in the smb.conf - file. Try your user name if you just have a [homes] section - in smb.conf.

Normally, only unicast UDP messaging can be forwarded by routers. The +"remote announce" parameter to smb.conf helps to project browse announcements +to remote network segments via unicast UDP. Similarly, the "remote browse sync" +parameter of smb.conf implements browse list collation using unicast UDP.

For example if your unix host is bambi and your login - name is fred you would type:

Secondly, in those networks where Samba is the only SMB server technology +wherever possible nmbd should be configured on one (1) machine as the WINS +server. This makes it easy to manage the browsing environment. If each network +segment is configured with it's own Samba WINS server, then the only way to +get cross segment browsing to work is by using the "remote announce" and +the "remote browse sync" parameters to your smb.conf file.

$ smbclient //bambi/fred -

If only one WINS server is used for an entire multi-segment network then +the use of the "remote announce" and the "remote browse sync" parameters +should NOT be necessary.

As of Samba-3 WINS replication is being worked on. The bulk of the code has +been committed, but it still needs maturation.

Right now samba WINS does not support MS-WINS replication. This means that +when setting up Samba as a WINS server there must only be one nmbd configured +as a WINS server on the network. Some sites have used multiple Samba WINS +servers for redundancy (one server per subnet) and then used "remote browse +sync" and "remote announce" to affect browse list collation across all +segments. Note that this means clients will only resolve local names, +and must be configured to use DNS to resolve names on other subnets in +order to resolve the IP addresses of the servers they can see on other +subnets. This setup is not recommended, but is mentioned as a practical +consideration (ie: an 'if all else fails' scenario).

Lastly, take note that browse lists are a collection of unreliable broadcast +messages that are repeated at intervals of not more than 15 minutes. This means +that it will take time to establish a browse list and it can take up to 45 +minutes to stabilise, particularly across network segments.

1.9. Try connecting from a DOS, WfWg, Win9x, WinNT, - Win2k, OS/2, etc... client

Try mounting disks. eg:

C:\WINDOWS\> net use d: \\servername\service -

Try printing. eg:

C:\WINDOWS\> print filename -

Celebrate, or send me a bug report!

1.10. What If Things Don't Work?

If nothing works and you start to think "who wrote - this pile of trash" then I suggest you do step 2 again (and - again) till you calm down.

Then you might read the file DIAGNOSIS.txt and the - FAQ. If you are still stuck then try the mailing list or - newsgroup (look in the README for details). Samba has been - successfully installed at thousands of sites worldwide, so maybe - someone else has hit your problem and has overcome it. You could - also use the WWW site to scan back issues of the samba-digest.

When you fix the problem PLEASE send me some updates to the - documentation (or source code) so that the next person will find it - easier.

1.10.1. Diagnosing Problems

If you have installation problems then go to the - Diagnosis chapter to try to find the - problem.

1.10.2. Scope IDs

By default Samba uses a blank scope ID. This means - all your windows boxes must also have a blank scope ID. - If you really want to use a non-blank scope ID then you will - need to use the 'netbios scope' smb.conf option. - All your PCs will need to have the same setting for - this to work. I do not recommend scope IDs.

1.10.3. Choosing the Protocol Level

The SMB protocol has many dialects. Currently - Samba supports 5, called CORE, COREPLUS, LANMAN1, - LANMAN2 and NT1.

You can choose what maximum protocol to support - in the smb.conf file. The default is - NT1 and that is the best for the vast majority of sites.

In older versions of Samba you may have found it - necessary to use COREPLUS. The limitations that led to - this have mostly been fixed. It is now less likely that you - will want to use less than LANMAN1. The only remaining advantage - of COREPLUS is that for some obscure reason WfWg preserves - the case of passwords in this protocol, whereas under LANMAN1, - LANMAN2 or NT1 it uppercases all passwords before sending them, - forcing you to use the "password level=" option in some cases.

The main advantage of LANMAN2 and NT1 is support for - long filenames with some clients (eg: smbclient, Windows NT - or Win95).

See the smb.conf(5) manual page for more details.

Note: To support print queue reporting you may find - that you have to use TCP/IP as the default protocol under - WfWg. For some reason if you leave Netbeui as the default - it may break the print queue reporting on some systems. - It is presumably a WfWg bug.

1.10.4. Printing from UNIX to a Client PC

To use a printer that is available via a smb-based - server from a unix host with LPR you will need to compile the - smbclient program. You then need to install the script - "smbprint". Read the instruction in smbprint for more details. -

There is also a SYSV style script that does much - the same thing called smbprint.sysv. It contains instructions.

See the CUPS manual for information about setting up - printing from a unix host with CUPS to a smb-based server.

1.10.5. Locking

One area which sometimes causes trouble is locking.

There are two types of locking which need to be - performed by a SMB server. The first is "record locking" - which allows a client to lock a range of bytes in a open file. - The second is the "deny modes" that are specified when a file - is open.

Record locking semantics under Unix is very - different from record locking under Windows. Versions - of Samba before 2.2 have tried to use the native - fcntl() unix system call to implement proper record - locking between different Samba clients. This can not - be fully correct due to several reasons. The simplest - is the fact that a Windows client is allowed to lock a - byte range up to 2^32 or 2^64, depending on the client - OS. The unix locking only supports byte ranges up to - 2^31. So it is not possible to correctly satisfy a - lock request above 2^31. There are many more - differences, too many to be listed here.

A client may ask for DENY_NONE, DENY_READ, DENY_WRITE - or DENY_ALL. There are also special compatibility modes called - DENY_FCB and DENY_DOS.

1.10.6. Mapping Usernames

If you have different usernames on the PCs and - the unix server then take a look at the "username map" option. - See the smb.conf man page for details.

-be accessed via anonymous CVS using the instructions
-detailed in this chapter.
       
+Starting with Samba 3.0 alpha 2, a new group mapping function is available. The
+current method (likely to change) to manage the groups is a new command called
+smbgroupedit.
      This document is a modified version of the instructions found at
-http://samba.org/samba/cvs.html
      17.2. CVS Access to samba.org
      The first immediate reason to use the group mapping on a PDC, is that
+the domain admin group of smb.conf is 
+now gone. This parameter was used to give the listed users local admin rights 
+on their workstations. It was some magic stuff that simply worked but didn't
+scale very well for complex setups.
      The machine samba.org runs a publicly accessible CVS 
-repository for access to the source code of several packages, 
-including samba, rsync and jitterbug. There are two main ways of 
-accessing the CVS server on this host.
      17.2.1. Access via CVSweb
      Let me explain how it works on NT/W2K, to have this magic fade away.
+When installing NT/W2K on a computer, the installer program creates some users
+and groups. Notably the 'Administrators' group, and gives to that group some
+privileges like the ability to change the date and time or to kill any process
+(or close too) running on the local machine. The 'Administrator' user is a
+member of the 'Administrators' group, and thus 'inherit' the 'Administrators'
+group privileges. If a 'joe' user is created and become a member of the
+'Administrator' group, 'joe' has exactly the same rights as 'Administrator'.
      You can access the source code via your 
-favourite WWW browser. This allows you to access the contents of 
-individual files in the repository and also to look at the revision 
-history and commit logs of individual files. You can also ask for a diff 
-listing between any two versions on the repository.
      When a NT/W2K machine is joined to a domain, during that phase, the "Domain
+Administrators' group of the PDC is added to the 'Administrators' group of the
+workstation. Every members of the 'Domain Administrators' group 'inherit' the
+rights of the 'Administrators' group when logging on the workstation.
      You are now wondering how to make some of your samba PDC users members of the
+'Domain Administrators' ? That's really easy.
      Use the URL : http://samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb
      17.2.2. Access via cvs
      1. You can also access the source code via a 
-normal cvs client.  This gives you much more control over you can 
-do with the repository and allows you to checkout whole source trees 
-and keep them up to date via normal cvs commands. This is the 
-preferred method of access if you are a developer and not
-just a casual browser.
        To download the latest cvs source code, point your
-browser at the URL : http://www.cyclic.com/.
-and click on the 'How to get cvs' link. CVS is free software under 
-the GNU GPL (as is Samba).  Note that there are several graphical CVS clients
-which provide a graphical interface to the sometimes mundane CVS commands.
-Links to theses clients are also available from http://www.cyclic.com.
        To gain access via anonymous cvs use the following steps. 
-For this example it is assumed that you want a copy of the 
-samba source code. For the other source code repositories 
-on this system just substitute the correct package name
        1. 	Install a recent copy of cvs. All you really need is a 
-	copy of the cvs client binary. 
-	
        2. 	Run the command 
-	
          	cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot login
-	
          	When it asks you for a password type cvs.
-	
        3. 	Run the command 
-	
          	cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot co samba
-	
          	This will create a directory called samba containing the 
-	latest samba source code (i.e. the HEAD tagged cvs branch). This 
-	currently corresponds to the 3.0 development tree. 
-	
          	CVS branches other HEAD can be obtained by using the -r
-	and defining a tag name.  A list of branch tag names can be found on the
-	"Development" page of the samba web site.  A common request is to obtain the
-	latest 2.2 release code.  This could be done by using the following command.
-	
          	cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot co -r SAMBA_2_2 samba
-	
        4. 	Whenever you want to merge in the latest code changes use 
-	the following command from within the samba directory: 
-	
          	cvs update -d -P
-

      Chapter 20. Securing Samba
      20.1. Introduction
      This note was attached to the Samba 2.2.8 release notes as it contained an
+important security fix.  The information contained here applies to Samba
+installations in general.
      20.2. Using host based protection
      In many installations of Samba the greatest threat comes for outside
+your immediate network. By default Samba will accept connections from
+any host, which means that if you run an insecure version of Samba on
+a host that is directly connected to the Internet you can be
+especially vulnerable.
      One of the simplest fixes in this case is to use the 'hosts allow' and
+'hosts deny' options in the Samba smb.conf configuration file to only
+allow access to your server from a specific range of hosts. An example
+might be:
        hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.3.0/24
+  hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
      The above will only allow SMB connections from 'localhost' (your own
+computer) and from the two private networks 192.168.2 and
+192.168.3. All other connections will be refused connections as soon
+as the client sends its first packet. The refusal will be marked as a
+'not listening on called name' error.
      20.3. Using interface protection
      By default Samba will accept connections on any network interface that
+it finds on your system. That means if you have a ISDN line or a PPP
+connection to the Internet then Samba will accept connections on those
+links. This may not be what you want.
      You can change this behaviour using options like the following:
        interfaces = eth* lo
+  bind interfaces only = yes
      This tells Samba to only listen for connections on interfaces with a
+name starting with 'eth' such as eth0, eth1, plus on the loopback
+interface called 'lo'. The name you will need to use depends on what
+OS you are using, in the above I used the common name for Ethernet
+adapters on Linux.
      If you use the above and someone tries to make a SMB connection to
+your host over a PPP interface called 'ppp0' then they will get a TCP
+connection refused reply. In that case no Samba code is run at all as
+the operating system has been told not to pass connections from that
+interface to any process.
      20.4. Using a firewall
      Many people use a firewall to deny access to services that they don't
+want exposed outside their network. This can be a very good idea,
+although I would recommend using it in conjunction with the above
+methods so that you are protected even if your firewall is not active
+for some reason.
      If you are setting up a firewall then you need to know what TCP and
+UDP ports to allow and block. Samba uses the following:
      UDP/137    - used by nmbd
+UDP/138    - used by nmbd
+TCP/139    - used by smbd
+TCP/445    - used by smbd
      The last one is important as many older firewall setups may not be
+aware of it, given that this port was only added to the protocol in
+recent years. 
      20.5. Using a IPC$ share deny
      If the above methods are not suitable, then you could also place a
+more specific deny on the IPC$ share that is used in the recently
+discovered security hole. This allows you to offer access to other
+shares while denying access to IPC$ from potentially untrustworthy
+hosts.
      To do that you could use:
        [ipc$]
+     hosts allow = 192.168.115.0/24 127.0.0.1
+     hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
      this would tell Samba that IPC$ connections are not allowed from
+anywhere but the two listed places (localhost and a local
+subnet). Connections to other shares would still be allowed. As the
+IPC$ share is the only share that is always accessible anonymously
+this provides some level of protection against attackers that do not
+know a username/password for your host.
      If you use this method then clients will be given a 'access denied'
+reply when they try to access the IPC$ share. That means that those
+clients will not be able to browse shares, and may also be unable to
+access some other resources. 
      This is not recommended unless you cannot use one of the other
+methods listed above for some reason.
      20.6. Upgrading Samba
      Please check regularly on http://www.samba.org/ for updates and
+important announcements.  Occasionally security releases are made and 
+it is highly recommended to upgrade Samba when a security vulnerability
+is discovered.

      22.4. Windows '95/'98

      22.5. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2

      +There are several annoyances with Windows 2000 SP2. One of which +only appears when using a Samba server to host user profiles +to Windows 2000 SP2 clients in a Windows domain. This assumes +that Samba is a member of the domain, but the problem will +likely occur if it is not.

      +In order to server profiles successfully to Windows 2000 SP2 +clients (when not operating as a PDC), Samba must have +nt acl support = no +added to the file share which houses the roaming profiles. +If this is not done, then the Windows 2000 SP2 client will +complain about not being able to access the profile (Access +Denied) and create multiple copies of it on disk (DOMAIN.user.001, +DOMAIN.user.002, etc...). See the +smb.conf(5) man page +for more details on this option. Also note that the +nt acl support parameter was formally a global parameter in +releases prior to Samba 2.2.2.

      +The following is a minimal profile share:

      	[profile]
+		path = /export/profile
+		create mask = 0600
+		directory mask = 0700
+		nt acl support = no
+		read only = no

      The reason for this bug is that the Win2k SP2 client copies +the security descriptor for the profile which contains +the Samba server's SID, and not the domain SID. The client +compares the SID for SAMBA\user and realizes it is +different that the one assigned to DOMAIN\user. Hence the reason +for the "access denied" message.

      By disabling the nt acl support parameter, Samba will send +the Win2k client a response to the QuerySecurityDescriptor +trans2 call which causes the client to set a default ACL +for the profile. This default ACL includes

      DOMAIN\user "Full Control"

      NOTE : This bug does not occur when using winbind to +create accounts on the Samba host for Domain users.

      Chapter 23. How to compile SAMBA

      You can obtain the samba source from the samba website. To obtain a development version, +you can download samba from CVS or using rsync.

      23.1. Access Samba source code via CVS

      23.1.1. Introduction

      Samba is developed in an open environment. Developers use CVS +(Concurrent Versioning System) to "checkin" (also known as +"commit") new source code. Samba's various CVS branches can +be accessed via anonymous CVS using the instructions +detailed in this chapter.

      This chapter is a modified version of the instructions found at +http://samba.org/samba/cvs.html

      23.1.2. CVS Access to samba.org

      The machine samba.org runs a publicly accessible CVS +repository for access to the source code of several packages, +including samba, rsync and jitterbug. There are two main ways of +accessing the CVS server on this host.

      23.1.2.1. Access via CVSweb

      You can access the source code via your +favourite WWW browser. This allows you to access the contents of +individual files in the repository and also to look at the revision +history and commit logs of individual files. You can also ask for a diff +listing between any two versions on the repository.

      Use the URL : http://samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb

      23.1.2.2. Access via cvs

      You can also access the source code via a +normal cvs client. This gives you much more control over you can +do with the repository and allows you to checkout whole source trees +and keep them up to date via normal cvs commands. This is the +preferred method of access if you are a developer and not +just a casual browser.

      To download the latest cvs source code, point your +browser at the URL : http://www.cyclic.com/. +and click on the 'How to get cvs' link. CVS is free software under +the GNU GPL (as is Samba). Note that there are several graphical CVS clients +which provide a graphical interface to the sometimes mundane CVS commands. +Links to theses clients are also available from http://www.cyclic.com.

      To gain access via anonymous cvs use the following steps. +For this example it is assumed that you want a copy of the +samba source code. For the other source code repositories +on this system just substitute the correct package name

      1. Install a recent copy of cvs. All you really need is a + copy of the cvs client binary. +

      2. Run the command +

        cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot login +

        When it asks you for a password type cvs. +

      3. Run the command +

        cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot co samba +

        This will create a directory called samba containing the + latest samba source code (i.e. the HEAD tagged cvs branch). This + currently corresponds to the 3.0 development tree. +

        CVS branches other HEAD can be obtained by using the -r + and defining a tag name. A list of branch tag names can be found on the + "Development" page of the samba web site. A common request is to obtain the + latest 2.2 release code. This could be done by using the following command. +

        cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot co -r SAMBA_2_2 samba +

      4. Whenever you want to merge in the latest code changes use + the following command from within the samba directory: +

        cvs update -d -P +

      23.2. Accessing the samba sources via rsync and ftp

      pserver.samba.org also exports unpacked copies of most parts of the CVS tree at ftp://pserver.samba.org/pub/unpacked and also via anonymous rsync at rsync://pserver.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/. I recommend using rsync rather than ftp. + See the rsync homepage for more info on rsync. +

      The disadvantage of the unpacked trees + is that they do not support automatic + merging of local changes like CVS does. + rsync access is most convenient for an + initial install. +

      23.3. Building the Binaries

      To do this, first run the program ./configure + in the source directory. This should automatically + configure Samba for your operating system. If you have unusual + needs then you may wish to run

      root# ./configure --help +

      first to see what special options you can enable. + Then executing

      root# make

      will create the binaries. Once it's successfully + compiled you can use

      root# make install

      to install the binaries and manual pages. You can + separately install the binaries and/or man pages using

      root# make installbin +

      and

      root# make installman +

      Note that if you are upgrading for a previous version + of Samba you might like to know that the old versions of + the binaries will be renamed with a ".old" extension. You + can go back to the previous version with

      root# make revert +

      if you find this version a disaster!

      23.4. Starting the smbd and nmbd

      You must choose to start smbd and nmbd either + as daemons or from inetd. Don't try + to do both! Either you can put them in inetd.conf and have them started on demand + by inetd, or you can start them as + daemons either from the command line or in /etc/rc.local. See the man pages for details + on the command line options. Take particular care to read + the bit about what user you need to be in order to start + Samba. In many cases you must be root.

      The main advantage of starting smbd + and nmbd using the recommended daemon method + is that they will respond slightly more quickly to an initial connection + request.

      23.4.1. Starting from inetd.conf

      When using Windows 95 OEM SR2 the following updates are recommended where Samba -is being used. Please NOTE that the above change will affect you once these -updates have been installed.

      NOTE; The following will be different if + you use NIS, NIS+ or LDAP to distribute services maps.

      -There are more updates than the ones mentioned here. You are referred to the -Microsoft Web site for all currently available updates to your specific version -of Windows 95.

      Look at your /etc/services. + What is defined at port 139/tcp. If nothing is defined + then add a line like this:

      netbios-ssn 139/tcp

      1. Kernel Update: KRNLUPD.EXE

      2. similarly for 137/udp you should have an entry like:

        Ping Fix: PINGUPD.EXE

      3. netbios-ns 137/udp

        RPC Update: RPCRTUPD.EXE

      4. Next edit your /etc/inetd.conf + and add two lines something like this:

        TCP/IP Update: VIPUPD.EXE

      5. 		netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd smbd 
+		netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd 
+

        Redirector Update: VRDRUPD.EXE

      The exact syntax of /etc/inetd.conf + varies between unixes. Look at the other entries in inetd.conf + for a guide.

      Also, if using MS OutLook it is desirable to install the OLEUPD.EXE fix. This -fix may stop your machine from hanging for an extended period when exiting -OutLook and you may also notice a significant speedup when accessing network -neighborhood services.

      22.5. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2

      NOTE: Some unixes already have entries like netbios_ns + (note the underscore) in /etc/services. + You must either edit /etc/services or + /etc/inetd.conf to make them consistent.

      NOTE: On many systems you may need to use the + "interfaces" option in smb.conf to specify the IP address + and netmask of your interfaces. Run ifconfig -There are several annoyances with Windows 2000 SP2. One of which -only appears when using a Samba server to host user profiles -to Windows 2000 SP2 clients in a Windows domain. This assumes -that Samba is a member of the domain, but the problem will -likely occur if it is not.

      nmbd       tries to determine it at run + time, but fails on some unixes. See the section on "testing nmbd" + for a method of finding if you need to do this.

      -In order to server profiles successfully to Windows 2000 SP2 -clients (when not operating as a PDC), Samba must have -!!!WARNING!!!

      inetd, perhaps just send + it a HUP. If you have installed an earlier version of nmbd then you may need to kill nmbd as well.

      23.4.2. Alternative: starting it as a daemon

      -The following is a minimal profile share:

      To start the server as a daemon you should create + a script something like this one, perhaps calling + it startsmb.

      	[profile]
-		path = /export/profile

-		directory mask = 0700
-		nt acl support = no
-		read only = no
      #!/bin/sh + /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D + /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D +

      The reason for this bug is that the Win2k SP2 client copies -the security descriptor for the profile which contains -the Samba server's SID, and not the domain SID. The client -compares the SID for SAMBA\user and realizes it is -different that the one assigned to DOMAIN\user. Hence the reason -for the "access denied" message.

      then make it executable with chmod + +x startsmb

      By disabling the You can then run nt acl support parameter, Samba will send -the Win2k client a response to the QuerySecurityDescriptor -trans2 call which causes the client to set a default ACL -for the profile. This default ACL includes

      nmbd and smbd.

      NOTE : This bug does not occur when using winbind to -create accounts on the Samba host for Domain users.

Samba WINS does not support MS-WINS replication. This means that when setting up -Samba as a WINS server there must only be one nmbd configured as a WINS server -on the network. Some sites have used multiple Samba WINS servers for redundancy -(one server per subnet) and then used "remote browse sync" and "remote announce" -to affect browse list collation across all segments.

Diagnosing your samba server
+How to compile SAMBA
SAMBA Project Documentation
PrevNext

Chapter 23. How to compile SAMBA

You can obtain the samba source from the samba website. To obtain a development version, +you can download samba from CVS or using rsync.

23.1. Access Samba source code via CVS

23.1.1. Introduction

Samba is developed in an open environment. Developers use CVS +(Concurrent Versioning System) to "checkin" (also known as +"commit") new source code. Samba's various CVS branches can +be accessed via anonymous CVS using the instructions +detailed in this chapter.

This chapter is a modified version of the instructions found at +http://samba.org/samba/cvs.html

23.1.2. CVS Access to samba.org

The machine samba.org runs a publicly accessible CVS +repository for access to the source code of several packages, +including samba, rsync and jitterbug. There are two main ways of +accessing the CVS server on this host.

23.1.2.1. Access via CVSweb

You can access the source code via your +favourite WWW browser. This allows you to access the contents of +individual files in the repository and also to look at the revision +history and commit logs of individual files. You can also ask for a diff +listing between any two versions on the repository.

Use the URL : http://samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb

23.1.2.2. Access via cvs

You can also access the source code via a +normal cvs client. This gives you much more control over you can +do with the repository and allows you to checkout whole source trees +and keep them up to date via normal cvs commands. This is the +preferred method of access if you are a developer and not +just a casual browser.

To download the latest cvs source code, point your +browser at the URL : http://www.cyclic.com/. +and click on the 'How to get cvs' link. CVS is free software under +the GNU GPL (as is Samba). Note that there are several graphical CVS clients +which provide a graphical interface to the sometimes mundane CVS commands. +Links to theses clients are also available from http://www.cyclic.com.

To gain access via anonymous cvs use the following steps. +For this example it is assumed that you want a copy of the +samba source code. For the other source code repositories +on this system just substitute the correct package name

  1. Install a recent copy of cvs. All you really need is a + copy of the cvs client binary. +

  2. Run the command +

    cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot login +

    When it asks you for a password type cvs. +

  3. Run the command +

    cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot co samba +

    This will create a directory called samba containing the + latest samba source code (i.e. the HEAD tagged cvs branch). This + currently corresponds to the 3.0 development tree. +

    CVS branches other HEAD can be obtained by using the -r + and defining a tag name. A list of branch tag names can be found on the + "Development" page of the samba web site. A common request is to obtain the + latest 2.2 release code. This could be done by using the following command. +

    cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot co -r SAMBA_2_2 samba +

  4. Whenever you want to merge in the latest code changes use + the following command from within the samba directory: +

    cvs update -d -P +

23.2. Accessing the samba sources via rsync and ftp

pserver.samba.org also exports unpacked copies of most parts of the CVS tree at ftp://pserver.samba.org/pub/unpacked and also via anonymous rsync at rsync://pserver.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/. I recommend using rsync rather than ftp. + See the rsync homepage for more info on rsync. +

The disadvantage of the unpacked trees + is that they do not support automatic + merging of local changes like CVS does. + rsync access is most convenient for an + initial install. +

23.3. Building the Binaries

To do this, first run the program ./configure + in the source directory. This should automatically + configure Samba for your operating system. If you have unusual + needs then you may wish to run

root# ./configure --help +

first to see what special options you can enable. + Then executing

root# make

will create the binaries. Once it's successfully + compiled you can use

root# make install

to install the binaries and manual pages. You can + separately install the binaries and/or man pages using

root# make installbin +

and

root# make installman +

Note that if you are upgrading for a previous version + of Samba you might like to know that the old versions of + the binaries will be renamed with a ".old" extension. You + can go back to the previous version with

root# make revert +

if you find this version a disaster!

23.4. Starting the smbd and nmbd

You must choose to start smbd and nmbd either + as daemons or from inetd. Don't try + to do both! Either you can put them in inetd.conf and have them started on demand + by inetd, or you can start them as + daemons either from the command line or in /etc/rc.local. See the man pages for details + on the command line options. Take particular care to read + the bit about what user you need to be in order to start + Samba. In many cases you must be root.

The main advantage of starting smbd + and nmbd using the recommended daemon method + is that they will respond slightly more quickly to an initial connection + request.

23.4.1. Starting from inetd.conf

NOTE; The following will be different if + you use NIS, NIS+ or LDAP to distribute services maps.

Look at your /etc/services. + What is defined at port 139/tcp. If nothing is defined + then add a line like this:

netbios-ssn 139/tcp

similarly for 137/udp you should have an entry like:

netbios-ns 137/udp

Next edit your /etc/inetd.conf + and add two lines something like this:

		netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd smbd 
+		netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd 
+

The exact syntax of /etc/inetd.conf + varies between unixes. Look at the other entries in inetd.conf + for a guide.

NOTE: Some unixes already have entries like netbios_ns + (note the underscore) in /etc/services. + You must either edit /etc/services or + /etc/inetd.conf to make them consistent.

NOTE: On many systems you may need to use the + "interfaces" option in smb.conf to specify the IP address + and netmask of your interfaces. Run ifconfig + as root if you don't know what the broadcast is for your + net. nmbd tries to determine it at run + time, but fails on some unixes. See the section on "testing nmbd" + for a method of finding if you need to do this.

!!!WARNING!!! Many unixes only accept around 5 + parameters on the command line in inetd.conf. + This means you shouldn't use spaces between the options and + arguments, or you should use a script, and start the script + from inetd.

Restart inetd, perhaps just send + it a HUP. If you have installed an earlier version of nmbd then you may need to kill nmbd as well.

23.4.2. Alternative: starting it as a daemon

To start the server as a daemon you should create + a script something like this one, perhaps calling + it startsmb.

		#!/bin/sh
+		/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D 
+		/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D 
+

then make it executable with chmod + +x startsmb

You can then run startsmb by + hand or execute it from /etc/rc.local +

To kill it send a kill signal to the processes + nmbd and smbd.

NOTE: If you use the SVR4 style init system then + you may like to look at the examples/svr4-startup + script to make Samba fit into that system.

 moving parts.  It has taken Microsoft several years to get the code
 that achieves this correct, and Samba lags behind in some areas.

 >How to Install and Test SAMBA1.1. Read the man pages
The man pages distributed with SAMBA contain 
-	lots of useful info that will help to get you started.

-	something like:
1.1. Obtaining and installing samba

Other sources of information are pointed to 
-	by the Samba web site,Binary packages of samba are included in almost any Linux or 
+	Unix distribution. There are also some packages available at 
+		http://www.samba.org

1.2. Building the Binaries

To do this, first run the program ./configure - in the source directory. This should automatically - configure Samba for your operating system. If you have unusual - needs then you may wish to run

root# ./configure --help -

first to see what special options you can enable. - Then executing

root# make

will create the binaries. Once it's successfully - compiled you can use

root# make install

to install the binaries and manual pages. You can - separately install the binaries and/or man pages using

root# make installbin -

and

root# make installman -

Note that if you are upgrading for a previous version - of Samba you might like to know that the old versions of - the binaries will be renamed with a ".old" extension. You - can go back to the previous version with

root# make revert -

if you find this version a disaster!

If you need to compile samba from source, check the + appropriate appendix chapter.

1.3. The all important step

At this stage you must fetch yourself a - coffee or other drink you find stimulating. Getting the rest - of the install right can sometimes be tricky, so you will - probably need it.

1.2. Configuring samba

If you have installed samba before then you can skip - this step.

1.5. Test your config file with +NAME="AEN50" +>1.2.1.1. Test your config file with testparm

It's important that you test the validity of your smb.conf!

1.6. Starting the smbd and nmbd

You must choose to start smbd and nmbd either - as daemons or from inetd. Don't try - to do both! Either you can put them in inetd.conf and have them started on demand - by inetd, or you can start them as - daemons either from the command line or in /etc/rc.local. See the man pages for details - on the command line options. Take particular care to read - the bit about what user you need to be in order to start - Samba. In many cases you must be root.

The main advantage of starting smbd - and nmbd using the recommended daemon method - is that they will respond slightly more quickly to an initial connection - request.

1.6.1. Starting from inetd.conf

NOTE; The following will be different if - you use NIS or NIS+ to distributed services maps.

Look at your /etc/services. - What is defined at port 139/tcp. If nothing is defined - then add a line like this:

netbios-ssn 139/tcp

similarly for 137/udp you should have an entry like:

netbios-ns 137/udp

Next edit your /etc/inetd.conf - and add two lines something like this:

		netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd smbd 
-		netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd 
-

The exact syntax of /etc/inetd.conf - varies between unixes. Look at the other entries in inetd.conf - for a guide.

NOTE: Some unixes already have entries like netbios_ns - (note the underscore) in /etc/services. - You must either edit /etc/services or - /etc/inetd.conf to make them consistent.

NOTE: On many systems you may need to use the - "interfaces" option in smb.conf to specify the IP address - and netmask of your interfaces. Run ifconfig - as root if you don't know what the broadcast is for your - net. nmbd tries to determine it at run - time, but fails on some unixes. See the section on "testing nmbd" - for a method of finding if you need to do this.

!!!WARNING!!! Many unixes only accept around 5 - parameters on the command line in inetd.conf. - This means you shouldn't use spaces between the options and - arguments, or you should use a script, and start the script - from inetd.

Restart inetd, perhaps just send - it a HUP. If you have installed an earlier version of nmbd then you may need to kill nmbd as well.

1.6.2. Alternative: starting it as a daemon

To start the server as a daemon you should create - a script something like this one, perhaps calling - it startsmb.

		#!/bin/sh
-		/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D 
-		/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D 
-

then make it executable with chmod - +x startsmb

You can then run startsmb by - hand or execute it from /etc/rc.local -

To kill it send a kill signal to the processes - nmbd and smbd.

NOTE: If you use the SVR4 style init system then - you may like to look at the examples/svr4-startup - script to make Samba fit into that system.

1.2.2. SWAT

SWAT is a web-based interface that helps you configure samba. + SWAT might not be available in the samba package on your platform, + but in a seperate package. Please read the swat manpage + on compiling, installing and configuring swat from source. +

1.6.1. Scope IDs

By default Samba uses a blank scope ID. This means all your windows boxes must also have a blank scope ID. If you really want to use a non-blank scope ID then you will need to use the 'netbios scope' smb.conf option. - All your PCs will need to have the same setting for + All your PCs will need to have the same setting for this to work. I do not recommend scope IDs.

1.10.3. Choosing the Protocol Level

The SMB protocol has many dialects. Currently - Samba supports 5, called CORE, COREPLUS, LANMAN1, - LANMAN2 and NT1.

You can choose what maximum protocol to support - in the smb.conf file. The default is - NT1 and that is the best for the vast majority of sites.

In older versions of Samba you may have found it - necessary to use COREPLUS. The limitations that led to - this have mostly been fixed. It is now less likely that you - will want to use less than LANMAN1. The only remaining advantage - of COREPLUS is that for some obscure reason WfWg preserves - the case of passwords in this protocol, whereas under LANMAN1, - LANMAN2 or NT1 it uppercases all passwords before sending them, - forcing you to use the "password level=" option in some cases.

The main advantage of LANMAN2 and NT1 is support for - long filenames with some clients (eg: smbclient, Windows NT - or Win95).

See the smb.conf(5) manual page for more details.

Note: To support print queue reporting you may find - that you have to use TCP/IP as the default protocol under - WfWg. For some reason if you leave Netbeui as the default - it may break the print queue reporting on some systems. - It is presumably a WfWg bug.

1.10.4. Printing from UNIX to a Client PC

To use a printer that is available via a smb-based - server from a unix host with LPR you will need to compile the - smbclient program. You then need to install the script - "smbprint". Read the instruction in smbprint for more details. -

There is also a SYSV style script that does much - the same thing called smbprint.sysv. It contains instructions.

See the CUPS manual for information about setting up - printing from a unix host with CUPS to a smb-based server.

Chapter 3. Oplocks

3.1. What are oplocks?

When a client opens a file it can request an "oplock" or file -lease. This is (to simplify a bit) a guarentee that no one else -has the file open simultaneously. It allows the client to not -send any updates on the file to the server, thus reducing a -network file access to local access (once the file is in -client cache). An "oplock break" is when the server sends -a request to the client to flush all its changes back to -the server, so the file is in a consistent state for other -opens to succeed. If a client fails to respond to this -asynchronous request then the file can be corrupted. Hence -the "turn off oplocks" answer if people are having multi-user -file access problems.

Unless the kernel is "oplock aware" (SGI IRIX and Linux are -the only two UNIXes that are at the moment) then if a local -UNIX process accesses the file simultaneously then Samba -has no way of telling this is occuring, so the guarentee -to the client is broken. This can corrupt the file. Short -answer - it you have UNIX clients accessing the same file -as smbd locally or via NFS and you're not running Linux or -IRIX then turn off oplocks for that file or share.

"Share modes". These are modes of opening a file, that -guarentee an invarient - such as DENY_WRITE - which means -that if any other opens are requested with write access after -this current open has succeeded then they should be denied -with a "sharing violation" error message. Samba handles these -internally inside smbd. UNIX clients accessing the same file -ignore these invarients. Just proving that if you need simultaneous -file access from a Windows and UNIX client you *must* have an -application that is written to lock records correctly on both -sides. Few applications are written like this, and even fewer -are cross platform (UNIX and Windows) so in practice this isn't -much of a problem.

"Locking". This really means "byte range locking" - such as -lock 10 bytes at file offset 24 for write access. This is the -area in which well written UNIX and Windows apps will cooperate. -Windows locks (at least from NT or above) are 64-bit unsigned -offsets. UNIX locks are either 31 bit or 63 bit and are signed -(the top bit is used for the sign). Samba handles these by -first ensuring that all the Windows locks don't conflict (ie. -if other Windows clients have competing locks then just reject -immediately) - this allows us to support 64-bit Windows locks -on 32-bit filesystems. Secondly any locks that are valid are -then mapped onto UNIX fcntl byte range locks. These are the -locks that will be seen by UNIX processes. If there is a conflict -here the lock is rejected.

Note that if a client has an oplock then it "knows" that no -other client can have the file open so usually doesn't bother -to send to lock request to the server - this means once again -if you need to share files between UNIX and Windows processes -either use IRIX or Linux, or turn off oplocks for these -files/shares.

16.3. Configuring

This plugin lacks some good documentation, but here is some short info:

Add a the following to the passdb backend variable in your smb.conf: -

The identifier can be any string you like, as long as it doesn't collide with -the identifiers of other plugins or other instances of pdb_mysql. If you -specify multiple pdb_mysql.so entries in 'passdb backend', you also need to -use different identifiers!

Additional options can be given thru the smb.conf file in the [global] section.

-identifier:table                          - Name of the table containing users

WARNING: since the password for the mysql user is stored in the -smb.conf file, you should make the the smb.conf file -readable only to the user that runs samba. This is considered a security -bug and will be fixed soon.

Names of the columns in this table(I've added column types those columns should have first):

identifier:logon time column             - int(9)

-identifier:fullname column            - varchar(255) - Full name of user
-identifier:home dir column               - varchar(255) - Unix homedir path

-identifier:gid column                    - int(9) - Unix user group (gid)
-identifier:user sid column               - varchar(255) - NT user SID
-identifier:group sid column              - varchar(255) - NT group ID
-identifier:lanman pass column            - varchar(255) - encrypted lanman password
-identifier:nt pass column                - varchar(255) - encrypted nt passwd
-identifier:plain pass column             - varchar(255) - plaintext password
-identifier:acct control column           - int(9) - nt user data

-identifier:logon divs column             - int(9) - ?
-identifier:hours len column              - int(9) - ?
-identifier:unknown 5 column              - int(9) - unknown
-identifier:unknown 6 column              - int(9) - unknown

Eventually, you can put a colon (:) after the name of each column, which -should specify the column to update when updating the table. You can also -specify nothing behind the colon - then the data from the field will not be -updated.

16.4. Using plaintext passwords or encrypted password

I strongly discourage the use of plaintext passwords, however, you can use them:

If you would like to use plaintext passwords, set 'identifier:lanman pass column' and 'identifier:nt pass column' to 'NULL' (without the quotes) and 'identifier:plain pass column' to the name of the column containing the plaintext passwords.

If you use encrypted passwords, set the 'identifier:plain pass column' to 'NULL' (without the quotes). This is the default.

16.5. Getting non-column data from the table

It is possible to have not all data in the database and making some 'constant'.

For example, you can set 'identifier:fullname column' to : -CONCAT(First_name,' ',Sur_name)

Or, set 'identifier:workstations column' to : -NULL

-LanMan and NT Password Encryption in Samba
SAMBA Project Documentation

Chapter 4. LanMan and NT Password Encryption in Samba

4.1. Introduction

Newer windows clients send encrypted passwords over - the wire, instead of plain text passwords. The newest clients - will only send encrypted passwords and refuse to send plain text - passwords, unless their registry is tweaked.

These passwords can't be converted to unix style encrypted - passwords. Because of that you can't use the standard unix - user database, and you have to store the Lanman and NT hashes - somewhere else. For more information, see the documentation - about the passdb backend = parameter. -

4.2. Important Notes About Security

The unix and SMB password encryption techniques seem similar - on the surface. This similarity is, however, only skin deep. The unix - scheme typically sends clear text passwords over the network when - logging in. This is bad. The SMB encryption scheme never sends the - cleartext password over the network but it does store the 16 byte - hashed values on disk. This is also bad. Why? Because the 16 byte hashed - values are a "password equivalent". You cannot derive the user's - password from them, but they could potentially be used in a modified - client to gain access to a server. This would require considerable - technical knowledge on behalf of the attacker but is perfectly possible. - You should thus treat the smbpasswd file as though it contained the - cleartext passwords of all your users. Its contents must be kept - secret, and the file should be protected accordingly.

Ideally we would like a password scheme which neither requires - plain text passwords on the net or on disk. Unfortunately this - is not available as Samba is stuck with being compatible with - other SMB systems (WinNT, WfWg, Win95 etc).

Note that Windows NT 4.0 Service pack 3 changed the - default for permissible authentication so that plaintext - passwords are never sent over the wire. - The solution to this is either to switch to encrypted passwords - with Samba or edit the Windows NT registry to re-enable plaintext - passwords. See the document WinNT.txt for details on how to do - this.

Other Microsoft operating systems which also exhibit - this behavior includes

  • MS DOS Network client 3.0 with - the basic network redirector installed

  • Windows 95 with the network redirector - update installed

  • Windows 98 [se]

  • Windows 2000

Note :All current release of - Microsoft SMB/CIFS clients support authentication via the - SMB Challenge/Response mechanism described here. Enabling - clear text authentication does not disable the ability - of the client to participate in encrypted authentication.

4.2.1. Advantages of SMB Encryption

  • plain text passwords are not passed across - the network. Someone using a network sniffer cannot just - record passwords going to the SMB server.

  • WinNT doesn't like talking to a server - that isn't using SMB encrypted passwords. It will refuse - to browse the server if the server is also in user level - security mode. It will insist on prompting the user for the - password on each connection, which is very annoying. The - only things you can do to stop this is to use SMB encryption. -

4.2.2. Advantages of non-encrypted passwords

  • plain text passwords are not kept - on disk.

  • uses same password file as other unix - services such as login and ftp

  • you are probably already using other - services (such as telnet and ftp) which send plain text - passwords over the net, so sending them for SMB isn't - such a big deal.

4.3. The smbpasswd Command

The smbpasswd command maintains the two 32 byte password fields - in the smbpasswd file. If you wish to make it similar to the unix - passwd or yppasswd programs, - install it in /usr/local/samba/bin/ (or your - main Samba binary directory).

smbpasswd now works in a client-server mode - where it contacts the local smbd to change the user's password on its - behalf. This has enormous benefits - as follows.

smbpasswd now has the capability - to change passwords on Windows NT servers (this only works when - the request is sent to the NT Primary Domain Controller if you - are changing an NT Domain user's password).

To run smbpasswd as a normal user just type :

$ smbpasswd

Old SMB password: <type old value here - - or hit return if there was no old password>

New SMB Password: <type new value> -

Repeat New SMB Password: <re-type new value -

If the old value does not match the current value stored for - that user, or the two new values do not match each other, then the - password will not be changed.

If invoked by an ordinary user it will only allow the user - to change his or her own Samba password.

If run by the root user smbpasswd may take an optional - argument, specifying the user name whose SMB password you wish to - change. Note that when run as root smbpasswd does not prompt for - or check the old password value, thus allowing root to set passwords - for users who have forgotten their passwords.

smbpasswd is designed to work in the same way - and be familiar to UNIX users who use the passwd or - yppasswd commands.

For more details on using smbpasswd refer - to the man page which will always be the definitive reference.

-Storing Samba's User/Machine Account information in an LDAP Directory
SAMBA Project Documentation

Chapter 17. Storing Samba's User/Machine Account information in an LDAP Directory

17.1. Purpose

This document describes how to use an LDAP directory for storing Samba user -account information traditionally stored in the smbpasswd(5) file. It is -assumed that the reader already has a basic understanding of LDAP concepts -and has a working directory server already installed. For more information -on LDAP architectures and Directories, please refer to the following sites.

Note that O'Reilly Publishing is working on -a guide to LDAP for System Administrators which has a planned release date of -early summer, 2002.

Two additional Samba resources which may prove to be helpful are

  • The Samba-PDC-LDAP-HOWTO - maintained by Ignacio Coupeau.

  • The NT migration scripts from IDEALX that are - geared to manage users and group in such a Samba-LDAP Domain Controller configuration. -

17.2. Introduction

Traditionally, when configuring "encrypt -passwords = yes" in Samba's smb.conf file, user account -information such as username, LM/NT password hashes, password change times, and account -flags have been stored in the smbpasswd(5) file. There are several -disadvantages to this approach for sites with very large numbers of users (counted -in the thousands).

  • The first is that all lookups must be performed sequentially. Given that -there are approximately two lookups per domain logon (one for a normal -session connection such as when mapping a network drive or printer), this -is a performance bottleneck for lareg sites. What is needed is an indexed approach -such as is used in databases.

  • The second problem is that administrators who desired to replicate a -smbpasswd file to more than one Samba server were left to use external -tools such as rsync(1) and ssh(1) -and wrote custom, in-house scripts.

  • And finally, the amount of information which is stored in an -smbpasswd entry leaves no room for additional attributes such as -a home directory, password expiration time, or even a Relative -Identified (RID).

As a result of these defeciencies, a more robust means of storing user attributes -used by smbd was developed. The API which defines access to user accounts -is commonly referred to as the samdb interface (previously this was called the passdb -API, and is still so named in the CVS trees). In Samba 2.2.3, enabling support -for a samdb backend (e.g. --with-ldapsam or ---with-tdbsam) requires compile time support.

When compiling Samba to include the --with-ldapsam autoconf -option, smbd (and associated tools) will store and lookup user accounts in -an LDAP directory. In reality, this is very easy to understand. If you are -comfortable with using an smbpasswd file, simply replace "smbpasswd" with -"LDAP directory" in all the documentation.

There are a few points to stress about what the --with-ldapsam -does not provide. The LDAP support referred to in the this documentation does not -include:

  • A means of retrieving user account information from - an Windows 2000 Active Directory server.

  • A means of replacing /etc/passwd.

The second item can be accomplished by using LDAP NSS and PAM modules. LGPL -versions of these libraries can be obtained from PADL Software -(http://www.padl.com/). However, -the details of configuring these packages are beyond the scope of this document.

17.3. Supported LDAP Servers

The LDAP samdb code in 2.2.3 has been developed and tested using the OpenLDAP -2.0 server and client libraries. The same code should be able to work with -Netscape's Directory Server and client SDK. However, due to lack of testing -so far, there are bound to be compile errors and bugs. These should not be -hard to fix. If you are so inclined, please be sure to forward all patches to -samba-patches@samba.org and -jerry@samba.org.

17.4. Schema and Relationship to the RFC 2307 posixAccount

Samba 2.2.3 includes the necessary schema file for OpenLDAP 2.0 in -examples/LDAP/samba.schema. (Note that this schema -file has been modified since the experimental support initially included -in 2.2.2). The sambaAccount objectclass is given here:

objectclass ( 1.3.1.5.1.4.1.7165.2.2.2 NAME 'sambaAccount' SUP top STRUCTURAL
-     DESC 'Samba Account'
-     MUST ( uid $ rid )
-     MAY  ( cn $ lmPassword $ ntPassword $ pwdLastSet $ logonTime $
-            logoffTime $ kickoffTime $ pwdCanChange $ pwdMustChange $ acctFlags $
-            displayName $ smbHome $ homeDrive $ scriptPath $ profilePath $
-            description $ userWorkstations $ primaryGroupID $ domain ))

The samba.schema file has been formatted for OpenLDAP 2.0. The OID's are -owned by the Samba Team and as such is legal to be openly published. -If you translate the schema to be used with Netscape DS, please -submit the modified schema file as a patch to jerry@samba.org

Just as the smbpasswd file is mean to store information which supplements a -user's /etc/passwd entry, so is the sambaAccount object -meant to supplement the UNIX user account information. A sambaAccount is a -STRUCTURAL objectclass so it can be stored individually -in the directory. However, there are several fields (e.g. uid) which overlap -with the posixAccount objectclass outlined in RFC2307. This is by design.

In order to store all user account information (UNIX and Samba) in the directory, -it is necessary to use the sambaAccount and posixAccount objectclasses in -combination. However, smbd will still obtain the user's UNIX account -information via the standard C library calls (e.g. getpwnam(), et. al.). -This means that the Samba server must also have the LDAP NSS library installed -and functioning correctly. This division of information makes it possible to -store all Samba account information in LDAP, but still maintain UNIX account -information in NIS while the network is transitioning to a full LDAP infrastructure.

17.5. Configuring Samba with LDAP

17.5.1. OpenLDAP configuration

To include support for the sambaAccount object in an OpenLDAP directory -server, first copy the samba.schema file to slapd's configuration directory.

root# cp samba.schema /etc/openldap/schema/

Next, include the samba.schema file in slapd.conf. -The sambaAccount object contains two attributes which depend upon other schema -files. The 'uid' attribute is defined in cosine.schema and -the 'displayName' attribute is defined in the inetorgperson.schema -file. Both of these must be included before the samba.schema file.

## /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
-
-## schema files (core.schema is required by default)
-include	           /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
-
-## needed for sambaAccount
-include            /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
-include            /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
-include            /etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema
-
-## uncomment this line if you want to support the RFC2307 (NIS) schema
-## include         /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema
-
-....

It is recommended that you maintain some indices on some of the most usefull attributes, -like in the following example, to speed up searches made on sambaAccount objectclasses -(and possibly posixAccount and posixGroup as well).

# Indices to maintain
-## required by OpenLDAP 2.0
-index objectclass   eq
-
-## support pb_getsampwnam()
-index uid           pres,eq
-## support pdb_getsambapwrid()
-index rid           eq
-
-## uncomment these if you are storing posixAccount and

17.5.2. Configuring Samba

The following parameters are available in smb.conf only with --with-ldapsam -was included with compiling Samba.

These are described in the smb.conf(5) man -page and so will not be repeated here. However, a sample smb.conf file for -use with an LDAP directory could appear as

## /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
-[global]
-     security = user
-     encrypt passwords = yes
-
-     netbios name = TASHTEGO
-     workgroup = NARNIA
-
-     # ldap related parameters
-
-     # define the DN to use when binding to the directory servers
-     # The password for this DN is not stored in smb.conf.  Rather it
-     # must be set by using 'smbpasswd -w secretpw' to store the
-     # passphrase in the secrets.tdb file.  If the "ldap admin dn" values
-     # changes, this password will need to be reset.
-     ldap admin dn = "cn=Samba Manager,ou=people,dc=samba,dc=org"
-
-     #  specify the LDAP server's hostname (defaults to locahost)
-     ldap server = ahab.samba.org
-
-     # Define the SSL option when connecting to the directory
-     # ('off', 'start tls', or 'on' (default))
-     ldap ssl = start tls
-
-     # define the port to use in the LDAP session (defaults to 636 when
-     # "ldap ssl = on")
-     ldap port = 389
-
-     # specify the base DN to use when searching the directory
-     ldap suffix = "ou=people,dc=samba,dc=org"
-
-     # generally the default ldap search filter is ok
-     # ldap filter = "(&(uid=%u)(objectclass=sambaAccount))"

17.6. Accounts and Groups management

As users accounts are managed thru the sambaAccount objectclass, you should -modify you existing administration tools to deal with sambaAccount attributes.

Machines accounts are managed with the sambaAccount objectclass, just -like users accounts. However, it's up to you to stored thoses accounts -in a different tree of you LDAP namespace: you should use -"ou=Groups,dc=plainjoe,dc=org" to store groups and -"ou=People,dc=plainjoe,dc=org" to store users. Just configure your -NSS and PAM accordingly (usually, in the /etc/ldap.conf configuration -file).

In Samba release 2.2.3, the group management system is based on posix -groups. This meand that Samba make usage of the posixGroup objectclass. -For now, there is no NT-like group system management (global and local -groups).

17.7. Security and sambaAccount

There are two important points to remember when discussing the security -of sambaAccount entries in the directory.

  • Never retrieve the lmPassword or - ntPassword attribute values over an unencrypted LDAP session.

  • Never allow non-admin users to - view the lmPassword or ntPassword attribute values.

These password hashes are clear text equivalents and can be used to impersonate -the user without deriving the original clear text strings. For more information -on the details of LM/NT password hashes, refer to the ENCRYPTION chapter of the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.

To remedy the first security issue, the "ldap ssl" smb.conf parameter defaults -to require an encrypted session (ldap ssl = on) using -the default port of 636 -when contacting the directory server. When using an OpenLDAP 2.0 server, it -is possible to use the use the StartTLS LDAP extended operation in the place of -LDAPS. In either case, you are strongly discouraged to disable this security -(ldap ssl = off).

Note that the LDAPS protocol is deprecated in favor of the LDAPv3 StartTLS -extended operation. However, the OpenLDAP library still provides support for -the older method of securing communication between clients and servers.

The second security precaution is to prevent non-administrative users from -harvesting password hashes from the directory. This can be done using the -following ACL in slapd.conf:

## allow the "ldap admin dn" access, but deny everyone else
-access to attrs=lmPassword,ntPassword
-     by dn="cn=Samba Admin,ou=people,dc=plainjoe,dc=org" write
-     by * none

17.8. LDAP specials attributes for sambaAccounts

The sambaAccount objectclass is composed of the following attributes:

  • lmPassword: the LANMAN password 16-byte hash stored as a character - representation of a hexidecimal string.

  • ntPassword: the NT password hash 16-byte stored as a character - representation of a hexidecimal string.

  • pwdLastSet: The integer time in seconds since 1970 when the - lmPassword and ntPassword attributes were last set. -

  • acctFlags: string of 11 characters surrounded by square brackets [] - representing account flags such as U (user), W(workstation), X(no password expiration), and - D(disabled).

  • logonTime: Integer value currently unused

  • logoffTime: Integer value currently unused

  • kickoffTime: Integer value currently unused

  • pwdCanChange: Integer value currently unused

  • pwdMustChange: Integer value currently unused

  • homeDrive: specifies the drive letter to which to map the - UNC path specified by homeDirectory. The drive letter must be specified in the form "X:" - where X is the letter of the drive to map. Refer to the "logon drive" parameter in the - smb.conf(5) man page for more information.

  • scriptPath: The scriptPath property specifies the path of - the user's logon script, .CMD, .EXE, or .BAT file. The string can be null. The path - is relative to the netlogon share. Refer to the "logon script" parameter in the - smb.conf(5) man page for more information.

  • profilePath: specifies a path to the user's profile. - This value can be a null string, a local absolute path, or a UNC path. Refer to the - "logon path" parameter in the smb.conf(5) man page for more information.

  • smbHome: The homeDirectory property specifies the path of - the home directory for the user. The string can be null. If homeDrive is set and specifies - a drive letter, homeDirectory should be a UNC path. The path must be a network - UNC path of the form \\server\share\directory. This value can be a null string. - Refer to the "logon home" parameter in the smb.conf(5) man page for more information. -

  • userWorkstation: character string value currently unused. -

  • rid: the integer representation of the user's relative identifier - (RID).

  • primaryGroupID: the relative identifier (RID) of the primary group - of the user.

The majority of these parameters are only used when Samba is acting as a PDC of -a domain (refer to the Samba-PDC-HOWTO for details on -how to configure Samba as a Primary Domain Controller). The following four attributes -are only stored with the sambaAccount entry if the values are non-default values:

  • smbHome

  • scriptPath

  • logonPath

  • homeDrive

These attributes are only stored with the sambaAccount entry if -the values are non-default values. For example, assume TASHTEGO has now been -configured as a PDC and that logon home = \\%L\%u was defined in -its smb.conf file. When a user named "becky" logons to the domain, -the logon home string is expanded to \\TASHTEGO\becky. -If the smbHome attribute exists in the entry "uid=becky,ou=people,dc=samba,dc=org", -this value is used. However, if this attribute does not exist, then the value -of the logon home parameter is used in its place. Samba -will only write the attribute value to the directory entry is the value is -something other than the default (e.g. \\MOBY\becky).

17.9. Example LDIF Entries for a sambaAccount

The following is a working LDIF with the inclusion of the posixAccount objectclass:

dn: uid=guest2, ou=people,dc=plainjoe,dc=org

    SAMBA Project Documentation
    PrevNext

    Chapter 20. Securing Samba

    20.1. Introduction

    This note was attached to the Samba 2.2.8 release notes as it contained an +important security fix. The information contained here applies to Samba +installations in general.

    20.2. Using host based protection

    In many installations of Samba the greatest threat comes for outside +your immediate network. By default Samba will accept connections from +any host, which means that if you run an insecure version of Samba on +a host that is directly connected to the Internet you can be +especially vulnerable.

    One of the simplest fixes in this case is to use the 'hosts allow' and +'hosts deny' options in the Samba smb.conf configuration file to only +allow access to your server from a specific range of hosts. An example +might be:

      hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.3.0/24
+  hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0

    The above will only allow SMB connections from 'localhost' (your own +computer) and from the two private networks 192.168.2 and +192.168.3. All other connections will be refused connections as soon +as the client sends its first packet. The refusal will be marked as a +'not listening on called name' error.

    20.3. Using interface protection

    By default Samba will accept connections on any network interface that +it finds on your system. That means if you have a ISDN line or a PPP +connection to the Internet then Samba will accept connections on those +links. This may not be what you want.

    You can change this behaviour using options like the following:

      interfaces = eth* lo
+  bind interfaces only = yes

    This tells Samba to only listen for connections on interfaces with a +name starting with 'eth' such as eth0, eth1, plus on the loopback +interface called 'lo'. The name you will need to use depends on what +OS you are using, in the above I used the common name for Ethernet +adapters on Linux.

    If you use the above and someone tries to make a SMB connection to +your host over a PPP interface called 'ppp0' then they will get a TCP +connection refused reply. In that case no Samba code is run at all as +the operating system has been told not to pass connections from that +interface to any process.

    20.4. Using a firewall

    Many people use a firewall to deny access to services that they don't +want exposed outside their network. This can be a very good idea, +although I would recommend using it in conjunction with the above +methods so that you are protected even if your firewall is not active +for some reason.

    If you are setting up a firewall then you need to know what TCP and +UDP ports to allow and block. Samba uses the following:

    UDP/137    - used by nmbd
+UDP/138    - used by nmbd
+TCP/139    - used by smbd
+TCP/445    - used by smbd

    The last one is important as many older firewall setups may not be +aware of it, given that this port was only added to the protocol in +recent years.

    20.5. Using a IPC$ share deny

    If the above methods are not suitable, then you could also place a +more specific deny on the IPC$ share that is used in the recently +discovered security hole. This allows you to offer access to other +shares while denying access to IPC$ from potentially untrustworthy +hosts.

    To do that you could use:

      [ipc$]
+     hosts allow = 192.168.115.0/24 127.0.0.1
+     hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0

    this would tell Samba that IPC$ connections are not allowed from +anywhere but the two listed places (localhost and a local +subnet). Connections to other shares would still be allowed. As the +IPC$ share is the only share that is always accessible anonymously +this provides some level of protection against attackers that do not +know a username/password for your host.

    If you use this method then clients will be given a 'access denied' +reply when they try to access the IPC$ share. That means that those +clients will not be able to browse shares, and may also be unable to +access some other resources.

    This is not recommended unless you cannot use one of the other +methods listed above for some reason.

    20.6. Upgrading Samba

    Please check regularly on http://www.samba.org/ for updates and +important announcements. Occasionally security releases are made and +it is highly recommended to upgrade Samba when a security vulnerability +is discovered.
