<title>Fast Start: Cure for Impatience</title>

<para>
When we first asked for suggestions for inclusion in the Samba HOWTO documentation,
someone wrote asking for example configurations &smbmdash; and lots of them. That is remarkably
difficult to do, without losing a lot of value that can be derived from presenting
many extracts from working systems. That is what the rest of this document does.
It does so with extensive descriptions of the configuration possibilities within the
context of the chapter that covers it. We hope that this chapter is the medicine 
that has been requested.
</para>

<sect1>
<title>Features and Benefits</title>

<para>
Samba needs very little configuration to create a basic working system.
In this chapter we progress from the simple to the complex, for each providing
all steps and configuration file changes needed to make each work. Please note
that a comprehensively configured system will likely employ additional smart
features. The additional features are covered in the remainder of this document.
</para>

<para>
The examples used here have been obtained from a number of people who made
requests for example configurations. All identities have been obscured to protect
the guilty and any resemblance to unreal non-existent sites is deliberate.
</para>

</sect1>

<sect1>
<title>Description of Example Sites</title>

<para>
In the first set of configuration examples we consider the case of exceptionally simple
system requirements. There is a real temptation to make something that should require
little effort much too complex.
</para>

<para>
<link linkend="anon-ro"></link> documents the type of server that might be sufficient to serve CD-ROM
images, or reference document files for network client use. This configuration is also discussed in 
<link linkend="StandAloneServer"></link>, <link linkend="RefDocServer"></link>.
The purpose for this configuration is to provide a shared volume that is read-only that anyone, even guests, can access.
</para>

<para>
The second example shows a minimal configuration for a print server that anyone can print
to as long as they have the correct printer drivers installed on their computer. This is a
mirror of the system described in <link linkend="StandAloneServer"></link>, <link linkend="SimplePrintServer"></link>.
</para>

<para>
The next example is of a secure office file and print server that will be accessible only
to users who have an account on the system. This server is meant to closely resemble a
Workgroup file and print server, but has to be more secure than an anonymous access machine.
This type of system will typically suit the needs of a small office. The server does not
provide network logon facilities, offers no Domain Control, instead it is just a network
attached storage (NAS) device and a print server.
</para>

<para>
Finally, we start looking at more complex systems that will either integrate into existing
Microsoft Windows networks, or replace them entirely. The examples provided cover domain
member servers as well as Samba Domain Control (PDC/BDC) and finally describes in detail
a large distributed network with branch offices in remote locations.
</para>

</sect1>

<sect1>
<title>Worked Examples</title>

<para>
The configuration examples are designed to cover everything necessary to get Samba 
running. They do not cover basic operating system platform configuration, which is
clearly beyond the scope of this text.
</para>

<para>
It is also assumed that Samba has been correctly installed, either by way of installation
of the packages that are provided by the operating system vendor, or through other means.
</para>

	<sect2>
	<title>Stand-alone Server</title>

	<para>
	<indexterm><primary>Server Type</primary><secondary>Stand-alone</secondary></indexterm>
	A Stand-alone Server implies no more than the fact that it is not a Domain Controller
	and it does not participate in Domain Control. It can be a simple workgroup-like
	server, or it may be a complex server that is a member of a domain security context.
	</para>

		<sect3 id="anon-ro">
		<title>Anonymous Read-Only Document Server</title>

		<para>
		<indexterm><primary>read only</primary><secondary>server</secondary></indexterm>
		The purpose of this type of server is to make available to any user
		any documents or files that are placed on the shared resource. The
		shared resource could be a CD-ROM drive, a CD-ROM image, or a file
		storage area.
		</para>

		<para>
		As the examples are developed, every attempt is made to progress the
		system toward greater capability, just as one might expect would happen
		in a real business office as that office grows in size and its needs
		change.
		</para>

		We should view this configuration as a progression from the previous example.
		The difference is that shared access is now forced to the user identity of jackb
		and to the primary group jackb belongs to. One other refinement we can make is to
		add the user <emphasis>jackb</emphasis> to the <filename>smbpasswd</filename> file.
		To do this execute:
<screen>
&rootprompt;<userinput>smbpasswd -a jackb</userinput>
New SMB password: <userinput>m0r3pa1n</userinput>
Retype new SMB password: <userinput>m0r3pa1n</userinput>
Added user jackb.
</screen>
		Addition of this user to the <filename>smbpasswd</filename> file allows all files
		to be displayed in the Explorer Properties boxes as belonging to <emphasis>jackb</emphasis>
		instead of to <emphasis>User Unknown</emphasis>.

		An anonymous print server serves two purposes:
		</para>

		<itemizedlist>
			<listitem><para>
			It allows printing to all printers from a single location.
			</para></listitem>

			<listitem><para>
			It reduces network traffic congestion due to many users trying
			to access a limited number of printers.
			</para></listitem>
		</itemizedlist>

		<para>
		In the simplest of anonymous print servers, it is common to require the installation
		of the correct printer drivers on the Windows workstation. In this case the print
		server will be designed to just pass print jobs through to the spooler, and the spooler
		should be configured to do raw pass-through to the printer. In other words, the print
		spooler should not filter or process the data stream being passed to the printer.
		</para>

		<para>
		In this configuration it is undesirable to present the Add Printer Wizard and we do
		not want to have automatic driver download, so we will disable it in the following
		configuration. <link linkend="anon-print"></link> is the resulting &smb.conf; file.

		The above configuration is not ideal. It uses no smart features, and it deliberately
		presents a less than elegant solution. But it is basic, and it does print.
		</para>

		<note><para>
		Windows users will need to install a local printer and then change the print

		Make sure that the directory <filename>/var/spool/samba</filename> is capable of being used

		</para>

		<itemizedlist>

<screen>
&rootprompt;<userinput>chown root.root /var/spool/samba</userinput>

		<indexterm><primary>raw printing</primary></indexterm>
		On CUPS enabled systems there is a facility to pass raw data directly to the printer without
		intermediate processing via CUPS print filters. Where use of this mode of operation is desired
		it is necessary to configure a raw printing device. It is also necessary to enable the raw mime
		handler in the <filename>/etc/mime.conv</filename> and <filename>/etc/mime.types</filename>
		files. Refer to <link linkend="cups-raw"></link>.
		</para></note>

		<sect3>

		<title>Secure Read-Write File and Print Server</title>

		<para>
		We progress now from simple systems to a server that is slightly more complex.
		</para>

		<para>
		Our new server will require a public data storage area in which only authenticated
		users (i.e., those with a local account) can store files, as well as a home directory.
		There will be one printer that should be available for everyone to use.
		</para>

		<para>
		In this hypothetical environment (no espionage was conducted to obtain this data),
		the site is demanding a simple environment that is <emphasis>secure enough</emphasis>
		but not too difficult to use. 
		</para>

		<para>
		Site users will be: Jack Baumbach, Mary Orville and Amed Sehkah. Each will have
		a password (not shown in further examples). Mary will be the printer administrator and will
		own all files in the public share.
		</para>

		<para>
		This configuration will be based on <emphasis>User Level Security</emphasis> that
		is the default, and for which the default is to store Microsoft Windows-compatible
		encrypted passwords in a file called <filename>/etc/samba/smbpasswd</filename>.
		The default &smb.conf; entry that makes this happen is:
		<smbconfoption name="passdb backend">smbpasswd, guest</smbconfoption>. Since this is the default
		it is not necessary to enter it into the configuration file. Note that guest backend is
		added to the list of active passdb backends not matter was it specified directly in Samba configuration
		file or not.

	<title>Domain Member Server</title>


	<para>
	<indexterm><primary>Server Type</primary><secondary>Domain Member</secondary></indexterm>
	In this instance we will consider the simplest server configuration we can get away with
	to make an accounting department happy. Let's be warned, the users are accountants and they
	do have some nasty demands. There is a budget for only one server for this department.
	</para>

	<para>
	The network is managed by an internal Information Services Group (ISG), to which we belong.
	Internal politics are typical of a medium-sized organization; Human Resources is of the
	opinion that they run the ISG because they are always adding and disabling users. Also,
	departmental managers have to fight tooth and nail to gain basic network resources access for
	their staff. Accounting is different though, they get exactly what they want. So this should
	set the scene.
	</para>

	<para>
	We will use the users from the last example. The accounting department
	has a general printer that all departmental users may. There is also a check printer
	that may be used only by the person who has authority to print checks. The Chief Financial
	Officer (CFO) wants that printer to be completely restricted and for it to be located in the
	private storage area in her office. It therefore must be a network printer.
	</para>

	<para>
	Accounting department uses an accounting application called <emphasis>SpytFull</emphasis>
	that must be run from a central application server. The software is licensed to run only off
	one server, there are no workstation components, and it is run off a mapped share. The data
	store is in a UNIX-based SQL backend. The UNIX gurus look after that, so is not our
	problem.
	</para>

	<para>
	The accounting department manager (maryo) wants a general filing system as well as a separate
	file storage area for form letters (nastygrams). The form letter area should be read-only to
	all accounting staff except the manager. The general filing system has to have a structured
	layout with a general area for all staff to store general documents, as well as a separate
	file area for each member of her team that is private to that person, but she wants full
	access to all areas. Users must have a private home share for personal work-related files
	and for materials not related to departmental operations.
	</para>

	<title>Domain Controller</title>


	<para>
	<indexterm><primary>Server Type</primary><secondary>Domain Controller</secondary></indexterm>
	For the remainder of this chapter the focus is on the configuration of Domain Control.
	The examples that follow are for two implementation strategies. Remember, our objective is
	to create a simple but working solution. The remainder of this book should help to highlight
	opportunity for greater functionality and the complexity that goes with it.
	</para>

	<para>
	A Domain Controller configuration can be achieved with a simple configuration using the new
	tdbsam password backend. This type of configuration is good for small
	offices, but has limited scalability (cannot be replicated) and performance can be expected
	to fall as the size and complexity of the domain increases.
	</para>

	<para>
	The use of tdbsam is best limited to sites that do not need
	more than a primary Domain Controller (PDC). As the size of a domain grows the need
	for additional Domain Controllers becomes apparent. Do not attempt to under-resource
	a Microsoft Windows network environment; Domain Controllers provide essential
	authentication services. The following are symptoms of an under-resourced Domain Control
	environment:
	</para>

	<itemizedlist>	
		<listitem><para>
		 Domain logons intermittently fail.
		</para></listitem>

		<listitem><para>
		File access on a Domain Member server intermittently fails, giving a permission denied
		error message.
		</para></listitem>
	</itemizedlist>

	<para>
	A more scalable Domain Control authentication backend option might use
	Microsoft Active Directory, or an LDAP-based backend. Samba-3 provides
	for both options as a Domain Member server. As a PDC Samba-3 is not able to provide
	an exact alternative to the functionality that is available with Active Directory.
	Samba-3 can provide a scalable LDAP-based PDC/BDC solution.
	</para>

	<para>
	The tdbsam authentication backend provides no facility to replicate
	the contents of the database, except by external means. (i.e., there is no self-contained protocol
	in Samba-3 for Security Account Manager database [SAM] replication.)
	</para>

	<note><para>
	If you need more than one Domain Controller, do not use a tdbsam authentication backend.
	</para></note>

		<title>Example: Engineering Office</title>

		<para>
		The engineering office network server we present here is designed to demonstrate use
		of the new tdbsam password backend. The tdbsam
		facility is new to Samba-3. It is designed to provide many user and machine account controls
		that are possible with Microsoft Windows NT4. It is safe to use this in smaller networks.
