This book is a collection of HOWTOs added to Samba documentation over the years.
Samba is always under development, and so is its' documentation. This release of the
documentation represents a major revision or layout as well as contents.
The most recent version of this document can be found at
http://www.samba.org/
on the "Documentation" page. Please send updates to
Jelmer Venrooij,
John Terpstra or
Gerald (Jerry) Carter.
The Samba-Team would like to express sincere thanks to the many people who have with
or without their knowledge contributed to this update. The size and scope of this
project would not have been possible without significant community contribution. A not
insignificant number of ideas for inclusion (if not content itself) has been obtained
from a number of Unofficial HOWTOs - to each such author a big "Thank-you" is also offered.
Please keep publishing your Unofficial HOWTO's - they are a source of inspiration and
application knowledge that is most to be desired by many Samba users and administrators.

Samba is a file and print server for Windows-based clients using TCP/IP as the underlying
transport protocol. In fact, it can support any SMB/CIFS-enabled client. One of Samba's big
strengths is that you can use it to blend your mix of Windows and Linux machines together
without requiring a separate Windows NT/2000/2003 Server. Samba is actively being developed
by a global team of about 30 active programmers and was originally developed by Andrew Tridgell.
</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2794048"></a>Background</h2></div></div><p>
Once long ago, there was a buzzword referred to as DCE/RPC. This stood for Distributed
Computing Environment/Remote Procedure Calls and conceptually was a good idea. It was
originally developed by Apollo/HP as NCA 1.0 (Network Computing Architecture) and only
ran over UDP. When there was a need to run it over TCP so that it would be compatible
with DECnet 3.0, it was redesigned, submitted to The Open Group, and officially became
known as DCE/RPC. Microsoft came along and decided, rather than pay $20 per seat to
license this technology, to reimplement DCE/RPC themselves as MSRPC. From this, the
concept continued in the form of SMB (Server Message Block, or the "what") using the
NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System, or the "how") compatibility layer. You can
run SMB (i.e., transport) over several different protocols; many different implementations
arose as a result, including NBIPX (NetBIOS over IPX, NwLnkNb, or NWNBLink) and NBT
(NetBIOS over TCP/IP, or NetBT). As the years passed, NBT became the most common form
of implementation until the advance of "Direct-Hosted TCP" -- the Microsoft marketing
term for eliminating NetBIOS entirely and running SMB by itself across TCP port 445
only. As of yet, direct-hosted TCP has yet to catch on.
</p><p>
Perhaps the best summary of the origins of SMB are voiced in the 1997 article titled, CIFS:
Common Insecurities Fail Scrutiny:
</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>
Several megabytes of NT-security archives, random whitepapers, RFCs, the CIFS spec, the Samba
stuff, a few MS knowledge-base articles, strings extracted from binaries, and packet dumps have
been dutifully waded through during the information-gathering stages of this project, and there
are *still* many missing pieces... While often tedious, at least the way has been generously
littered with occurrences of clapping hand to forehead and muttering 'crikey, what are they
thinking?
</em></span></p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2794106"></a>Terminology</h2></div></div><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
SMB: Acronym for "Server Message Block". This is Microsoft's file and printer sharing protocol.
</p></li><li><p>
CIFS: Acronym for "Common Internet File System". Around 1996, Microsoft apparently
decided that SMB needed the word "Internet" in it, so they changed it to CIFS.
</p></li><li><p>
Direct-Hosted: A method of providing file/printer sharing services over port 445/tcp
only using DNS for name resolution instead of WINS.
</p></li><li><p>
IPC: Acronym for "Inter-Process Communication". A method to communicate specific
information between programs.
</p></li><li><p>
Marshalling: - A method of serializing (i.e., sequential ordering of) variable data
suitable for transmission via a network connection or storing in a file. The source
data can be re-created using a similar process called unmarshalling.
</p></li><li><p>
NetBIOS: Acronym for "Network Basic Input/Output System". This is not a protocol;
it is a method of communication across an existing protocol. This is a standard which
was originally developed for IBM by Sytek in 1983. To exaggerate the analogy a bit,
it can help to think of this in comparison your computer's BIOS -- it controls the
essential functions of your input/output hardware -- whereas NetBIOS controls the
essential functions of your input/output traffic via the network. Again, this is a bit
of an exaggeration but it should help that paradigm shift. What is important to realize
is that NetBIOS is a transport standard, not a protocol. Unfortunately, even technically
brilliant people tend to interchange NetBIOS with terms like NetBEUI without a second
thought; this will cause no end (and no doubt) of confusion.
</p></li><li><p>
NetBEUI: Acronym for the "NetBIOS Extended User Interface". Unlike NetBIOS, NetBEUI
is a protocol, not a standard. It is also not routable, so traffic on one side of a
router will be unable to communicate with the other side. Understanding NetBEUI is
not essential to deciphering SMB; however it helps to point out that it is not the
same as NetBIOS and to improve your score in trivia at parties. NetBEUI was originally
referred to by Microsoft as "NBF", or "The Windows NT NetBEUI Frame protocol driver".
It is not often heard from these days.
</p></li><li><p>
NBT: Acronym for "NetBIOS over TCP"; also known as "NetBT". Allows the continued use
of NetBIOS traffic proxied over TCP/IP. As a result, NetBIOS names are made
to IP addresses and NetBIOS name types are conceptually equivalent to TCP/IP ports.
This is how file and printer sharing are accomplished in Windows 95/98/ME. They
traditionally rely on three ports: NetBIOS Name Service (nbname) via UDP port 137,
NetBIOS Datagram Service (nbdatagram) via UDP port 138, and NetBIOS Session Service
(nbsession) via TCP port 139. All name resolution is done via WINS, NetBIOS broadcasts,
and DNS. NetBIOS over TCP is documented in RFC 1001 (Concepts and methods) and RFC 1002
(Detailed specifications).

There are currently two network filesystem client projects for Linux that are directly
related to Samba: SMBFS and CIFS VFS. These are both available in the Linux kernel itself.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
SMBFS (Server Message Block File System) allows you to mount SMB shares (the protocol
that Microsoft Windows and OS/2 Lan Manager use to share files and printers
over local networks) and access them just like any other Unix directory. This is useful
if you just want to mount such filesystems without being a SMBFS server.
</p></li><li><p>
CIFS VFS (Common Internet File System Virtual File System) is the successor to SMBFS, and
is being actively developed for the upcoming version of the Linux kernel. The intent of this module
is to provide advanced network file system functionality including support for dfs (heirarchical
name space), secure per-user session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock),
optional packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements, and optional
Winbind (nsswitch) integration.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
Again, it's important to note that these are implementations for client filesystems, and have
nothing to do with acting as a file and print server for SMB/CIFS clients.
</p><p>
There are other Open Source CIFS client implementations, such as the jCIFS project
(jcifs.samba.org) which provides an SMB client toolkit written in Java.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2845311"></a>SMB Methodology</h2></div></div><p>
Traditionally, SMB uses UDP port 137 (NetBIOS name service, or netbios-ns),
UDP port 138 (NetBIOS datagram service, or netbios-dgm), and TCP port 139 (NetBIOS
session service, or netbios-ssn). Anyone looking at their network with a good
packet sniffer will be amazed at the amount of traffic generated by just opening
up a single file. In general, SMB sessions are established in the following order:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
"TCP Connection" - establish 3-way handshake (connection) to port 139/tcp
or 445/tcp.
</p></li><li><p>
"NetBIOS Session Request" - using the following "Calling Names": The local
machine's NetBIOS name plus the 16th character 0x00; The server's NetBIOS
name plus the 16th character 0x20
</p></li><li><p>
"SMB Negotiate Protocol" - determine the protocol dialect to use, which will
be one of the following: PC Network Program 1.0 (Core) - share level security
mode only; Microsoft Networks 1.03 (Core Plus) - share level security
mode only; Lanman1.0 (LAN Manager 1.0) - uses Challenge/Response
Authentication; Lanman2.1 (LAN Manager 2.1) - uses Challenge/Response
Authentication; NT LM 0.12 (NT LM 0.12) - uses Challenge/Response
Authentication
</p></li><li><p>
SMB Session Startup. Passwords are encrypted (or not) according to one of
the following methods: Null (no encryption); Cleartext (no encryption); LM
and NTLM; NTLM; NTLMv2
</p></li><li><p>
SMB Tree Connect: Connect to a share name (e.g., \\servername\share); Connect
to a service type (e.g., IPC$ named pipe)
</p></li></ul></div><p>
A good way to examine this process in depth is to try out SecurityFriday's SWB program
at http://www.securityfriday.com/ToolDownload/SWB/swb_doc.html. It allows you to
walk through the establishment of a SMB/CIFS session step by step.

"What's fundamentally wrong is that nobody ever had any taste when they
did it. Microsoft has been very much into making the user interface look good,
but internally it's just a complete mess. And even people who program for Microsoft
and who have had years of experience, just don't know how it works internally.
Worse, nobody dares change it. Nobody dares to fix bugs because it's such a
mess that fixing one bug might just break a hundred programs that depend on
that bug. And Microsoft isn't interested in anyone fixing bugs -- they're interested
in making money. They don't have anybody who takes pride in Windows 95 as an
operating system.
</em></span></p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>
People inside Microsoft know it's a bad operating system and they still
continue obviously working on it because they want to get the next version out
because they want to have all these new features to sell more copies of the
system.
</em></span></p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>
The problem with that is that over time, when you have this kind of approach,
and because nobody understands it, because nobody REALLY fixes bugs (other than
when they're really obvious), the end result is really messy. You can't trust
it because under certain circumstances it just spontaneously reboots or just
halts in the middle of something that shouldn't be strange. Normally it works
fine and then once in a blue moon for some completely unknown reason, it's dead,
and nobody knows why. Not Microsoft, not the experienced user and certainly
not the completely clueless user who probably sits there shivering thinking
"What did I do wrong?" when they didn't do anything wrong at all.

wishes to migrate to or use Samba will want to know what these terms mean
within a Samba context.</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2845139"></a>Stand Alone Server</h2></div></div><p>
The term <span class="emphasis"><em>stand alone server</em></span> means that the server
will provide local authentication and access control for all resources
that are available from it. In general this means that there will be a
local user database. In more technical terms, it means that resources
on the machine will either be made available in either SHARE mode or in
USER mode. SHARE mode and USER mode security are documented under
discussions regarding "security mode". The smb.conf configuration parameters
that control security mode are: "security = user" and "security = share".
</p><p>
No special action is needed other than to create user accounts. Stand-alone
servers do NOT provide network logon services, meaning that machines that
use this server do NOT perform a domain logon but instead make use only of
the MS Windows logon which is local to the MS Windows workstation/server.
</p><p>
Samba tends to blur the distinction a little in respect of what is
a stand alone server. This is because the authentication database may be
local or on a remote server, even if from the samba protocol perspective
the samba server is NOT a member of a domain security context.
</p><p>
Through the use of PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) and nsswitch
(the name service switcher) the source of authentication may reside on
another server. We would be inclined to call this the authentication server.
This means that the samba server may use the local Unix/Linux system
password database (/etc/passwd or /etc/shadow), may use a local smbpasswd
file (/etc/samba/smbpasswd or /usr/local/samba/lib/private/smbpasswd), or
may use an LDAP back end, or even via PAM and Winbind another CIFS/SMB
server for authentication.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2859402"></a>Domain Member Server</h2></div></div><p>
This mode of server operation involves the samba machine being made a member
of a domain security context. This means by definition that all user authentication
will be done from a centrally defined authentication regime. The authentication
regime may come from an NT3/4 style (old domain technology) server, or it may be
provided from an Active Directory server (ADS) running on MS Windows 2000 or later.
</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>
Of course it should be clear that the authentication back end itself could be from any
distributed directory architecture server that is supported by Samba. This can be
LDAP (from OpenLDAP), or Sun's iPlanet, of NetWare Directory Server, etc.
</em></span></p><p>
Please refer to the section on Howto configure Samba as a Primary Domain Controller
and for more information regarding how to create a domain machine account for a
domain member server as well as for information regarding how to enable the samba
domain member machine to join the domain and to be fully trusted by it.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2859442"></a>Domain Controller</h2></div></div><p>
Over the years public perceptions of what Domain Control really is has taken on an
almost mystical nature. Before we branch into a brief overview of what Domain Control
is the following types of controller are known:
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2859458"></a>Domain Controller Types</h3></div></div><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Primary Domain Controller</td></tr><tr><td>Backup Domain Controller</td></tr><tr><td>ADS Domain Controller</td></tr></table><p>
The <span class="emphasis"><em>Primary Domain Controller</em></span> or PDC plays an important role in the MS
Windows NT3 and NT4 Domain Control architecture, but not in the manner that so many
expect. The PDC seeds the Domain Control database (a part of the Windows registry) and
it plays a key part in synchronisation of the domain authentication database.
</p><p>
New to Samba-3.0.0 is the ability to use a back-end file that holds the same type of data as
the NT4 style SAM (Security Account Manager) database (one of the registry files).
The samba-3.0.0 SAM can be specified via the smb.conf file parameter "passwd backend" and
valid options include <span class="emphasis"><em> smbpasswd tdbsam ldapsam nisplussam plugin unixsam</em></span>.
The smbpasswd, tdbsam and ldapsam options can have a "_nua" suffix to indicate that No Unix
Accounts need to be created. In other words, the Samba SAM will be independant of Unix/Linux
system accounts, provided a uid range is defined from which SAM accounts can be created.
</p><p>
The <span class="emphasis"><em>Backup Domain Controller</em></span> or BDC plays a key role in servicing network
authentication requests. The BDC is biased to answer logon requests so that on a network segment
that has a BDC and a PDC the BDC will be most likely to service network logon requests. The PDC will
answer network logon requests when the BDC is too busy (high load). A BDC can be promoted to
a PDC. If the PDC is on line at the time that the BDC is promoted to PDC the previous PDC is
automatically demoted to a BDC.
</p><p>
At this time Samba is NOT capable of acting as an <span class="emphasis"><em>ADS Domain Controller</em></span>.

In this section the function and purpose of Samba's <span class="emphasis"><em>security</em></span>
modes are described.
</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2859216"></a>User and Share security level</h2></div></div><p>
A SMB server tells the client at startup what "security level" it is
running. There are two options "share level" and "user level". Which
of these two the client receives affects the way the client then tries
to authenticate itself. It does not directly affect (to any great
extent) the way the Samba server does security. I know this is
strange, but it fits in with the client/server approach of SMB. In SMB
everything is initiated and controlled by the client, and the server
can only tell the client what is available and whether an action is
allowed.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2859238"></a>User Level Security</h3></div></div><p>
I'll describe user level security first, as its simpler. In user level
security the client will send a "session setup" command directly after
the protocol negotiation. This contains a username and password. The
server can either accept or reject that username/password
combination. Note that at this stage the server has no idea what
share the client will eventually try to connect to, so it can't base
the "accept/reject" on anything other than:
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>the username/password</p></li><li><p>the machine that the client is coming from</p></li></ol></div><p>
If the server accepts the username/password then the client expects to
be able to mount any share (using a "tree connection") without
specifying a password. It expects that all access rights will be as
the username/password specified in the "session setup".
</p><p>
It is also possible for a client to send multiple "session setup"
requests. When the server responds it gives the client a "uid" to use
as an authentication tag for that username/password. The client can
maintain multiple authentication contexts in this way (WinDD is an
example of an application that does this)
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2859720"></a>Share Level Security</h3></div></div><p>
Ok, now for share level security. In share level security the client
authenticates itself separately for each share. It will send a
password along with each "tree connection" (share mount). It does not
explicitly send a username with this operation. The client is
expecting a password to be associated with each share, independent of
the user. This means that samba has to work out what username the
client probably wants to use. It is never explicitly sent the
username. Some commercial SMB servers such as NT actually associate
passwords directly with shares in share level security, but samba
always uses the unix authentication scheme where it is a
username/password that is authenticated, not a "share/password".
</p><p>
Many clients send a "session setup" even if the server is in share
level security. They normally send a valid username but no
password. Samba records this username in a list of "possible
usernames". When the client then does a "tree connection" it also adds
to this list the name of the share they try to connect to (useful for
home directories) and any users listed in the <b>user =</b> <tt>smb.conf</tt>
line. The password is then checked in turn against these "possible
usernames". If a match is found then the client is authenticated as
that user.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2859774"></a>Server Level Security</h3></div></div><p>
Finally "server level" security. In server level security the samba
server reports to the client that it is in user level security. The
client then does a "session setup" as described earlier. The samba
server takes the username/password that the client sends and attempts
to login to the "password server" by sending exactly the same
username/password that it got from the client. If that server is in
user level security and accepts the password then samba accepts the
clients connection. This allows the samba server to use another SMB
server as the "password server".
</p><p>
You should also note that at the very start of all this, where the
server tells the client what security level it is in, it also tells
the client if it supports encryption. If it does then it supplies the
client with a random "cryptkey". The client will then send all
passwords in encrypted form. You have to compile samba with encryption
enabled to support this feature, and you have to maintain a separate
smbpasswd file with SMB style encrypted passwords. It is
cryptographically impossible to translate from unix style encryption
to SMB style encryption, although there are some fairly simple management
schemes by which the two could be kept in sync.
</p><p>
"security = server" means that Samba reports to clients that
it is running in "user mode" but actually passes off all authentication
requests to another "user mode" server. This requires an additional
parameter "password server =" that points to the real authentication server.
That real authentication server can be another Samba server or can be a
Windows NT server, the later natively capable of encrypted password support.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Server</em></span> level security is incompatible with what is known
as <span class="emphasis"><em>schannel</em></span> or "sign and seal" protocols. This means that
if you want to use <span class="emphasis"><em>server</em></span> level security you must disable
the use of "sign and seal" on all machines on your network.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2859859"></a>Configuring Samba for Seemless Windows Network Integration</h4></div></div><p>
MS Windows clients may use encrypted passwords as part of a challenege/response
authentication model (a.k.a. NTLMv1) or alone, or clear text strings for simple
password based authentication. It should be realized that with the SMB protocol
the password is passed over the network either in plain text or encrypted, but
not both in the same authentication request.
</p><p>
When encrypted passwords are used a password that has been entered by the user
is encrypted in two ways:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>An MD4 hash of the UNICODE of the password
string. This is known as the NT hash.
</p></li><li><p>The password is converted to upper case,
and then padded or trucated to 14 bytes. This string is
then appended with 5 bytes of NULL characters and split to
form two 56 bit DES keys to encrypt a "magic" 8 byte value.
The resulting 16 bytes for the LanMan hash.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
MS Windows 95 pre-service pack 1, MS Windows NT versions 3.x and version 4.0
pre-service pack 3 will use either mode of password authentication. All
versions of MS Windows that follow these versions no longer support plain
text passwords by default.
</p><p>
MS Windows clients have a habit of dropping network mappings that have been idle
for 10 minutes or longer. When the user attempts to use the mapped drive
connection that has been dropped, the client re-establishes the connection using
a cached copy of the password.
</p><p>
When Microsoft changed the default password mode, support was dropped for caching
of the plain text password. This means that when the registry parameter is changed
to re-enable use of plain text passwords it appears to work, but when a dropped
service connection mapping attempts to revalidate it will fail if the remote
authentication server does not support encrypted passwords. This means that it
is definitely not a good idea to re-enable plain text password support in such clients.
</p><p>
The following parameters can be used to work around the issue of Windows 9x client
upper casing usernames and password before transmitting them to the SMB server
when using clear text authentication.
</p><pre class="programlisting">
<a href="smb.conf.5.html#PASSWORDLEVEL" target="_top">passsword level</a> = <i><tt>integer</tt></i>
<a href="smb.conf.5.html#USERNAMELEVEL" target="_top">username level</a> = <i><tt>integer</tt></i>
</pre><p>
By default Samba will lower case the username before attempting to lookup the user
in the database of local system accounts. Because UNIX usernames conventionally
only contain lower case character, the <i><tt>username level</tt></i> parameter
is rarely needed.
</p><p>
However, passwords on UNIX systems often make use of mixed case characters.
This means that in order for a user on a Windows 9x client to connect to a Samba
server using clear text authentication, the <i><tt>password level</tt></i>
must be set to the maximum number of upper case letter which <span class="emphasis"><em>could</em></span>
appear is a password. Note that the server OS uses the traditional DES version
of crypt(), a <i><tt>password level</tt></i> of 8 will result in case
insensitive passwords as seen from Windows users. This will also result in longer
login times as Samba has to compute the permutations of the password string and
try them one by one until a match is located (or all combinations fail).
</p><p>
The best option to adopt is to enable support for encrypted passwords
where ever Samba is used. There are three configuration possibilities
for support of encrypted passwords:
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2860034"></a>Use MS Windows NT as an authentication server</h4></div></div><p>
This method involves the additions of the following parameters in the <tt>smb.conf</tt> file:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
encrypt passwords = Yes
security = server
password server = "NetBIOS_name_of_PDC"
</pre><p>
There are two ways of identifying whether or not a username and
password pair was valid or not. One uses the reply information provided
as part of the authentication messaging process, the other uses
just an error code.
</p><p>
The down-side of this mode of configuration is the fact that
for security reasons Samba will send the password server a bogus
username and a bogus password and if the remote server fails to
reject the username and password pair then an alternative mode
of identification of validation is used. Where a site uses password
lock out after a certain number of failed authentication attempts
this will result in user lockouts.
</p><p>
Use of this mode of authentication does require there to be
a standard Unix account for the user, this account can be blocked
to prevent logons by other than MS Windows clients.
</p></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2860095"></a>Domain Level Security</h3></div></div><p>
When samba is operating in <span class="emphasis"><em>security = domain</em></span> mode this means that
the Samba server has a domain security trust account (a machine account) and will cause
all authentication requests to be passed through to the domain controllers.
</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2860115"></a>Samba as a member of an MS Windows NT security domain</h4></div></div><p>
This method involves addition of the following parameters in the <tt>smb.conf</tt> file:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
encrypt passwords = Yes
security = domain
workgroup = "name of NT domain"
password server = *
</pre><p>
The use of the "*" argument to <b>password server</b> will cause samba to locate the
domain controller in a way analogous to the way this is done within MS Windows NT.
This is the default behaviour.
</p><p>
In order for this method to work the Samba server needs to join the
MS Windows NT security domain. This is done as follows:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>On the MS Windows NT domain controller using
the Server Manager add a machine account for the Samba server.
</p></li><li><p>Next, on the Linux system execute:
<b>smbpasswd -r PDC_NAME -j DOMAIN_NAME</b> (samba 2.x)
<b>net join -U administrator%password</b> (samba-3)
</p></li></ul></div><p>
Use of this mode of authentication does require there to be a standard Unix account
for the user in order to assign a uid once the account has been authenticated by
the remote Windows DC. This account can be blocked to prevent logons by clients other than
MS Windows through things such as setting an invalid shell in the
<tt>/etc/passwd</tt> entry.
</p><p>
An alternative to assigning UIDs to Windows users on a Samba member server is
presented in the <a href="#winbind" title="Chapter 15. Unified Logons between Windows NT and UNIX using Winbind">Winbind Overview</a> chapter

The following functionalities are new to the Samba 3.0 release:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
Windows NT 4 domain trusts
</p></li><li><p>
Adding users via the User Manager for Domains

Active Directory)
</p></li></ul></div><p>
Please note that Windows 9x / Me / XP Home clients are not true members of a domain
for reasons outlined in this article. Therefore the protocol for
support of Windows 9x-style domain logons is completely different
from NT4 / Win2k type domain logons and has been officially supported for some
time.
</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>
MS Windows XP Home edition is NOT able to join a domain and does not permit
the use of domain logons.</em></span>
</p><p>
Implementing a Samba PDC can basically be divided into 3 broad
steps.
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>
Configuring the Samba PDC
</p></li><li><p>

to a Samba PDC as much as they are related to Windows NT networking
concepts.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2860563"></a>Configuring the Samba Domain Controller</h2></div></div><p>
The first step in creating a working Samba PDC is to
understand the parameters necessary in smb.conf. Here we
attempt to explain the parameters that are covered in
the <tt>smb.conf</tt> man page.
</p><p>
Here is an example <tt>smb.conf</tt> for acting as a PDC:
</p><pre class="programlisting">

The above parameters make for a full set of parameters that may define the server's mode
of operation. The following parameters are the essentials alone:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
workgroup = NARNIA
domain logons = Yes
security = User
</pre><p>
The additional parameters shown in the longer listing above just makes for a
more complete environment.
</p></div><p>
There are a couple of points to emphasize in the above configuration.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
Encrypted passwords must be enabled. For more details on how
to do this, refer to <a href="#passdb" title="Chapter 10. User information database">the User Database chapter</a>.
</p></li><li><p>
The server must support domain logons and a
<tt>[netlogon]</tt> share
</p></li><li><p>
The server must be the domain master browser in order for Windows
client to locate the server as a DC. Please refer to the various
Network Browsing documentation included with this distribution for
details.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
Samba 3.0 offers a complete implementation of group mapping
between Windows NT groups and Unix groups (this is really quite
complicated to explain in a short space).
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2860863"></a>Creating Machine Trust Accounts and Joining Clients to the Domain</h2></div></div><p>
A machine trust account is a Samba account that is used to
authenticate a client machine (rather than a user) to the Samba
server. In Windows terminology, this is known as a "Computer
Account."</p><p>
The password of a machine trust account acts as the shared secret for
secure communication with the Domain Controller. This is a security
feature to prevent an unauthorized machine with the same NetBIOS name
from joining the domain and gaining access to domain user/group
accounts. Windows NT, 200x, XP Professional clients use machine trust
accounts, but Windows 9x / Me / XP Home clients do not. Hence, a
Windows 9x / Me / XP Home client is never a true member of a domain
because it does not possess a machine trust account, and thus has no
shared secret with the domain controller.
</p><p>A Windows PDC stores each machine trust account in the Windows
Registry. A Samba-3 PDC also has to store machine trust account information
in a suitable backend data store. With Samba-3 there can be multiple back-ends
for this including:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>smbpasswd</em></span> - the plain ascii file stored used by
earlier versions of Samba. This file configuration option requires
a Unix/Linux system account for EVERY entry (ie: both for user and for
machine accounts). This file will be located in the <span class="emphasis"><em>private</em></span>
directory (default is /usr/local/samba/lib/private or on linux /etc/samba).
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>smbpasswd_nua</em></span> - This file is independant of the
system wide user accounts. The use of this back-end option requires
specification of the "non unix account range" option also. It is called
smbpasswd and will be located in the <tt>private</tt> directory.
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>tdbsam</em></span> - a binary database backend that will be
stored in the <span class="emphasis"><em>private</em></span> directory in a file called
<span class="emphasis"><em>passwd.tdb</em></span>. The key benefit of this binary format
file is that it can store binary objects that can not be accomodated
in the traditional plain text smbpasswd file.
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>tdbsam_nua</em></span> like the smbpasswd_nua option above, this
file allows the creation of arbitrary user and machine accounts without
requiring that account to be added to the system (/etc/passwd) file. It
too requires the specification of the "non unix account range" option
in the [globals] section of the <tt>smb.conf</tt> file.
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ldapsam</em></span> - An LDAP based back-end. Permits the
LDAP server to be specified. eg: ldap://localhost or ldap://frodo.murphy.com
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ldapsam_nua</em></span> - LDAP based back-end with no unix
account requirement, like smbpasswd_nua and tdbsam_nua above.
</p></li></ul></div><p>Read the chapter about the <a href="#passdb" title="Chapter 10. User information database">User Database</a>
for details.</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
The new tdbsam and ldapsam account backends store vastly more information than
smbpasswd is capable of. The new backend database includes capacity to specify
per user settings for many parameters, over-riding global settings given in the
<tt>smb.conf</tt> file. eg: logon drive, logon home, logon path, etc.
</p></div><p>
A Samba PDC, however, stores each machine trust account in two parts,
as follows:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>A Samba account, stored in the same location as user
LanMan and NT password hashes (currently
<tt>smbpasswd</tt>). The Samba account
possesses and uses only the NT password hash.</p></li><li><p>A corresponding Unix account, typically stored in
<tt>/etc/passwd</tt>. (Future releases will alleviate the need to
create <tt>/etc/passwd</tt> entries.) </p></li></ul></div><p>
</p><p>
There are two ways to create machine trust accounts:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p> Manual creation. Both the Samba and corresponding
Unix account are created by hand.</p></li><li><p> "On-the-fly" creation. The Samba machine trust
account is automatically created by Samba at the time the client
is joined to the domain. (For security, this is the
recommended method.) The corresponding Unix account may be
created automatically or manually. </p></li></ul></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2861132"></a>Manual Creation of Machine Trust Accounts</h3></div></div><p>
The first step in manually creating a machine trust account is to
manually create the corresponding Unix account in
<tt>/etc/passwd</tt>. This can be done using
<b>vipw</b> or other 'add user' command that is normally
used to create new Unix accounts. The following is an example for a
Linux based Samba server:
</p><p>
<tt>root# </tt><b>/usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d /dev/null -c <i><tt>"machine
nickname"</tt></i> -s /bin/false <i><tt>machine_name</tt></i>$ </b>
</p><p>
<tt>root# </tt><b>passwd -l <i><tt>machine_name</tt></i>$</b>
</p><p>On *BSD systems, this can be done using the 'chpass' utility:</p><p>
<tt>root# </tt><b>chpass -a "<i><tt>machine_name</tt></i>$:*:101:100::0:0:Workstation <i><tt>machine_name</tt></i>:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin"</b>
</p><p>
The <tt>/etc/passwd</tt> entry will list the machine name
with a "$" appended, won't have a password, will have a null shell and no
home directory. For example a machine named 'doppy' would have an
<tt>/etc/passwd</tt> entry like this:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
doppy$:x:505:501:<i><tt>machine_nickname</tt></i>:/dev/null:/bin/false
</pre><p>
Above, <i><tt>machine_nickname</tt></i> can be any
descriptive name for the client, i.e., BasementComputer.
<i><tt>machine_name</tt></i> absolutely must be the NetBIOS
name of the client to be joined to the domain. The "$" must be
appended to the NetBIOS name of the client or Samba will not recognize
this as a machine trust account.
</p><p>
Now that the corresponding Unix account has been created, the next step is to create
the Samba account for the client containing the well-known initial
machine trust account password. This can be done using the <a href="smbpasswd.8.html" target="_top"><b>smbpasswd(8)</b></a> command
as shown here:
</p><p>
<tt>root# </tt><b><tt>smbpasswd -a -m <i><tt>machine_name</tt></i></tt></b>
</p><p>
where <i><tt>machine_name</tt></i> is the machine's NetBIOS
name. The RID of the new machine account is generated from the UID of
the corresponding Unix account.
</p><div class="warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Join the client to the domain immediately</h3><p>
Manually creating a machine trust account using this method is the
equivalent of creating a machine trust account on a Windows NT PDC using
the "Server Manager". From the time at which the account is created
to the time which the client joins the domain and changes the password,
your domain is vulnerable to an intruder joining your domain using
a machine with the same NetBIOS name. A PDC inherently trusts
members of the domain and will serve out a large degree of user
information to such clients. You have been warned!
</p></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2861366"></a>"On-the-Fly" Creation of Machine Trust Accounts</h3></div></div><p>
The second (and recommended) way of creating machine trust accounts is
simply to allow the Samba server to create them as needed when the client
is joined to the domain. </p><p>Since each Samba machine trust account requires a corresponding
Unix account, a method for automatically creating the
Unix account is usually supplied; this requires configuration of the
<a href="smb.conf.5.html#ADDUSERSCRIPT" target="_top">add user script</a>
option in <tt>smb.conf</tt>. This
method is not required, however; corresponding Unix accounts may also
be created manually.
</p><p>Below is an example for a RedHat 6.2 Linux system.
</p><pre class="programlisting">
[global]
# <...remainder of parameters...>
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u
</pre></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2861423"></a>Joining the Client to the Domain</h3></div></div><p>
The procedure for joining a client to the domain varies with the
version of Windows.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Windows 2000</em></span></p><p>
When the user elects to join the client to a domain, Windows prompts for
an account and password that is privileged to join the domain. A Samba administrative
account (i.e., a Samba account that has root privileges on the Samba server) must be
entered here; the operation will fail if an ordinary user account is given.
The password for this account should be set to a different password than the associated
<tt>/etc/passwd</tt> entry, for security reasons.
</p><p>
The session key of the Samba administrative account acts as an
encryption key for setting the password of the machine trust
account. The machine trust account will be created on-the-fly, or
updated if it already exists.
</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Windows NT</em></span></p><p> If the machine trust account was created manually, on the
Identification Changes menu enter the domain name, but do not
check the box "Create a Computer Account in the Domain." In this case,
the existing machine trust account is used to join the machine to
the domain.</p><p> If the machine trust account is to be created
on-the-fly, on the Identification Changes menu enter the domain
name, and check the box "Create a Computer Account in the Domain." In
this case, joining the domain proceeds as above for Windows 2000
(i.e., you must supply a Samba administrative account when
prompted).</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Samba</em></span></p><p>Joining a samba client to a domain is documented in
the <a href="#domain-member" title="Chapter 8. Samba as a NT4 or Win2k domain member">Domain Member</a> chapter.

A 'machine name' in (typically) <tt>/etc/passwd</tt>
of the machine name with a '$' appended. FreeBSD (and other BSD
systems?) won't create a user with a '$' in their name.
</p><p>
The problem is only in the program used to make the entry. Once made, it works perfectly.
Create a user without the '$' using <b>vipw</b> to edit the entry, adding
the '$'. Or create the whole entry with vipw if you like, make sure you use a unique User ID!

This happens if you try to create a machine trust account from the
machine itself and already have a connection (e.g. mapped drive)
to a share (or IPC$) on the Samba PDC. The following command
will remove all network drive connections:
</p><p>
<tt>C:\WINNT\></tt> <b>net use * /d</b>
</p><p>
Further, if the machine is already a 'member of a workgroup' that
is the same name as the domain you are joining (bad idea) you will
get this message. Change the workgroup name to something else, it
does not matter what, reboot, and try again.

</p><p>
This occurs when the domain SID stored in the secrets.tdb database
is changed. The most common cause of a change in domain SID is when
the domain name and/or the server name (netbios name) is changed.
The only way to correct the problem is to restore the original domain
SID or remove the domain client from the domain and rejoin. The domain
SID may be reset using either the net or rpcclient utilities.
</p><p>
The reset or change the domain SID you can use the net command as follows:

net getlocalsid 'OLDNAME'
net setlocalsid 'SID'

When I try to join the domain I get the message "The machine account

</p><p>
This problem is caused by the PDC not having a suitable machine trust account.
If you are using the <i><tt>add user script</tt></i> method to create
accounts then this would indicate that it has not worked. Ensure the domain
admin user system is working.
</p><p>
Alternatively if you are creating account entries manually then they
have not been created correctly. Make sure that you have the entry
correct for the machine trust account in smbpasswd file on the Samba PDC.
If you added the account using an editor rather than using the smbpasswd
utility, make sure that the account name is the machine NetBIOS name
with a '$' appended to it ( i.e. computer_name$ ). There must be an entry
in both /etc/passwd and the smbpasswd file. Some people have reported
that inconsistent subnet masks between the Samba server and the NT
client have caused this problem. Make sure that these are consistent
for both client and server.

A domain and a workgroup are exactly the same thing in terms of network
browsing. The difference is that a distributable authentication
database is associated with a domain, for secure login access to a
network. Also, different access rights can be granted to users if they
successfully authenticate against a domain logon server. Samba-3 does this
now in the same way that MS Windows NT/2K.
</p><p>
The SMB client logging on to a domain has an expectation that every other
server in the domain should accept the same authentication information.
Network browsing functionality of domains and workgroups is identical and
is explained in this documentation under the browsing discussions.
It should be noted, that browsing is totally orthogonal to logon support.
</p><p>
Issues related to the single-logon network model are discussed in this
section. Samba supports domain logons, network logon scripts, and user
profiles for MS Windows for workgroups and MS Windows 9X/ME clients
which are the focus of this section.
</p><p>
When an SMB client in a domain wishes to logon it broadcast requests for a
logon server. The first one to reply gets the job, and validates its
password using whatever mechanism the Samba administrator has installed.
It is possible (but very stupid) to create a domain where the user
database is not shared between servers, i.e. they are effectively workgroup
servers advertising themselves as participating in a domain. This
demonstrates how authentication is quite different from but closely
involved with domains.
</p><p>
Using these features you can make your clients verify their logon via
the Samba server; make clients run a batch file when they logon to
the network and download their preferences, desktop and start menu.
</p><p>
Before launching into the configuration instructions, it is
worthwhile to look at how a Windows 9x/ME client performs a logon:
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>
The client broadcasts (to the IP broadcast address of the subnet it is in)
a NetLogon request. This is sent to the NetBIOS name DOMAIN<1c> at the
NetBIOS layer. The client chooses the first response it receives, which
contains the NetBIOS name of the logon server to use in the format of
\\SERVER.
</p></li><li><p>
The client then connects to that server, logs on (does an SMBsessetupX) and
then connects to the IPC$ share (using an SMBtconX).
</p></li><li><p>
The client then does a NetWkstaUserLogon request, which retrieves the name
of the user's logon script.
</p></li><li><p>
The client then connects to the NetLogon share and searches for this
and if it is found and can be read, is retrieved and executed by the client.
After this, the client disconnects from the NetLogon share.
</p></li><li><p>
The client then sends a NetUserGetInfo request to the server, to retrieve
the user's home share, which is used to search for profiles. Since the
response to the NetUserGetInfo request does not contain much more then
the user's home share, profiles for Win9X clients MUST reside in the user
home directory.
</p></li><li><p>
The client then connects to the user's home share and searches for the
user's profile. As it turns out, you can specify the user's home share as
a sharename and path. For example, \\server\fred\.profile.
If the profiles are found, they are implemented.
</p></li><li><p>
The client then disconnects from the user's home share, and reconnects to
the NetLogon share and looks for CONFIG.POL, the policies file. If this is
found, it is read and implemented.
</p></li></ol></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2861910"></a>Configuration Instructions: Network Logons</h3></div></div><p>
The main difference between a PDC and a Windows 9x logon
server configuration is that
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
Password encryption is not required for a Windows 9x logon server.
</p></li><li><p>
Windows 9x/ME clients do not possess machine trust accounts.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
Therefore, a Samba PDC will also act as a Windows 9x logon
server.
</p><div class="warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">security mode and master browsers</h3><p>
There are a few comments to make in order to tie up some
loose ends. There has been much debate over the issue of whether
or not it is ok to configure Samba as a Domain Controller in security
modes other than <tt>USER</tt>. The only security mode
which will not work due to technical reasons is <tt>SHARE</tt>
mode security. <tt>DOMAIN</tt> and <tt>SERVER</tt>
mode security is really just a variation on SMB user level security.
</p><p>
Actually, this issue is also closely tied to the debate on whether
or not Samba must be the domain master browser for its workgroup
when operating as a DC. While it may technically be possible
to configure a server as such (after all, browsing and domain logons
are two distinctly different functions), it is not a good idea to do
so. You should remember that the DC must register the DOMAIN#1b NetBIOS
name. This is the name used by Windows clients to locate the DC.
Windows clients do not distinguish between the DC and the DMB.
For this reason, it is very wise to configure the Samba DC as the DMB.
</p><p>
Now back to the issue of configuring a Samba DC to use a mode other
than "security = user". If a Samba host is configured to use
another SMB server or DC in order to validate user connection
requests, then it is a fact that some other machine on the network
(the "password server") knows more about the user than the Samba host.
99% of the time, this other host is a domain controller. Now
in order to operate in domain mode security, the "workgroup" parameter
must be set to the name of the Windows NT domain (which already
has a domain controller, right?)
</p><p>
Therefore configuring a Samba box as a DC for a domain that
already by definition has a PDC is asking for trouble.
Therefore, you should always configure the Samba DC to be the DMB
for its domain.

Before you continue reading in this chapter, please make sure
that you are comfortable with configuring a Samba PDC
as described in the <a href="Samba-PDC-HOWTO.html" target="_top">Samba-PDC-HOWTO</a>.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2860294"></a>Background</h2></div></div><p>
What is a Domain Controller? It is a machine that is able to answer
logon requests from workstations in a Windows NT Domain. Whenever a
user logs into a Windows NT Workstation, the workstation connects to a
Domain Controller and asks him whether the username and password the
user typed in is correct. The Domain Controller replies with a lot of
information about the user, for example the place where the users
profile is stored, the users full name of the user. All this
information is stored in the NT user database, the so-called SAM.
</p><p>
There are two kinds of Domain Controller in a NT 4 compatible Domain:
A Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and one or more Backup Domain
Controllers (BDC). The PDC contains the master copy of the
SAM. Whenever the SAM has to change, for example when a user changes
his password, this change has to be done on the PDC. A Backup Domain
Controller is a machine that maintains a read-only copy of the
SAM. This way it is able to reply to logon requests and authenticate
users in case the PDC is not available. During this time no changes to
the SAM are possible. Whenever changes to the SAM are done on the PDC,
all BDC receive the changes from the PDC.
</p><p>
Since version 2.2 Samba officially supports domain logons for all
current Windows Clients, including Windows 2000 and XP. This text
assumes the domain to be named SAMBA. To be able to act as a PDC, some
parameters in the [global]-section of the smb.conf have to be set:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
workgroup = SAMBA
domain master = yes
domain logons = yes
</pre><p>
Several other things like a [homes] and a [netlogon] share also may be
set along with settings for the profile path, the users home drive and
others. This will not be covered in this document.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2862166"></a>What qualifies a Domain Controller on the network?</h2></div></div><p>
Every machine that is a Domain Controller for the domain SAMBA has to
register the NetBIOS group name SAMBA#1c with the WINS server and/or
by broadcast on the local network. The PDC also registers the unique
NetBIOS name SAMBA#1b with the WINS server. The name type #1b is
normally reserved for the domain master browser, a role that has
nothing to do with anything related to authentication, but the
Microsoft Domain implementation requires the domain master browser to
be on the same machine as the PDC.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2862187"></a>How does a Workstation find its domain controller?</h3></div></div><p>
A NT workstation in the domain SAMBA that wants a local user to be
authenticated has to find the domain controller for SAMBA. It does
this by doing a NetBIOS name query for the group name SAMBA#1c. It
assumes that each of the machines it gets back from the queries is a
domain controller and can answer logon requests. To not open security
holes both the workstation and the selected (TODO: How is the DC
chosen) domain controller authenticate each other. After that the
workstation sends the user's credentials (his name and password) to
the domain controller, asking for approval.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2862212"></a>When is the PDC needed?</h3></div></div><p>
Whenever a user wants to change his password, this has to be done on
the PDC. To find the PDC, the workstation does a NetBIOS name query
for SAMBA#1b, assuming this machine maintains the master copy of the
SAM. The workstation contacts the PDC, both mutually authenticate and
the password change is done.
</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2862231"></a>Can Samba be a Backup Domain Controller to an NT PDC?</h2></div></div><p>
With version 2.2, no. The native NT SAM replication protocols have
not yet been fully implemented. The Samba Team is working on
understanding and implementing the protocols, but this work has not
been finished for version 2.2.
</p><p>
With version 3.0, the work on both the replication protocols and a
suitable storage mechanism has progressed, and some form of NT4 BDC
support is expected soon.
</p><p>
Can I get the benefits of a BDC with Samba? Yes. The main reason for
implementing a BDC is availability. If the PDC is a Samba machine,
a second Samba machine can be set up to
service logon requests whenever the PDC is down.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2862264"></a>How do I set up a Samba BDC?</h2></div></div><p>
Several things have to be done:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
The domain SID has to be the same on the PDC and the BDC. This used to
be stored in the file private/MACHINE.SID. This file is not created
anymore since Samba 2.2.5 or even earlier. Nowadays the domain SID is
stored in the file private/secrets.tdb. Simply copying the secrets.tdb
from the PDC to the BDC does not work, as the BDC would
generate a new SID for itself and override the domain SID with this
new BDC SID.</p><p>
To retrieve the domain SID from the PDC or an existing BDC and store it in the
secrets.tdb, execute 'net rpc getsid' on the BDC.
</p></li><li><p>
The Unix user database has to be synchronized from the PDC to the
BDC. This means that both the /etc/passwd and /etc/group have to be
replicated from the PDC to the BDC. This can be done manually
whenever changes are made, or the PDC is set up as a NIS master
server and the BDC as a NIS slave server. To set up the BDC as a
mere NIS client would not be enough, as the BDC would not be able to
access its user database in case of a PDC failure.
</p></li><li><p>
The Samba password database in the file private/smbpasswd has to be
replicated from the PDC to the BDC. This is a bit tricky, see the
next section.
</p></li><li><p>
Any netlogon share has to be replicated from the PDC to the
BDC. This can be done manually whenever login scripts are changed,
or it can be done automatically together with the smbpasswd
synchronization.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
Finally, the BDC has to be found by the workstations. This can be done
by setting
</p><pre class="programlisting">
workgroup = samba
domain master = no
domain logons = yes
</pre><p>
in the [global]-section of the smb.conf of the BDC. This makes the BDC
only register the name SAMBA#1c with the WINS server. This is no
problem as the name SAMBA#1c is a NetBIOS group name that is meant to
be registered by more than one machine. The parameter 'domain master =
no' forces the BDC not to register SAMBA#1b which as a unique NetBIOS
name is reserved for the Primary Domain Controller.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2862361"></a>How do I replicate the smbpasswd file?</h3></div></div><p>
Replication of the smbpasswd file is sensitive. It has to be done
whenever changes to the SAM are made. Every user's password change is
done in the smbpasswd file and has to be replicated to the BDC. So
replicating the smbpasswd file very often is necessary.
</p><p>
As the smbpasswd file contains plain text password equivalents, it
must not be sent unencrypted over the wire. The best way to set up
smbpasswd replication from the PDC to the BDC is to use the utility
rsync. rsync can use ssh as a transport. ssh itself can be set up to
accept *only* rsync transfer without requiring the user to type a
password.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2862390"></a>Can I do this all with LDAP?</h3></div></div><p>The simple answer is YES. Samba's pdb_ldap code supports
binding to a replica LDAP server, and will also follow referrals and
rebind to the master if it ever needs to make a modification to the
database. (Normally BDCs are read only, so this will not occur
often).

You also must ensure that you can do a reverse DNS lookup on the IP
address of your KDC. Also, the name that this reverse lookup maps to
must either be the netbios name of the KDC (ie. the hostname with no
domain attached) or it can alternatively be the netbios name
followed by the realm.
</p><p>
The easiest way to ensure you get this right is to add a
<tt>/etc/hosts</tt> entry mapping the IP address of your KDC to
its netbios name. If you don't get this right then you will get a
"local error" when you try to join the realm.

</pre><p>
</p><p>First, you must edit your <tt>smb.conf</tt> file to tell Samba it should
now use domain security.</p><p>Change (or add) your <a href="smb.conf.5.html#SECURITY" target="_top">
<i><tt>security =</tt></i></a> line in the [global] section
of your <tt>smb.conf</tt> to read:</p><p><b>security = domain</b></p><p>Next change the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#WORKGROUP" target="_top"><i><tt>
workgroup =</tt></i></a> line in the [global] section to read: </p><p><b>workgroup = DOM</b></p><p>as this is the name of the domain we are joining. </p><p>You must also have the parameter <a href="smb.conf.5.html#ENCRYPTPASSWORDS" target="_top">
<i><tt>encrypt passwords</tt></i></a> set to <tt>yes
</tt> in order for your users to authenticate to the NT PDC.</p><p>Finally, add (or modify) a <a href="smb.conf.5.html#PASSWORDSERVER" target="_top">
<i><tt>password server =</tt></i></a> line in the [global]
section to read: </p><p><b>password server = DOMPDC DOMBDC1 DOMBDC2</b></p><p>These are the primary and backup domain controllers Samba
will attempt to contact in order to authenticate users. Samba will
try to contact each of these servers in order, so you may want to
rearrange this list in order to spread out the authentication load
among domain controllers.</p><p>Alternatively, if you want smbd to automatically determine
the list of Domain controllers to use for authentication, you may
set this line to be :</p><p><b>password server = *</b></p><p>This method, allows Samba to use exactly the same
mechanism that NT does. This
method either broadcasts or uses a WINS database in order to
find domain controllers to authenticate against.</p><p>In order to actually join the domain, you must run this
command:</p><p><tt>root# </tt><b><tt>net join -S DOMPDC
-U<i><tt>Administrator%password</tt></i></tt></b></p><p>
If the <b><tt>-S DOMPDC</tt></b> argument is not given then
the domain name will be obtained from smb.conf.
</p><p>as we are joining the domain DOM and the PDC for that domain
(the only machine that has write access to the domain SAM database)
is DOMPDC. The <i><tt>Administrator%password</tt></i> is
the login name and password for an account which has the necessary
privilege to add machines to the domain. If this is successful
you will see the message:</p><p><tt>Joined domain DOM.</tt>
or <tt>Joined 'SERV1' to realm 'MYREALM'</tt>
</p><p>in your terminal window. See the <a href="net.8.html" target="_top">
net(8)</a> man page for more details.</p><p>This process joins the server to the domain
without having to create the machine trust account on the PDC
beforehand.</p><p>This command goes through the machine account password
change protocol, then writes the new (random) machine account
password for this Samba server into a file in the same directory
in which an smbpasswd file would be stored - normally :</p><p><tt>/usr/local/samba/private/secrets.tdb</tt></p><p>This file is created and owned by root and is not
readable by any other user. It is the key to the domain-level
security for your system, and should be treated as carefully
as a shadow password file.</p><p>Finally, restart your Samba daemons and get ready for
clients to begin using domain security!</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2863318"></a>Why is this better than security = server?</h2></div></div><p>Currently, domain security in Samba doesn't free you from
having to create local Unix users to represent the users attaching
to your server. This means that if domain user <tt>DOM\fred
</tt> attaches to your domain security Samba server, there needs
to be a local Unix user fred to represent that user in the Unix
filesystem. This is very similar to the older Samba security mode
<a href="smb.conf.5.html#SECURITYEQUALSSERVER" target="_top">security = server</a>,
where Samba would pass through the authentication request to a Windows
NT server in the same way as a Windows 95 or Windows 98 server would.
</p><p>Please refer to the <a href="winbind.html" target="_top">Winbind
paper</a> for information on a system to automatically
assign UNIX uids and gids to Windows NT Domain users and groups.
</p><p>The advantage to domain-level security is that the
authentication in domain-level security is passed down the authenticated
RPC channel in exactly the same way that an NT server would do it. This
means Samba servers now participate in domain trust relationships in
exactly the same way NT servers do (i.e., you can add Samba servers into
a resource domain and have the authentication passed on from a resource
domain PDC to an account domain PDC).</p><p>In addition, with <b>security = server</b> every Samba
daemon on a server has to keep a connection open to the
authenticating server for as long as that daemon lasts. This can drain
the connection resources on a Microsoft NT server and cause it to run
out of available connections. With <b>security = domain</b>,
however, the Samba daemons connect to the PDC/BDC only for as long
as is necessary to authenticate the user, and then drop the connection,
thus conserving PDC connection resources.</p><p>And finally, acting in the same manner as an NT server
authenticating to a PDC means that as part of the authentication
reply, the Samba server gets the user identification information such
as the user SID, the list of NT groups the user belongs to, etc. </p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p> Much of the text of this document

This document contains detailed information as well as a 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 resolution.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
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.
When the use of NetBIOS over TCP/IP has been disabled then the primary
means for resolution of MS Windows machine names is via DNS and Active Directory.
The following information assumes that your site is running NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

To most people browsing means that they can see the MS Windows and Samba servers
in the Network Neighborhood, and when the computer icon for a particular server is
clicked, it opens up and shows the shares and printers available on the target server.

What seems so simple is in fact a very complex interaction of different technologies.
The technologies (or methods) employed in making all of this work includes:
</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>MS Windows machines register their presence to the network</td></tr><tr><td>Machines announce themselves to other machines on the network</td></tr><tr><td>One or more machine on the network collates the local announcements</td></tr><tr><td>The client machine finds the machine that has the collated list of machines</td></tr><tr><td>The client machine is able to resolve the machine names to IP addresses</td></tr><tr><td>The client machine is able to connect to a target machine</td></tr></table><p>
The samba application that controls/manages browse list management and name resolution is
called <tt>nmbd</tt>. The configuration parameters involved in nmbd's operation are:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
Browsing options:
-----------------
* os level
lm announce
lm interval
* preferred master
* local master
* domain master
browse list
enhanced browsing
Name Resolution Method:
-----------------------
* name resolve order
WINS options:
-------------
dns proxy
wins proxy
* wins server
* wins support
wins hook
</pre><p>
WINS Server and WINS Support are mutually exclusive options. Those marked with an '*' are
the only options that commonly MAY need to be modified. Even if not one of these parameters
is set nmbd will still do it's job.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2863646"></a>Discussion</h2></div></div><p>
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.
</p><p>
Normally, only unicast UDP messaging can be forwarded by routers. The
<b>remote announce</b>
parameter to smb.conf helps to project browse announcements
to remote network segments via unicast UDP. Similarly, the
<b>remote browse sync</b> parameter of <tt>smb.conf</tt>
implements browse list collation using unicast UDP.
</p><p>
Secondly, in those networks where Samba is the only SMB server technology
wherever possible <tt>nmbd</tt> 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
<b>remote announce</b> and the <b>remote browse sync</b>
parameters to your <tt>smb.conf</tt> file.
</p><p>
If only one WINS server is used for an entire multi-segment network then
the use of the <b>remote announce</b> and the
<b>remote browse sync</b> parameters should NOT be necessary.
</p><p>
As of Samba 3 WINS replication is being worked on. The bulk of the code has
been committed, but it still needs maturation.
</p><p>
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 <tt>nmbd</tt> 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
<b>remote browse sync</b> and <b>remote announce</b>
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).
</p><p>
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.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2863809"></a>How Browsing Functions</h2></div></div><p>
As stated above, MS Windows machines register their NetBIOS names
(ie: the machine name for each service type in operation) on start
up. Also, as stated above, the exact method by which this name registration
takes place is determined by whether or not the MS Windows client/server
has been given a WINS server address, whether or not LMHOSTS lookup
is enabled, or if DNS for NetBIOS name resolution is enabled, etc.
</p><p>
In the case where there is no WINS server all name registrations as
well as name lookups are done by UDP broadcast. This isolates name
resolution to the local subnet, unless LMHOSTS is used to list all
names and IP addresses. In such situations Samba provides a means by
which the samba server name may be forcibly injected into the browse
list of a remote MS Windows network (using the
<b>remote announce</b> parameter).
</p><p>
Where a WINS server is used, the MS Windows client will use UDP
unicast to register with the WINS server. Such packets can be routed
and thus WINS allows name resolution to function across routed networks.
</p><p>
During the startup process an election will take place to create a
local master browser if one does not already exist. On each NetBIOS network
one machine will be elected to function as the domain master browser. This
domain browsing has nothing to do with MS security domain control.
Instead, the domain master browser serves the role of contacting each local
master browser (found by asking WINS or from LMHOSTS) and exchanging browse
list contents. This way every master browser will eventually obtain a complete
list of all machines that are on the network. Every 11-15 minutes an election
is held to determine which machine will be the master browser. By the nature of
the election criteria used, the machine with the highest uptime, or the
most senior protocol version, or other criteria, will win the election
as domain master browser.
</p><p>
Clients wishing to browse the network make use of this list, but also depend
on the availability of correct name resolution to the respective IP
address/addresses.
</p><p>
Any configuration that breaks name resolution and/or browsing intrinsics
will annoy users because they will have to put up with protracted
inability to use the network services.
</p><p>
Samba supports a feature that allows forced synchonisation
of browse lists across routed networks using the <b>remote
browse sync</b> parameter in the <tt>smb.conf</tt> file.
This causes Samba to contact the local master browser on a remote network and
to request browse list synchronisation. This effectively bridges
two networks that are separated by routers. The two remote
networks may use either broadcast based name resolution or WINS
based name resolution, but it should be noted that the <b>remote
browse sync</b> parameter provides browse list synchronisation - and
that is distinct from name to address resolution, in other
words, for cross subnet browsing to function correctly it is
essential that a name to address resolution mechanism be provided.
This mechanism could be via DNS, <tt>/etc/hosts</tt>,
and so on.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2863936"></a>Setting up WORKGROUP Browsing</h3></div></div><p>
To set up cross subnet browsing on a network containing machines
in up to be in a WORKGROUP, not an NT Domain you need to set up one
Samba server to be the Domain Master Browser (note that this is *NOT*
the same as a Primary Domain Controller, although in an NT Domain the
same machine plays both roles). The role of a Domain master browser is
to collate the browse lists from local master browsers on all the
subnets that have a machine participating in the workgroup. Without
one machine configured as a domain master browser each subnet would
be an isolated workgroup, unable to see any machines on any other
subnet. It is the presense of a domain master browser that makes
cross subnet browsing possible for a workgroup.
</p><p>
In an WORKGROUP environment the domain master browser must be a
Samba server, and there must only be one domain master browser per
workgroup name. To set up a Samba server as a domain master browser,
set the following option in the [global] section of the <tt>smb.conf</tt> file :
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
domain master = yes
</pre><p>
</p><p>
The domain master browser should also preferrably be the local master
browser for its own subnet. In order to achieve this set the following
options in the [global] section of the <tt>smb.conf</tt> file :
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
</pre><p>
</p><p>
The domain master browser may be the same machine as the WINS
server, if you require.
</p><p>
Next, you should ensure that each of the subnets contains a
machine that can act as a local master browser for the
workgroup. Any MS Windows NT/2K/XP/2003 machine should be
able to do this, as will Windows 9x machines (although these
tend to get rebooted more often, so it's not such a good idea
to use these). To make a Samba server a local master browser
set the following options in the [global] section of the
<tt>smb.conf</tt> file :
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
domain master = no
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
</pre><p>
</p><p>
Do not do this for more than one Samba server on each subnet,
or they will war with each other over which is to be the local
master browser.
</p><p>
The <b>local master</b> parameter allows Samba to act as a
local master browser. The <b>preferred master</b> causes nmbd
to force a browser election on startup and the <b>os level</b>
parameter sets Samba high enough so that it should win any browser elections.
</p><p>
If you have an NT machine on the subnet that you wish to
be the local master browser then you can disable Samba from
becoming a local master browser by setting the following
options in the <b>[global]</b> section of the
<tt>smb.conf</tt> file :
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
domain master = no
local master = no
preferred master = no
os level = 0
</pre><p>
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2864124"></a>Setting up DOMAIN Browsing</h3></div></div><p>
If you are adding Samba servers to a Windows NT Domain then
you must not set up a Samba server as a domain master browser.
By default, a Windows NT Primary Domain Controller for a Domain
name is also the Domain master browser for that name, and many
things will break if a Samba server registers the Domain master
browser NetBIOS name (<i><tt>DOMAIN</tt></i><1B>)
with WINS instead of the PDC.
</p><p>
For subnets other than the one containing the Windows NT PDC
you may set up Samba servers as local master browsers as
described. To make a Samba server a local master browser set
the following options in the <b>[global]</b> section
of the <tt>smb.conf</tt> file :
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
domain master = no
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
</pre><p>
</p><p>
If you wish to have a Samba server fight the election with machines
on the same subnet you may set the <b>os level</b> parameter
to lower levels. By doing this you can tune the order of machines that
will become local master browsers if they are running. For
more details on this see the section <a href="#browse-force-master" title="Forcing samba to be the master">
Forcing samba to be the master browser</a>
below.
</p><p>
If you have Windows NT machines that are members of the domain
on all subnets, and you are sure they will always be running then
you can disable Samba from taking part in browser elections and
ever becoming a local master browser by setting following options
in the <b>[global]</b> section of the <tt>smb.conf</tt>
file :
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
domain master = no
local master = no
preferred master = no
os level = 0
</pre><p>
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="browse-force-master"></a>Forcing samba to be the master</h3></div></div><p>
Who becomes the <b>master browser</b> is determined by an election
process using broadcasts. Each election packet contains a number of parameters
which determine what precedence (bias) a host should have in the
election. By default Samba uses a very low precedence and thus loses
elections to just about anyone else.
</p><p>
If you want Samba to win elections then just set the <b>os level</b> global
option in <tt>smb.conf</tt> to a higher number. It defaults to 0. Using 34
would make it win all elections over every other system (except other
samba systems!)
</p><p>
A <b>os level</b> of 2 would make it beat WfWg and Win95, but not MS Windows
NT/2K Server. A MS Windows NT/2K Server domain controller uses level 32.
</p><p>The maximum os level is 255</p><p>
If you want samba to force an election on startup, then set the
<b>preferred master</b> global option in <tt>smb.conf</tt> to "yes". Samba will
then have a slight advantage over other potential master browsers
that are not preferred master browsers. Use this parameter with
care, as if you have two hosts (whether they are windows 95 or NT or
samba) on the same local subnet both set with <b>preferred master</b> to
"yes", then periodically and continually they will force an election
in order to become the local master browser.
</p><p>
If you want samba to be a <b>domain master browser</b>, then it is
recommended that you also set <b>preferred master</b> to "yes", because
samba will not become a domain master browser for the whole of your
LAN or WAN if it is not also a local master browser on its own
broadcast isolated subnet.
</p><p>
It is possible to configure two samba servers to attempt to become
the domain master browser for a domain. The first server that comes
up will be the domain master browser. All other samba servers will
attempt to become the domain master browser every 5 minutes. They
will find that another samba server is already the domain master
browser and will fail. This provides automatic redundancy, should
the current domain master browser fail.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2864390"></a>Making samba the domain master</h3></div></div><p>
The domain master is responsible for collating the browse lists of
multiple subnets so that browsing can occur between subnets. You can
make samba act as the domain master by setting <b>domain master = yes</b>
in <tt>smb.conf</tt>. By default it will not be a domain master.
</p><p>
Note that you should NOT set Samba to be the domain master for a
workgroup that has the same name as an NT Domain.
</p><p>
When samba is the domain master and the master browser it will listen
for master announcements (made roughly every twelve minutes) from local
master browsers on other subnets and then contact them to synchronise
browse lists.
</p><p>
If you want samba to be the domain master then I suggest you also set
the <b>os level</b> high enough to make sure it wins elections, and set
<b>preferred master</b> to "yes", to get samba to force an election on
startup.
</p><p>
Note that all your servers (including samba) and clients should be
using a WINS server to resolve NetBIOS names. If your clients are only
using broadcasting to resolve NetBIOS names, then two things will occur:
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>
your local master browsers will be unable to find a domain master
browser, as it will only be looking on the local subnet.
</p></li><li><p>
if a client happens to get hold of a domain-wide browse list, and
a user attempts to access a host in that list, it will be unable to
resolve the NetBIOS name of that host.
</p></li></ol></div><p>
If, however, both samba and your clients are using a WINS server, then:
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>
your local master browsers will contact the WINS server and, as long as
samba has registered that it is a domain master browser with the WINS
server, your local master browser will receive samba's ip address
as its domain master browser.
</p></li><li><p>
when a client receives a domain-wide browse list, and a user attempts
to access a host in that list, it will contact the WINS server to
resolve the NetBIOS name of that host. as long as that host has
registered its NetBIOS name with the same WINS server, the user will
be able to see that host.
</p></li></ol></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2864538"></a>Note about broadcast addresses</h3></div></div><p>
If your network uses a "0" based broadcast address (for example if it
ends in a 0) then you will strike problems. Windows for Workgroups
does not seem to support a 0's broadcast and you will probably find
that browsing and name lookups won't work.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2864555"></a>Multiple interfaces</h3></div></div><p>
Samba now supports machines with multiple network interfaces. If you
have multiple interfaces then you will need to use the <b>interfaces</b>
option in <tt>smb.conf</tt> to configure them.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2864584"></a>Use of the <b>Remote Announce</b> parameter</h3></div></div><p>
The <b>remote announce</b> parameter of
<tt>smb.conf</tt> can be used to forcibly ensure
that all the NetBIOS names on a network get announced to a remote network.
The syntax of the <b>remote announce</b> parameter is:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
remote announce = a.b.c.d [e.f.g.h] ...
</pre><p>
_or_
</p><pre class="programlisting">
remote announce = a.b.c.d/WORKGROUP [e.f.g.h/WORKGROUP] ...
</pre><p>
where:
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><i><tt>a.b.c.d</tt></i> and
<i><tt>e.f.g.h</tt></i></span></dt><dd><p>is either the LMB (Local Master Browser) IP address
or the broadcst address of the remote network.
ie: the LMB is at 192.168.1.10, or the address
could be given as 192.168.1.255 where the netmask
is assumed to be 24 bits (255.255.255.0).
When the remote announcement is made to the broadcast
address of the remote network every host will receive
our announcements. This is noisy and therefore
undesirable but may be necessary if we do NOT know
the IP address of the remote LMB.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><i><tt>WORKGROUP</tt></i></span></dt><dd><p>is optional and can be either our own workgroup
or that of the remote network. If you use the
workgroup name of the remote network then our
NetBIOS machine names will end up looking like
they belong to that workgroup, this may cause
name resolution problems and should be avoided.

</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2864695"></a>Use of the <b>Remote Browse Sync</b> parameter</h3></div></div><p>
The <b>remote browse sync</b> parameter of
<tt>smb.conf</tt> is used to announce to
another LMB that it must synchronise it's NetBIOS name list with our
Samba LMB. It works ONLY if the Samba server that has this option is
simultaneously the LMB on it's network segment.
</p><p>
The syntax of the <b>remote browse sync</b> parameter is:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
remote browse sync = <i><tt>a.b.c.d</tt></i>
</pre><p>
where <i><tt>a.b.c.d</tt></i> is either the IP address of the

Use of WINS (either Samba WINS _or_ MS Windows NT Server WINS) is highly
recommended. Every NetBIOS machine registers it's name together with a
name_type value for each of of several types of service it has available.
eg: It registers it's name directly as a unique (the type 0x03) name.
It also registers it's name if it is running the lanmanager compatible
server service (used to make shares and printers available to other users)
by registering the server (the type 0x20) name.
</p><p>
All NetBIOS names are up to 15 characters in length. The name_type variable
is added to the end of the name - thus creating a 16 character name. Any
name that is shorter than 15 characters is padded with spaces to the 15th
character. ie: All NetBIOS names are 16 characters long (including the
name_type information).
</p><p>
WINS can store these 16 character names as they get registered. A client
that wants to log onto the network can ask the WINS server for a list
of all names that have registered the NetLogon service name_type. This saves
broadcast traffic and greatly expedites logon processing. Since broadcast
name resolution can not be used across network segments this type of
information can only be provided via WINS _or_ via statically configured
<tt>lmhosts</tt> files that must reside on all clients in the
absence of WINS.
</p><p>
WINS also serves the purpose of forcing browse list synchronisation by all
LMB's. LMB's must synchronise their browse list with the DMB (domain master
browser) and WINS helps the LMB to identify it's DMB. By definition this
will work only within a single workgroup. Note that the domain master browser
has NOTHING to do with what is referred to as an MS Windows NT Domain. The
later is a reference to a security environment while the DMB refers to the
master controller for browse list information only.
</p><p>
Use of WINS will work correctly only if EVERY client TCP/IP protocol stack
has been configured to use the WINS server/s. Any client that has not been
configured to use the WINS server will continue to use only broadcast based
name registration so that WINS may NEVER get to know about it. In any case,
machines that have not registered with a WINS server will fail name to address
lookup attempts by other clients and will therefore cause workstation access
errors.
</p><p>
To configure Samba as a WINS server just add
<b>wins support = yes</b> to the <tt>smb.conf</tt>
file [globals] section.
</p><p>
To configure Samba to register with a WINS server just add
"wins server = a.b.c.d" to your smb.conf file [globals] section.
</p><div class="important" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Important</h3><p>
Never use both <b>wins support = yes</b> together
with <b>wins server = a.b.c.d</b>
particularly not using it's own IP address.
Specifying both will cause nmbd to refuse to start!
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2863586"></a>Setting up a WINS server</h3></div></div><p>
Either a Samba machine or a Windows NT Server machine may be set up
as a WINS server. To set a Samba machine to be a WINS server you must
add the following option to the <tt>smb.conf</tt> file on the selected machine :
in the [globals] section add the line
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
wins support = yes
</pre><p>
</p><p>
Versions of Samba prior to 1.9.17 had this parameter default to
yes. If you have any older versions of Samba on your network it is
strongly suggested you upgrade to a recent version, or at the very
least set the parameter to 'no' on all these machines.
</p><p>
Machines with <b>wins support = yes</b> will keep a list of
all NetBIOS names registered with them, acting as a DNS for NetBIOS names.
</p><p>
You should set up only ONE wins server. Do NOT set the
<b>wins support = yes</b> option on more than one Samba
server.
</p><p>
To set up a Windows NT Server as a WINS server you need to set up
the WINS service - see your NT documentation for details. Note that
Windows NT WINS Servers can replicate to each other, allowing more
than one to be set up in a complex subnet environment. As Microsoft
refuse to document these replication protocols Samba cannot currently
participate in these replications. It is possible in the future that
a Samba->Samba WINS replication protocol may be defined, in which
case more than one Samba machine could be set up as a WINS server
but currently only one Samba server should have the
<b>wins support = yes</b> parameter set.
</p><p>
After the WINS server has been configured you must ensure that all
machines participating on the network are configured with the address
of this WINS server. If your WINS server is a Samba machine, fill in
the Samba machine IP address in the "Primary WINS Server" field of
the "Control Panel->Network->Protocols->TCP->WINS Server" dialogs
in Windows 95 or Windows NT. To tell a Samba server the IP address
of the WINS server add the following line to the [global] section of
all <tt>smb.conf</tt> files :
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
wins server = <name or IP address>
</pre><p>
</p><p>
where <name or IP address> is either the DNS name of the WINS server
machine or its IP address.
</p><p>
Note that this line MUST NOT BE SET in the <tt>smb.conf</tt> file of the Samba
server acting as the WINS server itself. If you set both the
<b>wins support = yes</b> option and the
<b>wins server = <name></b> option then
nmbd will fail to start.
</p><p>
There are two possible scenarios for setting up cross subnet browsing.

Do NOT use more than one (1) protocol on MS Windows machines
</p></div><p>
A very common cause of browsing problems results from installing more than
one protocol on an MS Windows machine.
</p><p>
Every NetBIOS machine takes part in a process of electing the LMB (and DMB)
every 15 minutes. A set of election criteria is used to determine the order
of precidence for winning this election process. A machine running Samba or
Windows NT will be biased so that the most suitable machine will predictably
win and thus retain it's role.
</p><p>
The election process is "fought out" so to speak over every NetBIOS network
interface. In the case of a Windows 9x machine that has both TCP/IP and IPX
installed and has NetBIOS enabled over both protocols the election will be
decided over both protocols. As often happens, if the Windows 9x machine is
the only one with both protocols then the LMB may be won on the NetBIOS
interface over the IPX protocol. Samba will then lose the LMB role as Windows
9x will insist it knows who the LMB is. Samba will then cease to function
as an LMB and thus browse list operation on all TCP/IP only machines will
fail.
</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>
Windows 95, 98, 98se, Me are referred to generically as Windows 9x.
The Windows NT4, 2000, XP and 2003 use common protocols. These are roughly
referred to as the WinNT family, but it should be recognised that 2000 and
XP/2003 introduce new protocol extensions that cause them to behave
differently from MS Windows NT4. Generally, where a server does NOT support
the newer or extended protocol, these will fall back to the NT4 protocols.

The safest rule of all to follow it this - USE ONLY ONE PROTOCOL!
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2865354"></a>Name Resolution Order</h3></div></div><p>
Resolution of NetBIOS names to IP addresses can take place using a number
of methods. The only ones that can provide NetBIOS name_type information
are:</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>WINS: the best tool!</td></tr><tr><td>LMHOSTS: is static and hard to maintain.</td></tr><tr><td>Broadcast: uses UDP and can not resolve names across remote segments.</td></tr></table><p>
Alternative means of name resolution includes:</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>/etc/hosts: is static, hard to maintain, and lacks name_type info</td></tr><tr><td>DNS: is a good choice but lacks essential name_type info.</td></tr></table><p>
Many sites want to restrict DNS lookups and want to avoid broadcast name
resolution traffic. The "name resolve order" parameter is of great help here.
The syntax of the "name resolve order" parameter is:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast host
</pre><p>
_or_
</p><pre class="programlisting">
name resolve order = wins lmhosts (eliminates bcast and host)
</pre><p>
The default is:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
name resolve order = host lmhost wins bcast
</pre><p>
where "host" refers the the native methods used by the Unix system
to implement the gethostbyname() function call. This is normally
controlled by <tt>/etc/host.conf</tt>, <tt>/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt> and <tt>/etc/resolv.conf</tt>.

SMB networking provides a mechanism by which clients can access a list
of machines in a network, a so-called <b>browse list</b>. This list
contains machines that are ready to offer file and/or print services
to other machines within the network. Thus it does not include
machines which aren't currently able to do server tasks. The browse
list is heavily used by all SMB clients. Configuration of SMB
browsing has been problematic for some Samba users, hence this
document.
</p><p>
MS Windows 2000 and later, as with Samba 3 and later, can be
configured to not use NetBIOS over TCP/IP. When configured this way
it is imperative that name resolution (using DNS/LDAP/ADS) be correctly
configured and operative. Browsing will NOT work if name resolution
from SMB machine names to IP addresses does not function correctly.
</p><p>
Where NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled use of a WINS server is highly
recommended to aid the resolution of NetBIOS (SMB) names to IP addresses.
WINS allows remote segment clients to obtain NetBIOS name_type information
that can NOT be provided by any other means of name resolution.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2865517"></a>Browsing support in samba</h3></div></div><p>
Samba facilitates browsing. The browsing is supported by nmbd
and is also controlled by options in the <tt>smb.conf</tt> file.
Samba can act as a local browse master for a workgroup and the ability
to support domain logons and scripts is now available.
</p><p>
Samba can also act as a domain master browser for a workgroup. This
means that it will collate lists from local browse masters into a
wide area network server list. In order for browse clients to
resolve the names they may find in this list, it is recommended that
both samba and your clients use a WINS server.
</p><p>
Note that you should NOT set Samba to be the domain master for a
workgroup that has the same name as an NT Domain: on each wide area
network, you must only ever have one domain master browser per workgroup,
regardless of whether it is NT, Samba or any other type of domain master
that is providing this service.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Nmbd can be configured as a WINS server, but it is not
necessary to specifically use samba as your WINS server. MS Windows
NT4, Server or Advanced Server 2000 or 2003 can be configured as
your WINS server. In a mixed NT/2000/2003 server and samba environment on
a Wide Area Network, it is recommended that you use the Microsoft
WINS server capabilities. In a samba-only environment, it is
recommended that you use one and only one Samba server as your WINS server.
</p></div><p>
To get browsing to work you need to run nmbd as usual, but will need
to use the <b>workgroup</b> option in <tt>smb.conf</tt>
to control what workgroup Samba becomes a part of.
</p><p>
Samba also has a useful option for a Samba server to offer itself for
browsing on another subnet. It is recommended that this option is only
used for 'unusual' purposes: announcements over the internet, for
example. See <b>remote announce</b> in the
<tt>smb.conf</tt> man page.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2865624"></a>Problem resolution</h3></div></div><p>
If something doesn't work then hopefully the log.nmb file will help
you track down the problem. Try a debug level of 2 or 3 for finding
problems. Also note that the current browse list usually gets stored
in text form in a file called <tt>browse.dat</tt>.
</p><p>
Note that if it doesn't work for you, then you should still be able to
type the server name as <tt>\\SERVER</tt> in filemanager then
hit enter and filemanager should display the list of available shares.
</p><p>
Some people find browsing fails because they don't have the global
<b>guest account</b> set to a valid account. Remember that the
IPC$ connection that lists the shares is done as guest, and thus you must
have a valid guest account.
</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>
MS Windows 2000 and upwards (as with Samba) can be configured to disallow
anonymous (ie: Guest account) access to the IPC$ share. In that case, the
MS Windows 2000/XP/2003 machine acting as an SMB/CIFS client will use the
name of the currently logged in user to query the IPC$ share. MS Windows
9X clients are not able to do this and thus will NOT be able to browse
server resources.
</em></span></p><p>
The other big problem people have is that their broadcast address,
netmask or IP address is wrong (specified with the "interfaces" option
in <tt>smb.conf</tt>)
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2865703"></a>Browsing across subnets</h3></div></div><p>
Since the release of Samba 1.9.17(alpha1) Samba has been
updated to enable it to support the replication of browse lists
across subnet boundaries. New code and options have been added to
achieve this. This section describes how to set this feature up
in different settings.
</p><p>
To see browse lists that span TCP/IP subnets (ie. networks separated
by routers that don't pass broadcast traffic) you must set up at least
one WINS server. The WINS server acts as a DNS for NetBIOS names, allowing
NetBIOS name to IP address translation to be done by doing a direct
query of the WINS server. This is done via a directed UDP packet on
port 137 to the WINS server machine. The reason for a WINS server is
that by default, all NetBIOS name to IP address translation is done
by broadcasts from the querying machine. This means that machines
on one subnet will not be able to resolve the names of machines on
another subnet without using a WINS server.
</p><p>
Remember, for browsing across subnets to work correctly, all machines,
be they Windows 95, Windows NT, or Samba servers must have the IP address
of a WINS server given to them by a DHCP server, or by manual configuration
(for Win95 and WinNT, this is in the TCP/IP Properties, under Network
settings) for Samba this is in the <tt>smb.conf</tt> file.
</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2865754"></a>How does cross subnet browsing work ?</h4></div></div><p>
Cross subnet browsing is a complicated dance, containing multiple
moving parts. It has taken Microsoft several years to get the code
that achieves this correct, and Samba lags behind in some areas.
Samba is capable of cross subnet browsing when configured correctly.
</p><p>
Consider a network set up as follows :
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
(DMB)
N1_A N1_B N1_C N1_D N1_E
| | | | |
-------------------------------------------------------
| subnet 1 |
+---+ +---+
|R1 | Router 1 Router 2 |R2 |
+---+ +---+
| |
| subnet 2 subnet 3 |
-------------------------- ------------------------------------
| | | | | | | |
N2_A N2_B N2_C N2_D N3_A N3_B N3_C N3_D
(WINS)
</pre><p>
</p><p>
Consisting of 3 subnets (1, 2, 3) connected by two routers
(R1, R2) - these do not pass broadcasts. Subnet 1 has 5 machines
on it, subnet 2 has 4 machines, subnet 3 has 4 machines. Assume
for the moment that all these machines are configured to be in the
same workgroup (for simplicities sake). Machine N1_C on subnet 1
is configured as Domain Master Browser (ie. it will collate the
browse lists for the workgroup). Machine N2_D is configured as
WINS server and all the other machines are configured to register
their NetBIOS names with it.
</p><p>
As all these machines are booted up, elections for master browsers
will take place on each of the three subnets. Assume that machine
N1_C wins on subnet 1, N2_B wins on subnet 2, and N3_D wins on
subnet 3 - these machines are known as local master browsers for
their particular subnet. N1_C has an advantage in winning as the
local master browser on subnet 1 as it is set up as Domain Master
Browser.
</p><p>
On each of the three networks, machines that are configured to
offer sharing services will broadcast that they are offering
these services. The local master browser on each subnet will
receive these broadcasts and keep a record of the fact that
the machine is offering a service. This list of records is
the basis of the browse list. For this case, assume that
all the machines are configured to offer services so all machines
will be on the browse list.
</p><p>
For each network, the local master browser on that network is
considered 'authoritative' for all the names it receives via
local broadcast. This is because a machine seen by the local
master browser via a local broadcast must be on the same
network as the local master browser and thus is a 'trusted'
and 'verifiable' resource. Machines on other networks that
the local master browsers learn about when collating their
browse lists have not been directly seen - these records are
called 'non-authoritative'.
</p><p>
At this point the browse lists look as follows (these are
the machines you would see in your network neighborhood if
you looked in it on a particular network right now).
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
Subnet Browse Master List
------ ------------- ----
Subnet1 N1_C N1_A, N1_B, N1_C, N1_D, N1_E
Subnet2 N2_B N2_A, N2_B, N2_C, N2_D
Subnet3 N3_D N3_A, N3_B, N3_C, N3_D
</pre><p>
</p><p>
Note that at this point all the subnets are separate, no
machine is seen across any of the subnets.
</p><p>
Now examine subnet 2. As soon as N2_B has become the local
master browser it looks for a Domain master browser to synchronize
its browse list with. It does this by querying the WINS server
(N2_D) for the IP address associated with the NetBIOS name
WORKGROUP<1B>. This name was registerd by the Domain master
browser (N1_C) with the WINS server as soon as it was booted.
</p><p>
Once N2_B knows the address of the Domain master browser it
tells it that is the local master browser for subnet 2 by
sending a MasterAnnouncement packet as a UDP port 138 packet.
It then synchronizes with it by doing a NetServerEnum2 call. This
tells the Domain Master Browser to send it all the server
names it knows about. Once the domain master browser receives
the MasterAnnouncement packet it schedules a synchronization
request to the sender of that packet. After both synchronizations
are done the browse lists look like :
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
Subnet Browse Master List

Subnet3 N3_D N3_A, N3_B, N3_C, N3_D

</pre><p>
</p><p>
At this point users looking in their network neighborhood on
subnets 1 or 2 will see all the servers on both, users on
subnet 3 will still only see the servers on their own subnet.
</p><p>
The same sequence of events that occured for N2_B now occurs
for the local master browser on subnet 3 (N3_D). When it
synchronizes browse lists with the domain master browser (N1_A)
it gets both the server entries on subnet 1, and those on
subnet 2. After N3_D has synchronized with N1_C and vica-versa
the browse lists look like.

At this point users looking in their network neighborhood on
subnets 1 or 3 will see all the servers on all sunbets, users on
subnet 2 will still only see the servers on subnets 1 and 2, but not 3.
</p><p>
Finally, the local master browser for subnet 2 (N2_B) will sync again
with the domain master browser (N1_C) and will recieve the missing
server entries. Finally - and as a steady state (if no machines
are removed or shut off) the browse lists will look like :
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">

</pre><p>
</p><p>
Synchronizations between the domain master browser and local
master browsers will continue to occur, but this should be a
steady state situation.
</p><p>
If either router R1 or R2 fails the following will occur:
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>
Names of computers on each side of the inaccessible network fragments
will be maintained for as long as 36 minutes, in the network neighbourhood
lists.
</p></li><li><p>
Attempts to connect to these inaccessible computers will fail, but the
names will not be removed from the network neighbourhood lists.
</p></li><li><p>
If one of the fragments is cut off from the WINS server, it will only
be able to access servers on its local subnet, by using subnet-isolated
broadcast NetBIOS name resolution. The effects are similar to that of
losing access to a DNS server.

Samba can check these passwords by crypting them and comparing them
to the hash stored in the unix user database.
</p><p>
Newer windows clients send encrypted passwords (so-called
Lanman and NT hashes) 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.
</p><p>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. </p><p>Next to a differently encrypted passwords,
windows also stores certain data for each user
that is not stored in a unix user database, e.g.
workstations the user may logon from, the location where his/her
profile is stored, etc.
Samba retrieves and stores this information using a "passdb backend".
Commonly
available backends are LDAP, plain text file, MySQL and nisplus.

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 data stored in whatever
passdb backend you use (smbpasswd file, ldap, mysql) as though it contained the
cleartext passwords of all your users. Its contents must be kept
secret, and the file should be protected accordingly.</p><p>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). </p><div class="warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Warning</h3><p>Note that Windows NT 4.0 Service pack 3 changed the

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.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>OpenLDAP - <a href="http://www.openldap.org/" target="_top">http://www.openldap.org/</a></p></li><li><p>iPlanet Directory Server - <a href="http://iplanet.netscape.com/directory" target="_top">http://iplanet.netscape.com/directory</a></p></li></ul></div><p>
Note that <a href="http://www.ora.com/" target="_top">O'Reilly Publishing</a> is working on
a guide to LDAP for System Administrators which has a planned release date of
early summer, 2002.
</p><p>
Two additional Samba resources which may prove to be helpful are
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>The <a href="http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb/ldap-smb-3-howto.html" target="_top">Samba-PDC-LDAP-HOWTO</a>
maintained by Ignacio Coupeau.</p></li><li><p>The NT migration scripts from <a href="http://samba.idealx.org/" target="_top">IDEALX</a> that are
geared to manage users and group in such a Samba-LDAP Domain Controller configuration.
</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2866721"></a>Encrypted Password Database</h3></div></div><p>
Traditionally, when configuring <a href="smb.conf.5.html#ENCRYPTPASSWORDS" target="_top">"encrypt
passwords = yes"</a> in Samba's <tt>smb.conf</tt> file, user account
information such as username, LM/NT password hashes, password change times, and account
flags have been stored in the <tt>smbpasswd(5)</tt> file. There are several
disadvantages to this approach for sites with very large numbers of users (counted
in the thousands).
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
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 large sites. What is needed is an indexed approach
such as is used in databases.
</p></li><li><p>
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 <b>rsync(1)</b> and <b>ssh(1)</b>
and wrote custom, in-house scripts.
</p></li><li><p>
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).
</p></li></ul></div><p>
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).
</p><p>
There are a few points to stress about that the ldapsam
does not provide. The LDAP support referred to in the this documentation does not
include:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>A means of retrieving user account information from
an Windows 2000 Active Directory server.</p></li><li><p>A means of replacing /etc/passwd.</p></li></ul></div><p>
The second item can be accomplished by using LDAP NSS and PAM modules. LGPL
versions of these libraries can be obtained from PADL Software
(<a href="http://www.padl.com/" target="_top">http://www.padl.com/</a>). More
information about the configuration of these packages may be found at "LDAP,
System Administration; Gerald Carter, O'Reilly; Chapter 6: Replacing NIS".
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2866860"></a>Supported LDAP Servers</h3></div></div><p>
The LDAP samdb code in 2.2.3 (and later) 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.

Samba 3.0 includes the necessary schema file for OpenLDAP 2.0 in
<tt>examples/LDAP/samba.schema</tt>. The sambaAccount objectclass is given here:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
objectclass ( 1.3.1.5.1.4.1.7165.2.2.2 NAME 'sambaAccount' SUP top AUXILIARY
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 ))
</pre><p>
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 <a href="mailto:jerry@samba.org" target="_top">jerry@samba.org</a>
</p><p>
Just as the smbpasswd file is meant to store information which supplements a
user's <tt>/etc/passwd</tt> entry, so is the sambaAccount object
meant to supplement the UNIX user account information. A sambaAccount is a
<tt>STRUCTURAL</tt> 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.
</p><p>
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.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2867008"></a>Configuring Samba with LDAP</h3></div></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2867016"></a>OpenLDAP configuration</h4></div></div><p>
To include support for the sambaAccount object in an OpenLDAP directory
server, first copy the samba.schema file to slapd's configuration directory.
</p><p>
<tt>root# </tt><b><tt>cp samba.schema /etc/openldap/schema/</tt></b>
</p><p>
Next, include the <tt>samba.schema</tt> file in <tt>slapd.conf</tt>.
The sambaAccount object contains two attributes which depend upon other schema
files. The 'uid' attribute is defined in <tt>cosine.schema</tt> and
the 'displayName' attribute is defined in the <tt>inetorgperson.schema</tt>
file. Both of these must be included before the <tt>samba.schema</tt> file.
</p><pre class="programlisting">

</pre><p>
It is recommended that you maintain some indices on some of the most usefull attributes,

These are described in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html" target="_top">smb.conf(5)</a> man

use with an LDAP directory could appear as
</p><pre class="programlisting">

</pre></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2867304"></a>Accounts and Groups management</h3></div></div><p>
As users accounts are managed thru the sambaAccount objectclass, you should
modify your existing administration tools to deal with sambaAccount attributes.
</p><p>
Machines accounts are managed with the sambaAccount objectclass, just
like users accounts. However, it's up to you to store 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).
</p><p>
In Samba release 3.0, the group management system is based on posix
groups. This means that Samba makes usage of the posixGroup objectclass.
For now, there is no NT-like group system management (global and local
groups).
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2867341"></a>Security and sambaAccount</h3></div></div><p>
There are two important points to remember when discussing the security
of sambaAccount entries in the directory.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Never</em></span> retrieve the lmPassword or
ntPassword attribute values over an unencrypted LDAP session.</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Never</em></span> allow non-admin users to
view the lmPassword or ntPassword attribute values.</p></li></ul></div><p>
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 <a href="#passdb" title="Chapter 10. User information database">User Database</a> of the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.
</p><p>
To remedy the first security issue, the "ldap ssl" smb.conf parameter defaults
to require an encrypted session (<b>ldap ssl = on</b>) 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
(<b>ldap ssl = off</b>).
</p><p>
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.
</p><p>
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 <tt>slapd.conf</tt>:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
## 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
</pre></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2867456"></a>LDAP specials attributes for sambaAccounts</h3></div></div><p>
The sambaAccount objectclass is composed of the following attributes:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><tt>lmPassword</tt>: the LANMAN password 16-byte hash stored as a character
representation of a hexidecimal string.</p></li><li><p><tt>ntPassword</tt>: the NT password hash 16-byte stored as a character
representation of a hexidecimal string.</p></li><li><p><tt>pwdLastSet</tt>: The integer time in seconds since 1970 when the
<tt>lmPassword</tt> and <tt>ntPassword</tt> attributes were last set.
</p></li><li><p><tt>acctFlags</tt>: string of 11 characters surrounded by square brackets []

D(disabled).</p></li><li><p><tt>logonTime</tt>: Integer value currently unused</p></li><li><p><tt>logoffTime</tt>: Integer value currently unused</p></li><li><p><tt>kickoffTime</tt>: Integer value currently unused</p></li><li><p><tt>pwdCanChange</tt>: Integer value currently unused</p></li><li><p><tt>pwdMustChange</tt>: Integer value currently unused</p></li><li><p><tt>homeDrive</tt>: 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.</p></li><li><p><tt>scriptPath</tt>: 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.</p></li><li><p><tt>profilePath</tt>: 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.</p></li><li><p><tt>smbHome</tt>: 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.
</p></li><li><p><tt>userWorkstation</tt>: character string value currently unused.
</p></li><li><p><tt>rid</tt>: the integer representation of the user's relative identifier
(RID).</p></li><li><p><tt>primaryGroupID</tt>: the relative identifier (RID) of the primary group
of the user.</p></li></ul></div><p>
The majority of these parameters are only used when Samba is acting as a PDC of
a domain (refer to the <a href="Samba-PDC-HOWTO.html" target="_top">Samba-PDC-HOWTO</a> 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:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>smbHome</p></li><li><p>scriptPath</p></li><li><p>logonPath</p></li><li><p>homeDrive</p></li></ul></div><p>
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 <b>logon home = \\%L\%u</b> was defined in
its <tt>smb.conf</tt> file. When a user named "becky" logons to the domain,
the <i><tt>logon home</tt></i> 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 <i><tt>logon home</tt></i> parameter is used in its place. Samba
will only write the attribute value to the directory entry if the value is
something other than the default (e.g. \\MOBY\becky).

All access to Unix/Linux system file via Samba is controlled at
the operating system file access control level. When trying to
figure out file access problems it is vitally important to identify
the identity of the Windows user as it is presented by Samba at
the point of file access. This can best be determined from the
Samba log files.
</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2864937"></a>How to view file security on a Samba share</h2></div></div><p>From an NT4/2000/XP client, single-click with the right
mouse button on any file or directory in a Samba mounted
drive letter or UNC path. When the menu pops-up, click
on the <span class="emphasis"><em>Properties</em></span> entry at the bottom of
the menu. This brings up the file properties dialog
box. Click on the tab <span class="emphasis"><em>Security</em></span> and you
will see three buttons, <span class="emphasis"><em>Permissions</em></span>,
<span class="emphasis"><em>Auditing</em></span>, and <span class="emphasis"><em>Ownership</em></span>.
The <span class="emphasis"><em>Auditing</em></span> button will cause either
an error message A requested privilege is not held
by the client to appear if the user is not the
NT Administrator, or a dialog which is intended to allow an
Administrator to add auditing requirements to a file if the
user is logged on as the NT Administrator. This dialog is
non-functional with a Samba share at this time, as the only
useful button, the <b>Add</b> button will not currently
allow a list of users to be seen.</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2868280"></a>Viewing file ownership</h2></div></div><p>Clicking on the <b>"Ownership"</b> button
brings up a dialog box telling you who owns the given file. The
owner name will be of the form :</p><p><b>"SERVER\user (Long name)"</b></p><p>Where <i><tt>SERVER</tt></i> is the NetBIOS name of
the Samba server, <i><tt>user</tt></i> is the user name of
the UNIX user who owns the file, and <i><tt>(Long name)</tt></i>
is the descriptive string identifying the user (normally found in the
GECOS field of the UNIX password database). Click on the <b>Close
</b> button to remove this dialog.</p><p>If the parameter <i><tt>nt acl support</tt></i>
is set to <tt>false</tt> then the file owner will
be shown as the NT user <b>"Everyone"</b>.</p><p>The <b>Take Ownership</b> button will not allow
you to change the ownership of this file to yourself (clicking on
it will display a dialog box complaining that the user you are
currently logged onto the NT client cannot be found). The reason
for this is that changing the ownership of a file is a privileged
operation in UNIX, available only to the <span class="emphasis"><em>root</em></span>
user. As clicking on this button causes NT to attempt to change
the ownership of a file to the current user logged into the NT
client this will not work with Samba at this time.</p><p>There is an NT chown command that will work with Samba
and allow a user with Administrator privilege connected
to a Samba server as root to change the ownership of
files on both a local NTFS filesystem or remote mounted NTFS
or Samba drive. This is available as part of the <span class="emphasis"><em>Seclib
</em></span> NT security library written by Jeremy Allison of
the Samba Team, available from the main Samba ftp site.</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2868401"></a>Viewing file or directory permissions</h2></div></div><p>The third button is the <b>"Permissions"</b>
button. Clicking on this brings up a dialog box that shows both
the permissions and the UNIX owner of the file or directory.
The owner is displayed in the form :</p><p><b>"SERVER\user (Long name)"</b></p><p>Where <i><tt>SERVER</tt></i> is the NetBIOS name of
the Samba server, <i><tt>user</tt></i> is the user name of
the UNIX user who owns the file, and <i><tt>(Long name)</tt></i>
is the descriptive string identifying the user (normally found in the
GECOS field of the UNIX password database).</p><p>If the parameter <i><tt>nt acl support</tt></i>
is set to <tt>false</tt> then the file owner will
be shown as the NT user <b>"Everyone"</b> and the
permissions will be shown as NT "Full Control".</p><p>The permissions field is displayed differently for files
and directories, so I'll describe the way file permissions
are displayed first.</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2868484"></a>File Permissions</h3></div></div><p>The standard UNIX user/group/world triple and
the corresponding "read", "write", "execute" permissions
triples are mapped by Samba into a three element NT ACL
with the 'r', 'w', and 'x' bits mapped into the corresponding
NT permissions. The UNIX world permissions are mapped into
the global NT group <b>Everyone</b>, followed
by the list of permissions allowed for UNIX world. The UNIX
owner and group permissions are displayed as an NT
<b>user</b> icon and an NT <b>local
group</b> icon respectively followed by the list
of permissions allowed for the UNIX user and group.</p><p>As many UNIX permission sets don't map into common
NT names such as <b>"read"</b>, <b>
"change"</b> or <b>"full control"</b> then
usually the permissions will be prefixed by the words <b>
"Special Access"</b> in the NT display list.</p><p>But what happens if the file has no permissions allowed
for a particular UNIX user group or world component ? In order
to allow "no permissions" to be seen and modified then Samba
overloads the NT <b>"Take Ownership"</b> ACL attribute
(which has no meaning in UNIX) and reports a component with
no permissions as having the NT <b>"O"</b> bit set.
This was chosen of course to make it look like a zero, meaning
zero permissions. More details on the decision behind this will
be given below.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2868587"></a>Directory Permissions</h3></div></div><p>Directories on an NT NTFS file system have two
different sets of permissions. The first set of permissions
is the ACL set on the directory itself, this is usually displayed
in the first set of parentheses in the normal <b>"RW"</b>
NT style. This first set of permissions is created by Samba in
exactly the same way as normal file permissions are, described
above, and is displayed in the same way.</p><p>The second set of directory permissions has no real meaning
in the UNIX permissions world and represents the <b>
"inherited"</b> permissions that any file created within
this directory would inherit.</p><p>Samba synthesises these inherited permissions for NT by
returning as an NT ACL the UNIX permission mode that a new file
created by Samba on this share would receive.</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2868637"></a>Modifying file or directory permissions</h2></div></div><p>Modifying file and directory permissions is as simple
as changing the displayed permissions in the dialog box, and
clicking the <b>OK</b> button. However, there are
limitations that a user needs to be aware of, and also interactions
with the standard Samba permission masks and mapping of DOS
attributes that need to also be taken into account.</p><p>If the parameter <i><tt>nt acl support</tt></i>
is set to <tt>false</tt> then any attempt to set
security permissions will fail with an <b>"Access Denied"
</b> message.</p><p>The first thing to note is that the <b>"Add"</b>
button will not return a list of users in Samba (it will give
an error message of <b>"The remote procedure call failed
and did not execute"</b>). This means that you can only
manipulate the current user/group/world permissions listed in
the dialog box. This actually works quite well as these are the
only permissions that UNIX actually has.</p><p>If a permission triple (either user, group, or world)
is removed from the list of permissions in the NT dialog box,
then when the <b>"OK"</b> button is pressed it will
be applied as "no permissions" on the UNIX side. If you then
view the permissions again the "no permissions" entry will appear
as the NT <b>"O"</b> flag, as described above. This
allows you to add permissions back to a file or directory once
you have removed them from a triple component.</p><p>As UNIX supports only the "r", "w" and "x" bits of
an NT ACL then if other NT security attributes such as "Delete
access" are selected then they will be ignored when applied on
the Samba server.</p><p>When setting permissions on a directory the second
set of permissions (in the second set of parentheses) is
by default applied to all files within that directory. If this
is not what you want you must uncheck the <b>"Replace
permissions on existing files"</b> checkbox in the NT
dialog before clicking <b>"OK"</b>.</p><p>If you wish to remove all permissions from a
user/group/world component then you may either highlight the
component and click the <b>"Remove"</b> button,
or set the component to only have the special <b>"Take
Ownership"</b> permission (displayed as <b>"O"
</b>) highlighted.</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2868797"></a>Interaction with the standard Samba create mask
parameters</h2></div></div><p>There are four parameters
to control interaction with the standard Samba create mask parameters.
These are :</p><p><i><tt>security mask</tt></i></p><p><i><tt>force security mode</tt></i></p><p><i><tt>directory security mask</tt></i></p><p><i><tt>force directory security mode</tt></i></p><p>Once a user clicks <b>"OK"</b> to apply the
permissions Samba maps the given permissions into a user/group/world
r/w/x triple set, and then will check the changed permissions for a
file against the bits set in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#SECURITYMASK" target="_top">
<i><tt>security mask</tt></i></a> parameter. Any bits that
were changed that are not set to '1' in this parameter are left alone
in the file permissions.</p><p>Essentially, zero bits in the <i><tt>security mask</tt></i>
mask may be treated as a set of bits the user is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span>
allowed to change, and one bits are those the user is allowed to change.
</p><p>If not set explicitly this parameter is set to the same value as
the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#CREATEMASK" target="_top"><i><tt>create mask
</tt></i></a> parameter. To allow a user to modify all the
user/group/world permissions on a file, set this parameter
to 0777.</p><p>Next Samba checks the changed permissions for a file against
the bits set in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#FORCESECURITYMODE" target="_top">
<i><tt>force security mode</tt></i></a> parameter. Any bits
that were changed that correspond to bits set to '1' in this parameter
are forced to be set.</p><p>Essentially, bits set in the <i><tt>force security mode
</tt></i> parameter may be treated as a set of bits that, when
modifying security on a file, the user has always set to be 'on'.</p><p>If not set explicitly this parameter is set to the same value
as the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#FORCECREATEMODE" target="_top"><i><tt>force
create mode</tt></i></a> parameter.
To allow a user to modify all the user/group/world permissions on a file
with no restrictions set this parameter to 000.</p><p>The <i><tt>security mask</tt></i> and <i><tt>force
security mode</tt></i> parameters are applied to the change
request in that order.</p><p>For a directory Samba will perform the same operations as
described above for a file except using the parameter <i><tt>
directory security mask</tt></i> instead of <i><tt>security
mask</tt></i>, and <i><tt>force directory security mode
</tt></i> parameter instead of <i><tt>force security mode
</tt></i>.</p><p>The <i><tt>directory security mask</tt></i> parameter
by default is set to the same value as the <i><tt>directory mask
</tt></i> parameter and the <i><tt>force directory security
mode</tt></i> parameter by default is set to the same value as
the <i><tt>force directory mode</tt></i> parameter. </p><p>In this way Samba enforces the permission restrictions that
an administrator can set on a Samba share, whilst still allowing users
to modify the permission bits within that restriction.</p><p>If you want to set up a share that allows users full control
in modifying the permission bits on their files and directories and
doesn't force any particular bits to be set 'on', then set the following
parameters in the <tt>smb.conf</tt> file in that share specific section :</p><p><i><tt>security mask = 0777</tt></i></p><p><i><tt>force security mode = 0</tt></i></p><p><i><tt>directory security mask = 0777</tt></i></p><p><i><tt>force directory security mode = 0</tt></i></p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2869113"></a>Interaction with the standard Samba file attribute
mapping</h2></div></div><p>Samba maps some of the DOS attribute bits (such as "read
only") into the UNIX permissions of a file. This means there can
be a conflict between the permission bits set via the security
dialog and the permission bits set by the file attribute mapping.
</p><p>One way this can show up is if a file has no UNIX read access
for the owner it will show up as "read only" in the standard
file attributes tabbed dialog. Unfortunately this dialog is
the same one that contains the security info in another tab.</p><p>What this can mean is that if the owner changes the permissions
to allow themselves read access using the security dialog, clicks
<b>"OK"</b> to get back to the standard attributes tab
dialog, and then clicks <b>"OK"</b> on that dialog, then
NT will set the file permissions back to read-only (as that is what
the attributes still say in the dialog). This means that after setting
permissions and clicking <b>"OK"</b> to get back to the
attributes dialog you should always hit <b>"Cancel"</b>
rather than <b>"OK"</b> to ensure that your changes
are not overridden.</p></div></div><div class="chapter" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title"><a name="groupmapping"></a>Chapter 12. Configuring Group Mapping</h2></div><div><div class="author"><h3 class="author">Jean François Micouleau</h3></div></div><div><div class="author"><h3 class="author">Gerald (Jerry) Carter</h3><div class="affiliation"><span class="orgname">Samba Team<br></span><div class="address"><p><tt><<a href="mailto:jerry@samba.org">jerry@samba.org</a>></tt></p></div></div></div></div></div><p>
Starting with Samba 3.0 alpha 2, new group mapping functionality
is available to create associations between Windows SIDs and UNIX
groups. The <i><tt>groupmap</tt></i> subcommand included with
the <b>net</b> tool can be used to manage these associations.
</p><p>
The first immediate reason to use the group mapping on a Samba PDC, is that
the <i><tt>domain admin group</tt></i> <tt>smb.conf</tt> has been removed.
This parameter was used to give the listed users membership in the "Domain Admins"
Windows group which gave local admin rights on their workstations (in
default configurations).
</p><p>
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'.
</p><p>
When a NT/W2K machine is joined to a domain, the "Domain Adminis" group of the
PDC is added to the local 'Administrators' group of the workstation. Every
member of the 'Domain Administrators' group 'inherit' the
rights of the local 'Administrators' group when logging on the workstation.
</p><p>
The following steps describe how to make samba PDC users members of the
'Domain Admins' group?
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>create a unix group (usually in <tt>/etc/group</tt>),
let's call it domadm</p></li><li><p>add to this group the users that must be Administrators. For example
if you want joe,john and mary, your entry in <tt>/etc/group</tt> will
look like:</p><pre class="programlisting">
domadm:x:502:joe,john,mary
</pre></li><li><p>Map this domadm group to the "Domain Admins" group
by running the command:</p><p><tt>root# </tt><b><tt>net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadm</tt></b></p><p>The quotes around "Domain Admins" are necessary due to the space in the group name. Also make
sure to leave no whitespace surrounding the equal character (=).</p></li></ol></div><p>Now joe, john and mary are domain administrators!</p><p>
It is possible to map any arbitrary UNIX group to any Windows NT
group as well as making any UNIX group a Windows domain group.
For example, if you wanted to include a UNIX group (e.g. acct) in a ACL on a
local file or printer on a domain member machine, you would flag
that group as a domain group by running the following on the Samba PDC:
</p><p><tt>root# </tt><b><tt>net groupmap add rid=1000 ntgroup="Accounting" unixgroup=acct</tt></b></p><p>Be aware that the rid parmeter is a unsigned 32 bit integer that should
normally start at 1000. However, this rid must not overlap with any RID assigned
to a user. Verifying this is done differently depending on on the passdb backend
you are using. Future versions of the tools may perform the verification automatically,
but for now the burden in on you.</p><p>You can list the various groups in the mapping database by executing
<b>net groupmap list</b>. Here is an example:</p><pre class="programlisting"><tt>root# </tt>net groupmap list
System Administrators (S-1-5-21-2547222302-1596225915-2414751004-1002) -> sysadmin

the native Windows NT printing mechanisms implemented via
MS-RPC (i.e. the SPOOLSS named pipe). Previous versions of
Samba only supported LanMan printing calls.</p><p>The additional functionality provided by the new
SPOOLSS support includes:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Support for downloading printer driver
files to Windows 95/98/NT/2000 clients upon demand.
</p></li><li><p>Uploading of printer drivers via the
Windows NT Add Printer Wizard (APW) or the
Imprints tool set (refer to <a href="http://imprints.sourceforge.net" target="_top">http://imprints.sourceforge.net</a>).
</p></li><li><p>Support for the native MS-RPC printing
calls such as StartDocPrinter, EnumJobs(), etc... (See
the MSDN documentation at <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/" target="_top">http://msdn.microsoft.com/</a>
for more information on the Win32 printing API)

on printer objects</p></li><li><p>Improved support for printer queue manipulation
through the use of an internal databases for spooled job
information</p></li></ul></div><p>
There has been some initial confusion about what all this means
and whether or not it is a requirement for printer drivers to be
installed on a Samba host in order to support printing from Windows
clients. As a side note, Samba does not use these drivers in any way to process
spooled files. They are utilized entirely by the clients.
</p><p>
The following MS KB article, may be of some help if you are dealing with
Windows 2000 clients: <span class="emphasis"><em>How to Add Printers with No User
Interaction in Windows 2000</em></span>
</p><p>
<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q189/1/05.ASP" target="_top">http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q189/1/05.ASP</a>

Previous versions of Samba recommended using a share named [printer$].
This name was taken from the printer$ service created by Windows 9x
clients when a printer was shared. Windows 9x printer servers always have
a printer$ service which provides read-only access via no
password in order to support printer driver downloads.
</p><p>
However, the initial implementation allowed for a
parameter named <i><tt>printer driver location</tt></i>
to be used on a per share basis to specify the location of
the driver files associated with that printer. Another
parameter named <i><tt>printer driver</tt></i> provided
a means of defining the printer driver name to be sent to
the client.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2869661"></a>Creating [print$]</h3></div></div><p>
In order to support the uploading of printer driver
files, you must first configure a file share named [print$].
The name of this share is hard coded in Samba's internals so
the name is very important (print$ is the service used by
Windows NT print servers to provide support for printer driver
download).
</p><p>You should modify the server's smb.conf file to add the global
parameters and to create the
following file share (of course, some of the parameter values,
such as 'path' are arbitrary and should be replaced with
appropriate values for your site):</p><pre class="programlisting">
[global]
; members of the ntadmin group should be able
; to add drivers and set printer properties
; root is implicitly a 'printer admin'
printer admin = @ntadmin
[print$]
path = /usr/local/samba/printers
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
read only = yes
; since this share is configured as read only, then we need
; a 'write list'. Check the file system permissions to make
; sure this account can copy files to the share. If this
; is setup to a non-root account, then it should also exist
; as a 'printer admin'
write list = @ntadmin,root
</pre><p>The <a href="smb.conf.5.html#WRITELIST" target="_top"><i><tt>
write list</tt></i></a> is used to allow administrative
level user accounts to have write access in order to update files
on the share. See the <a href="smb.conf.5.html" target="_top">smb.conf(5)
man page</a> for more information on configuring file shares.</p><p>The requirement for <a href="smb.conf.5.html#GUESTOK" target="_top"><b>guest

site is configured. If users will be guaranteed to have
an account on the Samba host, then this is a non-issue.</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Author's Note</h3><p>
The non-issue is that if all your Windows NT users are guaranteed to be
authenticated by the Samba server (such as a domain member server and the NT
user has already been validated by the Domain Controller in
order to logon to the Windows NT console), then guest access
is not necessary. Of course, in a workgroup environment where
you just want to be able to print without worrying about
silly accounts and security, then configure the share for
guest access. You'll probably want to add <a href="smb.conf.5.html#MAPTOGUEST" target="_top"><b>map to guest = Bad User

you understand what this parameter does before using it

Of course, the connected account must still possess access
to add files to the subdirectories beneath [print$]. Remember
that all file shares are set to 'read only' by default.
</p></div><p>
Once you have created the required [print$] service and
associated subdirectories, simply log onto the Samba server using
a root (or <i><tt>printer admin</tt></i>) account
from a Windows NT 4.0/2k client. Open "Network Neighbourhood" or
"My Network Places" and browse for the Samba host. Once you have located
the server, navigate to the "Printers..." folder.
You should see an initial listing of printers
that matches the printer shares defined on your Samba host.

Printers folder will have no real printer driver assigned
to them. This defaults to a NULL string to allow the use
of the local Add Printer Wizard on NT/2000 clients.
Attempting to view the printer properties for a printer
which has this default driver assigned will result in
the error message:</p><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Device settings cannot be displayed. The driver

</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Use the "New Driver..." button to install

on a Windows NT print server to have printers
listed in the Printers folder which are not shared. Samba does
not make this distinction. By definition, the only printers of
which Samba is aware are those which are specified as shares in
<tt>smb.conf</tt>.</p><p>Another interesting side note is that Windows NT clients do
not use the SMB printer share, but rather can print directly
to any printer on another Windows NT host using MS-RPC. This
of course assumes that the printing client has the necessary
privileges on the remote host serving the printer. The default
permissions assigned by Windows NT to a printer gives the "Print"
permissions to the "Everyone" well-known group.

Windows NT/2000 print servers associate a port with each printer. These normally
take the form of LPT1:, COM1:, FILE:, etc... Samba must also support the
concept of ports associated with a printer. By default, only one printer port,
named "Samba Printer Port", exists on a system. Samba does not really a port in
order to print, rather it is a requirement of Windows clients.
</p><p>
Note that Samba does not support the concept of "Printer Pooling" internally
either. This is when a logical printer is assigned to multiple ports as
a form of load balancing or fail over.
</p><p>
If you require that multiple ports be defined for some reason,
<tt>smb.conf</tt> possesses a <a href="smb.conf.5.html#ENUMPORTSCOMMAND" target="_top"><i><tt>enumports

name. This is ok as Windows NT always requires that at least
the Windows NT version of the printer driver is present.
However, Samba does not have the requirement internally.
Therefore, how can you use the NT driver name if is has not
already been installed?</p><p>The way of sidestepping this limitation is to require
that all Imprints printer driver packages include both the Intel

This is a short description of how to debug printing problems with
Samba. This describes how to debug problems with printing from a SMB
client to a Samba server, not the other way around. For the reverse
see the examples/printing directory.
</p><p>
Ok, so you want to print to a Samba server from your PC. The first
thing you need to understand is that Samba does not actually do any
printing itself, it just acts as a middleman between your PC client
and your Unix printing subsystem. Samba receives the file from the PC
then passes the file to a external "print command". What print command
you use is up to you.
</p><p>
The whole things is controlled using options in smb.conf. The most
relevant options (which you should look up in the smb.conf man page)
are:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
[global]
print command - send a file to a spooler
lpq command - get spool queue status
lprm command - remove a job
[printers]
path = /var/spool/lpd/samba
</pre><p>
The following are nice to know about:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
queuepause command - stop a printer or print queue
queueresume command - start a printer or print queue
</pre><p>
Example:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s
lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p %s
lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p stop
queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p start
</pre><p>
Samba should set reasonable defaults for these depending on your
system type, but it isn't clairvoyant. It is not uncommon that you
have to tweak these for local conditions. The commands should
always have fully specified pathnames, as the smdb may not have
the correct PATH values.
</p><p>
When you send a job to Samba to be printed, it will make a temporary
copy of it in the directory specified in the [printers] section.
and it should be periodically cleaned out. The lpr -r option
requests that the temporary copy be removed after printing; If
printing fails then you might find leftover files in this directory,
and it should be periodically cleaned out. Samba used the lpq
command to determine the "job number" assigned to your print job
by the spooler.
</p><p>
The %>letter< are "macros" that get dynamically replaced with appropriate
values when they are used. The %s gets replaced with the name of the spool
file that Samba creates and the %p gets replaced with the name of the
printer. The %j gets replaced with the "job number" which comes from
the lpq output.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2870552"></a>Debugging printer problems</h3></div></div><p>
One way to debug printing problems is to start by replacing these
command with shell scripts that record the arguments and the contents
of the print file. A simple example of this kind of things might
be:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
print command = /tmp/saveprint %p %s
#!/bin/saveprint
# we make sure that we are the right user
/usr/bin/id -p >/tmp/tmp.print
# we run the command and save the error messages
# replace the command with the one appropriate for your system
/usr/bin/lpr -r -P$1 $2 2>>&/tmp/tmp.print
</pre><p>
Then you print a file and try removing it. You may find that the
print queue needs to be stopped in order to see the queue status
and remove the job:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
h4: {42} % echo hi >/tmp/hi
h4: {43} % smbclient //localhost/lw4
added interface ip=10.0.0.4 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Domain=[ASTART] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.7]
smb: \> print /tmp/hi
putting file /tmp/hi as hi-17534 (0.0 kb/s) (average 0.0 kb/s)
smb: \> queue
1049 3 hi-17534
smb: \> cancel 1049
Error cancelling job 1049 : code 0
smb: \> cancel 1049
Job 1049 cancelled
smb: \> queue
smb: \> exit
</pre><p>
The 'code 0' indicates that the job was removed. The comment
by the smbclient is a bit misleading on this.
You can observe the command output and then and look at the
/tmp/tmp.print file to see what the results are. You can quickly
find out if the problem is with your printing system. Often people
have problems with their /etc/printcap file or permissions on
various print queues.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2870619"></a>What printers do I have?</h3></div></div><p>
You can use the 'testprns' program to check to see if the printer
name you are using is recognized by Samba. For example, you can
use:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
testprns printer /etc/printcap
</pre><p>
Samba can get its printcap information from a file or from a program.
You can try the following to see the format of the extracted
information:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
testprns -a printer /etc/printcap
testprns -a printer '|/bin/cat printcap'
</pre></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2870661"></a>Setting up printcap and print servers</h3></div></div><p>
You may need to set up some printcaps for your Samba system to use.
It is strongly recommended that you use the facilities provided by
the print spooler to set up queues and printcap information.
</p><p>
Samba requires either a printcap or program to deliver printcap
information. This printcap information has the format:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
name|alias1|alias2...:option=value:...
</pre><p>
For almost all printing systems, the printer 'name' must be composed
only of alphanumeric or underscore '_' characters. Some systems also
allow hyphens ('-') as well. An alias is an alternative name for the
printer, and an alias with a space in it is used as a 'comment'
about the printer. The printcap format optionally uses a \ at the end of lines
to extend the printcap to multiple lines.
</p><p>
Here are some examples of printcap files:
</p><p>
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>
pr just printer name
</p></li><li><p>
pr|alias printer name and alias
</p></li><li><p>
pr|My Printer printer name, alias used as comment
</p></li><li><p>
pr:sh:\ Same as pr:sh:cm= testing
:cm= \
testing
</p></li><li><p>
pr:sh Same as pr:sh:cm= testing
:cm= testing
</p></li></ol></div><p>
</p><p>
Samba reads the printcap information when first started. If you make
changes in the printcap information, then you must do the following:
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>
make sure that the print spooler is aware of these changes.
The LPRng system uses the 'lpc reread' command to do this.
</p></li><li><p>
make sure that the spool queues, etc., exist and have the
correct permissions. The LPRng system uses the 'checkpc -f'
command to do this.
</p></li><li><p>
You now should send a SIGHUP signal to the smbd server to have
it reread the printcap information.
</p></li></ol></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2870795"></a>Job sent, no output</h3></div></div><p>
This is the most frustrating part of printing. You may have sent the
job, verified that the job was forwarded, set up a wrapper around
the command to send the file, but there was no output from the printer.
</p><p>
First, check to make sure that the job REALLY is getting to the
right print queue. If you are using a BSD or LPRng print spooler,
you can temporarily stop the printing of jobs. Jobs can still be
submitted, but they will not be printed. Use:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
lpc -Pprinter stop
</pre><p>
Now submit a print job and then use 'lpq -Pprinter' to see if the
job is in the print queue. If it is not in the print queue then
you will have to find out why it is not being accepted for printing.
</p><p>
Next, you may want to check to see what the format of the job really
was. With the assistance of the system administrator you can view
the submitted jobs files. You may be surprised to find that these
are not in what you would expect to call a printable format.
You can use the UNIX 'file' utitily to determine what the job
format actually is:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
cd /var/spool/lpd/printer # spool directory of print jobs
ls # find job files
file dfA001myhost
</pre><p>
You should make sure that your printer supports this format OR that
your system administrator has installed a 'print filter' that will
convert the file to a format appropriate for your printer.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2871344"></a>Job sent, strange output</h3></div></div><p>
Once you have the job printing, you can then start worrying about
making it print nicely.
</p><p>
The most common problem is extra pages of output: banner pages
OR blank pages at the end.
</p><p>
If you are getting banner pages, check and make sure that the
printcap option or printer option is configured for no banners.
If you have a printcap, this is the :sh (suppress header or banner
page) option. You should have the following in your printer.
</p><pre class="programlisting">
printer: ... :sh
</pre><p>
If you have this option and are still getting banner pages, there
is a strong chance that your printer is generating them for you
automatically. You should make sure that banner printing is disabled
for the printer. This usually requires using the printer setup software
or procedures supplied by the printer manufacturer.
</p><p>
If you get an extra page of output, this could be due to problems
with your job format, or if you are generating PostScript jobs,
incorrect setting on your printer driver on the MicroSoft client.
For example, under Win95 there is a option:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
Printers|Printer Name|(Right Click)Properties|Postscript|Advanced|
</pre><p>
that allows you to choose if a Ctrl-D is appended to all jobs.
This is a very bad thing to do, as most spooling systems will
automatically add a ^D to the end of the job if it is detected as
PostScript. The multiple ^D may cause an additional page of output.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2871420"></a>Raw PostScript printed</h3></div></div><p>
This is a problem that is usually caused by either the print spooling
system putting information at the start of the print job that makes
the printer think the job is a text file, or your printer simply
does not support PostScript. You may need to enable 'Automatic
Format Detection' on your printer.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2871438"></a>Advanced Printing</h3></div></div><p>
Note that you can do some pretty magic things by using your
imagination with the "print command" option and some shell scripts.
Doing print accounting is easy by passing the %U option to a print
command shell script. You could even make the print command detect
the type of output and its size and send it to an appropriate

The Common Unix Print System (CUPS) has become very popular, but to many it is
a very mystical tool. There is a great deal of uncertainty regarding CUPS and how
it works. The result is seen in a large number of posting on the samba mailing lists
expressing frustration when MS Windows printers appear not to work with a CUPS
backr-end.
</p><p>
This is a good time to point out how CUPS can be used and what it does. CUPS is more
than just a print spooling system - it is a complete printer management system that
complies with HTTP and IPP protocols. It can be managed remotely via a web browser
and it can print using http and ipp protocols.
</p><p>
CUPS allows to creation of RAW printers (ie: NO file format translation) as well as
SMART printers (ie: CUPS does file format conversion as required for the printer). In
many ways this gives CUPS similar capabilities to the MS Windows print monitoring
system. Of course, if you are a CUPS advocate, you would agrue that CUPS is better!
In any case, let us now move on to explore how one may configure CUPS for interfacing
with MS Windows print clients via Samba.
</p><p>
<a href="http://www.cups.org/" target="_top">CUPS</a> is a newcomer in the UNIX printing scene,
which has convinced many people upon first trial already. However, it has quite a few
new features, which make it different from other, more traditional printing systems.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2871067"></a>Configuring <tt>smb.conf</tt> for CUPS</h2></div></div><p>
Printing with CUPS in the most basic <tt>smb.conf</tt>
setup in Samba-3 only needs two settings: <b>printing = cups</b> and
<b>printcap = cups</b>. While CUPS itself doesn't need a printcap
anymore, the <tt>cupsd.conf</tt> configuration file knows two directives
(example: <b>Printcap /etc/printcap</b> and <b>PrintcapFormat
BSD</b>), which control if such a file should be created for the
convenience of third party applications. Make sure it is set! For details see
<b>man cupsd.conf</b> and other CUPS-related documentation.
</p><p>
If SAMBA is compiled against libcups, then <b>printcap = cups</b> uses the
CUPS API to list printers, submit jobs, etc. Otherwise it maps to the System V commands
with an additional <i><tt>-oraw</tt></i> option for printing. On a Linux system,
you can use the <b>ldd</b> command to find out details (ldd may not be
present on other OS platforms, or its function may be embodied by a different command):
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">transmeta:/home/kurt # ldd `which smbd`
libssl.so.0.9.6 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6 (0x4002d000)
libcrypto.so.0.9.6 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6 (0x4005a000)
libcups.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcups.so.2 (0x40123000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x401e8000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x401ec000)
libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x40202000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4020b000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
</pre><p>
The line "libcups.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcups.so.2
(0x40123000)" shows there is CUPS support compiled into this version of
Samba. If this is the case, and <b>printing = cups</b> is set, then any
otherwise manually set print command in <tt>smb.conf</tt> is ignored.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2871607"></a>CUPS - RAW Print Through Mode</h2></div></div><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
When used in raw print through mode is will be necessary to use the printer
vendor's drivers in each Windows client PC.
</p></div><p>
When CUPS printers are configured for RAW print-through mode operation it is the
responsibility of the Samba client to fully render the print job (file) in a format
that is suitable for direct delivery to the printer. In this case CUPS will NOT
do any print file format conversion work.
</p><p>
The CUPS files that need to be correctly set for RAW mode printers to work are:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><tt>/etc/cups/mime.types</tt></p></li><li><p><tt>/etc/cups/mime.convs</tt></p></li></ul></div><p>
Both contain entries that must be uncommented to allow <span class="emphasis"><em>RAW</em></span> mode
operation.
</p><p>
Firstly, to enable CUPS based printing from Samba the following options must be
enabled in your <tt>smb.conf</tt> file [globals] section:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>printing = CUPS</p></li><li><p>printcap = CUPS</p></li></ul></div><p>
When these parameters are specified the print directives in <tt>smb.conf</tt> (as well as in
samba itself) will be ignored because samba will directly interface with CUPS through
it's application program interface (API) - so long as Samba has been compiled with
CUPS library (libcups) support. If samba has NOT been compiled with CUPS support then
printing will use the System V AT&T command set with the <span class="emphasis"><em>-oraw</em></span>
option automatically passing through.
</p><p>
Cupsomatic (an enhanced printing utility that is part of some CUPS implementations)
on the Samba/CUPS server does *not* add any features if a file is really
printed "raw". However, if you have loaded the driver for the Windows client from
the CUPS server, using the "cupsaddsmb" utility, and if this driver is one using
a "Foomatic" PPD, the PJL header in question is already added on the Windows client,
at the time when the driver initially generated the PostScript data and CUPS in true
"-oraw" manner doesn't remove this PJL header and passes the file "as is" to its
printer communication backend.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>NOTE: editing in the "mime.convs" and the "mime.types" file does not *enforce*
"raw" printing, it only *allows* it.</p></div><p>
Print files that arrive from MS Windows printing are "auto-typed" by CUPS. This aids
the process of determining proper treatment while in the print queue system.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
Files generated by PCL drivers and directed at PCK printers get auto-typed as
<tt>application/octet-stream</tt>. Unknown file format types also
get auto-typed with this tag.
</p></li><li><p>
Files generated by a Postscript driver and directed at a Postscript printer
are auto-typed depending on the auto-detected most suitable MIME type as:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>* application/postscript</p></li><li><p>* application/vnd.cups-postscript</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p><p>
"application/postscript" first goes thru the "pstops" filter (where the page counting
and accounting takes place). The outcome will be of MIME type
"application/vnd.cups-postscript". The pstopsfilter reads and uses information from
the PPD and inserts user-provided options into the PostScript file. As a consequence,
the filtered file could possibly have an unwanted PJL header.
</p><p>
"application/postscript" will be all files with a ".ps", ".ai", ".eps" suffix or which
have as their first character string one of "%!" or ">04<%".
</p><p>
"application/vnd.cups-postscript" will files which contain the string
"LANGUAGE=POSTSCRIPT" (or similar variations with different capitalization) in the
first 512 bytes, and also contain the "PJL super escape code" in the first 128 bytes
(">1B<%-12345X"). Very likely, most PostScript files generated on Windows using a CUPS
or other PPD, will have to be auto-typed as "vnd.cups-postscript". A file produced
with a "Generic PostScript driver" will just be tagged "application/postscript".
</p><p>
Once the file is in "application/vnd.cups-postscript" format, either "pstoraster"
or "cupsomatic" will take over (depending on the printer configuration, as
determined by the PPD in use).
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
A printer queue with *no* PPD associated to it is a "raw" printer and all files
will go directly there as received by the spooler. The exeptions are file types
"application/octet-stream" which need "passthrough feature" enabled.
"Raw" queues don't do any filtering at all, they hand the file directly to the
CUPS backend. This backend is responsible for the sending of the data to the device
(as in the "device URI" notation as lpd://, socket://, smb://, ipp://, http://,
parallel:/, serial:/, usb:/ etc.)
</p></div><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
"cupsomatic"/Foomatic are *not* native CUPS drivers and they don't ship with CUPS.
They are a Third Party add-on, developed at Linuxprinting.org. As such, they are
a brilliant hack to make all models (driven by Ghostscript drivers/filters in
traditional spoolers) also work via CUPS, with the same (good or bad!) quality
as in these other spoolers. "cupsomatic" is only a vehicle to execute a ghostscript
commandline at that stage in the CUPS filtering chain, where "normally" the native
CUPS "pstoraster" filter would kick in. cupsomatic by-passes pstoraster, "kidnaps"
the printfile from CUPS away and re-directs it to go through Ghostscipt. CUPS accepts this,
because the associated CUPS-O-Matic-/Foomatic-PPD specifies:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 cupsomatic"
</pre><p>
This line persuades CUPS to hand the file to cupsomatic, once it has successfully
converted it to the MIME type "application/vnd.cups-postscript". This conversion will not
happen for Jobs arriving from Windows which are auto-typed "application/octet-stream",
with the according changes in "/etc/cups/mime.types" in place.
</p></div><p>
CUPS is widely configurable and flexible, even regarding its filtering mechanism.
Another workaround in some situations would be to have
in "/etc/cups/mime.types" entries as follows:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
application/postscript application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
application/vnd.cups-postscript application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
</pre><p>
This would prevent all Postscript files from being filtered (rather, they will go
thru the virtual "nullfilter" denoted with "-"). This could only be useful for
PS printers. If you want to print PS code on non-PS printers an entry as follows
could be useful:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
*/* application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
</pre><p>
and would effectively send *all* files to the backend without further processing.
</p><p>
Lastly, you could have the following entry:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
application/vnd.cups-postscript application/vnd.cups-raw 0 my_PJL_stripping_filter
</pre><p>
You will need to write a "my_PJL_stripping_filter" (could be a shellscript) that
parses the PostScript and removes the unwanted PJL. This would need to conform to
CUPS filter design (mainly, receive and pass the parameters printername, job-id,
username, jobtitle, copies, print options and possibly the filename). It would
be installed as world executable into "/usr/lib/cups/filters/" and will be called
by CUPS if it encounters a MIME type "application/vnd.cups-postscript".
</p><p>
CUPS can handle "-o job-hold-until=indefinite". This keeps the job in the queue
"on hold". It will only be printed upon manual release by the printer operator.
This is a requirement in many "central reproduction departments", where a few
operators manage the jobs of hundreds of users on some big machine, where no
user is allowed to have direct access. (The operators often need to load the
proper paper type before running the 10.000 page job requested by marketing
for the mailing, etc.).
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2871091"></a>CUPS as a network PostScript RIP</h2></div></div><p>
This is the configuration where CUPS drivers are working on server, and where the
Adobe PostScript driver with CUPS-PPDs is downloaded to clients.
</p><p>
CUPS is perfectly able to use PPD files (PostScript
Printer Descriptions). PPDs can control all print device options. They
are usually provided by the manufacturer -- if you own a PostSript printer,
that is. PPD files are always a component of PostScript printer drivers on MS
Windows or Apple Mac OS systems. They are ASCII files containing
user-selectable print options, mapped to appropriate PostScript, PCL or PJL
commands for the target printer. Printer driver GUI dialogs translate these
options "on-the-fly" into buttons and drop-down lists for the user to
select.
</p><p>
CUPS can load, without any conversions, the PPD file from
any Windows (NT is recommended) PostScript driver and handle the options.
There is a web browser interface to the print options (select
http://localhost:631/printers/ and click on one "Configure Printer" button
to see it), a commandline interface (see <b>man lpoptions</b> or
try if you have <b>lphelp</b> on your system) plus some different GUI frontends on Linux
UNIX, which can present PPD options to the users. PPD options are normally
meant to become evaluated by the PostScript RIP on the real PostScript
printer.
</p><p>
CUPS doesn't stop at "real" PostScript printers in its
usage of PPDs. The CUPS developers have extended the PPD concept, to also
describe available device and driver options for non-PostScript printers
through CUPS-PPDs.
</p><p>
This is logical, as CUPS includes a fully featured
PostScript interpreter (RIP). This RIP is based on Ghostscript. It can
process all received PostScript (and additionally many other file formats)
from clients. All CUPS-PPDs geared to non-PostScript printers contain an
additional line, starting with the keyword <i><tt>*cupsFilter</tt></i>.
This line
tells the CUPS print system which printer-specific filter to use for the
interpretation of the accompanying PostScript. Thus CUPS lets all its
printers appear as PostScript devices to its clients, because it can act as a
PostScript RIP for those printers, processing the received PostScript code
into a proper raster print format.
</p><p>
CUPS-PPDs can also be used on Windows-Clients, on top of a
PostScript driver (recommended is the Adobe one).
</p><p>
This feature enables CUPS to do a few tricks no other
spooler can do:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>act as a networked PostScript RIP (Raster Image Processor), handling
printfiles from all client platforms in a uniform way;</p></li><li><p>act as a central accounting and billing server, as all files are passed
through the <b>pstops</b> Filter and are therefor logged in
the CUPS <tt>page_log</tt>. - <span class="emphasis"><em>NOTE: </em></span>this
can not happen with "raw" print jobs, which always remain unfiltered
per definition;</p></li><li><p>enable clients to consolidate on a single PostScript driver, even for
many different target printers.</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2872272"></a>Windows Terminal Servers (WTS) as CUPS clients</h2></div></div><p>
This setup may be of special interest to people
experiencing major problems in WTS environments. WTS need often a multitude
of non-PostScript drivers installed to run their clients' variety of
different printer models. This often imposes the price of much increased
instability. In many cases, in an attempt to overcome this problem, site
administrators have resorted to restrict the allowed drivers installed on
their WTS to one generic PCL- and one PostScript driver. This however
restricts the clients in the amount of printer options available for them --
often they can't get out more then simplex prints from one standard paper
tray, while their devices could do much better, if driven by a different
driver!
</p><p>
Using an Adobe PostScript driver, enabled with a CUPS-PPD,
seems to be a very elegant way to overcome all these shortcomings. The
PostScript driver is not known to cause major stability problems on WTS (even
if used with many different PPDs). The clients will be able to (again) chose
paper trays, duplex printing and other settings. However, there is a certain
price for this too: a CUPS server acting as a PostScript RIP for its clients
requires more CPU and RAM than just to act as a "raw spooling" device. Plus,
this setup is not yet widely tested, although the first feedbacks look very
promising...

The <b>cupsadsmb</b> utility (shipped with all current

easy. Prior to using it, you need the following settings in <tt>smb.conf</tt>:
</p><pre class="programlisting">[global]

For licensing reasons the necessary files of the Adobe
Postscript driver can not be distributed with either Samba or CUPS. You need
to download them yourself from the Adobe website. Once extracted, create a
<tt>drivers</tt> directory in the CUPS data directory (usually
<tt>/usr/share/cups/</tt>). Copy the Adobe files using

<span class="emphasis"><em>NOTE: </em></span>the cupsomatic trick from Linuxprinting.org is
working different from the other drivers. While the other drivers take the
generic CUPS raster (produced by CUPS' own pstoraster PostScript RIP) as
their input, cupsomatic "kidnaps" the PostScript inside CUPS, before
RIP-ping, deviates it to an external Ghostscript installation (which now
becomes the RIP) and gives it back to a CUPS backend once Ghostscript is
finished. -- CUPS versions from 1.1.15 and later will provide their pstoraster
PostScript RIP function again inside a system-wide Ghostscript
installation rather than in "their own" pstoraster filter. (This
CUPS-enabling Ghostscript version may be installed either as a
patch to GNU or AFPL Ghostscript, or as a complete ESP Ghostscript package).
However, this will not change the cupsomatic approach of guiding the printjob
along a different path through the filtering system than the standard CUPS
way...

If you look closely, you'll discover your root password was transfered unencrypted over
the wire, so beware! Also, if you look further her, you'll discover error messages like
<tt>NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_COLLISION</tt> in between. They occur, because
the directories <tt>WIN40</tt> and <tt>W32X86</tt> already
existed in the [print$] driver download share (from a previous driver
installation). They are harmless here.
</p><p>
Now your printer is prepared for the clients to use. From
a client, browse to the CUPS/Samba server, open the "Printers"
share, right-click on this printer and select "Install..." or
"Connect..." (depending on the Windows version you use). Now their
should be a new printer in your client's local "Printers" folder,
named (in my case) "infotec_IS2027 on kdebitshop"

CUPS ships with good support for HP LaserJet type printers. You can install
the driver as follows:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
lpadmin -p laserjet4plus -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -E -m laserjet.ppd
</p></li></ul></div><p>
(The "-m" switch will retrieve the "laserjet.ppd" from the standard repository
for not-yet-installed-PPDs, which CUPS typically stores in
<tt>/usr/share/cups/model</tt>. Alternatively, you may use
"-P /absolute/filesystem/path/to/where/there/is/PPD/your.ppd").
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2873339"></a>Further printing steps</h3></div></div><p>
Always also consult the database on linuxprinting.org for all recommendations
about which driver is best used for each printer:
</p><p><a href="http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi" target="_top">http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi</a></p><p>
There select your model and click on "Show". You'll arrive at a page listing
all drivers working with your model. There will always be *one*
<span class="emphasis"><em>recommended</em></span> one. Try this one first. In your case
("HP LaserJet 4 Plus"), you'll arrive here:
</p><p><a href="http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=75104" target="_top">http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=75104</a></p><p>
The recommended driver is "ljet4". It has a link to the page for the ljet4
driver too:
</p><p><a href="http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=ljet4" target="_top">http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=ljet4</a></p><p>
On the driver's page, you'll find important and detailed info about how to use
that driver within the various available spoolers. You can generate a PPD for
CUPS. The PPD contains all the info about how to use your model and the driver;
this is, once installed, working transparently for the user -- you'll only
need to choose resolution, paper size etc. from the web-based menu or from
the print dialog GUI or from the commandline...
</p><p>
On the driver's page, choose to use the "PPD-O-Matic" online PPD generator
program. Select your model and click "Generate PPD file". When you safe the
appearing ASCII text file, don't use "cut'n'past" (as it could possiblly corrupt
line endings and tabs), but use "Save as..." in your browser's menu. Save it
at "/some/path/on/your/filesystem/somewhere/my-name-for-my-printer.ppd"
</p><p>
Then install the printer:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
"lpadmin -p laserjet4plus -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -E \
-P /some/path/on/your/filesystem/somewhere/my-name-for-my-printer.ppd"
</pre><p>
Note, that for all the "Foomatic-PPDs" from Linuxprinting.org, you also need
a special "CUPS filter" named "cupsomatic". Get the latest version of
"cupsomatic" from:
</p><p><a href="http://www.linuxprinting.org/cupsomatic" target="_top">http://www.linuxprinting.org/cupsomatic</a></p><p>
This needs to be copied to <tt>/usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic</tt>
and be made world executable. This filter is needed to read and act upon the
specially encoded Foomatic comments, embedded in the printfile, which in turn
are used to construct (transparently for you, the user) the complicated
ghostscript command line needed for your printer/driver combo.
</p><p>
You can have a look at all the options for the Ghostscript commandline supported
by your printer and the ljet4 driver by going to the section "Execution details",
selecting your model (Laserjet 4 Plus) and clicking on "Show execution details".
This will bring up this web page:
</p><p><a href="http://www.linuxprinting.org/execution.cgi?driver=ljet4&printer=75104&.submit=Show%2Bexecution%2Bdetails" target="_top">http://www.linuxprinting.org/execution.cgi?driver=ljet4&printer=75104&.submit=Show+execution+details</a></p><p>
The ingenious thing is that the database is kept current. If there
is a bug fix and an improvement somewhere in the database, you will
always get the most current and stable and feature-rich driver by following
the steps described above.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Till Kamppeter from MandrakeSoft is doing an excellent job here that too few
people are aware of. (So if you use it often, please send him a note showing
your appreciation).</p></div><p>
The latest and greatest improvement now is support for "custom page sizes"
for all those printers which support it.
</p><p>
"cupsomatic" is documented here:
</p><p><a href="http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html" target="_top">http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html</a></p><p>
More printing tutorial info may be found here:
</p><p><a href="http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/LinuxKongress2002/Tutorial/" target="_top">http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/LinuxKongress2002/Tutorial/</a></p><p>
Note, that *all* the Foomatic drivers listed on Linuxprinting.org (now
approaching the "all-time high" number of 1.000 for the supported models)
are using a special filtering chain involving Ghostscript, as described
in this document.
</p><p>
Summary - You need:
</p><p>
</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>A "foomatic+<i><tt>something</tt></i>" PPD is not enough to print with CUPS (but it is *one* important component)</td></tr><tr><td>The "cupsomatic" filter script (Perl) in <tt>/usr/lib/cups/filters/</tt></td></tr><tr><td>Perl to make cupsomatic run</td></tr><tr><td>Ghostscript (because it is called and controlled by the PPD/cupsomatic combo in a way to fit your printermodel/driver combo.</td></tr><tr><td>Ghostscript *must*, depending on the driver/model, contain support for a certain "device" (as shown by "gs -h")</td></tr></table><p>
</p><p>
In the case of the "hpijs" driver, you need a Ghostscript version, which
has "ijs" amongst its supported devices in "gs -h". In the case of
"hpijs+foomatic", a valid ghostscript commandline would be reading like this:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ijs \
-sIjsServer=hpijs<i><tt>PageSize</tt></i> -dDuplex=<i><tt>Duplex</tt></i> <i><tt>Model</tt></i> \
-r<i><tt>Resolution</tt></i>,PS:MediaPosition=<i><tt>InputSlot</tt></i> -dIjsUseOutputFD \
-sOutputFile=- -
</pre><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Note, that with CUPS and the "hpijs+foomatic" PPD (plus Perl and cupsomatic)
you don't need to remember this. You can choose the available print options
thru a GUI print command (like "glp" from ESP's commercially supported
PrintPro software, or KDE's "kprinter", or GNOME's "gtklp" or the independent
"xpp") or the CUPS web interface via human-readable drop-down selection
menus.
</p></div><p>
If you use "ESP Ghostscript" (also under the GPL, provided by Easy Software
Products, the makers of CUPS, downloadable from
<a href="http://www.cups.org/software.html" target="_top">http://www.cups.org/software.html</a>,
co-maintained by the developers of linuxprinting.org), you are guaranteed to
have in use the most uptodate, bug-fixed, enhanced and stable version of a Free
Ghostscript. It contains support for ~300 devices, whereas plain vanilla
GNU Ghostscript 7.05 only has ~200.
</p><p>
If you print only one CUPS test page, from the web interface and when you try to
print a windows test page, it acts like the job was never sent:
</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Can you print "standard" jobs from the CUPS machine?</td></tr><tr><td>Are the jobs from Windows visible in the Web interface on CUPS (http://localhost:631/)?</td></tr><tr><td><span class="emphasis"><em>Most important:</em></span> What kind of printer driver are you using on the Windows clients?</td></tr></table><p>
You can try to get a more detailed debugging info by setting "LogLevel debug" in
<tt>/etc/cups/cupsd.conf</tt>, re-start cupsd and investigate <tt>/var/log/cups/error_log</tt>
for the whereabouts of your Windows-originating printjobs:
</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>what does the "auto-typing" line say? which is the "MIME type" CUPS thinks is arriving from the Windows clients?</td></tr><tr><td>are there "filter" available for this MIME type?</td></tr><tr><td>are there "filter rules" defined in "/etc/cups/mime.convs" for this MIME type?</td></tr></table></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2873758"></a>Limiting the number of pages users can print</h2></div></div><p>
The feature you want is dependent on the real print subsystem you're using.
Samba's part is always to receive the job files from the clients (filtered
*or* unfiltered) and hand it over to this printing subsystem.
</p><p>
Of course one could "hack" things with one's own scripts.
</p><p>
But there is CUPS (Common Unix Printing System). CUPS supports "quotas".
Quotas can be based on sizes of jobs or on the number of pages or both,
and are spanning any time period you want.
</p><p>
This is an example command how root would set a print quota in CUPS,
assuming an existing printer named "quotaprinter":
</p><pre class="programlisting">
lpadmin -p quotaprinter -o job-quota-period=604800 -o job-k-limit=1024 \
-o job-page-limit=100
</pre><p>
This would limit every single user to print 100 pages or 1024 KB of
data (whichever comes first) within the last 604.800 seconds ( = 1 week).
</p><p>
For CUPS to count correctly, the printfile needs to pass the CUPS "pstops" filter,
otherwise it uses a "dummy" count of "1". Some printfiles don't pass it
(eg: image files) but then those are mostly 1 page jobs anyway. This also means,
proprietary drivers for the target printer running on the client computers and
CUPS/Samba then spooling these files as "raw" (i.e. leaving them untouched, not
filtering them), will be counted as "1-pagers" too!
</p><p>
You need to send PostScript from the clients (i.e. run a PostScript driver there)
for having the chance to get accounting done. If the printer is a non-PostScript model,
you need to let CUPS do the job to convert the file to a print-ready format for the
target printer. This will be working for currently ~1.000 different printer models, see
</p><pre class="programlisting">
http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi
</pre><p>
Before CUPS-1.1.16 your only option was to use the Adobe PostScript
Driver on the Windows clients. The output of this driver was not always
passed thru the "pstops" filter on the CUPS/Samba side, and therefor was
not counted correctly (the reason is that it often --- depending on the
"PPD" being used --- did write a "PJL"-header in front of the real
PostScript which made CUPS to skip the pstops and go directy to
the "pstoraster" stage).
</p><p>
From CUPS-1.1.16 onward you can use the "CUPS PostScript Driver
for Windows NT/2K/XP clients" (it is tagged in the download area of
http://www.cups.org/ as the "cups-samba-1.1.16.tar.gz" package).
It is *not* working for Win9x/ME clients. But it:
</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>it guarantees to not write an PJL-header</td></tr><tr><td>it guarantees to still read and support all PJL-options named in the driver PPD with its own means</td></tr><tr><td>it guarantees the file going thru the "pstops" filter on the CUPS/Samba server</td></tr><tr><td>it guarantees to page-count correctly the printfile</td></tr></table><p>
You can read more about the setup of this combination in the
manpage for "cupsaddsmb" (only present with CUPS installed, only
current with CUPS 1.1.16).
</p><p>
These are the items CUPS logs in the "page_log" for every single *page* of a job:
</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Printer name</td></tr><tr><td>User name</td></tr><tr><td>Job ID</td></tr><tr><td>Time of printing</td></tr><tr><td>the page number</td></tr><tr><td>the number of copies</td></tr><tr><td>a billing info string (optional)</td></tr></table><p>
</p><p>
Here is an extract of my CUPS server's page_log file to illustrate
the format and included items:

CUPS really counts the job pages being *processsed in software*
(going thru the "RIP") rather than the physical sheets successfully
leaving the printing device -- if there is a jam while printing
the 5th sheet out of 1000 and the job is aborted by the printer,
the "page count" will still show the figure of 1000 for that job
</td></tr><tr><td>
all quotas are the same for all users (no flexibility to give the
boss a higher quota than the clerk) no support for groups
</td></tr><tr><td>
no means to read out the current balance or "used-up" number of current quota
</td></tr><tr><td>
a user having used up 99 sheets of 100 quota will still be able to send and print a 1.000 sheet job
</td></tr><tr><td>
a user being denied a job because of a filled-up quota doesn't get a meaningful
error message from CUPS other than "client-error-not-possible".
</td></tr></table><p>
But this is the best system out there currently. And there are
huge improvements under development:
</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>page counting will go into the "backends" (these talk
directly to the printer and will increase the count in sync with the

Other than the current stage of the CUPS development, I don't
know any other ready-to-use tool which you could consider.
</p><p>
You can download the driver files from
<a href="http://www.cups.org/software.html" target="_top">http://www.cups.org/software.html</a>.
It is a separate package from the CUPS base software files, tagged as "CUPS 1.1.16
Windows NT/2k/XP Printer Driver for SAMBA (tar.gz, 192k)". The filename to
download is "cups-samba-1.1.16.tar.gz". Upon untar-/unzip-ping it will reveal
the files:
</p><p>
<tt>
cups-samba.install
cups-samba.license
cups-samba.readme
cups-samba.remove
cups-samba.ss
</tt>
</p><p>
These have been packaged with the ESP meta packager software "EPM". The
*.install and *.remove files are simple shell script, which untars the
*.ss (which is nothing else than a tar-archive) and puts its contents
into <tt>/usr/share/cups/drivers/</tt>. Its contents are 3 files:
</p><p>
<tt>
cupsdrvr.dll
cupsui.dll
cups.hlp
</tt>
</p><div class="caution" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Caution</h3><p>
Due to a bug one CUPS release puts the <tt>cups.hlp</tt>
into <tt>/usr/share/drivers/</tt> instead of
<tt>/usr/share/cups/drivers/</tt>. To work around this, copy/move
the file after running the "./cups-samba.install" script manually to the right place:
</p><p>
<b><tt> cp /usr/share/drivers/cups.hlp /usr/share/cups/drivers/

This new CUPS PostScript driver is currently binary-only, but free
no source code is provided (yet). The reason is this: it has
been developed with the help of the Microsoft Driver Developer Kit (DDK)
and compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio 6. It is not clear to the driver
developers if they are allowed to distribute the whole of the source code
as Free Software. However, they will likely release the "diff" in source
code under the GPL, so anybody with a license of Visual Studio and a DDK
will be able to compile for him/herself.
</p><p>
Once you have run the install script (and possibly manually moved the
"cups.hlp" file to "/usr/share/cups/drivers/"), the driver is ready to be
put into Samba's [print$] share (which often maps to "/etc/samba/drivers/"
and contains a subdir tree with WIN40 and W32X86 branches), by running
"cupsaddsmb" (see also "man cupsaddsmb" for CUPS 1.1.16). [Don't forget to
put root into the smbpasswd file by running "smbpasswd" should you run
this whole procedure for the first time.] Once the driver files are in the
[print$] share, they are ready to be downloaded and installed by the
Win NT/2k/XP clients.
</p></div><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Win 9x/ME clients won't work with this driver. For these you'd
still need to use the ADOBE*.* drivers as previously.
</p></div><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
It is not harming if you've still the ADOBE*.* driver files from
previous installations in the "/usr/share/cups/drivers/" directory.
The new cupsaddsmb (from 1.1.16) will automatically use the
"newest" installed driver (which here then is the CUPS drivers).
</p></div><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Should your Win clients have had the old ADOBE*.* files and the
Adobe PostScript drivers installed, the download and installation
of the new CUPS PostScript driver for Windows NT/2k/XP will fail
at first.
</p><p>
It is not enough to "delete" the printer (as the driver files
will still be kept by the clients and re-used if you try to
re-install the printer). To really get rid of the Adobe driver
files on the clients, open the "Printers" folder (possibly via
"Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Printers"), right-click
onto the folder background and select "Server Properties". A
new dialog opens; select the "Drivers" tab; on the list select
the driver you want to delete and click on the "Delete" button.
(This will only work if there is no single printer left which
uses that particular driver -- you need to "delete" all printers
using this driver in the "Printers" folder first.)
</p></div><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Once you have successfully downloaded the CUPS PostScript driver
to a client, you can easily switch all printers to this one
by proceeding as described elsewhere in the "Samba HOWTO
Collection" to change a driver for an existing printer.

What are the benefits with the "CUPS PostScript driver for Windows NT/2k/XP"
as compared to the Adobe drivers?
</p><p>
</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td><p>
no hassle with the Adobe EULA
</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>
no hassle with the question "where do I get the ADOBE*.* driver files from?"
</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>
the Adobe drivers (depending on the printer PPD associated with them)
often put a PJL header in front of the core PostScript part of the print
file (thus the file starts with "<i><tt>1B</tt></i>%-12345X"
or "<i><tt>escape</tt></i>%-12345X"
instead of "%!PS"). This leads to the CUPS daemon autotyping the
arriving file as a print-ready file, not requiring a pass thru the
"pstops" filter (to speak more technical, it is not regarded as the
generic MIME type "application/postscript", but as the more special
MIME type "application/cups.vnd-postscript"), which therefore also
leads to the page accounting in "/var/log/cups/page_log" not receiving
the exact mumber of pages; instead the dummy page number of "1" is
logged in a standard setup)
</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>
the Adobe driver has more options to "mis-configure" the PostScript
generated by it (like setting it inadvertedly to "Optimize for Speed",
instead of "Optimize for Portability", which could lead to CUPS being
unable to process it)
</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>
the CUPS PostScript driver output sent by Windows clients to the CUPS
server will be guaranteed to be auto-typed as generic MIME type
"application/postscript", thusly passing thru the CUPS "pstops" filter
and logging the correct number of pages in the page_log for accounting
and quota purposes
</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>
the CUPS PostScript driver supports the sending of additional print
options by the Win NT/2k/XP clients, such as naming the CUPS standard
banner pages (or the custom ones, should they be installed at the time
of driver download), using the CUPS "page-label" option, setting a
job-priority and setting the scheduled time of printing (with the option
to support additional useful IPP job attributes in the future).
</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>
the CUPS PostScript driver supports the inclusion of the new
"*cupsJobTicket" comments at the beginnig of the PostScript file (which
could be used in the future for all sort of beneficial extensions on
the CUPS side, but which will not disturb any other application as those
will regard it as a comment and simply ignore it).
</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>
the CUPS PostScript driver will be the heart of the fully fledged CUPS
IPP client for Windows NT/2k/XP to be released soon (probably alongside
the first Beta release for CUPS 1.2).
</p></td></tr></table><p>
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2874367"></a>Advanced Postscript Printing from MS Windows</h2></div></div><p>
Let the Windows Clients use a PostScript driver to deliver poistscript to
the samba print server (just like any Linux or Unix Client would also use
PostScript to send to the server)
</p><p>
Make the Unix printing subsystem to which Samba sends the job convert the
incoming PostScript files to the native print format of the target printers
(would be PCL if you have an HP printer)
</p><p>
Now if you are afraid that this would just mean using a *Generic* PostScript
driver for the clients that has no Simplex/Duplex selection, and no paper tray
choice, but you need them to be able to set up print jobs, with all the bells
and whistles of your printers:-
</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Not possible with traditional spooling systems</td></tr><tr><td>
But perfectly supported by CUPS (which uses "PPD" files to
describe how to control the print options for PostScript and
non-PostScript devices alike...
</td></tr></table><p>
CUPS PPDs are working perfectly on Windows clients who use Adobe PostScript
drivers (or the new CUPS PostScript driver for Windows NT/2K/XP). Clients can use
them to setup the job to their liking and CUPS will use the received job options
to make the (PCL-, ESC/P- or PostScript-) printer behave as required.
</p><p>
If you want to have the additional benefit of page count logging and accounting
then the CUPS PostScript driver is the best choice (better than the Adobe one).
</p><p>
If you want to make the drivers downloadable for the clients then "cupsaddsmb" is
your friend. It will setup the [print$] share on the Samba host to be ready to serve
the clients for a "point and print" driver installation.
</p><div class="warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Warning</h3><p>What strings are attached?</p></div><p>
There are some. But, given the sheer CPU power you can buy nowadays,
these can be overcome easily. The strings:
</p><p>
Well, if the CUPS/Samba side will have to print to many printers serving many users,
you probably will need to set up a second server (which can do automatic load balancing
with the first one, plus a degree of fail-over mechanism). Converting the incoming
PostScript jobs, "interpreting" them for non-PostScript printers, amounts to the work
of a "RIP" (Raster Image Processor) done in software. This requires more CPU and RAM
than for the mere "raw spooling" task your current setup is solving. It all depends
on the avarage and peak printing load the server should be able to handle.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2874473"></a>Auto-Deletion of CUPS spool files</h2></div></div><p>
Samba print files pass thru two "spool" directories. One the incoming directory
managed by Samba, (set eg: in the <b>path = /var/spool/samba</b> directive in the [printers]
section of <tt>smb.conf</tt>). Second is the spool directory of your UNIX print subsystem.
For CUPS it is normally "/var/spool/cups/", as set by the cupsd.conf directive
"RequestRoot /var/spool/cups".
</p><p>
I am not sure, which one of your directories keeps the files. From what you say,
it is most likely the Samba part.
</p><p>
For the CUPS part, you may want to consult:
</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>http://localhost:631/sam.html#PreserveJobFiles</td></tr><tr><td>http://localhost:631/sam.html#PreserveJobHistory</td></tr><tr><td>http://localhost:631/sam.html#MaxJobs</td></tr></table><p>
There are the settings described for your CUPS daemon, which could lead to completed
job files not being deleted.
</p><p>
"PreserveJobHistory Yes" -- keeps some details of jobs in
cupsd's mind (well it keeps the "c12345", "c12346" etc. files
in the CUPS spool directory, which do a similar job as the
old-fashioned BSD-LPD control files). This is set to "Yes"
as a default.
</p><p>
"PreserveJobFiles Yes" -- keeps the job files themselves in
cupsd's mind (well it keeps the "d12345", "d12346" etc. files
in the CUPS spool directory...). This is set to "No" as the
CUPS default.
</p><p>
"MaxJobs 500" -- this directive controls the maximum number
of jobs that are kept in memory. Once the number of jobs
reaches the limit, the oldest completed job is automatically
purged from the system to make room for the new one. If all
of the known jobs are still pending or active then the new
job will be rejected. Setting the maximum to 0 disables this
functionality. The default setting is 0.
</p><p>
(There are also additional settings for "MaxJobsPerUser" and
"MaxJobsPerPrinter"...)
</p><p>
For everything to work as announced, you need to have three things:
</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>
a Samba-smbd which is compiled against "libcups" (Check on Linux by running <b><tt>ldd `which smbd`</tt></b>)
</td></tr><tr><td>
a Samba-<tt>smb.conf</tt> setting of <b>printing = cups</b>
</td></tr><tr><td>
another Samba-<tt>smb.conf</tt> setting of <b>printcap = cups</b>
</td></tr></table><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Note, that in this case all other manually set printing-related
commands (like "print command", "lpq command", "lprm command",
"lppause command" or "lpresume command") are ignored and they
should normally have no influence what-so-ever on your printing.
</p></div><p>
If you want to do things manually, replace the "printing = cups"
by "printing = bsd". Then your manually set commands may work
(haven't tested this), and a "print command = lp -d %P %s; rm %s"
may do what you need.
</p><p>
You forgot to mention the CUPS version you're using. If you did
set things up as described in the man pages, then the Samba
spool files should be deleted. Otherwise it may be a bug. On
the CUPS side, you can control the behaviour as described
above.
</p><p>
If you have more problems, post the output of these commands:
</p><p>
<b><tt>
grep -v ^# /etc/cups/cupsd.conf | grep -v ^$
grep -v ^# /etc/samba/smb.conf | grep -v ^$ | grep -v "^;"
</tt></b>
</p><p>
(adapt paths as needed). These commands sanitize the files
and cut out the empty lines and lines with comments, providing
the "naked settings" in a compact way.

a unified logon has been considered a "holy grail" in heterogeneous
computing environments for a long time. We present
<span class="emphasis"><em>winbind</em></span>, a component of the Samba suite
of programs as a solution to the unified logon problem. Winbind
uses a UNIX implementation
of Microsoft RPC calls, Pluggable Authentication Modules, and the Name
Service Switch to allow Windows NT domain users to appear and operate
as UNIX users on a UNIX machine. This paper describes the winbind
system, explaining the functionality it provides, how it is configured,
and how it works internally.</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2874743"></a>Introduction</h2></div></div><p>It is well known that UNIX and Microsoft Windows NT have
different models for representing user and group information and
use different technologies for implementing them. This fact has
made it difficult to integrate the two systems in a satisfactory
manner.</p><p>One common solution in use today has been to create
identically named user accounts on both the UNIX and Windows systems
and use the Samba suite of programs to provide file and print services
between the two. This solution is far from perfect however, as
adding and deleting users on both sets of machines becomes a chore
and two sets of passwords are required both of which
can lead to synchronization problems between the UNIX and Windows
systems and confusion for users.</p><p>We divide the unified logon problem for UNIX machines into
three smaller problems:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Obtaining Windows NT user and group information
</p></li><li><p>Authenticating Windows NT users
</p></li><li><p>Password changing for Windows NT users
</p></li></ul></div><p>Ideally, a prospective solution to the unified logon problem
would satisfy all the above components without duplication of
information on the UNIX machines and without creating additional
tasks for the system administrator when maintaining users and
groups on either system. The winbind system provides a simple
and elegant solution to all three components of the unified logon
problem.</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2874814"></a>What Winbind Provides</h2></div></div><p>Winbind unifies UNIX and Windows NT account management by
allowing a UNIX box to become a full member of a NT domain. Once
this is done the UNIX box will see NT users and groups as if
they were native UNIX users and groups, allowing the NT domain
to be used in much the same manner that NIS+ is used within
UNIX-only environments.</p><p>The end result is that whenever any
program on the UNIX machine asks the operating system to lookup
a user or group name, the query will be resolved by asking the
NT domain controller for the specified domain to do the lookup.
Because Winbind hooks into the operating system at a low level
(via the NSS name resolution modules in the C library) this
redirection to the NT domain controller is completely
transparent.</p><p>Users on the UNIX machine can then use NT user and group
names as they would use "native" UNIX names. They can chown files
so that they are owned by NT domain users or even login to the
UNIX machine and run a UNIX X-Window session as a domain user.</p><p>The only obvious indication that Winbind is being used is
that user and group names take the form DOMAIN\user and
DOMAIN\group. This is necessary as it allows Winbind to determine
that redirection to a domain controller is wanted for a particular
lookup and which trusted domain is being referenced.</p><p>Additionally, Winbind provides an authentication service
that hooks into the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) system
to provide authentication via a NT domain to any PAM enabled
applications. This capability solves the problem of synchronizing
passwords between systems since all passwords are stored in a single
location (on the domain controller).</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2872076"></a>Target Uses</h3></div></div><p>Winbind is targeted at organizations that have an
existing NT based domain infrastructure into which they wish
to put UNIX workstations or servers. Winbind will allow these
organizations to deploy UNIX workstations without having to
maintain a separate account infrastructure. This greatly
simplifies the administrative overhead of deploying UNIX
workstations into a NT based organization.</p><p>Another interesting way in which we expect Winbind to
be used is as a central part of UNIX based appliances. Appliances
that provide file and print services to Microsoft based networks
will be able to use Winbind to provide seamless integration of
the appliance into the domain.</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2872107"></a>How Winbind Works</h2></div></div><p>The winbind system is designed around a client/server
architecture. A long running <b>winbindd</b> daemon
listens on a UNIX domain socket waiting for requests
to arrive. These requests are generated by the NSS and PAM
clients and processed sequentially.</p><p>The technologies used to implement winbind are described
in detail below.</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2872135"></a>Microsoft Remote Procedure Calls</h3></div></div><p>Over the last few years, efforts have been underway
by various Samba Team members to decode various aspects of
the Microsoft Remote Procedure Call (MSRPC) system. This
system is used for most network related operations between
Windows NT machines including remote management, user authentication
and print spooling. Although initially this work was done
to aid the implementation of Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
functionality in Samba, it has also yielded a body of code which
can be used for other purposes.</p><p>Winbind uses various MSRPC calls to enumerate domain users
and groups and to obtain detailed information about individual
users or groups. Other MSRPC calls can be used to authenticate
NT domain users and to change user passwords. By directly querying
a Windows PDC for user and group information, winbind maps the
NT account information onto UNIX user and group names.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2872170"></a>Microsoft Active Directory Services</h3></div></div><p>
Since late 2001, Samba has gained the ability to
interact with Microsoft Windows 2000 using its 'Native
Mode' protocols, rather than the NT4 RPC services.
Using LDAP and Kerberos, a domain member running
winbind can enumerate users and groups in exactly the
same way as a Win2k client would, and in so doing
provide a much more efficient and
effective winbind implementation.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2872192"></a>Name Service Switch</h3></div></div><p>The Name Service Switch, or NSS, is a feature that is
present in many UNIX operating systems. It allows system
information such as hostnames, mail aliases and user information
to be resolved from different sources. For example, a standalone
UNIX workstation may resolve system information from a series of
flat files stored on the local filesystem. A networked workstation
may first attempt to resolve system information from local files,
and then consult a NIS database for user information or a DNS server
for hostname information.</p><p>The NSS application programming interface allows winbind
to present itself as a source of system information when
resolving UNIX usernames and groups. Winbind uses this interface,
and information obtained from a Windows NT server using MSRPC
calls to provide a new source of account enumeration. Using standard
UNIX library calls, one can enumerate the users and groups on
a UNIX machine running winbind and see all users and groups in
a NT domain plus any trusted domain as though they were local
users and groups.</p><p>The primary control file for NSS is
<tt>/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt>.
When a UNIX application makes a request to do a lookup
the C library looks in <tt>/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt>
for a line which matches the service type being requested, for
example the "passwd" service type is used when user or group names
are looked up. This config line species which implementations
of that service should be tried and in what order. If the passwd
config line is:</p><p><b>passwd: files example</b></p><p>then the C library will first load a module called
<tt>/lib/libnss_files.so</tt> followed by
the module <tt>/lib/libnss_example.so</tt>. The
C library will dynamically load each of these modules in turn
and call resolver functions within the modules to try to resolve
the request. Once the request is resolved the C library returns the
result to the application.</p><p>This NSS interface provides a very easy way for Winbind
to hook into the operating system. All that needs to be done
is to put <tt>libnss_winbind.so</tt> in <tt>/lib/</tt>
then add "winbind" into <tt>/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt> at
the appropriate place. The C library will then call Winbind to
resolve user and group names.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2875280"></a>Pluggable Authentication Modules</h3></div></div><p>Pluggable Authentication Modules, also known as PAM,
is a system for abstracting authentication and authorization
technologies. With a PAM module it is possible to specify different
authentication methods for different system applications without
having to recompile these applications. PAM is also useful
for implementing a particular policy for authorization. For example,
a system administrator may only allow console logins from users
stored in the local password file but only allow users resolved from
a NIS database to log in over the network.</p><p>Winbind uses the authentication management and password
management PAM interface to integrate Windows NT users into a
UNIX system. This allows Windows NT users to log in to a UNIX
machine and be authenticated against a suitable Primary Domain
Controller. These users can also change their passwords and have
this change take effect directly on the Primary Domain Controller.
</p><p>PAM is configured by providing control files in the directory
<tt>/etc/pam.d/</tt> for each of the services that
require authentication. When an authentication request is made
by an application the PAM code in the C library looks up this
control file to determine what modules to load to do the
authentication check and in what order. This interface makes adding
a new authentication service for Winbind very easy, all that needs
to be done is that the <tt>pam_winbind.so</tt> module
is copied to <tt>/lib/security/</tt> and the PAM
control files for relevant services are updated to allow
authentication via winbind. See the PAM documentation
for more details.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2875352"></a>User and Group ID Allocation</h3></div></div><p>When a user or group is created under Windows NT
is it allocated a numerical relative identifier (RID). This is
slightly different to UNIX which has a range of numbers that are
used to identify users, and the same range in which to identify
groups. It is winbind's job to convert RIDs to UNIX id numbers and
vice versa. When winbind is configured it is given part of the UNIX
user id space and a part of the UNIX group id space in which to
store Windows NT users and groups. If a Windows NT user is
resolved for the first time, it is allocated the next UNIX id from
the range. The same process applies for Windows NT groups. Over
time, winbind will have mapped all Windows NT users and groups
to UNIX user ids and group ids.</p><p>The results of this mapping are stored persistently in
an ID mapping database held in a tdb database). This ensures that
RIDs are mapped to UNIX IDs in a consistent way.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2875387"></a>Result Caching</h3></div></div><p>An active system can generate a lot of user and group
name lookups. To reduce the network cost of these lookups winbind
uses a caching scheme based on the SAM sequence number supplied
by NT domain controllers. User or group information returned
by a PDC is cached by winbind along with a sequence number also
returned by the PDC. This sequence number is incremented by
Windows NT whenever any user or group information is modified. If
a cached entry has expired, the sequence number is requested from
the PDC and compared against the sequence number of the cached entry.
If the sequence numbers do not match, then the cached information
is discarded and up to date information is requested directly
from the PDC.</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2875414"></a>Installation and Configuration</h2></div></div><p>
Many thanks to John Trostel <a href="mailto:jtrostel@snapserver.com" target="_top">jtrostel@snapserver.com</a>
for providing the HOWTO for this section.
</p><p>
This HOWTO describes how to get winbind services up and running
to control access and authenticate users on your Linux box using
the winbind services which come with SAMBA 3.0.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2875442"></a>Introduction</h3></div></div><p>
This HOWTO describes the procedures used to get winbind up and
running on my RedHat 7.1 system. Winbind is capable of providing access
and authentication control for Windows Domain users through an NT
or Win2K PDC for 'regular' services, such as telnet a nd ftp, as
well for SAMBA services.
</p><p>
This HOWTO has been written from a 'RedHat-centric' perspective, so if
you are using another distribution, you may have to modify the instructions
somewhat to fit the way your distribution works.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Why should I to this?</em></span>
</p><p>This allows the SAMBA administrator to rely on the
authentication mechanisms on the NT/Win2K PDC for the authentication
of domain members. NT/Win2K users no longer need to have separate
accounts on the SAMBA server.
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Who should be reading this document?</em></span>
</p><p>
This HOWTO is designed for system administrators. If you are
implementing SAMBA on a file server and wish to (fairly easily)
integrate existing NT/Win2K users from your PDC onto the
SAMBA server, this HOWTO is for you. That said, I am no NT or PAM
expert, so you may find a better or easier way to accomplish
these tasks.
</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2875518"></a>Requirements</h3></div></div><p>
If you have a samba configuration file that you are currently
using... <span class="emphasis"><em>BACK IT UP!</em></span> If your system already uses PAM,
<span class="emphasis"><em>back up the <tt>/etc/pam.d</tt> directory
contents!</em></span> If you haven't already made a boot disk,
<span class="emphasis"><em>MAKE ONE NOW!</em></span>
</p><p>
Messing with the pam configuration files can make it nearly impossible
to log in to yourmachine. That's why you want to be able to boot back
into your machine in single user mode and restore your
<tt>/etc/pam.d</tt> back to the original state they were in if
you get frustrated with the way things are going. ;-)
</p><p>
The latest version of SAMBA (version 3.0 as of this writing), now
includes a functioning winbindd daemon. Please refer to the
<a href="http://samba.org/" target="_top">main SAMBA web page</a> or,
better yet, your closest SAMBA mirror site for instructions on
downloading the source code.
</p><p>
To allow Domain users the ability to access SAMBA shares and
files, as well as potentially other services provided by your
SAMBA machine, PAM (pluggable authentication modules) must
be setup properly on your machine. In order to compile the
winbind modules, you should have at least the pam libraries resident
on your system. For recent RedHat systems (7.1, for instance), that
means <tt>pam-0.74-22</tt>. For best results, it is helpful to also
install the development packages in <tt>pam-devel-0.74-22</tt>.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2875611"></a>Testing Things Out</h3></div></div><p>
Before starting, it is probably best to kill off all the SAMBA
related daemons running on your server. Kill off all <b>smbd</b>,
<b>nmbd</b>, and <b>winbindd</b> processes that may
be running. To use PAM, you will want to make sure that you have the
standard PAM package (for RedHat) which supplies the <tt>/etc/pam.d</tt>
directory structure, including the pam modules are used by pam-aware
services, several pam libraries, and the <tt>/usr/doc</tt>
and <tt>/usr/man</tt> entries for pam. Winbind built better
in SAMBA if the pam-devel package was also installed. This package includes
the header files needed to compile pam-aware applications. For instance,
my RedHat system has both <tt>pam-0.74-22</tt> and
<tt>pam-devel-0.74-22</tt> RPMs installed.
</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2875688"></a>Configure and compile SAMBA</h4></div></div><p>
The configuration and compilation of SAMBA is pretty straightforward.
The first three steps may not be necessary depending upon
whether or not you have previously built the Samba binaries.
</p><pre class="programlisting">
<tt>root#</tt> <b>autoconf</b>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>make clean</b>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>rm config.cache</b>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>./configure</b>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>make</b>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>make install</b>
</pre><p>
This will, by default, install SAMBA in <tt>/usr/local/samba</tt>.
See the main SAMBA documentation if you want to install SAMBA somewhere else.
It will also build the winbindd executable and libraries.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2875809"></a>Configure <tt>nsswitch.conf</tt> and the
winbind libraries on Linux and Solaris</h4></div></div><p>
The libraries needed to run the <b>winbindd</b> daemon
through nsswitch need to be copied to their proper locations, so
</p><p>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>cp ../samba/source/nsswitch/libnss_winbind.so /lib</b>
</p><p>
I also found it necessary to make the following symbolic link:
</p><p>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>ln -s /lib/libnss_winbind.so /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2</b>
</p><p>And, in the case of Sun solaris:</p><p>
<tt>root#</tt> <b><tt>ln -s /usr/lib/libnss_winbind.so /usr/lib/libnss_winbind.so.1</tt></b>
<tt>root#</tt> <b><tt>ln -s /usr/lib/libnss_winbind.so /usr/lib/nss_winbind.so.1</tt></b>
<tt>root#</tt> <b><tt>ln -s /usr/lib/libnss_winbind.so /usr/lib/nss_winbind.so.2</tt></b>
</p><p>
Now, as root you need to edit <tt>/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt> to
allow user and group entries to be visible from the <b>winbindd</b>
daemon. My <tt>/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt> file look like
this after editing:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
passwd: files winbind
shadow: files
group: files winbind
</pre><p>
The libraries needed by the winbind daemon will be automatically
entered into the <b>ldconfig</b> cache the next time
your system reboots, but it
is faster (and you don't need to reboot) if you do it manually:
</p><p>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>/sbin/ldconfig -v | grep winbind</b>
</p><p>
This makes <tt>libnss_winbind</tt> available to winbindd
and echos back a check to you.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2876014"></a>NSS Winbind on AIX</h4></div></div><p>(This section is only for those running AIX)</p><p>
The winbind AIX identification module gets built as libnss_winbind.so in the
nsswitch directory of the samba source. This file can be copied to
/usr/lib/security, and the AIX naming convention would indicate that it
should be named WINBIND. A stanza like the following:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
WINBIND:
program = /usr/lib/security/WINBIND
options = authonly
</pre><p>can then be added to
<tt>/usr/lib/security/methods.cfg</tt>. This module only
supports identification, but there have been success reports using the
standard winbind pam module for authentication. Use caution configuring
loadable authentication modules as it is possible to make it impossible
to logon to the system. More information about the AIX authentication
module API can be found at "Kernel Extensions and Device Support
Programming Concepts for AIX": <a href="#">

Several parameters are needed in the smb.conf file to control

the <a href="winbindd.8.html">winbindd(8)</a> man page. My

</pre></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2876202"></a>Join the SAMBA server to the PDC domain</h4></div></div><p>
Enter the following command to make the SAMBA server join the
PDC domain, where <i><tt>DOMAIN</tt></i> is the name of
your Windows domain and <i><tt>Administrator</tt></i> is
a domain user who has administrative privileges in the domain.
</p><p>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>/usr/local/samba/bin/net join -S PDC -U Administrator</b>
</p><p>
The proper response to the command should be: "Joined the domain
<i><tt>DOMAIN</tt></i>" where <i><tt>DOMAIN</tt></i>
is your DOMAIN name.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2876259"></a>Start up the winbindd daemon and test it!</h4></div></div><p>
Eventually, you will want to modify your smb startup script to
automatically invoke the winbindd daemon when the other parts of
SAMBA start, but it is possible to test out just the winbind
portion first. To start up winbind services, enter the following
command as root:
</p><p>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>/usr/local/samba/bin/winbindd</b>
</p><p>
Winbindd can now also run in 'dual daemon mode'. This will make it
run as 2 processes. The first will answer all requests from the cache,
thus making responses to clients faster. The other will
update the cache for the query that the first has just responded.
Advantage of this is that responses stay accurate and are faster.
You can enable dual daemon mode by adding '-B' to the commandline:
</p><p>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>/usr/local/samba/bin/winbindd -B</b>
</p><p>
I'm always paranoid and like to make sure the daemon
is really running...
</p><p>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>ps -ae | grep winbindd</b>
</p><p>
This command should produce output like this, if the daemon is running
</p><p>
3025 ? 00:00:00 winbindd
</p><p>
Now... for the real test, try to get some information about the
users on your PDC
</p><p>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>/usr/local/samba/bin/wbinfo -u</b>
</p><p>
This should echo back a list of users on your Windows users on
your PDC. For example, I get the following response:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
CEO+Administrator
CEO+burdell
CEO+Guest
CEO+jt-ad
CEO+krbtgt
CEO+TsInternetUser
</pre><p>
Obviously, I have named my domain 'CEO' and my <i><tt>winbind
separator</tt></i> is '+'.
</p><p>
You can do the same sort of thing to get group information from
the PDC:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
<tt>root#</tt> <b>/usr/local/samba/bin/wbinfo -g</b>
CEO+Domain Admins
CEO+Domain Users
CEO+Domain Guests
CEO+Domain Computers
CEO+Domain Controllers
CEO+Cert Publishers
CEO+Schema Admins
CEO+Enterprise Admins
CEO+Group Policy Creator Owners
</pre><p>
The function 'getent' can now be used to get unified
lists of both local and PDC users and groups.
Try the following command:
</p><p>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>getent passwd</b>
</p><p>
You should get a list that looks like your <tt>/etc/passwd</tt>
list followed by the domain users with their new uids, gids, home
directories and default shells.
</p><p>
The same thing can be done for groups with the command
</p><p>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>getent group</b>

If you have made it this far, you know that winbindd and samba are working
together. If you want to use winbind to provide authentication for other
services, keep reading. The pam configuration files need to be altered in
this step. (Did you remember to make backups of your original
<tt>/etc/pam.d</tt> files? If not, do it now.)
</p><p>
You will need a pam module to use winbindd with these other services. This
module will be compiled in the <tt>../source/nsswitch</tt> directory
by invoking the command
</p><p>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>make nsswitch/pam_winbind.so</b>
</p><p>
from the <tt>../source</tt> directory. The
<tt>pam_winbind.so</tt> file should be copied to the location of
your other pam security modules. On my RedHat system, this was the
<tt>/lib/security</tt> directory. On Solaris, the pam security
modules reside in <tt>/usr/lib/security</tt>.
</p><p>
<tt>root#</tt> <b>cp ../samba/source/nsswitch/pam_winbind.so /lib/security</b>
</p><div class="sect4" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h5 class="title"><a name="id2876895"></a>Linux/FreeBSD-specific PAM configuration</h5></div></div><p>
The <tt>/etc/pam.d/samba</tt> file does not need to be changed. I
just left this fileas it was:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
</pre><p>
The other services that I modified to allow the use of winbind
as an authentication service were the normal login on the console (or a terminal
session), telnet logins, and ftp service. In order to enable these
services, you may first need to change the entries in
<tt>/etc/xinetd.d</tt> (or <tt>/etc/inetd.conf</tt>).
RedHat 7.1 uses the new xinetd.d structure, in this case you need
to change the lines in <tt>/etc/xinetd.d/telnet</tt>
and <tt>/etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftp</tt> from
</p><pre class="programlisting">
enable = no
</pre><p>
to
</p><pre class="programlisting">
enable = yes
</pre><p>
For ftp services to work properly, you will also need to either
have individual directories for the domain users already present on
the server, or change the home directory template to a general
directory for all domain users. These can be easily set using
the <tt>smb.conf</tt> global entry
<b>template homedir</b>.
</p><p>
The <tt>/etc/pam.d/ftp</tt> file can be changed
to allow winbind ftp access in a manner similar to the
samba file. My <tt>/etc/pam.d/ftp</tt> file was
changed to look like this:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
auth required /lib/security/pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny \
file=/etc/ftpusers onerr=succeed
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth required /lib/security/pam_shells.so
account sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth

The <tt>/etc/pam.d/login</tt> file can be changed nearly the
same way. It now looks like this:

</pre><p>
In this case, I added the <b>auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so</b>
lines as before, but also added the <b>required pam_securetty.so</b>
above it, to disallow root logins over the network. I also added a

This section attempts to document peripheral issues that are of great importance to network
administrators who want to improve network resource access control, to automate the user
environment, and to make their lives a little easier.
</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2875143"></a>Configuring Samba Share Access Controls</h2></div></div><p>
This section deals with how to configure Samba per share access control restrictions.
By default samba sets no restrictions on the share itself. Restrictions on the share itself
can be set on MS Windows NT4/200x/XP shares. This can be a very effective way to limit who can
connect to a share. In the absence of specific restrictions the default setting is to allow
the global user <span class="emphasis"><em>Everyone</em></span> Full Control (ie: Full control, Change and Read).
</p><p>
At this time Samba does NOT provide a tool for configuring access control setting on the Share
itself. Samba does have the capacity to store and act on access control settings, but the only
way to create those settings is to use either the NT4 Server Manager or the Windows 200x MMC for
Computer Management.
</p><p>
Samba stores the per share access control settings in a file called <tt>share_info.tdb</tt>.
The location of this file on your system will depend on how samba was compiled. The default location
for samba's tdb files is under <tt>/usr/local/samba/var</tt>. If the <tt>tdbdump</tt>
utility has been compiled and installed on your system then you can examine the contents of this file
by: <b><tt>tdbdump share_info.tdb</tt></b>.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2874905"></a>Share Permissions Management</h3></div></div><p>
The best tool for the task is platform dependant. Choose the best tool for your environmemt.
</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2874919"></a>Windows NT4 Workstation/Server</h4></div></div><p>
The tool you need to use to manage share permissions on a Samba server is the NT Server Manager.
Server Manager is shipped with Windows NT4 Server products but not with Windows NT4 Workstation.
You can obtain the NT Server Manager for MS Windows NT4 Workstation from Microsoft - see details below.
</p><div class="procedure"><p class="title"><b>Procedure 16.1. Instructions</b></p><ol type="1"><li><p>
Launch the NT4 Server Manager, click on the Samba server you want to administer, then from the menu
select Computer, then click on the Shared Directories entry.
</p></li><li><p>
Now click on the share that you wish to manage, then click on the Properties tab, next click on
the Permissions tab. Now you can Add or change access control settings as you wish.
</p></li></ol></div></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2877329"></a>Windows 200x/XP</h4></div></div><p>
On MS Windows NT4/200x/XP system access control lists on the share itself are set using native
tools, usually from filemanager. For example, in Windows 200x: right click on the shared folder,
then select 'Sharing', then click on 'Permissions'. The default Windows NT4/200x permission allows
<span class="emphasis"><em>Everyone</em></span> Full Control on the Share.
</p><p>
MS Windows 200x and later all comes with a tool called the 'Computer Management' snap-in for the
Microsoft Management Console (MMC). This tool is located by clicking on <tt>Control Panel ->
Administrative Tools -> Computer Management</tt>.
</p><div class="procedure"><p class="title"><b>Procedure 16.2. Instructions</b></p><ol type="1"><li><p>
After launching the MMC with the Computer Management snap-in, click on the menu item 'Action',
select 'Connect to another computer'. If you are not logged onto a domain you will be prompted
to enter a domain login user identifier and a password. This will authenticate you to the domain.
If you where already logged in with administrative privilidge this step is not offered.
</p></li><li><p>
If the Samba server is not shown in the Select Computer box, then type in the name of the target
Samba server in the field 'Name:'. Now click on the [+] next to 'System Tools', then on the [+]
next to 'Shared Folders' in the left panel.
</p></li><li><p>
Now in the right panel, double-click on the share you wish to set access control permissions on.
Then click on the tab 'Share Permissions'. It is now possible to add access control entities
to the shared folder. Do NOT forget to set what type of access (full control, change, read) you
wish to assign for each entry.
</p></li></ol></div><div class="warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Warning</h3><p>
Be careful. If you take away all permissions from the Everyone user without removing this user
then effectively no user will be able to access the share. This is a result of what is known as
ACL precidence. ie: Everyone with NO ACCESS means that MaryK who is part of the group Everyone
will have no access even if this user is given explicit full control access.

Under MS Windows platforms, particularly those following the release of MS Windows
NT4 and MS Windows 95) it is possible to create a type of file that would be placed
in the NETLOGON share of a domain controller. As the client logs onto the network
this file is read and the contents initiate changes to the registry of the client
machine. This file allows changes to be made to those parts of the registry that
affect users, groups of users, or machines.
</p><p>
For MS Windows 9x/Me this file must be called <tt>Config.POL</tt> and may
be generated using a tool called <tt>poledit.exe</tt>, better known as the
Policy Editor. The policy editor was provided on the Windows 98 installation CD, but
dissappeared again with the introduction of MS Windows Me (Millenium Edition). From
comments from MS Windows network administrators it would appear that this tool became
a part of the MS Windows Me Resource Kit.
</p><p>
MS Windows NT4 Server products include the <span class="emphasis"><em>System Policy Editor</em></span>
under the <tt>Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools</tt> menu item.
For MS Windows NT4 and later clients this file must be called <tt>NTConfig.POL</tt>.
</p><p>
New with the introduction of MS Windows 2000 was the Microsoft Management Console
or MMC. This tool is the new wave in the ever changing landscape of Microsoft
methods for management of network access and security. Every new Microsoft product
or technology seems to obsolete the old rules and to introduce newer and more
complex tools and methods. To Microsoft's credit though, the MMC does appear to
be a step forward, but improved functionality comes at a great price.
</p><p>
Before embarking on the configuration of network and system policies it is highly
advisable to read the documentation available from Microsoft's web site regarding
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/management/deployment/planguide/prof_policies.asp" target="_top">
Implementing Profiles and Policies in Windows NT 4.0 from http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/management/deployment/planguide/prof_policies.asp</a> available from Microsoft.
There are a large number of documents in addition to this old one that should also
be read and understood. Try searching on the Microsoft web site for "Group Policies".
</p><p>
What follows is a very brief discussion with some helpful notes. The information provided
here is incomplete - you are warned.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2877925"></a>Windows 9x/Me Policies</h3></div></div><p>
You need the Win98 Group Policy Editor to set Group Profiles up under Windows 9x/Me.
It can be found on the Original full product Win98 installation CD under
<tt>tools/reskit/netadmin/poledit</tt>. Install this using the
Add/Remove Programs facility and then click on the 'Have Disk' tab.
</p><p>
Use the Group Policy Editor to create a policy file that specifies the location of
user profiles and/or the <tt>My Documents</tt> etc. stuff. Then
save these settings in a file called <tt>Config.POL</tt> that needs to
be placed in the root of the [NETLOGON] share. If Win98 is configured to log onto
the Samba Domain, it will automatically read this file and update the Win9x/Me registry
of the machine as it logs on.
</p><p>
Further details are covered in the Win98 Resource Kit documentation.
</p><p>
If you do not take the right steps, then every so often Win9x/Me will check the
integrity of the registry and will restore it's settings from the back-up
copy of the registry it stores on each Win9x/Me machine. Hence, you will
occasionally notice things changing back to the original settings.
</p><p>
Install the group policy handler for Win9x to pick up group policies. Look on the
Win98 CD in <tt>\tools\reskit\netadmin\poledit</tt>.
Install group policies on a Win9x client by double-clicking
<tt>grouppol.inf</tt>. Log off and on again a couple of times and see
if Win98 picks up group policies. Unfortunately this needs to be done on every
Win9x/Me machine that uses group policies.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2878014"></a>Windows NT4 Style Policy Files</h3></div></div><p>
To create or edit <tt>ntconfig.pol</tt> you must use the NT Server
Policy Editor, <b>poledit.exe</b> which is included with NT4 Server
but <span class="emphasis"><em>not NT Workstation</em></span>. There is a Policy Editor on a NT4
Workstation but it is not suitable for creating <span class="emphasis"><em>Domain Policies</em></span>.
Further, although the Windows 95 Policy Editor can be installed on an NT4
Workstation/Server, it will not work with NT clients. However, the files from
the NT Server will run happily enough on an NT4 Workstation.
</p><p>
You need <tt>poledit.exe, common.adm</tt> and <tt>winnt.adm</tt>.
It is convenient to put the two *.adm files in the <tt>c:\winnt\inf</tt>
directory which is where the binary will look for them unless told otherwise. Note also that that
directory is normally 'hidden'.
</p><p>
The Windows NT policy editor is also included with the Service Pack 3 (and
later) for Windows NT 4.0. Extract the files using <b>servicepackname /x</b>,
i.e. that's <b>Nt4sp6ai.exe /x</b> for service pack 6a. The policy editor,
<b>poledit.exe</b> and the associated template files (*.adm) should
be extracted as well. It is also possible to downloaded the policy template
files for Office97 and get a copy of the policy editor. Another possible
location is with the Zero Administration Kit available for download from Microsoft.
</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2878116"></a>Registry Tattoos</h4></div></div><p>
With NT4 style registry based policy changes, a large number of settings are not
automatically reversed as the user logs off. Since the settings that were in the
NTConfig.POL file were applied to the client machine registry and that apply to the
hive key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE are permanent until explicitly reversed. This is known
as tattooing. It can have serious consequences down-stream and the administrator must
be extremely careful not to lock out the ability to manage the machine at a later date.
</p></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2878140"></a>MS Windows 200x / XP Professional Policies</h3></div></div><p>
Windows NT4 System policies allows setting of registry parameters specific to
users, groups and computers (client workstations) that are members of the NT4
style domain. Such policy file will work with MS Windows 2000 / XP clients also.
</p><p>
New to MS Windows 2000 Microsoft introduced a new style of group policy that confers
a superset of capabilities compared with NT4 style policies. Obviously, the tool used
to create them is different, and the mechanism for implementing them is much changed.
</p><p>
The older NT4 style registry based policies are known as <span class="emphasis"><em>Administrative Templates</em></span>
in MS Windows 2000/XP Group Policy Objects (GPOs). The later includes ability to set various security
configurations, enforce Internet Explorer browser settings, change and redirect aspects of the
users' desktop (including: the location of <span class="emphasis"><em>My Documents</em></span> files (directory), as
well as intrinsics of where menu items will appear in the Start menu). An additional new
feature is the ability to make available particular software Windows applications to particular
users and/or groups.
</p><p>
Remember: NT4 policy files are named <tt>NTConfig.POL</tt> and are stored in the root
of the NETLOGON share on the domain controllers. A Windows NT4 user enters a username, a password
and selects the domain name to which the logon will attempt to take place. During the logon
process the client machine reads the NTConfig.POL file from the NETLOGON share on the authenticating
server, modifies the local registry values according to the settings in this file.
</p><p>
Windows 2K GPOs are very feature rich. They are NOT stored in the NETLOGON share, rather part of
a Windows 200x policy file is stored in the Active Directory itself and the other part is stored
in a shared (and replicated) volume called the SYSVOL folder. This folder is present on all Active
Directory domain controllers. The part that is stored in the Active Directory itself is called the
group policy container (GPC), and the part that is stored in the replicated share called SYSVOL is
known as the group policy template (GPT).
</p><p>
With NT4 clients the policy file is read and executed upon only as each user logs onto the network.
MS Windows 200x policies are much more complex - GPOs are processed and applied at client machine
startup (machine specific part) and when the user logs onto the network the user specific part
is applied. In MS Windows 200x style policy management each machine and/or user may be subject
to any number of concurently applicable (and applied) policy sets (GPOs). Active Directory allows
the administrator to also set filters over the policy settings. No such equivalent capability
exists with NT4 style policy files.

Instead of using the tool called "The System Policy Editor", commonly called Poledit (from the
executable name poledit.exe), GPOs are created and managed using a Microsoft Management Console
(MMC) snap-in as follows:</p><div class="procedure"><ol type="1"><li><p>
Go to the Windows 200x / XP menu <tt>Start->Programs->Administrative Tools</tt>
and select the MMC snap-in called "Active Directory Users and Computers"
</p></li><li><p>
Select the domain or organizational unit (OU) that you wish to manage, then right click
to open the context menu for that object, select the properties item.
</p></li><li><p>
Now left click on the Group Policy tab, then left click on the New tab. Type a name
for the new policy you will create.
</p></li><li><p>
Now left click on the Edit tab to commence the steps needed to create the GPO.
</p></li></ol></div><p>
All policy configuration options are controlled through the use of policy administrative
templates. These files have a .adm extension, both in NT4 as well as in Windows 200x / XP.
Beware however, since the .adm files are NOT interchangible across NT4 and Windows 200x.
The later introduces many new features as well as extended definition capabilities. It is
well beyond the scope of this documentation to explain how to program .adm files, for that
the adminsitrator is referred to the Microsoft Windows Resource Kit for your particular
version of MS Windows.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
The MS Windows 2000 Resource Kit contains a tool called gpolmig.exe. This tool can be used
to migrate an NT4 NTConfig.POL file into a Windows 200x style GPO. Be VERY careful how you
use this powerful tool. Please refer to the resource kit manuals for specific usage information.
</p></div></div></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2878344"></a>Managing Account/User Policies</h2></div></div><p>
Policies can define a specific user's settings or the settings for a group of users. The resulting
policy file contains the registry settings for all users, groups, and computers that will be using
the policy file. Separate policy files for each user, group, or computer are not not necessary.
</p><p>
If you create a policy that will be automatically downloaded from validating domain controllers,
you should name the file NTconfig.POL. As system administrator, you have the option of renaming the
policy file and, by modifying the Windows NT-based workstation, directing the computer to update
the policy from a manual path. You can do this by either manually changing the registry or by using
the System Policy Editor. This path can even be a local path such that each machine has its own policy file,
but if a change is necessary to all machines, this change must be made individually to each workstation.
</p><p>
When a Windows NT4/200x/XP machine logs onto the network the NETLOGON share on the authenticating domain
controller for the presence of the NTConfig.POL file. If one exists it is downloaded, parsed and then
applied to the user's part of the registry.
</p><p>
MS Windows 200x/XP clients that log onto an MS Windows Active Directory security domain may additionally,
acquire policy settings through Group Policy Objects (GPOs) that are defined and stored in Active Directory
itself. The key benefit of using AS GPOs is that they impose no registry <span class="emphasis"><em>tatooing</em></span> effect.
This has considerable advanage compared with the use of NTConfig.POL (NT4) style policy updates.
</p><p>
In addition to user access controls that may be imposed or applied via system and/or group policies
in a manner that works in conjunction with user profiles, the user management environment under
MS Windows NT4/200x/XP allows per domain as well as per user account restrictions to be applied.
Common restrictions that are frequently used includes:
</p><p>
</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Logon Hours</td></tr><tr><td>Password Aging</td></tr><tr><td>Permitted Logon from certain machines only</td></tr><tr><td>Account type (Local or Global)</td></tr><tr><td>User Rights</td></tr></table><p>
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2878457"></a>With Windows NT4/200x</h3></div></div><p>
The tools that may be used to configure these types of controls from the MS Windows environment are:
The NT4 User Manager for domains, the NT4 System and Group Policy Editor, the registry editor (regedt32.exe).
Under MS Windows 200x/XP this is done using the Microsoft Managment Console (MMC) with approapriate
"snap-ins", the registry editor, and potentially also the NT4 System and Group Policy Editor.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2878478"></a>With a Samba PDC</h3></div></div><p>
With a Samba Domain Controller, the new tools for managing of user account and policy information includes:

Roaming profiles support is different for Win9x / Me and Windows NT4/200x.
</p></div><p>
Before discussing how to configure roaming profiles, it is useful to see how
Windows 9x / Me and Windows NT4/200x clients implement these features.
</p><p>
Windows 9x / Me clients send a NetUserGetInfo request to the server to get the user's
profiles location. However, the response does not have room for a separate
profiles location field, only the user's home share. This means that Win9X/Me
profiles are restricted to being stored in the user's home directory.
</p><p>
Windows NT4/200x clients send a NetSAMLogon RPC request, which contains many fields,
including a separate field for the location of the user's profiles.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2877483"></a>Samba Configuration for Profile Handling</h3></div></div><p>
This section documents how to configure Samba for MS Windows client profile support.
</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2877497"></a>NT4/200x User Profiles</h4></div></div><p>
To support Windowns NT4/200x clients, in the [global] section of smb.conf set the
following (for example):
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
logon path = \\profileserver\profileshare\profilepath\%U\moreprofilepath
</pre><p>
This is typically implemented like:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%u
</pre><p>
where %L translates to the name of the Samba server and %u translates to the user name
</p><p>
The default for this option is \\%N\%U\profile, namely \\sambaserver\username\profile.
The \\N%\%U service is created automatically by the [homes] service. If you are using
a samba server for the profiles, you _must_ make the share specified in the logon path
browseable. Please refer to the man page for smb.conf in respect of the different
symantics of %L and %N, as well as %U and %u.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
MS Windows NT/2K clients at times do not disconnect a connection to a server
between logons. It is recommended to NOT use the <b>homes</b>
meta-service name as part of the profile share path.
</p></div></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2878824"></a>Windows 9x / Me User Profiles</h4></div></div><p>
To support Windows 9x / Me clients, you must use the "logon home" parameter. Samba has
now been fixed so that <b><tt>net use /home</tt></b> now works as well, and it, too, relies
on the <b>logon home</b> parameter.
</p><p>
By using the logon home parameter, you are restricted to putting Win9x / Me
profiles in the user's home directory. But wait! There is a trick you
can use. If you set the following in the <b>[global]</b> section of your <tt>smb.conf</tt> file:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
logon home = \\%L\%U\.profiles
</pre><p>
then your Windows 9x / Me clients will dutifully put their clients in a subdirectory
of your home directory called <tt>.profiles</tt> (thus making them hidden).
</p><p>
Not only that, but <b><tt>net use /home</tt></b> will also work, because of a feature in
Windows 9x / Me. It removes any directory stuff off the end of the home directory area
and only uses the server and share portion. That is, it looks like you
specified \\%L\%U for <b>logon home</b>.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2878920"></a>Mixed Windows 9x / Me and Windows NT4/200x User Profiles</h4></div></div><p>
You can support profiles for both Win9X and WinNT clients by setting both the
<b>logon home</b> and <b>logon path</b> parameters. For example:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
logon home = \\%L\%u\.profiles
logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u
</pre></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2878959"></a>Disabling Roaming Profile Support</h4></div></div><p>
A question often asked is "How may I enforce use of local profiles?" or
"How do I disable Roaming Profiles?"
</p><p>
There are three ways of doing this:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
<b>In smb.conf:</b> affect the following settings and ALL clients
will be forced to use a local profile:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
logon home =
logon path =
</pre></li><li><p>
<b>MS Windows Registry:</b> by using the Microsoft Management Console
gpedit.msc to instruct your MS Windows XP machine to use only a local profile. This
of course modifies registry settings. The full path to the option is:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
Local Computer Policy\
Computer Configuration\
Administrative Templates\
System\
User Profiles\
Disable: Only Allow Local User Profiles
Disable: Prevent Roaming Profile Change from Propogating to the Server
</pre><p>
</p></li><li><p>
<b>Change of Profile Type:</b> From the start menu right click on the
MY Computer icon, select <span class="emphasis"><em>Properties</em></span>, click on the "<span class="emphasis"><em>User Profiles</em></span>
tab, select the profile you wish to change from Roaming type to Local, click <span class="emphasis"><em>Change Type</em></span>.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
Consult the MS Windows registry guide for your particular MS Windows version for more
information about which registry keys to change to enforce use of only local user
profiles.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
The specifics of how to convert a local profile to a roaming profile, or a roaming profile
to a local one vary according to the version of MS Windows you are running. Consult the
Microsoft MS Windows Resource Kit for your version of Windows for specific information.
</p></div></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2879080"></a>Windows Client Profile Configuration Information</h3></div></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2879088"></a>Windows 9x / Me Profile Setup</h4></div></div><p>
When a user first logs in on Windows 9X, the file user.DAT is created,
as are folders "Start Menu", "Desktop", "Programs" and "Nethood".
These directories and their contents will be merged with the local
versions stored in c:\windows\profiles\username on subsequent logins,
taking the most recent from each. You will need to use the [global]
options "preserve case = yes", "short preserve case = yes" and
"case sensitive = no" in order to maintain capital letters in shortcuts
in any of the profile folders.
</p><p>
The user.DAT file contains all the user's preferences. If you wish to
enforce a set of preferences, rename their user.DAT file to user.MAN,
and deny them write access to this file.
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>
On the Windows 9x / Me machine, go to Control Panel -> Passwords and
select the User Profiles tab. Select the required level of
roaming preferences. Press OK, but do _not_ allow the computer
to reboot.
</p></li><li><p>
On the Windows 9x / Me machine, go to Control Panel -> Network ->
Client for Microsoft Networks -> Preferences. Select 'Log on to
NT Domain'. Then, ensure that the Primary Logon is 'Client for
Microsoft Networks'. Press OK, and this time allow the computer
to reboot.
</p></li></ol></div><p>
Under Windows 9x / Me Profiles are downloaded from the Primary Logon.
If you have the Primary Logon as 'Client for Novell Networks', then
the profiles and logon script will be downloaded from your Novell
Server. If you have the Primary Logon as 'Windows Logon', then the
profiles will be loaded from the local machine - a bit against the
concept of roaming profiles, it would seem!
</p><p>
You will now find that the Microsoft Networks Login box contains
[user, password, domain] instead of just [user, password]. Type in
the samba server's domain name (or any other domain known to exist,
but bear in mind that the user will be authenticated against this
domain and profiles downloaded from it, if that domain logon server
supports it), user name and user's password.
</p><p>
Once the user has been successfully validated, the Windows 9x / Me machine
will inform you that 'The user has not logged on before' and asks you
if you wish to save the user's preferences? Select 'yes'.
</p><p>
Once the Windows 9x / Me client comes up with the desktop, you should be able
to examine the contents of the directory specified in the "logon path"
on the samba server and verify that the "Desktop", "Start Menu",
"Programs" and "Nethood" folders have been created.
</p><p>
These folders will be cached locally on the client, and updated when
the user logs off (if you haven't made them read-only by then).
You will find that if the user creates further folders or short-cuts,
that the client will merge the profile contents downloaded with the
contents of the profile directory already on the local client, taking
the newest folders and short-cuts from each set.
</p><p>
If you have made the folders / files read-only on the samba server,
then you will get errors from the Windows 9x / Me machine on logon and logout, as
it attempts to merge the local and the remote profile. Basically, if
you have any errors reported by the Windows 9x / Me machine, check the Unix file
permissions and ownership rights on the profile directory contents,
on the samba server.
</p><p>
If you have problems creating user profiles, you can reset the user's
local desktop cache, as shown below. When this user then next logs in,
they will be told that they are logging in "for the first time".
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>
instead of logging in under the [user, password, domain] dialog,
press escape.
</p></li><li><p>
run the regedit.exe program, and look in:
</p><p>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
</p><p>
you will find an entry, for each user, of ProfilePath. Note the
contents of this key (likely to be c:\windows\profiles\username),
then delete the key ProfilePath for the required user.
[Exit the registry editor].
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>WARNING</em></span> - before deleting the contents of the
directory listed in the ProfilePath (this is likely to be
<tt>c:\windows\profiles\username)</tt>, ask them if they
have any important files stored on their desktop or in their start menu.
Delete the contents of the directory ProfilePath (making a backup if any
of the files are needed).
</p><p>
This will have the effect of removing the local (read-only hidden
system file) user.DAT in their profile directory, as well as the
local "desktop", "nethood", "start menu" and "programs" folders.
</p></li><li><p>
search for the user's .PWL password-caching file in the c:\windows
directory, and delete it.
</p></li><li><p>
log off the windows 9x / Me client.
</p></li><li><p>
check the contents of the profile path (see "logon path" described
above), and delete the user.DAT or user.MAN file for the user,
making a backup if required.
</p></li></ol></div><p>
If all else fails, increase samba's debug log levels to between 3 and 10,
and / or run a packet trace program such as ethereal or netmon.exe, and
look for error messages.
</p><p>
If you have access to an Windows NT4/200x server, then first set up roaming profiles
and / or netlogons on the Windows NT4/200x server. Make a packet trace, or examine
the example packet traces provided with Windows NT4/200x server, and see what the
differences are with the equivalent samba trace.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2879358"></a>Windows NT4 Workstation</h4></div></div><p>
When a user first logs in to a Windows NT Workstation, the profile
NTuser.DAT is created. The profile location can be now specified
through the "logon path" parameter.
</p><p>
There is a parameter that is now available for use with NT Profiles:
"logon drive". This should be set to <tt>H:</tt> or any other drive, and
should be used in conjunction with the new "logon home" parameter.
</p><p>
The entry for the NT4 profile is a _directory_ not a file. The NT
help on profiles mentions that a directory is also created with a .PDS
extension. The user, while logging in, must have write permission to
create the full profile path (and the folder with the .PDS extension
for those situations where it might be created.)
</p><p>
In the profile directory, Windows NT4 creates more folders than Windows 9x / Me.
It creates "Application Data" and others, as well as "Desktop", "Nethood",
"Start Menu" and "Programs". The profile itself is stored in a file
NTuser.DAT. Nothing appears to be stored in the .PDS directory, and
its purpose is currently unknown.
</p><p>
You can use the System Control Panel to copy a local profile onto
a samba server (see NT Help on profiles: it is also capable of firing
up the correct location in the System Control Panel for you). The
NT Help file also mentions that renaming NTuser.DAT to NTuser.MAN
turns a profile into a mandatory one.
</p><p>
The case of the profile is significant. The file must be called
NTuser.DAT or, for a mandatory profile, NTuser.MAN.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2879426"></a>Windows 2000/XP Professional</h4></div></div><p>
You must first convert the profile from a local profile to a domain
profile on the MS Windows workstation as follows:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
Log on as the LOCAL workstation administrator.
</p></li><li><p>
Right click on the 'My Computer' Icon, select 'Properties'

</p></li><li><p>
In the "Permitted to use" box, click on the 'Change' button.
</p></li><li><p>
Click on the 'Look in" area that lists the machine name, when you click
here it will open up a selection box. Click on the domain to which the
profile must be accessible.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>You will need to log on if a logon box opens up. Eg: In the connect

</p></li><li><p>
Click OK. The Selection box will close.
</p></li><li><p>
Now click on the 'Ok' button to create the profile in the path you
nominated.
</p></li></ul></div><p>

<tt>profiles</tt> tool.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>

This is a security check new to Windows XP (or maybe only
Windows XP service pack 1). It can be disabled via a group policy in
Active Directory. The policy is:</p><p>"Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User

Sharing of desktop profiles between Windows versions is NOT recommended.
Desktop profiles are an evolving phenomenon and profiles for later versions
of MS Windows clients add features that may interfere with earlier versions
of MS Windows clients. Probably the more salient reason to NOT mix profiles
is that when logging off an earlier version of MS Windows the older format
of profile contents may overwrite information that belongs to the newer
version resulting in loss of profile information content when that user logs
on again with the newer version of MS Windows.
</p><p>
If you then want to share the same Start Menu / Desktop with W9x/Me, you will
need to specify a common location for the profiles. The smb.conf parameters
that need to be common are <span class="emphasis"><em>logon path</em></span> and
<span class="emphasis"><em>logon home</em></span>.
</p><p>
If you have this set up correctly, you will find separate user.DAT and
NTuser.DAT files in the same profile directory.

There is nothing to stop you specifying any path that you like for the
location of users' profiles. Therefore, you could specify that the
profile be stored on a samba server, or any other SMB server, as long as
that SMB server supports encrypted passwords.
</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2879759"></a>Windows NT4 Profile Management Tools</h4></div></div><p>
Unfortunately, the Resource Kit information is specific to the version of MS Windows
NT4/200x. The correct resource kit is required for each platform.
</p><p>
Here is a quick guide:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
On your NT4 Domain Controller, right click on 'My Computer', then
select the tab labelled 'User Profiles'.
</p></li><li><p>
Select a user profile you want to migrate and click on it.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>I am using the term "migrate" lossely. You can copy a profile to
create a group profile. You can give the user 'Everyone' rights to the
profile you copy this to. That is what you need to do, since your samba
domain is not a member of a trust relationship with your NT4 PDC.</p></div></li><li><p>Click the 'Copy To' button.</p></li><li><p>In the box labelled 'Copy Profile to' add your new path, eg:
<tt>c:\temp\foobar</tt></p></li><li><p>Click on the button labelled 'Change' in the "Permitted to use" box.</p></li><li><p>Click on the group 'Everyone' and then click OK. This closes the
'chose user' box.</p></li><li><p>Now click OK.</p></li></ul></div><p>
Follow the above for every profile you need to migrate.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2879852"></a>Side bar Notes</h4></div></div><p>
You should obtain the SID of your NT4 domain. You can use smbpasswd to do
this. Read the man page.</p><p>
With Samba-3.0.0 alpha code you can import all you NT4 domain accounts
using the net samsync method. This way you can retain your profile
settings as well as all your users.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2879874"></a>moveuser.exe</h4></div></div><p>
The W2K professional resource kit has moveuser.exe. moveuser.exe changes
the security of a profile from one user to another. This allows the account
domain to change, and/or the user name to change.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2879890"></a>Get SID</h4></div></div><p>
You can identify the SID by using GetSID.exe from the Windows NT Server 4.0
Resource Kit.
</p><p>
Windows NT 4.0 stores the local profile information in the registry under
the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
</p><p>
Under the ProfileList key, there will be subkeys named with the SIDs of the
users who have logged on to this computer. (To find the profile information
for the user whose locally cached profile you want to move, find the SID for
the user with the GetSID.exe utility.) Inside of the appropriate user's
subkey, you will see a string value named ProfileImagePath.
</p></div></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2879925"></a>Mandatory profiles</h2></div></div><p>
A Mandatory Profile is a profile that the user does NOT have the ability to overwrite.
During the user's session it may be possible to change the desktop environment, but
as the user logs out all changes made will be lost. If it is desired to NOT allow the
user any ability to change the desktop environment then this must be done through
policy settings. See previous chapter.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Under NO circumstances should the profile directory (or it's contents) be made read-only
as this may render the profile un-usable.
</p></div><p>
For MS Windows NT4/200x/XP the above method can be used to create mandatory profiles
also. To convert a group profile into a mandatory profile simply locate the NTUser.DAT
file in the copied profile and rename it to NTUser.MAN.
</p><p>
For MS Windows 9x / Me it is the User.DAT file that must be renamed to User.MAN to
affect a mandatory profile.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2879970"></a>Creating/Managing Group Profiles</h2></div></div><p>
Most organisations are arranged into departments. There is a nice benenfit in
this fact since usually most users in a department will require the same desktop
applications and the same desktop layout. MS Windows NT4/200x/XP will allow the
use of Group Profiles. A Group Profile is a profile that is created firstly using
a template (example) user. Then using the profile migration tool (see above) the
profile is assigned access rights for the user group that needs to be given access
to the group profile.
</p><p>
The next step is rather important. PLEASE NOTE: Instead of assigning a group profile
to users (ie: Using User Manager) on a "per user" basis, the group itself is assigned
the now modified profile.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Be careful with group profiles, if the user who is a member of a group also
has a personal profile, then the result will be a fusion (merge) of the two.
</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2880011"></a>Default Profile for Windows Users</h2></div></div><p>
MS Windows 9x / Me and NT4/200x/XP will use a default profile for any user for whom
a profile does not already exist. Armed with a knowledge of where the default profile
is located on the Windows workstation, and knowing which registry keys affect the path
from which the default profile is created, it is possible to modify the default profile
to one that has been optimised for the site. This has significant administrative
advantages.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2880040"></a>MS Windows 9x/Me</h3></div></div><p>
To enable default per use profiles in Windows 9x / Me you can either use the Windows 98 System
Policy Editor or change the registry directly.
</p><p>
To enable default per user profiles in Windows 9x / Me, launch the System Policy Editor, then
select File -> Open Registry, then click on the Local Computer icon, click on Windows 98 System,
select User Profiles, click on the enable box. Do not forget to save the registry changes.
</p><p>
To modify the registry directly, launch the Registry Editor (regedit.exe), select the hive
<tt>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon</tt>. Now add a DWORD type key with the name
"User Profiles", to enable user profiles set the value to 1, to disable user profiles set it to 0.
</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2880080"></a>How User Profiles Are Handled in Windows 9x / Me?</h4></div></div><p>
When a user logs on to a Windows 9x / Me machine, the local profile path,
<tt>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProfileList</tt>, is checked
for an existing entry for that user:
</p><p>
If the user has an entry in this registry location, Windows 9x / Me checks for a locally cached
version of the user profile. Windows 9x / Me also checks the user's home directory (or other
specified directory if the location has been modified) on the server for the User Profile.
If a profile exists in both locations, the newer of the two is used. If the User Profile exists
on the server, but does not exist on the local machine, the profile on the server is downloaded
and used. If the User Profile only exists on the local machine, that copy is used.
</p><p>
If a User Profile is not found in either location, the Default User Profile from the Windows 9x / Me
machine is used and is copied to a newly created folder for the logged on user. At log off, any
changes that the user made are written to the user's local profile. If the user has a roaming
profile, the changes are written to the user's profile on the server.
</p></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2880129"></a>MS Windows NT4 Workstation</h3></div></div><p>
On MS Windows NT4 the default user profile is obtained from the location
<tt>%SystemRoot%\Profiles</tt> which in a default installation will translate to
<tt>C:\WinNT\Profiles</tt>. Under this directory on a clean install there will be
three (3) directories: <tt>Administrator, All Users, Default User</tt>.
</p><p>
The <tt>All Users</tt> directory contains menu settings that are common across all
system users. The <tt>Default User</tt> directory contains menu entries that are
customisable per user depending on the profile settings chosen/created.
</p><p>
When a new user first logs onto an MS Windows NT4 machine a new profile is created from:
</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>All Users settings</td></tr><tr><td>Default User settings (contains the default NTUser.DAT file)</td></tr></table><p>
When a user logs onto an MS Windows NT4 machine that is a member of a Microsoft security domain
the following steps are followed in respect of profile handling:
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>
The users' account information which is obtained during the logon process contains
the location of the users' desktop profile. The profile path may be local to the
machine or it may be located on a network share. If there exists a profile at the location
of the path from the user account, then this profile is copied to the location
<tt>%SystemRoot%\Profiles\%USERNAME%</tt>. This profile then inherits the
settings in the <tt>All Users</tt> profile in the <tt>%SystemRoot%\Profiles</tt>
location.
</p></li><li><p>
If the user account has a profile path, but at it's location a profile does not exist,
then a new profile is created in the <tt>%SystemRoot%\Profiles\%USERNAME%</tt>
directory from reading the <tt>Default User</tt> profile.
</p></li><li><p>
If the NETLOGON share on the authenticating server (logon server) contains a policy file
(<tt>NTConfig.POL</tt>) then it's contents are applied to the <tt>NTUser.DAT</tt>
which is applied to the <tt>HKEY_CURRENT_USER</tt> part of the registry.
</p></li><li><p>
When the user logs out, if the profile is set to be a roaming profile it will be written
out to the location of the profile. The <tt>NTuser.DAT</tt> file is then
re-created from the contents of the <tt>HKEY_CURRENT_USER</tt> contents.
Thus, should there not exist in the NETLOGON share an <tt>NTConfig.POL</tt> at the
next logon, the effect of the provious <tt>NTConfig.POL</tt> will still be held
in the profile. The effect of this is known as <span class="emphasis"><em>tatooing</em></span>.
</p></li></ol></div><p>
MS Windows NT4 profiles may be <span class="emphasis"><em>Local</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>Roaming</em></span>. A Local profile
will stored in the <tt>%SystemRoot%\Profiles\%USERNAME%</tt> location. A roaming profile will
also remain stored in the same way, unless the following registry key is created:
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\winlogon\
"DeleteRoamingCache"=dword:00000001
</pre><p>
In which case, the local copy (in <tt>%SystemRoot%\Profiles\%USERNAME%</tt>) will be
deleted on logout.
</p><p>
Under MS Windows NT4 default locations for common resources (like <tt>My Documents</tt>
may be redirected to a network share by modifying the following registry keys. These changes may be affected
via use of the System Policy Editor (to do so may require that you create your owns template extension
for the policy editor to allow this to be done through the GUI. Another way to do this is by way of first
creating a default user profile, then while logged in as that user, run regedt32 to edit the key settings.
</p><p>
The Registry Hive key that affects the behaviour of folders that are part of the default user profile
are controlled by entries on Windows NT4 is:
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software
\Microsoft
\Windows

\Explorer
\User Shell Folders\
</pre><p>
</p><p>
The above hive key contains a list of automatically managed folders. The default entries are:

MS Windows XP Home Edition does use default per user profiles, but can not participate
in domain security, can not log onto an NT/ADS style domain, and thus can obtain the profile
only from itself. While there are benefits in doing this the beauty of those MS Windows
clients that CAN participate in domain logon processes allows the administrator to create
a global default profile and to enforce it through the use of Group Policy Objects (GPOs).
</p></div><p>
When a new user first logs onto MS Windows 200x/XP machine the default profile is obtained from
<tt>C:\Documents and Settings\Default User</tt>. The administrator can modify (or change
the contents of this location and MS Windows 200x/XP will gladly use it. This is far from the optimum
arrangement since it will involve copying a new default profile to every MS Windows 200x/XP client
workstation.
</p><p>
When MS Windows 200x/XP participate in a domain security context, and if the default user
profile is not found, then the client will search for a default profile in the NETLOGON share
of the authenticating server. ie: In MS Windows parlance:
<tt>%LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\Default User</tt> and if one exits there it will copy this
to the workstation to the <tt>C:\Documents and Settings\</tt> under the Windows
login name of the user.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
This path translates, in Samba parlance, to the smb.conf [NETLOGON] share. The directory
should be created at the root of this share and must be called <tt>Default Profile</tt>.
</p></div><p>
If a default profile does not exist in this location then MS Windows 200x/XP will use the local
default profile.
</p><p>
On loging out, the users' desktop profile will be stored to the location specified in the registry
settings that pertain to the user. If no specific policies have been created, or passed to the client
during the login process (as Samba does automatically), then the user's profile will be written to
the local machine only under the path <tt>C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%</tt>.
</p><p>
Those wishing to modify the default behaviour can do so through three methods:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
Modify the registry keys on the local machine manually and place the new default profile in the
NETLOGON share root - NOT recommended as it is maintenance intensive.
</p></li><li><p>
Create an NT4 style NTConfig.POL file that specified this behaviour and locate this file
in the root of the NETLOGON share along with the new default profile.
</p></li><li><p>
Create a GPO that enforces this through Active Directory, and place the new default profile
in the NETLOGON share.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
The Registry Hive key that affects the behaviour of folders that are part of the default user profile
are controlled by entries on Windows 200x/XP is:
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">

</p><p>
There is also an entry called "Default" that has no value set. The default entry is of type REG_SZ, all
the others are of type REG_EXPAND_SZ.
</p><p>
It makes a huge difference to the speed of handling roaming user profiles if all the folders are
stored on a dedicated location on a network server. This means that it will NOT be necessary to
write the Outlook PST file over the network for every login and logout.
</p><p>
To set this to a network location you could use the following examples:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
%LOGONSERVER%\%USERNAME%\Default Folders
</pre><p>
This would store the folders in the user's home directory under a directory called "Default Folders"
You could also use:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
\\SambaServer\FolderShare\%USERNAME%
</pre><p>
in which case the default folders will be stored in the server named <span class="emphasis"><em>SambaServer</em></span>
in the share called <span class="emphasis"><em>FolderShare</em></span> under a directory that has the name of the MS Windows
user as seen by the Linux/Unix file system.
</p><p>
Please note that once you have created a default profile share, you MUST migrate a user's profile
(default or custom) to it.
</p><p>
MS Windows 200x/XP profiles may be <span class="emphasis"><em>Local</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>Roaming</em></span>.
A roaming profile will be cached locally unless the following registry key is created:
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\winlogon\
"DeleteRoamingCache"=dword:00000001
</pre><p>
In which case, the local cache copy will be deleted on logout.

Samba-3 supports NT4 style domain trust relationships. This is feature that many sites
will want to use if they migrate to Samba-3 from and NT4 style domain and do NOT want to
adopt Active Directory or an LDAP based authentication back end. This section explains
some background information regarding trust relationships and how to create them. It is now
possible for Samba-3 to NT4 trust (and vice versa), as well as Samba3 to Samba3 trusts.
</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2878684"></a>Trust Relationship Background</h2></div></div><p>
MS Windows NT3.x/4.0 type security domains employ a non-hierarchical security structure.
The limitations of this architecture as it affects the scalability of MS Windows networking
in large organisations is well known. Additionally, the flat-name space that results from
this design significantly impacts the delegation of administrative responsibilities in
large and diverse organisations.
</p><p>
Microsoft developed Active Directory Service (ADS), based on Kerberos and LDAP, as a means
of circumventing the limitations of the older technologies. Not every organisation is ready
or willing to embrace ADS. For small companies the older NT4 style domain security paradigm
is quite adequate, there thus remains an entrenched user base for whom there is no direct
desire to go through a disruptive change to adopt ADS.
</p><p>
Microsoft introduced with MS Windows NT the ability to allow differing security domains
to affect a mechanism so that users from one domain may be given access rights and privileges
in another domain. The language that describes this capability is couched in terms of
<span class="emphasis"><em>Trusts</em></span>. Specifically, one domain will <span class="emphasis"><em>trust</em></span> the users
from another domain. The domain from which users are available to another security domain is
said to be a trusted domain. The domain in which those users have assigned rights and privileges
is the trusting domain. With NT3.x/4.0 all trust relationships are always in one direction only,
thus if users in both domains are to have privileges and rights in each others' domain, then it is
necessary to establish two (2) relationships, one in each direction.
</p><p>
In an NT4 style MS security domain, all trusts are non-transitive. This means that if there
are three (3) domains (let's call them RED, WHITE, and BLUE) where RED and WHITE have a trust
relationship, and WHITE and BLUE have a trust relationship, then it holds that there is no
implied trust between the RED and BLUE domains. ie: Relationships are explicit and not
transitive.
</p><p>
New to MS Windows 2000 ADS security contexts is the fact that trust relationships are two-way
by default. Also, all inter-ADS domain trusts are transitive. In the case of the RED, WHITE and BLUE
domains above, with Windows 2000 and ADS the RED and BLUE domains CAN trust each other. This is
an inherent feature of ADS domains. Samba-3 implements MS Windows NT4
style Interdomain trusts and interoperates with MS Windows 200x ADS
security domains in similar manner to MS Windows NT4 style domains.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2881006"></a>Native MS Windows NT4 Trusts Configuration</h2></div></div><p>
There are two steps to creating an interdomain trust relationship.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2881019"></a>NT4 as the Trusting Domain (ie. creating the trusted account)</h3></div></div><p>
For MS Windows NT4, all domain trust relationships are configured using the Domain User Manager.
To affect a two way trust relationship it is necessary for each domain administrator to make
available (for use by an external domain) it's security resources. This is done from the Domain
User Manager Policies entry on the menu bar. From the Policy menu, select Trust Relationships, then
next to the lower box that is labelled "Permitted to Trust this Domain" are two buttons, "Add" and
"Remove". The "Add" button will open a panel in which needs to be entered the remote domain that
will be able to assign user rights to your domain. In addition it is necessary to enter a password
that is specific to this trust relationship. The password needs to be
typed twice (for standard confirmation).
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2881063"></a>NT4 as the Trusted Domain (ie. creating trusted account's password)</h3></div></div><p>
A trust relationship will work only when the other (trusting) domain makes the appropriate connections
with the trusted domain. To consumate the trust relationship the administrator will launch the
Domain User Manager, from the menu select Policies, then select Trust Relationships, then click on the
"Add" button that is next to the box that is labelled "Trusted Domains". A panel will open in
which must be entered the name of the remote domain as well as the password assigned to that trust.
</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2881087"></a>Configuring Samba NT-style Domain Trusts</h2></div></div><p>
This description is meant to be a fairly short introduction about how to set up a Samba server so
that it could participate in interdomain trust relationships. Trust relationship support in Samba
is in its early stage, so lot of things don't work yet.
</p><p>
Each of the procedures described below is treated as they were performed with Windows NT4 Server on
one end. The remote end could just as well be another Samba-3 domain. It can be clearly seen, after
reading this document, that combining Samba-specific parts of what's written below leads to trust
between domains in purely Samba environment.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2881114"></a>Samba-3 as the Trusting Domain</h3></div></div><p>
In order to set the Samba PDC to be the trusted party of the relationship first you need
to create special account for the domain that will be the trusting party. To do that,
you can use the 'smbpasswd' utility. Creating the trusted domain account is very
similiar to creating a trusted machine account. Suppose, your domain is
called SAMBA, and the remote domain is called RUMBA. The first step
will be to issue this command from your favourite shell:
</p><p>
</p><pre class="screen">
<tt>deity#</tt> <b><tt>smbpasswd -a -i rumba</tt></b>
New SMB password: XXXXXXXX
Retype SMB password: XXXXXXXX
Added user rumba$
</pre><p>
where <i><tt>-a</tt></i> means to add a new account into the
passdb database and <i><tt>-i</tt></i> means: ''create this
account with the InterDomain trust flag''
</p><p>
The account name will be 'rumba$' (the name of the remote domain)
</p><p>
After issuing this command you'll be asked to enter the password for
the account. You can use any password you want, but be aware that Windows NT will
not change this password until 7 days following account creation.
After the command returns successfully, you can look at the entry for the new account
(in the stardard way depending on your configuration) and see that account's name is
really RUMBA$ and it has 'I' flag in the flags field. Now you're ready to confirm
the trust by establishing it from Windows NT Server.
</p><p>
Open 'User Manager for Domains' and from menu 'Policies' select 'Trust Relationships...'.
Right beside 'Trusted domains' list box press 'Add...' button. You will be prompted for
the trusted domain name and the relationship password. Type in SAMBA, as this is
your domain name, and the password used at the time of account creation.
Press OK and, if everything went without incident, you will see 'Trusted domain relationship
successfully established' message.

This time activities are somewhat reversed. Again, we'll assume that your domain
controlled by the Samba PDC is called SAMBA and NT-controlled domain is called RUMBA.
</p><p>
The very first thing requirement is to add an account for the SAMBA domain on RUMBA's PDC.
</p><p>
Launch the Domain User Manager, then from the menu select 'Policies', 'Trust Relationships'.
Now, next to 'Trusted Domains' box press the 'Add' button, and type in the name of the trusted
domain (SAMBA) and password securing the relationship.
</p><p>
The password can be arbitrarily chosen. It is easy to change the password
from the Samba server whenever you want. After confirming the password your account is
ready for use. Now it's Samba's turn.
</p><p>
Using your favourite shell while being logged in as root, issue this command:
</p><p>
<tt>deity# </tt><b><tt>net rpc trustdom establish rumba</tt></b>
</p><p>
You will be prompted for the password you just typed on your Windows NT4 Server box.
Do not worry if you see an error message that mentions a returned code of
NT_STATUS_NOLOGON_INTERDOMAIN_TRUST_ACCOUNT. It means the
password you gave is correct and the NT4 Server says the account is
ready for interdomain connection and not for ordinary
connection. After that, be patient it can take a while (especially
in large networks), you should see the 'Success' message. Congratulations! Your trust
relationship has just been established.

A number of Unix systems (eg: Sun Solaris), as well as the
xxxxBSD family and Linux, now utilize the Pluggable Authentication
Modules (PAM) facility to provide all authentication,
authorization and resource control services. Prior to the
introduction of PAM, a decision to use an alternative to
the system password database (<tt>/etc/passwd</tt>)
would require the provision of alternatives for all programs that provide
security services. Such a choice would involve provision of
alternatives to such programs as: <b>login</b>,
<b>passwd</b>, <b>chown</b>, etc.
</p><p>
PAM provides a mechanism that disconnects these security programs
from the underlying authentication/authorization infrastructure.
PAM is configured either through one file <tt>/etc/pam.conf</tt> (Solaris),
or by editing individual files that are located in <tt>/etc/pam.d</tt>.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
If the PAM authentication module (loadable link library file) is located in the
default location then it is not necessary to specify the path. In the case of
Linux, the default location is <tt>/lib/security</tt>. If the module
is located outside the default then the path must be specified as:
</p><pre class="programlisting">

</p></div><p>
The following is an example <tt>/etc/pam.d/login</tt> configuration file.
This example had all options been uncommented is probably not usable
as it stacks many conditions before allowing successful completion
of the login process. Essentially all conditions can be disabled
by commenting them out except the calls to <tt>pam_pwdb.so</tt>.

pam_smbpass is a PAM module which can be used on conforming systems to
keep the smbpasswd (Samba password) database in sync with the unix
password file. PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is an API supported
under some Unices, such as Solaris, HPUX and Linux, that provides a
generic interface to authentication mechanisms.
</p><p>
For more information on PAM, see http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/
</p><p>
This module authenticates a local smbpasswd user database. If you require
support for authenticating against a remote SMB server, or if you're
concerned about the presence of suid root binaries on your system, it is
recommended that you use pam_winbind instead.
</p><pre class="programlisting">
Options recognized by this module are as follows:
debug - log more debugging info
audit - like debug, but also logs unknown usernames
use_first_pass - don't prompt the user for passwords;
take them from PAM_ items instead
try_first_pass - try to get the password from a previous
PAM module, fall back to prompting the user
use_authtok - like try_first_pass, but *fail* if the new
PAM_AUTHTOK has not been previously set.
(intended for stacking password modules only)
not_set_pass - don't make passwords used by this module
available to other modules.
nodelay - don't insert ~1 second delays on authentication
failure.
nullok - null passwords are allowed.
nonull - null passwords are not allowed. Used to
override the Samba configuration.
migrate - only meaningful in an "auth" context;
used to update smbpasswd file with a
password used for successful authentication.
smbconf=< file > - specify an alternate path to the smb.conf
file.

Since samba 3.0, samba supports stackable VFS(Virtual File System) modules.
Samba passes each request to access the unix file system thru the loaded VFS modules.
This chapter covers all the modules that come with the samba source and references to
some external modules.
</p><p>
You may have problems to compile these modules, as shared libraries are
compiled and linked in different ways on different systems.
They currently have been tested against GNU/linux and IRIX.
</p><p>
To use the VFS modules, create a share similar to the one below. The
important parameter is the <b>vfs object</b> parameter which must point to
the exact pathname of the shared library objects. For example, to log all access
to files and use a recycle bin:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
[audit]
comment = Audited /data directory
path = /data
vfs object = /path/to/audit.so /path/to/recycle.so
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
</pre><p>
</p><p>
The modules are used in the order they are specified.
</p><p>
Further documentation on writing VFS modules for Samba can be found in
the Samba Developers Guide.

I have created a VFS module which implements a fairly complete read-only
filesystem. It presents information from a database as a filesystem in
a modular and generic way to allow different databases to be used
(originally designed for organizing MP3s under directories such as
"Artists," "Song Keywords," etc... I have since applied it to a student
roster database very easily). The directory structure is stored in the
database itself and the module makes no assumptions about the database
structure beyond the table it requires to run.
</p><p>
Any feedback would be appreciated: comments, suggestions, patches,
etc... If nothing else, hopefully it might prove useful for someone
else who wishes to create a virtual filesystem.

This section deals with NetBIOS over TCP/IP name to IP address resolution. If
your MS Windows clients are NOT configured to use NetBIOS over TCP/IP then this
section does not apply to your installation. If your installation involves use of
NetBIOS over TCP/IP then this section may help you to resolve networking problems.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
NetBIOS over TCP/IP has nothing to do with NetBEUI. NetBEUI is NetBIOS
over Logical Link Control (LLC). On modern networks it is highly advised
to NOT run NetBEUI at all. Note also that there is NO such thing as
NetBEUI over TCP/IP - the existence of such a protocol is a complete
and utter mis-apprehension.
</p></div><p>
Since the introduction of MS Windows 2000 it is possible to run MS Windows networking
without the use of NetBIOS over TCP/IP. NetBIOS over TCP/IP uses UDP port 137 for NetBIOS
name resolution and uses TCP port 139 for NetBIOS session services. When NetBIOS over
TCP/IP is disabled on MS Windows 2000 and later clients then only TCP port 445 will be
used and UDP port 137 and TCP port 139 will not.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
When using Windows 2000 or later clients, if NetBIOS over TCP/IP is NOT disabled, then
the client will use UDP port 137 (NetBIOS Name Service, also known as the Windows Internet
Name Service or WINS), TCP port 139 AND TCP port 445 (for actual file and print traffic).
</p></div><p>
When NetBIOS over TCP/IP is disabled the use of DNS is essential. Most installations that
disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP today use MS Active Directory Service (ADS). ADS requires
Dynamic DNS with Service Resource Records (SRV RR) and with Incremental Zone Transfers (IXFR).
Use of DHCP with ADS is recommended as a further means of maintaining central control
over client workstation network configuration.

The key configuration files covered in this section are:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><tt>/etc/hosts</tt></p></li><li><p><tt>/etc/resolv.conf</tt></p></li><li><p><tt>/etc/host.conf</tt></p></li><li><p><tt>/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt></p></li></ul></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2883178"></a><tt>/etc/hosts</tt></h3></div></div><p>
Contains a static list of IP Addresses and names.
eg:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
192.168.1.1 bigbox.caldera.com bigbox alias4box
</pre><p>
The purpose of <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> is to provide a
name resolution mechanism so that uses do not need to remember
IP addresses.
</p><p>
Network packets that are sent over the physical network transport
layer communicate not via IP addresses but rather using the Media
Access Control address, or MAC address. IP Addresses are currently
32 bits in length and are typically presented as four (4) decimal
numbers that are separated by a dot (or period). eg: 168.192.1.1
</p><p>
MAC Addresses use 48 bits (or 6 bytes) and are typically represented
as two digit hexadecimal numbers separated by colons. eg:
40:8e:0a:12:34:56
</p><p>
Every network interfrace must have an MAC address. Associated with
a MAC address there may be one or more IP addresses. There is NO
relationship between an IP address and a MAC address, all such assignments
are arbitary or discretionary in nature. At the most basic level all
network communications takes place using MAC addressing. Since MAC
addresses must be globally unique, and generally remains fixed for
any particular interface, the assignment of an IP address makes sense
from a network management perspective. More than one IP address can
be assigned per MAC address. One address must be the primary IP address,
this is the address that will be returned in the ARP reply.
</p><p>
When a user or a process wants to communicate with another machine
the protocol implementation ensures that the "machine name" or "host
name" is resolved to an IP address in a manner that is controlled
by the TCP/IP configuration control files. The file
<tt>/etc/hosts</tt> is one such file.
</p><p>
When the IP address of the destination interface has been
determined a protocol called ARP/RARP is used to identify
the MAC address of the target interface. ARP stands for Address
Resolution Protocol, and is a broadcast oriented method that
uses UDP (User Datagram Protocol) to send a request to all
interfaces on the local network segment using the all 1's MAC
address. Network interfaces are programmed to respond to two
MAC addresses only; their own unique address and the address
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. The reply packet from an ARP request will
contain the MAC address and the primary IP address for each
interface.
</p><p>
The <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> file is foundational to all
Unix/Linux TCP/IP installations and as a minumum will contain
the localhost and local network interface IP addresses and the
primary names by which they are known within the local machine.
This file helps to prime the pump so that a basic level of name
resolution can exist before any other method of name resolution
becomes available.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2883316"></a><tt>/etc/resolv.conf</tt></h3></div></div><p>

</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>The name of the domain to which the machine
belongs
</p></li><li><p>The name(s) of any domains that should be

<tt>/etc/host.conf</tt> is the primary means by
which the setting in /etc/resolv.conf may be affected. It is a
critical configuration file. This file controls the order by
which name resolution may procede. The typical structure is:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
order hosts,bind
multi on
</pre><p>
then both addresses should be returned. Please refer to the
man page for host.conf for further details.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2883403"></a><tt>/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt></h3></div></div><p>
This file controls the actual name resolution targets. The
file typically has resolver object specifications as follows:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Name Service Switch configuration file.
#
passwd: compat
# Alternative entries for password authentication are:
# passwd: compat files nis ldap winbind
shadow: compat

# Alternative entries for host name resolution are:
# hosts: files dns nis nis+ hesoid db compat ldap wins
networks: nis files dns
ethers: nis files
protocols: nis files
rpc: nis files
services: nis files
</pre><p>
Of course, each of these mechanisms requires that the appropriate
facilities and/or services are correctly configured.
</p><p>
It should be noted that unless a network request/message must be
sent, TCP/IP networks are silent. All TCP/IP communications assumes a
principal of speaking only when necessary.
</p><p>
Starting with version 2.2.0 samba has Linux support for extensions to
the name service switch infrastructure so that linux clients will
be able to obtain resolution of MS Windows NetBIOS names to IP
Addresses. To gain this functionality Samba needs to be compiled
with appropriate arguments to the make command (ie: <b>make
nsswitch/libnss_wins.so</b>). The resulting library should
then be installed in the <tt>/lib</tt> directory and
the "wins" parameter needs to be added to the "hosts:" line in
the <tt>/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt> file. At this point it
will be possible to ping any MS Windows machine by it's NetBIOS
machine name, so long as that machine is within the workgroup to
which both the samba machine and the MS Windows machine belong.
</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2883498"></a>Name resolution as used within MS Windows networking</h2></div></div><p>
MS Windows networking is predicated about the name each machine
is given. This name is known variously (and inconsistently) as
the "computer name", "machine name", "networking name", "netbios name",
"SMB name". All terms mean the same thing with the exception of
"netbios name" which can apply also to the name of the workgroup or the
domain name. The terms "workgroup" and "domain" are really just a
simply name with which the machine is associated. All NetBIOS names
are exactly 16 characters in length. The 16th character is reserved.
It is used to store a one byte value that indicates service level
information for the NetBIOS name that is registered. A NetBIOS machine
name is therefore registered for each service type that is provided by
the client/server.
</p><p>
The following are typical NetBIOS name/service type registrations:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
Unique NetBIOS Names:
MACHINENAME<00> = Server Service is running on MACHINENAME
MACHINENAME<03> = Generic Machine Name (NetBIOS name)
MACHINENAME<20> = LanMan Server service is running on MACHINENAME
WORKGROUP<1b> = Domain Master Browser
Group Names:
WORKGROUP<03> = Generic Name registered by all members of WORKGROUP
WORKGROUP<1c> = Domain Controllers / Netlogon Servers
WORKGROUP<1d> = Local Master Browsers
WORKGROUP<1e> = Internet Name Resolvers
</pre><p>
It should be noted that all NetBIOS machines register their own
names as per the above. This is in vast contrast to TCP/IP
installations where traditionally the system administrator will
determine in the /etc/hosts or in the DNS database what names
are associated with each IP address.
</p><p>
One further point of clarification should be noted, the <tt>/etc/hosts</tt>
file and the DNS records do not provide the NetBIOS name type information
that MS Windows clients depend on to locate the type of service that may
be needed. An example of this is what happens when an MS Windows client
wants to locate a domain logon server. It finds this service and the IP
address of a server that provides it by performing a lookup (via a
NetBIOS broadcast) for enumeration of all machines that have
registered the name type *<1c>. A logon request is then sent to each
IP address that is returned in the enumerated list of IP addresses. Which
ever machine first replies then ends up providing the logon services.
</p><p>
The name "workgroup" or "domain" really can be confusing since these
have the added significance of indicating what is the security
architecture of the MS Windows network. The term "workgroup" indicates
that the primary nature of the network environment is that of a
peer-to-peer design. In a WORKGROUP all machines are responsible for
their own security, and generally such security is limited to use of
just a password (known as SHARE MODE security). In most situations
with peer-to-peer networking the users who control their own machines
will simply opt to have no security at all. It is possible to have
USER MODE security in a WORKGROUP environment, thus requiring use
of a user name and a matching password.
</p><p>
MS Windows networking is thus predetermined to use machine names
for all local and remote machine message passing. The protocol used is
called Server Message Block (SMB) and this is implemented using
the NetBIOS protocol (Network Basic Input Output System). NetBIOS can
be encapsulated using LLC (Logical Link Control) protocol - in which case
the resulting protocol is called NetBEUI (Network Basic Extended User
Interface). NetBIOS can also be run over IPX (Internetworking Packet
Exchange) protocol as used by Novell NetWare, and it can be run
over TCP/IP protocols - in which case the resulting protocol is called
NBT or NetBT, the NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
</p><p>
MS Windows machines use a complex array of name resolution mechanisms.
Since we are primarily concerned with TCP/IP this demonstration is
limited to this area.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2883030"></a>The NetBIOS Name Cache</h3></div></div><p>
All MS Windows machines employ an in memory buffer in which is
stored the NetBIOS names and IP addresses for all external
machines that that machine has communicated with over the
past 10-15 minutes. It is more efficient to obtain an IP address
for a machine from the local cache than it is to go through all the
configured name resolution mechanisms.
</p><p>
If a machine whose name is in the local name cache has been shut
down before the name had been expired and flushed from the cache, then
an attempt to exchange a message with that machine will be subject
to time-out delays. i.e.: Its name is in the cache, so a name resolution
lookup will succeed, but the machine can not respond. This can be
frustrating for users - but it is a characteristic of the protocol.
</p><p>
The MS Windows utility that allows examination of the NetBIOS
name cache is called "nbtstat". The Samba equivalent of this
is called "nmblookup".
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2883069"></a>The LMHOSTS file</h3></div></div><p>
This file is usually located in MS Windows NT 4.0 or
2000 in <tt>C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC</tt> and contains
the IP Address and the machine name in matched pairs. The
<tt>LMHOSTS</tt> file performs NetBIOS name
to IP address mapping.
</p><p>
It typically looks like:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
# Copyright (c) 1998 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample LMHOSTS file used by the Microsoft Wins Client (NetBIOS
# over TCP/IP) stack for Windows98
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to NT computernames
# (NetBIOS) names. Each entry should be kept on an individual line.
# The IP address should be placed in the first column followed by the
# corresponding computername. The address and the comptername
# should be separated by at least one space or tab. The "#" character
# is generally used to denote the start of a comment (see the exceptions
# below).
#
# This file is compatible with Microsoft LAN Manager 2.x TCP/IP lmhosts
# files and offers the following extensions:
#
# #PRE
# #DOM:<domain>
# #INCLUDE <filename>
# #BEGIN_ALTERNATE
# #END_ALTERNATE
# \0xnn (non-printing character support)
#
# Following any entry in the file with the characters "#PRE" will cause
# the entry to be preloaded into the name cache. By default, entries are
# not preloaded, but are parsed only after dynamic name resolution fails.
#
# Following an entry with the "#DOM:<domain>" tag will associate the
# entry with the domain specified by <domain>. This affects how the
# browser and logon services behave in TCP/IP environments. To preload
# the host name associated with #DOM entry, it is necessary to also add a
# #PRE to the line. The <domain> is always preloaded although it will not
# be shown when the name cache is viewed.
#
# Specifying "#INCLUDE <filename>" will force the RFC NetBIOS (NBT)
# software to seek the specified <filename> and parse it as if it were
# local. <filename> is generally a UNC-based name, allowing a
# centralized lmhosts file to be maintained on a server.
# It is ALWAYS necessary to provide a mapping for the IP address of the
# server prior to the #INCLUDE. This mapping must use the #PRE directive.
# In addtion the share "public" in the example below must be in the
# LanManServer list of "NullSessionShares" in order for client machines to
# be able to read the lmhosts file successfully. This key is under
# \machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters\nullsessionshares
# in the registry. Simply add "public" to the list found there.
#
# The #BEGIN_ and #END_ALTERNATE keywords allow multiple #INCLUDE
# statements to be grouped together. Any single successful include
# will cause the group to succeed.
#
# Finally, non-printing characters can be embedded in mappings by
# first surrounding the NetBIOS name in quotations, then using the
# \0xnn notation to specify a hex value for a non-printing character.
#
# The following example illustrates all of these extensions:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino #PRE #DOM:networking #net group's DC
# 102.54.94.102 "appname \0x14" #special app server
# 102.54.94.123 popular #PRE #source server
# 102.54.94.117 localsrv #PRE #needed for the include
#
# #BEGIN_ALTERNATE
# #INCLUDE \\localsrv\public\lmhosts
# #INCLUDE \\rhino\public\lmhosts
# #END_ALTERNATE
#
# In the above example, the "appname" server contains a special
# character in its name, the "popular" and "localsrv" server names are
# preloaded, and the "rhino" server name is specified so it can be used
# to later #INCLUDE a centrally maintained lmhosts file if the "localsrv"
# system is unavailable.
#
# Note that the whole file is parsed including comments on each lookup,

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.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2883619"></a>Using host based protection</h2></div></div><p>
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.
</p><p>
One of the simplest fixes in this case is to use the <b>hosts allow</b> and
<b>hosts deny</b> options in the Samba <tt>smb.conf</tt> configuration file to only
allow access to your server from a specific range of hosts. An example
might be:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.3.0/24
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
</pre><p>
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 as soon
as the client sends its first packet. The refusal will be marked as a
'not listening on called name' error.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2884070"></a>Using interface protection</h2></div></div><p>
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.
</p><p>
You can change this behaviour using options like the following:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
interfaces = eth* lo
bind interfaces only = yes
</pre><p>
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.
</p><p>
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 samba process.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2884122"></a>Using a firewall</h2></div></div><p>
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.
</p><p>
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:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
UDP/137 - used by nmbd
UDP/138 - used by nmbd
TCP/139 - used by smbd
TCP/445 - used by smbd
</pre><p>
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.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2884164"></a>Using a IPC$ share deny</h2></div></div><p>
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.
</p><p>
To do that you could use:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
[ipc$]
hosts allow = 192.168.115.0/24 127.0.0.1
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
</pre><p>
this would tell Samba that IPC$ 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.
</p><p>
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.
</p><p>
This is not recommended unless you cannot use one of the other
methods listed above for some reason.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2883724"></a>NTLMv2 Security</h2></div></div><p>
To configure NTLMv2 authentication the following registry keys are worth knowing about:
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
"lmcompatibilitylevel"=dword:00000003
0x3 - Send NTLMv2 response only. Clients will use NTLMv2 authentication,
use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain
controllers accept LM, NTLM and NTLMv2 authentication.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0]
"NtlmMinClientSec"=dword:00080000
0x80000 - NTLMv2 session security. If either NtlmMinClientSec or
NtlmMinServerSec is set to 0x80000, the connection will fail if NTLMv2
session security is not negotiated.

Computers communicate in numbers. In texts, each number will be
translated to a corresponding letter. The meaning that will be assigned
to a certain number depends on the <span class="emphasis"><em>character set(charset)
</em></span> that is used.
A charset can be seen as a table that is used to translate numbers to
letters. Not all computers use the same charset (there are charsets
with German umlauts, Japanese characters, etc). Usually a charset contains
256 characters, which means that storing a character with it takes
exactly one byte. </p><p>
There are also charsets that support even more characters,
but those need twice(or even more) as much storage space. These
charsets can contain <b>256 * 256 = 65536</b> characters, which
is more then all possible characters one could think of. They are called
multibyte charsets (because they use more then one byte to
store one character).
</p><p>
A standardised multibyte charset is unicode, info is available at
<a href="http://www.unicode.org/" target="_top">www.unicode.org</a>.
A big advantage of using a multibyte charset is that you only need one; no
need to make sure two computers use the same charset when they are
communicating.
</p><p>Old windows clients used to use single-byte charsets, named
'codepages' by microsoft. However, there is no support for
negotiating the charset to be used in the smb protocol. Thus, you
have to make sure you are using the same charset when talking to an old client.
Newer clients (Windows NT, 2K, XP) talk unicode over the wire.

One area which sometimes causes trouble is locking.
</p><p>
There are two types of locking which need to be performed by a SMB server.
The first is <span class="emphasis"><em>record locking</em></span> which allows a client to lock
a range of bytes in a open file. The second is the <span class="emphasis"><em>deny modes</em></span>
that are specified when a file is open.
</p><p>
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.
</p><p>
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.
</p><p>
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 <span class="emphasis"><em>strict locking = yes</em></span> then it
will make lock checking calls on every read and write.
</p><p>
You can also disable by range locking completely using <span class="emphasis"><em>locking = no</em></span>.
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.
</p><p>
The second class of locking is the <span class="emphasis"><em>deny modes</em></span>. 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.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2884872"></a>Samba Opportunistic Locking Control</h2></div></div><p>
Opportunistic locking essentially means that the client is allowed to download and cache
a file on their hard drive while making changes; if a second client wants to access the
file, the first client receives a break and must synchronise the file back to the server.
This can give significant performance gains in some cases; some programs insist on
synchronising the contents of the entire file back to the server for a single change.
</p><p>
Level1 Oplocks (aka just plain "oplocks") is another term for opportunistic locking.
</p><p>
Level2 Oplocks provids opportunistic locking for a file that will be treated as
<span class="emphasis"><em>read only</em></span>. Typically this is used on files that are read-only or
on files that the client has no initial intention to write to at time of opening the file.
</p><p>
Kernel Oplocks are essentially a method that allows the Linux kernel to co-exist with
Samba's oplocked files, although this has provided better integration of MS Windows network
file locking with the under lying OS, SGI IRIX and Linux are the only two OS's that are
oplock aware at this time.
</p><p>
Unless your system supports kernel oplocks, you should disable oplocks if you are
accessing the same files from both Unix/Linux and SMB clients. Regardless, oplocks should
always be disabled if you are sharing a database file (e.g., Microsoft Access) between
multiple clients, as any break the first client receives will affect synchronisation of
the entire file (not just the single record), which will result in a noticable performance
impairment and, more likely, problems accessing the database in the first place. Notably,
Microsoft Outlook's personal folders (*.pst) react very badly to oplocks. If in doubt,
disable oplocks and tune your system from that point.
</p><p>
If client-side caching is desirable and reliable on your network, you will benefit from
turning on oplocks. If your network is slow and/or unreliable, or you are sharing your
files among other file sharing mechanisms (e.g., NFS) or across a WAN, or multiple people
will be accessing the same files frequently, you probably will not benefit from the overhead
of your client sending oplock breaks and will instead want to disable oplocks for the share.
</p><p>
Another factor to consider is the perceived performance of file access. If oplocks provide no
measurable speed benefit on your network, it might not be worth the hassle of dealing with them.
</p><p>
You can disable oplocks on a per-share basis with the following:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
oplocks = False
level2 oplocks = False
</pre><p>
Alternately, you could disable oplocks on a per-file basis within the share:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.MDB/*.dbf/*.DBF/
</pre><p>
</p><p>
If you are experiencing problems with oplocks as apparent from Samba's log entries,
you may want to play it safe and disable oplocks and level2 oplocks.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2884987"></a>MS Windows Opportunistic Locking and Caching Controls</h2></div></div><p>
There is a known issue when running applications (like Norton Anti-Virus) on a Windows 2000/ XP
workstation computer that can affect any application attempting to access shared database files
across a network. This is a result of a default setting configured in the Windows 2000/XP
operating system known as <span class="emphasis"><em>Opportunistic Locking</em></span>. When a workstation
attempts to access shared data files located on another Windows 2000/XP computer,
the Windows 2000/XP operating system will attempt to increase performance by locking the
files and caching information locally. When this occurs, the application is unable to
properly function, which results in an <span class="emphasis"><em>Access Denied</em></span>
error message being displayed during network operations.
</p><p>
All Windows operating systems in the NT family that act as database servers for data files
(meaning that data files are stored there and accessed by other Windows PCs) may need to
have opportunistic locking disabled in order to minimize the risk of data file corruption.
This includes Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT, Windows 200x and Windows XP.
</p><p>
If you are using a Windows NT family workstation in place of a server, you must also
disable opportunistic locking (oplocks) on that workstation. For example, if you use a
PC with the Windows NT Workstation operating system instead of Windows NT Server, and you
have data files located on it that are accessed from other Windows PCs, you may need to
disable oplocks on that system.
</p><p>
The major difference is the location in the Windows registry where the values for disabling
oplocks are entered. Instead of the LanManServer location, the LanManWorkstation location
may be used.
</p><p>
You can verify (or change or add, if necessary) this Registry value using the Windows
Registry Editor. When you change this registry value, you will have to reboot the PC
to ensure that the new setting goes into effect.
</p><p>
The location of the client registry entry for opportunistic locking has changed in
Windows 2000 from the earlier location in Microsoft Windows NT.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Windows 2000 will still respect the EnableOplocks registry value used to disable oplocks
in earlier versions of Windows.
</p></div><p>
You can also deny the granting of opportunistic locks by changing the following registry entries:
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MRXSmb\Parameters\
OplocksDisabled REG_DWORD 0 or 1
Default: 0 (not disabled)
</pre><p>
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
The OplocksDisabled registry value configures Windows clients to either request or not
request opportunistic locks on a remote file. To disable oplocks, the value of
OplocksDisabled must be set to 1.
</p></div><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
EnableOplocks REG_DWORD 0 or 1
Default: 1 (Enabled by Default)
EnableOpLockForceClose REG_DWORD 0 or 1
Default: 0 (Disabled by Default)
</pre><p>
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
The EnableOplocks value configures Windows-based servers (including Workstations sharing
files) to allow or deny opportunistic locks on local files.
</p></div><p>
To force closure of open oplocks on close or program exit EnableOpLockForceClose must be set to 1.
</p><p>
An illustration of how level II oplocks work:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
Station 1 opens the file, requesting oplock.
</p></li><li><p>
Since no other station has the file open, the server grants station 1 exclusive oplock.
</p></li><li><p>
Station 2 opens the file, requesting oplock.
</p></li><li><p>
Since station 1 has not yet written to the file, the server asks station 1 to Break
to Level II Oplock.
</p></li><li><p>
Station 1 complies by flushing locally buffered lock information to the server.
</p></li><li><p>
Station 1 informs the server that it has Broken to Level II Oplock (alternatively,
station 1 could have closed the file).
</p></li><li><p>
The server responds to station 2's open request, granting it level II oplock.
Other stations can likewise open the file and obtain level II oplock.
</p></li><li><p>
Station 2 (or any station that has the file open) sends a write request SMB.
The server returns the write response.
</p></li><li><p>
The server asks all stations that have the file open to Break to None, meaning no
station holds any oplock on the file. Because the workstations can have no cached
writes or locks at this point, they need not respond to the break-to-none advisory;
all they need do is invalidate locally cashed read-ahead data.

</p><p>
We have credible reports from developers that faulty network hardware, such as a single
faulty network card, can cause symptoms similar to read caching and data corruption.
If you see persistent data corruption even after repeated reindexing, you may have to
rebuild the data files in question. This involves creating a new data file with the
same definition as the file to be rebuilt and transferring the data from the old file
to the new one. There are several known methods for doing this that can be found in

This file contains a list of tests you can perform to validate your
Samba server. It also tells you what the likely cause of the problem
is if it fails any one of these steps. If it passes all these tests
then it is probably working fine.
</p><p>
You should do ALL the tests, in the order shown. We have tried to
carefully choose them so later tests only use capabilities verified in
the earlier tests. However, do not stop at the first error as there
have been some instances when continuing with the tests has helped
to solve a problem.
</p><p>
If you send one of the samba mailing lists an email saying "it doesn't work"
and you have not followed this test procedure then you should not be surprised
if your email is ignored.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2884810"></a>Assumptions</h2></div></div><p>
In all of the tests it is assumed you have a Samba server called
BIGSERVER and a PC called ACLIENT both in workgroup TESTGROUP.
</p><p>
The procedure is similar for other types of clients.
</p><p>
It is also assumed you know the name of an available share in your
<tt>smb.conf</tt>. I will assume this share is called <i><tt>tmp</tt></i>.
You can add a <i><tt>tmp</tt></i> share like this by adding the
following to <tt>smb.conf</tt>:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
[tmp]
comment = temporary files
path = /tmp
read only = yes
</pre><p>
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
These tests assume version 3.0 or later of the samba suite.
Some commands shown did not exist in earlier versions.
</p></div><p>
Please pay attention to the error messages you receive. If any error message
reports that your server is being unfriendly you should first check that your
IP name resolution is correctly set up. eg: Make sure your <tt>/etc/resolv.conf</tt>
file points to name servers that really do exist.
</p><p>
Also, if you do not have DNS server access for name resolution please check
that the settings for your <tt>smb.conf</tt> file results in <b>dns proxy = no</b>. The
best way to check this is with <b><tt>testparm smb.conf</tt></b>.
</p><p>
It is helpful to monitor the log files during testing by using the
<b>tail -F <i><tt>log_file_name</tt></i></b> in a separate
terminal console (use ctrl-alt-F1 through F6 or multiple terminals in X).
Relevant log files can be found (for default installations) in
<tt>/usr/local/samba/var</tt>. Also, connection logs from
machines can be found here or possibly in <tt>/var/log/samba</tt>
depending on how or if you specified logging in your <tt>smb.conf</tt> file.
</p><p>
If you make changes to your <tt>smb.conf</tt> file while going through these test,
don't forget to restart smbd and nmbd.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2793401"></a>The tests</h2></div></div><div class="procedure"><p class="title"><b>Procedure 27.1. Diagnosing your samba server</b></p><ol type="1"><li><p>
In the directory in which you store your <tt>smb.conf</tt> file, run the command
<b><tt>testparm smb.conf</tt></b>. If it reports any errors then your <tt>smb.conf</tt>
configuration file is faulty.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Your <tt>smb.conf</tt> file may be located in: <tt>/etc/samba</tt>
Or in: <tt>/usr/local/samba/lib</tt>
</p></div></li><li><p>
Run the command <b><tt>ping BIGSERVER</tt></b> from the PC and
<b><tt>ping ACLIENT</tt></b> from
the unix box. If you don't get a valid response then your TCP/IP
software is not correctly installed.
</p><p>
Note that you will need to start a "dos prompt" window on the PC to
run ping.
</p><p>
If you get a message saying "host not found" or similar then your DNS
software or <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> file is not correctly setup.
It is possible to
run samba without DNS entries for the server and client, but I assume
you do have correct entries for the remainder of these tests.
</p><p>
Another reason why ping might fail is if your host is running firewall
software. You will need to relax the rules to let in the workstation
in question, perhaps by allowing access from another subnet (on Linux
this is done via the ipfwadm program.)
</p><p>
Note: Modern Linux distributions install ipchains/iptables by default.
This is a common problem that is often overlooked.
</p></li><li><p>
Run the command <b><tt>smbclient -L BIGSERVER</tt></b> on the unix box. You
should get a list of available shares back.
</p><p>
If you get a error message containing the string "Bad password" then
you probably have either an incorrect <b>hosts allow</b>,
<b>hosts deny</b> or <b>valid users</b> line in your
<tt>smb.conf</tt>, or your guest account is not
valid. Check what your guest account is using testparm and
temporarily remove any <b>hosts allow</b>, <b>hosts deny</b>, <b>valid users</b> or <b>invalid users</b> lines.
</p><p>
If you get a "connection refused" response then the smbd server may
not be running. If you installed it in inetd.conf then you probably edited
that file incorrectly. If you installed it as a daemon then check that
it is running, and check that the netbios-ssn port is in a LISTEN
state using <b><tt>netstat -a</tt></b>.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Some Unix / Linux systems use <b>xinetd</b> in place of
<b>inetd</b>. Check your system documentation for the location
of the control file/s for your particular system implementation of
this network super daemon.
</p></div><p>
If you get a "session request failed" then the server refused the
connection. If it says "Your server software is being unfriendly" then
its probably because you have invalid command line parameters to smbd,
or a similar fatal problem with the initial startup of smbd. Also
check your config file (<tt>smb.conf</tt>) for syntax errors with testparm
and that the various directories where samba keeps its log and lock
files exist.
</p><p>
There are a number of reasons for which smbd may refuse or decline
a session request. The most common of these involve one or more of
the following <tt>smb.conf</tt> file entries:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
hosts deny = ALL
hosts allow = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy
bind interfaces only = Yes
</pre><p>
In the above, no allowance has been made for any session requests that
will automatically translate to the loopback adaptor address 127.0.0.1.
To solve this problem change these lines to:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
hosts deny = ALL
hosts allow = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy 127.
</pre><p>
Do NOT use the <b>bind interfaces only</b> parameter where you
may wish to
use the samba password change facility, or where smbclient may need to
access a local service for name resolution or for local resource
connections. (Note: the <b>bind interfaces only</b> parameter deficiency
where it will not allow connections to the loopback address will be
fixed soon).
</p><p>
Another common cause of these two errors is having something already running
on port 139, such as Samba (ie: smbd is running from inetd already) or
something like Digital's Pathworks. Check your <tt>inetd.conf</tt> file before trying
to start smbd as a daemon, it can avoid a lot of frustration!
</p><p>
And yet another possible cause for failure of this test is when the subnet mask
and / or broadcast address settings are incorrect. Please check that the
network interface IP Address / Broadcast Address / Subnet Mask settings are
correct and that Samba has correctly noted these in the <tt>log.nmb</tt> file.
</p></li><li><p>
Run the command <b><tt>nmblookup -B BIGSERVER __SAMBA__</tt></b>. You should get the
IP address of your Samba server back.
</p><p>
If you don't then nmbd is incorrectly installed. Check your <tt>inetd.conf</tt>
if you run it from there, or that the daemon is running and listening
to udp port 137.
</p><p>
One common problem is that many inetd implementations can't take many
parameters on the command line. If this is the case then create a
one-line script that contains the right parameters and run that from
inetd.
</p></li><li><p>run the command <b><tt>nmblookup -B ACLIENT '*'</tt></b></p><p>
You should get the PCs IP address back. If you don't then the client
software on the PC isn't installed correctly, or isn't started, or you
got the name of the PC wrong.
</p><p>
If ACLIENT doesn't resolve via DNS then use the IP address of the
client in the above test.
</p></li><li><p>
Run the command <b><tt>nmblookup -d 2 '*'</tt></b>
</p><p>
This time we are trying the same as the previous test but are trying
it via a broadcast to the default broadcast address. A number of
Netbios/TCPIP hosts on the network should respond, although Samba may
not catch all of the responses in the short time it listens. You
should see "got a positive name query response" messages from several
hosts.
</p><p>
If this doesn't give a similar result to the previous test then
nmblookup isn't correctly getting your broadcast address through its
automatic mechanism. In this case you should experiment with the
<b>interfaces</b> option in <tt>smb.conf</tt> to manually configure your IP
address, broadcast and netmask.
</p><p>
If your PC and server aren't on the same subnet then you will need to
use the <i><tt>-B</tt></i> option to set the broadcast address to that of the PCs
subnet.
</p><p>
This test will probably fail if your subnet mask and broadcast address are
not correct. (Refer to TEST 3 notes above).
</p></li><li><p>
Run the command <b><tt>smbclient //BIGSERVER/TMP</tt></b>. You should
then be prompted for a password. You should use the password of the account
you are logged into the unix box with. If you want to test with
another account then add the <i><tt>-U <i><tt>accountname</tt></i></tt></i> option to the end of
the command line. eg:
<b><tt>smbclient //bigserver/tmp -Ujohndoe</tt></b>
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
It is possible to specify the password along with the username
as follows:
<b><tt>smbclient //bigserver/tmp -Ujohndoe%secret</tt></b>
</p></div><p>
Once you enter the password you should get the <tt>smb></tt> prompt. If you
don't then look at the error message. If it says "invalid network
name" then the service "tmp" is not correctly setup in your <tt>smb.conf</tt>.
</p><p>
If it says "bad password" then the likely causes are:
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>
you have shadow passords (or some other password system) but didn't
compile in support for them in smbd
</p></li><li><p>
your <b>valid users</b> configuration is incorrect
</p></li><li><p>
you have a mixed case password and you haven't enabled the <b>password
level</b> option at a high enough level
</p></li><li><p>
the <b>path =</b> line in <tt>smb.conf</tt> is incorrect. Check it with testparm
</p></li><li><p>
you enabled password encryption but didn't create the SMB encrypted
password file
</p></li></ol></div><p>
Once connected you should be able to use the commands
<b>dir</b> <b>get</b> <b>put</b> etc.
Type <b>help <i><tt>command</tt></i></b> for instructions. You should
especially check that the amount of free disk space shown is correct
when you type <b>dir</b>.
</p></li><li><p>
On the PC, type the command <b><tt>net view \\BIGSERVER</tt></b>. You will
need to do this from within a "dos prompt" window. You should get back a
list of available shares on the server.
</p><p>
If you get a "network name not found" or similar error then netbios
name resolution is not working. This is usually caused by a problem in
nmbd. To overcome it you could do one of the following (you only need
to choose one of them):
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>
fixup the nmbd installation
</p></li><li><p>
add the IP address of BIGSERVER to the <b>wins server</b> box in the
advanced tcp/ip setup on the PC.
</p></li><li><p>
enable windows name resolution via DNS in the advanced section of
the tcp/ip setup
</p></li><li><p>
add BIGSERVER to your lmhosts file on the PC.
</p></li></ol></div><p>
If you get a "invalid network name" or "bad password error" then the
same fixes apply as they did for the <b><tt>smbclient -L</tt></b> test above. In
particular, make sure your <b>hosts allow</b> line is correct (see the man
pages)
</p><p>
Also, do not overlook that fact that when the workstation requests the
connection to the samba server it will attempt to connect using the
name with which you logged onto your Windows machine. You need to make
sure that an account exists on your Samba server with that exact same
name and password.
</p><p>
If you get "specified computer is not receiving requests" or similar
it probably means that the host is not contactable via tcp services.
Check to see if the host is running tcp wrappers, and if so add an entry in
the <tt>hosts.allow</tt> file for your client (or subnet, etc.)
</p></li><li><p>
Run the command <b><tt>net use x: \\BIGSERVER\TMP</tt></b>. You should
be prompted for a password then you should get a "command completed
successfully" message. If not then your PC software is incorrectly
installed or your smb.conf is incorrect. make sure your <b>hosts allow</b>
and other config lines in <tt>smb.conf</tt> are correct.
</p><p>
It's also possible that the server can't work out what user name to
connect you as. To see if this is the problem add the line <b>user =
<i><tt>username</tt></i></b> to the <b>[tmp]</b> section of
<tt>smb.conf</tt> where <i><tt>username</tt></i> is the
username corresponding to the password you typed. If you find this
fixes things you may need the username mapping option.
</p><p>
It might also be the case that your client only sends encrypted passwords
and you have <b>encrypt passwords = no</b> in <tt>smb.conf</tt>
Turn it back on to fix.
</p></li><li><p>
Run the command <b><tt>nmblookup -M <i><tt>testgroup</tt></i></tt></b> where
<i><tt>testgroup</tt></i> is the name of the workgroup that your Samba server and
Windows PCs belong to. You should get back the IP address of the
master browser for that workgroup.
</p><p>
If you don't then the election process has failed. Wait a minute to
see if it is just being slow then try again. If it still fails after
that then look at the browsing options you have set in <tt>smb.conf</tt>. Make
sure you have <b>preferred master = yes</b> to ensure that
an election is held at startup.
</p></li><li><p>
>From file manager try to browse the server. Your samba server should
appear in the browse list of your local workgroup (or the one you
specified in smb.conf). You should be able to double click on the name
of the server and get a list of shares. If you get a "invalid
password" error when you do then you are probably running WinNT and it
is refusing to browse a server that has no encrypted password
capability and is in user level security mode. In this case either set
<b>security = server</b> AND
<b>password server = Windows_NT_Machine</b> in your
<tt>smb.conf</tt> file, or make sure <b>encrypted passwords</b> is
set to "yes".

There are many sources of information available in the form
of mailing lists, RFC's and documentation. The docs that come
with the samba distribution contain very good explanations of
general SMB topics such as browsing.</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2790687"></a>Diagnostics tools</h2></div></div><p>
One of the best diagnostic tools for debugging problems is Samba itself.
You can use the -d option for both smbd and nmbd to specify what
'debug level' at which to run. See the man pages on smbd, nmbd and
smb.conf for more information on debugging options. The debug
level can range from 1 (the default) to 10 (100 for debugging passwords).
</p><p>
Another helpful method of debugging is to compile samba using the
<b>gcc -g </b> flag. This will include debug
information in the binaries and allow you to attach gdb to the
running smbd / nmbd process. In order to attach gdb to an smbd
process for an NT workstation, first get the workstation to make the
connection. Pressing ctrl-alt-delete and going down to the domain box
is sufficient (at least, on the first time you join the domain) to
generate a 'LsaEnumTrustedDomains'. Thereafter, the workstation
maintains an open connection, and therefore there will be an smbd
process running (assuming that you haven't set a really short smbd
idle timeout) So, in between pressing ctrl alt delete, and actually
typing in your password, you can attach gdb and continue.
</p><p>
Some useful samba commands worth investigating:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>testparam | more</p></li><li><p>smbclient -L //{netbios name of server}</p></li></ul></div><p>
An SMB enabled version of tcpdump is available from
<a href="http://www.tcpdump.org/" target="_top">http://www.tcpdup.org/</a>.
Ethereal, another good packet sniffer for Unix and Win32
hosts, can be downloaded from <a href="http://www.ethereal.com/" target="_top">http://www.ethereal.com</a>.
</p><p>
For tracing things on the Microsoft Windows NT, Network Monitor
(aka. netmon) is available on the Microsoft Developer Network CD's,
the Windows NT Server install CD and the SMS CD's. The version of
netmon that ships with SMS allows for dumping packets between any two
computers (i.e. placing the network interface in promiscuous mode).
The version on the NT Server install CD will only allow monitoring
of network traffic directed to the local NT box and broadcasts on the
local subnet. Be aware that Ethereal can read and write netmon
formatted files.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2887096"></a>Installing 'Network Monitor' on an NT Workstation or a Windows 9x box</h2></div></div><p>
Installing netmon on an NT workstation requires a couple
of steps. The following are for installing Netmon V4.00.349, which comes
with Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, on Microsoft Windows NT
Workstation 4.0. The process should be similar for other versions of
Windows NT / Netmon. You will need both the Microsoft Windows
NT Server 4.0 Install CD and the Workstation 4.0 Install CD.
</p><p>
Initially you will need to install 'Network Monitor Tools and Agent'
on the NT Server. To do this
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Goto Start - Settings - Control Panel -
Network - Services - Add </p></li><li><p>Select the 'Network Monitor Tools and Agent' and
click on 'OK'.</p></li><li><p>Click 'OK' on the Network Control Panel.
</p></li><li><p>Insert the Windows NT Server 4.0 install CD
when prompted.</p></li></ul></div><p>
At this point the Netmon files should exist in
<tt>%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\netmon\*.*</tt>.
Two subdirectories exist as well, <tt>parsers\</tt>
which contains the necessary DLL's for parsing the netmon packet
dump, and <tt>captures\</tt>.
</p><p>
In order to install the Netmon tools on an NT Workstation, you will
first need to install the 'Network Monitor Agent' from the Workstation
install CD.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Goto Start - Settings - Control Panel -
Network - Services - Add</p></li><li><p>Select the 'Network Monitor Agent' and click
on 'OK'.</p></li><li><p>Click 'OK' on the Network Control Panel.
</p></li><li><p>Insert the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 install
CD when prompted.</p></li></ul></div><p>
Now copy the files from the NT Server in %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\netmon\*.*
to %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\netmon\*.* on the Workstation and set
permissions as you deem appropriate for your site. You will need
administrative rights on the NT box to run netmon.
</p><p>
To install Netmon on a Windows 9x box install the network monitor agent
from the Windows 9x CD (\admin\nettools\netmon). There is a readme
file located with the netmon driver files on the CD if you need
information on how to do this. Copy the files from a working
Netmon installation.

There are a number of Samba related mailing lists. Go to <a href="http://samba.org" target="_top">http://samba.org</a>, click on your nearest mirror
and then click on <b>Support</b> and then click on <b>
Samba related mailing lists</b>.
</p><p>
For questions relating to Samba TNG go to
<a href="http://www.samba-tng.org/" target="_top">http://www.samba-tng.org/</a>
It has been requested that you don't post questions about Samba-TNG to the
main stream Samba lists.</p><p>
If you post a message to one of the lists please observe the following guide lines :
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p> Always remember that the developers are volunteers, they are
not paid and they never guarantee to produce a particular feature at
a particular time. Any time lines are 'best guess' and nothing more.
</p></li><li><p> Always mention what version of samba you are using and what
operating system its running under. You should probably list the
relevant sections of your <tt>smb.conf</tt> file, at least the options
in [global] that affect PDC support.</p></li><li><p>In addition to the version, if you obtained Samba via
CVS mention the date when you last checked it out.</p></li><li><p> Try and make your question clear and brief, lots of long,
convoluted questions get deleted before they are completely read !
Don't post html encoded messages (if you can select colour or font
size its html).</p></li><li><p> If you run one of those nifty 'I'm on holidays' things when
you are away, make sure its configured to not answer mailing lists.
</p></li><li><p> Don't cross post. Work out which is the best list to post to
and see what happens, i.e. don't post to both samba-ntdom and samba-technical.
Many people active on the lists subscribe to more
than one list and get annoyed to see the same message two or more times.
Often someone will see a message and thinking it would be better dealt
with on another, will forward it on for you.</p></li><li><p>You might include <span class="emphasis"><em>partial</em></span>
log files written at a debug level set to as much as 20.
Please don't send the entire log but enough to give the context of the
error messages.</p></li><li><p>(Possibly) If you have a complete netmon trace ( from the opening of
the pipe to the error ) you can send the *.CAP file as well.</p></li><li><p>Please think carefully before attaching a document to an email.
Consider pasting the relevant parts into the body of the message. The samba
mailing lists go to a huge number of people, do they all need a copy of your
smb.conf in their attach directory?</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2887497"></a>How to get off the mailinglists</h2></div></div><p>To have your name removed from a samba mailing list, go to the

Please take the time to read this file before you submit a bug
report. Also, please see if it has changed between releases, as we
may be changing the bug reporting mechanism at some time.
</p><p>
Please also do as much as you can yourself to help track down the
bug. Samba is maintained by a dedicated group of people who volunteer
their time, skills and efforts. We receive far more mail about it than
we can possibly answer, so you have a much higher chance of an answer
and a fix if you send us a "developer friendly" bug report that lets
us fix it fast.
</p><p>
Do not assume that if you post the bug to the comp.protocols.smb
newsgroup or the mailing list that we will read it. If you suspect that your
problem is not a bug but a configuration problem then it is better to send
it to the Samba mailing list, as there are (at last count) 5000 other users on
that list that may be able to help you.
</p><p>
You may also like to look though the recent mailing list archives,
which are conveniently accessible on the Samba web pages
at <a href="http://samba.org/samba/" target="_top">http://samba.org/samba/</a>.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2886937"></a>General info</h2></div></div><p>
Before submitting a bug report check your config for silly
errors. Look in your log files for obvious messages that tell you that
you've misconfigured something and run testparm to test your config
file for correct syntax.
</p><p>
Have you run through the <a href="#diagnosis" title="Chapter 27. The samba checklist">diagnosis</a>?
This is very important.
</p><p>
If you include part of a log file with your bug report then be sure to
annotate it with exactly what you were doing on the client at the
time, and exactly what the results were.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2887713"></a>Debug levels</h2></div></div><p>
If the bug has anything to do with Samba behaving incorrectly as a
server (like refusing to open a file) then the log files will probably
be very useful. Depending on the problem a log level of between 3 and
10 showing the problem may be appropriate. A higher level givesmore
detail, but may use too much disk space.
</p><p>
To set the debug level use <b>log level =</b> in your
<tt>smb.conf</tt>. You may also find it useful to set the log
level higher for just one machine and keep separate logs for each machine.
To do this use:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
log level = 10
log file = /usr/local/samba/lib/log.%m
include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m
</pre><p>
then create a file
<tt>/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.<i><tt>machine</tt></i></tt> where
<i><tt>machine</tt></i> is the name of the client you wish to debug. In that file
put any <tt>smb.conf</tt> commands you want, for example
<b>log level=</b> may be useful. This also allows you to
experiment with different security systems, protocol levels etc on just
one machine.
</p><p>
The <tt>smb.conf</tt> entry <b>log level =</b>
is synonymous with the entry <b>debuglevel =</b> that has been
used in older versions of Samba and is being retained for backwards
compatibility of <tt>smb.conf</tt> files.
</p><p>
As the <b>log level =</b> value is increased you will record
a significantly increasing level of debugging information. For most
debugging operations you may not need a setting higher than 3. Nearly
all bugs can be tracked at a setting of 10, but be prepared for a VERY
large volume of log data.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2887849"></a>Internal errors</h2></div></div><p>
If you get a "INTERNAL ERROR" message in your log files it means that
Samba got an unexpected signal while running. It is probably a
segmentation fault and almost certainly means a bug in Samba (unless
you have faulty hardware or system software).
</p><p>
If the message came from smbd then it will probably be accompanied by
a message which details the last SMB message received by smbd. This
info is often very useful in tracking down the problem so please
include it in your bug report.
</p><p>
You should also detail how to reproduce the problem, if
possible. Please make this reasonably detailed.
</p><p>
You may also find that a core file appeared in a <tt>corefiles</tt>
subdirectory of the directory where you keep your samba log
files. This file is the most useful tool for tracking down the bug. To
use it you do this:
</p><p><b>gdb smbd core</b></p><p>
adding appropriate paths to smbd and core so gdb can find them. If you
don't have gdb then try <b><tt>dbx</tt></b>. Then within the debugger use the
command <b><tt>where</tt></b> to give a stack trace of where the problem
occurred. Include this in your mail.
</p><p>
If you know any assembly language then do a <b><tt>disass</tt></b> of the routine
where the problem occurred (if its in a library routine then
disassemble the routine that called it) and try to work out exactly
where the problem is by looking at the surrounding code. Even if you
don't know assembly then incuding this info in the bug report can be
useful.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2887942"></a>Attaching to a running process</h2></div></div><p>
Unfortunately some unixes (in particular some recent linux kernels)
refuse to dump a core file if the task has changed uid (which smbd
does often). To debug with this sort of system you could try to attach
to the running process using <b><tt>gdb smbd <i><tt>PID</tt></i></tt></b> where you get <i><tt>PID</tt></i> from
smbstatus. Then use <b><tt>c</tt></b> to continue and try to cause the core dump
using the client. The debugger should catch the fault and tell you
where it occurred.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2887989"></a>Patches</h2></div></div><p>
The best sort of bug report is one that includes a fix! If you send us
patches please use <b><tt>diff -u</tt></b> format if your version of
diff supports it, otherwise use <b><tt>diff -c4</tt></b>. Make sure
you do the diff against a clean version of the source and let me know
exactly what version you used.

You can obtain the samba source from the <a href="http://samba.org/" target="_top">samba website</a>. To obtain a development version,
you can download samba from CVS or using rsync.
</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2887580"></a>Access Samba source code via CVS</h2></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2887587"></a>Introduction</h3></div></div><p>
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.
</p><p>
This chapter is a modified version of the instructions found at
<a href="http://samba.org/samba/cvs.html" target="_top">http://samba.org/samba/cvs.html</a>
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2887620"></a>CVS Access to samba.org</h3></div></div><p>
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.
</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2887636"></a>Access via CVSweb</h4></div></div><p>
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.
</p><p>
Use the URL : <a href="http://samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb" target="_top">http://samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb</a>
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2888200"></a>Access via cvs</h4></div></div><p>
You can also access the source code via a
normal cvs client. This gives you much more control over what 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.
</p><p>
To download the latest cvs source code, point your
browser at the URL : <a href="http://www.cyclic.com/" target="_top">http://www.cyclic.com/</a>.
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.
</p><p>
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
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>
Install a recent copy of cvs. All you really need is a
copy of the cvs client binary.
</p></li><li><p>
Run the command
</p><p>
<b><tt>cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot login</tt></b>
</p><p>
When it asks you for a password type <b><tt>cvs</tt></b>.
</p></li><li><p>
Run the command
</p><p>
<b><tt>cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot co samba</tt></b>
</p><p>
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.
</p><p>
CVS branches other then HEAD can be obtained by using the <i><tt>-r</tt></i>
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 userinput.
</p><p>
<b><tt>cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot co -r SAMBA_2_2 samba</tt></b>
</p></li><li><p>
Whenever you want to merge in the latest code changes use
the following command from within the samba directory:
</p><p>
<b><tt>cvs update -d -P</tt></b>
</p></li></ol></div></div></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2888377"></a>Accessing the samba sources via rsync and ftp</h2></div></div><p>
pserver.samba.org also exports unpacked copies of most parts of the CVS tree at <a href="ftp://pserver.samba.org/pub/unpacked" target="_top">ftp://pserver.samba.org/pub/unpacked</a> and also via anonymous rsync at rsync://pserver.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/. I recommend using rsync rather than ftp.
See <a href="http://rsync.samba.org/" target="_top">the rsync homepage</a> for more info on rsync.
</p><p>
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.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2888418"></a>Verifying Samba's PGP signature</h2></div></div><p>
In these days of insecurity, it's strongly recommended that you verify the PGP signature for any
source file before installing it. According to Jerry Carter of the Samba Team, only about 22% of
all Samba downloads have had a corresponding PGP signature download (a very low percentage, which
should be considered a bad thing). Even if you're not downloading from a mirror site, verifying PGP
signatures should be a standard reflex.
</p><p>
With that said, go ahead and download the following files:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
$ wget http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-2.2.8a.tar.asc
$ wget http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-pubkey.asc
</pre><p>
The first file is the PGP signature for the Samba source file; the other is the Samba public
PGP key itself. Import the public PGP key with:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
$ gpg --import samba-pubkey.asc
</pre><p>
And verify the Samba source code integrity with:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
$ gzip -d samba-2.2.8a.tar.gz
$ gpg --verify samba-2.2.8a.tar.asc
</pre><p>
If you receive a message like, "Good signature from Samba Distribution Verification Key..."
then all is well. The warnings about trust relationships can be ignored. An example of what
you would not want to see would be:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
gpg: BAD signature from "Samba Distribution Verification Key"
</pre></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2888501"></a>Building the Binaries</h2></div></div><p>To do this, first run the program <b><tt>./configure
</tt></b> in the source directory. This should automatically
configure Samba for your operating system. If you have unusual
needs then you may wish to run</p><p><tt>root# </tt><b><tt>./configure --help
</tt></b></p><p>first to see what special options you can enable.
Then executing</p><p><tt>root# </tt><b><tt>make</tt></b></p><p>will create the binaries. Once it's successfully
compiled you can use </p><p><tt>root# </tt><b><tt>make install</tt></b></p><p>to install the binaries and manual pages. You can
separately install the binaries and/or man pages using</p><p><tt>root# </tt><b><tt>make installbin
</tt></b></p><p>and</p><p><tt>root# </tt><b><tt>make installman
</tt></b></p><p>Note that if you are upgrading for a previous version
of Samba you might like to know that the old versions of

This is a rough guide to assist those wishing to migrate from NT4 domain control to
Samba-3 based domain control.
</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2888159"></a>Planning and Getting Started</h2></div></div><p>
In the IT world there is often a saying that all problems are encountered because of
poor planning. The corrollary to this saying is that not all problems can be anticpated
and planned for. Then again, good planning will anticpate most show stopper type situations.
</p><p>
Those wishing to migrate from MS Windows NT4 domain control to a Samba-3 domain control
environment would do well to develop a detailed migration plan. So here are a few pointers to
help migration get under way.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2888028"></a>Objectives</h3></div></div><p>
The key objective for most organisations will be to make the migration from MS Windows NT4
to Samba-3 domain control as painless as possible. One of the challenges you may experience
in your migration process may well be one of convincing management that the new environment
should remain in place. Many who have introduced open source technologies have experienced
pressure to return to a Microsoft based platform solution at the first sign of trouble.
</p><p>
It is strongly advised that before attempting a migration to a Samba-3 controlled network
that every possible effort be made to gain all-round commitment to the change. Firstly, you
should know precisely <span class="emphasis"><em>why</em></span> the change is important for the organisation.
Possible motivations to make a change include:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Improve network manageability</p></li><li><p>Obtain better user level functionality</p></li><li><p>Reduce network operating costs</p></li><li><p>Reduce exposure caused by Microsoft withdrawal of NT4 support</p></li><li><p>Avoid MS License 6 implications</p></li><li><p>Reduce organisation's dependency on Microsoft</p></li></ul></div><p>
It is vital that it be well recognised that Samba-3 is NOT MS Windows NT4. Samba-3 offers
an alternative solution that is both different from MS Windows NT4 and that offers some
advantages compared with it. It should also be recognised that Samba-3 lacks many of the
features that Microsoft has promoted as core values in migration from MS Windows NT4 to
MS Windows 2000 and beyond (with or without Active Directory services).
</p><p>
What are the features that Samba-3 can NOT provide?
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Active Directory Server</p></li><li><p>Group Policy Objects (in Active Direcrtory)</p></li><li><p>Machine Policy objects</p></li><li><p>Logon Scripts in Active Directorty</p></li><li><p>Software Application and Access Controls in Active Directory</p></li></ul></div><p>
The features that Samba-3 DOES provide and that may be of compelling interest to your site
includes:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Lower Cost of Ownership</p></li><li><p>Global availability of support with no strings attached</p></li><li><p>Dynamic SMB Servers (ie:Can run more than one server per Unix/Linux system)</p></li><li><p>Creation of on-the-fly logon scripts</p></li><li><p>Creation of on-the-fly Policy Files</p></li><li><p>Greater Stability, Reliability, Performance and Availability</p></li><li><p>Manageability via an ssh connection</p></li><li><p>Flexible choices of back-end authentication technologies (tdbsam, ldapsam, mysqlsam)</p></li><li><p>Ability to implement a full single-signon architecture</p></li><li><p>Ability to distribute authentication systems for absolute minimum wide area network bandwidth demand</p></li></ul></div><p>
Before migrating a network from MS Windows NT4 to Samba-3 it is vital that all necessary factors are
considered. Users should be educated about changes they may experience so that the change will be a
welcome one and not become an obstacle to the work they need to do. The following are some of the
factors that will go into a successful migration:
</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2889498"></a>Domain Layout</h4></div></div><p>
Samba-3 can be configured as a domain controller, a back-up domain controller (probably best called
a secondary controller), a domain member, or as a stand-alone server. The Windows network security
domain context should be sized and scoped before implementation. Particular attention needs to be
paid to the location of the primary domain controller (PDC) as well as backup controllers (BDCs).
It should be noted that one way in which Samba-3 differs from Microsoft technology is that if one
chooses to use an LDAP authentication backend then the same database can be used by several different
domains. This means that in a complex organisation there can be a single LDAP database, that itself
can be distributed, that can simultaneously serve multiple domains (that can also be widely distributed).
</p><p>
It is recommended that from a design perspective, the number of users per server, as well as the number
of servers, per domain should be scaled according to needs and should also consider server capacity
and network bandwidth.
</p><p>
A physical network segment may house several domains, each of which may span multiple network segments.
Where domains span routed network segments it is most advisable to consider and test the performance
implications of the design and layout of a network. A Centrally located domain controller that is being
designed to serve mulitple routed network segments may result in severe performance problems if the
response time (eg: ping timing) between the remote segment and the PDC is more than 100 ms. In situations
where the delay is too long it is highly recommended to locate a backup controller (BDC) to serve as
the local authentication and access control server.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2889551"></a>Server Share and Directory Layout</h4></div></div><p>
There are few cardinal rules to effective network design that can be broken with impunity.
The most important rule of effective network management is that simplicity is king in every
well controlled network. Every part of the infrastructure must be managed, the more complex
it is, the greater will be the demand of keeping systems secure and functional.
</p><p>
The nature of the data that must be stored needs to be born in mind when deciding how many
shares must be created. The physical disk space layout should also be taken into account
when designing where share points will be created. Keep in mind that all data needs to be
backed up, thus the simpler the disk layout the easier it will be to keep track of what must
be backed up to tape or other off-line storage medium. Always plan and implement for minimum
maintenance. Leave nothing to chance in your design, above all, do not leave backups to chance:
Backup and test, validate every backup, create a disaster recovery plan and prove that it works.
</p><p>
Users should be grouped according to data access control needs. File and directory access
is best controlled via group permissions and the use of the "sticky bit" on group controlled
directories may substantially avoid file access complaints from samba share users.
</p><p>
Many network administrators who are new to the game will attempt to use elaborate techniques
to set access controls, on files, directories, shares, as well as in share definitions.
There is the ever present danger that that administrator's successor will not understand the
complex mess that has been inherited. Remember, apparent job security through complex design
and implementation may ultimately cause loss of operations and downtime to users as the new
administrator learns to untangle your web. Keep access controls simple and effective and
make sure that users will never be interrupted by the stupidity of complexity.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2889612"></a>Logon Scripts</h4></div></div><p>
Please refer to the section of this document on Advanced Network Adminsitration for information
regarding the network logon script options for Samba-3. Logon scripts can help to ensure that
all users gain share and printer connections they need.
</p><p>
Logon scripts can be created on-the-fly so that all commands executed are specific to the
rights and privilidges granted to the user. The preferred controls should be affected through
group membership so that group information can be used to custom create a logong script using
the <tt>root preexec</tt> parameters to the <tt>NETLOGON</tt> share.
</p><p>
Some sites prefer to use a tool such as <tt>kixstart</tt> to establish a controlled
user environment. In any case you may wish to do a google search for logon script process controls.
In particular, you may wish to explore the use of the Microsoft knowledgebase article KB189105 that
deals with how to add printers without user intervention via the logon script process.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2889670"></a>Profile Migration/Creation</h4></div></div><p>
User and Group Profiles may be migrated using the tools described in the section titled Desktop Profile
Management.
</p><p>
Profiles may also be managed using the Samba-3 tool <tt>profiles</tt>. This tool allows
the MS Windows NT style security identifiers (SIDs) that are stored inside the profile NTuser.DAT file
to be changed to the SID of the Samba-3 domain.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2889700"></a>User and Group Accounts</h4></div></div><p>
It is possible to migrate all account settings from an MS Windows NT4 domain to Samba-3. Before
attempting to migrate user and group accounts it is STRONGLY advised to create in Samba-3 the
groups that are present on the MS Windows NT4 domain <span class="emphasis"><em>AND</em></span> to connect these to
suitable Unix/Linux groups. Following this simple advice will mean that all user and group attributes
should migrate painlessly.
</p></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2889725"></a>Steps In Migration Process</h3></div></div><p>
The approximate migration process is described below.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
You will have an NT4 PDC that has the users, groups, policies and profiles to be migrated
</p></li><li><p>

</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2889980"></a>Migration Options</h2></div></div><p>
Based on feedback from many sites as well as from actual installation and maintenance
experience sites that wish to migrate from MS Windows NT4 Domain Control to a Samba

platforms provide is not always compatible. This chapter contains
platform-specific information about compiling and using samba.</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2889273"></a>HPUX</h2></div></div><p>
HP's implementation of supplementary groups is, er, non-standard (for
hysterical reasons). There are two group files, /etc/group and
/etc/logingroup; the system maps UIDs to numbers using the former, but
initgroups() reads the latter. Most system admins who know the ropes
symlink /etc/group to /etc/logingroup (hard link doesn't work for reasons
too stupid to go into here). initgroups() will complain if one of the
groups you're in in /etc/logingroup has what it considers to be an invalid
ID, which means outside the range [0..UID_MAX], where UID_MAX is (I think)
60000 currently on HP-UX. This precludes -2 and 65534, the usual 'nobody'
GIDs.
</p><p>
If you encounter this problem, make sure that the programs that are failing
to initgroups() be run as users not in any groups with GIDs outside the
allowed range.
</p><p>This is documented in the HP manual pages under setgroups(2) and passwd(4).
</p><p>
On HPUX you must use gcc or the HP Ansi compiler. The free compiler
that comes with HP-UX is not Ansi compliant and cannot compile
Samba.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2889171"></a>SCO Unix</h2></div></div><p>
If you run an old version of SCO Unix then you may need to get important
TCP/IP patches for Samba to work correctly. Without the patch, you may
encounter corrupt data transfers using samba.
</p><p>
The patch you need is UOD385 Connection Drivers SLS. It is available from
SCO (ftp.sco.com, directory SLS, files uod385a.Z and uod385a.ltr.Z).
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2889194"></a>DNIX</h2></div></div><p>
DNIX has a problem with seteuid() and setegid(). These routines are
needed for Samba to work correctly, but they were left out of the DNIX
C library for some reason.
</p><p>
For this reason Samba by default defines the macro NO_EID in the DNIX
section of includes.h. This works around the problem in a limited way,
but it is far from ideal, some things still won't work right.
</p><p>
To fix the problem properly you need to assemble the following two
functions and then either add them to your C library or link them into
Samba.

</p><p>
They test it against Windows 95, Windows NT and samba for
compatibility issues. At the time of writing, DAVE was at version
1.0.1. The 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 update is available as a free download from
the Thursby web site (the speed of finder copies has been greatly
enhanced, and there are bug-fixes included).
</p><p>
Alternatives - There are two free implementations of AppleTalk for
several kinds of UNIX machnes, and several more commercial ones.
These products allow you to run file services and print services
natively to Macintosh users, with no additional support required on
the Macintosh. The two free omplementations are

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.
</p><p>
In order to server profiles successfully to Windows 2000 SP2
clients (when not operating as a PDC), Samba must have
<b>nt acl support = no</b>
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
<a href="smb.conf.5.html" target="_top">smb.conf(5)</a> man page
for more details on this option. Also note that the
<b>nt acl support</b> parameter was formally a global parameter in
releases prior to Samba 2.2.2.
</p><p>
The following is a minimal profile share:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
[profile]
path = /export/profile
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
nt acl support = no
read only = no
</pre><p>
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.
</p><p>
By disabling the <b>nt acl support</b> 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
</p><p><b>DOMAIN\user "Full Control"</b></p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>This bug does not occur when using winbind to

There are many and varied opinions regarding the usefulness or otherwise of SWAT.
No matter how hard one tries to produce the perfect configuration tool it remains
an object of personal taste. SWAT is a tool that will allow web based configuration
of samba. It has a wizard that may help to get samba configured quickly, it has context
sensitive help on each smb.conf parameter, it provides for monitoring of current state
of connection information, and it allows network wide MS Windows network password
management.
</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2890961"></a>SWAT Features and Benefits</h2></div></div><p>
There are network administrators who believe that it is a good idea to write systems
documentation inside configuration files, for them SWAT will aways be a nasty tool. SWAT
does not store the configuration file in any intermediate form, rather, it stores only the
parameter settings, so when SWAT writes the smb.conf file to disk it will write only
those parameters that are at other than the default settings. The result is that all comments
will be lost from the smb.conf file. Additionally, the parameters will be written back in
internal ordering.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
So before using SWAT please be warned - SWAT will completely replace your smb.conf with
a fully optimised file that has been stripped of all comments you might have placed there
and only non-default settings will be written to the file.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2890837"></a>Enabling SWAT for use</h3></div></div><p>
SWAT should be installed to run via the network super daemon. Depending on which system
your Unix/Linux system has you will have either an <tt>inetd</tt> or
<tt>xinetd</tt> based system.
</p><p>
The nature and location of the network super-daemon varies with the operating system
implementation. The control file (or files) can be located in the file
<tt>/etc/inetd.conf</tt> or in the directory <tt>/etc/[x]inet.d</tt>
or similar.
</p><p>
The control entry for the older style file might be:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
# swat is the Samba Web Administration Tool
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat
</pre><p>
A control file for the newer style xinetd could be:
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
# default: off
# description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \
# to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \
# connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser.
service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
only_from = localhost
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = yes
}
</pre><p>
</p><p>
Both the above examples assume that the <tt>swat</tt> binary has been
located in the <tt>/usr/sbin</tt> directory. In addition to the above
SWAT will use a directory access point from which it will load it's help files
as well as other control information. The default location for this on most Linux
systems is in the directory <tt>/usr/share/samba/swat</tt>. The default
location using samba defaults will be <tt>/usr/local/samba/swat</tt>.
</p><p>
Access to SWAT will prompt for a logon. If you log onto SWAT as any non-root user
the only permission allowed is to view certain aspects of configuration as well as
access to the password change facility. The buttons that will be exposed to the non-root
user are: <span class="emphasis"><em>HOME, STATUS, VIEW, PASSWORD</em></span>. The only page that allows
change capability in this case is <span class="emphasis"><em>PASSWORD</em></span>.
</p><p>
So long as you log onto SWAT as the user <b>root</b> you should obtain
full change and commit ability. The buttons that will be exposed includes:
<span class="emphasis"><em>HOME, GLOBALS, SHARES, PRINTERS, WIZARD, STATUS, VIEW, PASSWORD</em></span>.

The SWAT title page provides access to the latest Samba documentation. The manual page for
each samba component is accessible from this page as are the Samba-HOWTO-Collection (this
document) as well as the O'Reilly book "Using Samba".
</p><p>
Administrators who wish to validate their samba configuration may obtain useful information
from the man pages for the diganostic utilities. These are available from the SWAT home page
also. One diagnostic tool that is NOT mentioned on this page, but that is particularly
useful is <b>ethereal</b>, available from <a href="http://www.ethereal.com" target="_top">
http://www.ethereal.com</a>.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
SWAT can be configured to run in <span class="emphasis"><em>demo</em></span> mode. This is NOT recommended
as it runs SWAT without authentication and with full administrative ability. ie: Allows
changes to smb.conf as well as general operation with root privilidges. The option that
creates this ability is the <b>-a</b> flag to swat. DO NOT USE THIS IN ANY
PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT - you have been warned!
</p></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2892010"></a>Global Settings</h3></div></div><p>
The Globals button will expose a page that allows configuration of the global parameters
in smb.conf. There are three levels of exposure of the parameters:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
<b>Basic</b> - exposes common configuration options.
</p></li><li><p>
<b>Advanced</b> - exposes configuration options needed in more
complex environments.
</p></li><li><p>
<b>Developer</b> - exposes configuration options that only the brave
will want to tamper with.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
To switch to other than <span class="emphasis"><em>Basic</em></span> editing ability click on either the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Advanced</em></span> or the <span class="emphasis"><em>Developer</em></span> dial, then click the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Commit Changes</em></span> button.
</p><p>
After making any changes to configuration parameters make sure that you click on the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Commit Changes</em></span> button before moving to another area otherwise
your changes will be immediately lost.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
SWAT has context sensitive help. To find out what each parameter is for simply click the
<b>Help</b> link to the left of the configurartion parameter.
</p></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2892118"></a>Share Settings</h3></div></div><p>
To affect a currenly configured share, simply click on the pull down button between the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Choose Share</em></span> and the <span class="emphasis"><em>Delete Share</em></span> buttons,
select the share you wish to operate on, then to edit the settings click on the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Choose Share</em></span> button, to delete the share simply press the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Delete Share</em></span> button.
</p><p>
To create a new share, next to the button labelled <span class="emphasis"><em>Create Share</em></span> enter
into the text field the name of the share to be created, then click on the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Create Share</em></span> button.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2892167"></a>Printers Settings</h3></div></div><p>
To affect a currenly configured printer, simply click on the pull down button between the

select the printer you wish to operate on, then to edit the settings click on the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Choose Printer</em></span> button, to delete the share simply press the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Delete Printer</em></span> button.
</p><p>
To create a new printer, next to the button labelled <span class="emphasis"><em>Create Printer</em></span> enter

</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2892216"></a>The SWAT Wizard</h3></div></div><p>
The purpose if the SWAT Wizard is to help the Microsoft knowledgable network administrator
to configure Samba with a minimum of effort.
</p><p>
The Wizard page provides a tool for rewiting the smb.conf file in fully optimised format.
This will also happen if you press the commit button. The two differ in the the rewrite button
ignores any changes that may have been made, while the Commit button causes all changes to be
affected.
</p><p>
The <span class="emphasis"><em>Edit</em></span> button permits the editing (setting) of the minimal set of
options that may be necessary to create a working samba server.
</p><p>
Finally, there are a limited set of options that will determine what type of server samba
will be configured for, whether it will be a WINS server, participate as a WINS client, or
operate with no WINS support. By clicking on one button you can elect to epose (or not) user
home directories.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2892261"></a>The Status Page</h3></div></div><p>
The status page serves a limited purpose. Firstly, it allows control of the samba daemons.
The key daemons that create the samba server environment are: <b> smbd, nmbd, winbindd</b>.
</p><p>
The daemons may be controlled individually or as a total group. Additionally, you may set
an automatic screen refresh timing. As MS Windows clients interact with Samba new smbd processes
will be continually spawned. The auto-refresh facility will allow you to track the changing
conditions with minimal effort.
</p><p>
Lastly, the Status page may be used to terminate specific smbd client connections in order to
free files that may be locked.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2892300"></a>The View Page</h3></div></div><p>
This page allows the administrator to view the optimised smb.conf file and if you are
particularly massochistic will permit you also to see all possible global configuration
parameters and their settings.
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2892316"></a>The Password Change Page</h3></div></div><p>
The Password Change page is a popular tool. This tool allows the creation, deletion, deactivation
and reactivation of MS Windows networking users on the local machine. Alternatively, you can use
this tool to change a local password for a user account.
</p><p>
When logged in as a non-root account the user will have to provide the old password as well as
the new password (twice). When logged in as <b>root</b> only the new password is
required.
</p><p>
One popular use for this tool is to change user passwords across a range of remote MS Windows
servers.

The Samba server uses TCP to talk to the client. Thus if you are
trying to see if it performs well you should really compare it to
programs that use the same protocol. The most readily available
programs for file transfer that use TCP are ftp or another TCP based
SMB server.
</p><p>
If you want to test against something like a NT or WfWg server then
you will have to disable all but TCP on either the client or
server. Otherwise you may well be using a totally different protocol
(such as Netbeui) and comparisons may not be valid.
</p><p>
Generally you should find that Samba performs similarly to ftp at raw
transfer speed. It should perform quite a bit faster than NFS,
although this very much depends on your system.
</p><p>
Several people have done comparisons between Samba and Novell, NFS or
WinNT. In some cases Samba performed the best, in others the worst. I
suspect the biggest factor is not Samba vs some other system but the
hardware and drivers used on the various systems. Given similar
hardware Samba should certainly be competitive in speed with other
systems.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2891653"></a>Socket options</h2></div></div><p>
There are a number of socket options that can greatly affect the
performance of a TCP based server like Samba.
</p><p>
The socket options that Samba uses are settable both on the command
line with the -O option, or in the smb.conf file.
</p><p>
The <b>socket options</b> section of the <tt>smb.conf</tt> manual page describes how
to set these and gives recommendations.
</p><p>
Getting the socket options right can make a big difference to your
performance, but getting them wrong can degrade it by just as
much. The correct settings are very dependent on your local network.
</p><p>
The socket option TCP_NODELAY is the one that seems to make the
biggest single difference for most networks. Many people report that
adding <b>socket options = TCP_NODELAY</b> doubles the read
performance of a Samba drive. The best explanation I have seen for this is
that the Microsoft TCP/IP stack is slow in sending tcp ACKs.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2892541"></a>Read size</h2></div></div><p>
The option <b>read size</b> affects the overlap of disk
reads/writes with network reads/writes. If the amount of data being
transferred in several of the SMB commands (currently SMBwrite, SMBwriteX and
SMBreadbraw) is larger than this value then the server begins writing
the data before it has received the whole packet from the network, or
in the case of SMBreadbraw, it begins writing to the network before
all the data has been read from disk.
</p><p>
This overlapping works best when the speeds of disk and network access
are similar, having very little effect when the speed of one is much
greater than the other.
</p><p>
The default value is 16384, but very little experimentation has been
done yet to determine the optimal value, and it is likely that the best
value will vary greatly between systems anyway. A value over 65536 is
pointless and will cause you to allocate memory unnecessarily.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2892584"></a>Max xmit</h2></div></div><p>
At startup the client and server negotiate a <b>maximum transmit</b> size,
which limits the size of nearly all SMB commands. You can set the
maximum size that Samba will negotiate using the <b>max xmit = </b> option
in <tt>smb.conf</tt>. Note that this is the maximum size of SMB requests that
Samba will accept, but not the maximum size that the *client* will accept.
The client maximum receive size is sent to Samba by the client and Samba
honours this limit.
</p><p>
It defaults to 65536 bytes (the maximum), but it is possible that some
clients may perform better with a smaller transmit unit. Trying values
of less than 2048 is likely to cause severe problems.
</p><p>
In most cases the default is the best option.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2892637"></a>Log level</h2></div></div><p>
If you set the log level (also known as <b>debug level</b>) higher than 2
then you may suffer a large drop in performance. This is because the
server flushes the log file after each operation, which can be very
expensive.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2892660"></a>Read raw</h2></div></div><p>
The <b>read raw</b> operation is designed to be an optimised, low-latency
file read operation. A server may choose to not support it,
however. and Samba makes support for <b>read raw</b> optional, with it
being enabled by default.
</p><p>
In some cases clients don't handle <b>read raw</b> very well and actually
get lower performance using it than they get using the conventional
read operations.
</p><p>
So you might like to try <b>read raw = no</b> and see what happens on your
network. It might lower, raise or not affect your performance. Only
testing can really tell.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2892717"></a>Write raw</h2></div></div><p>
The <b>write raw</b> operation is designed to be an optimised, low-latency
file write operation. A server may choose to not support it,
however. and Samba makes support for <b>write raw</b> optional, with it
being enabled by default.
</p><p>
Some machines may find <b>write raw</b> slower than normal write, in which
case you may wish to change this option.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2892759"></a>Slow Logins</h2></div></div><p>
Slow logins are almost always due to the password checking time. Using
the lowest practical <b>password level</b> will improve things.
</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2892781"></a>Client tuning</h2></div></div><p>
Often a speed problem can be traced to the client. The client (for
example Windows for Workgroups) can often be tuned for better TCP
performance. Check the sections on the various clients in
<a href="#Other-Clients" title="Chapter 33. Samba and other CIFS clients">Samba and Other Clients</a>.
