	<title>OPTIONS</title>

	<variablelist>
		<varlistentry>
		<term>-D|--daemon</term>
		<listitem><para>If specified, this parameter causes
		the server to operate as a daemon. That is, it detaches
		itself and runs in the background, fielding requests
		on the appropriate ports. Operating the server as a
		daemon is the recommended way of running
		<command>samba</command> for servers that provide more
		than casual use file and print services.  This switch is
		assumed if <command>samba</command> is executed on the
		command line of a shell.
		</para></listitem>
		</varlistentry>

		<varlistentry>
		<term>-i|--interactive</term>
		<listitem><para>If this parameter is specified it causes the
		server to run "interactively", not as a daemon, even if the
		server is executed on the command line of a shell. Setting this
		parameter negates the implicit daemon mode when run from the
		command line.
