- DESCRIPTION
- This program is part of the samba
- 7 suite.
-
- samba is the server daemon that
- provides filesharing and directory services to Windows clients.
- The server provides filespace and directory services to
- clients using the SMB (or CIFS) protocol and other
- related protocols such as DCE/RPC, LDAP and Kerberos.
-
-
-
- Clients supported include MSCLIENT 3.0 for DOS, Windows for
- Workgroups, Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000/XP/2003,
- OS/2, DAVE for Macintosh, and cifsfs for Linux.
-
- An extensive description of the services that the
- server can provide is given in the man page for the
- configuration file controlling the attributes of those
- services (see smb.conf
- 5. This man page will not describe the
- services, but will concentrate on the administrative aspects
- of running the server.
-
- Please note that there are significant security
- implications to running this server, and the smb.conf
- 5 manual page should be regarded as mandatory reading before
- proceeding with installation.
-
- As of Samba 4, there is a single daemon that incorporates the
- functionality of both smbd and nmbd that are present in older versions
- of Samba.
-
-
-
-
- OPTIONS
-
-
-
- -i
- If this parameter is specified it causes the
- server to run "interactively", not as a daemon, even if the
- server is executed on the command line of a shell. Setting this
- parameter negates the implicit daemon mode when run from the
- command line. samba also logs to standard
- output, as if the -S parameter had been
- given.
-
-
-
-
- -M model
- This parameter can be used to specify the
- "process model" samba should use. This determines
- how concurrent clients are handled. Available process
- models include single (everything in
- a single process), standard (similar
- behaviour to that of Samba 3), thread
- (single process, different threads.

-
-
- FILES
-
-
-
- /etc/rc
- or whatever initialization script your
- system uses).
-
- If running the server as a daemon at startup,
- this file will need to contain an appropriate startup
- sequence for the server.
-
-
-
- /etc/services
- If running the server via the
- meta-daemon inetd, this file
- must contain a mapping of service name (e.g., netbios-ssn)
- to service port (e.g., 139) and protocol type (e.g., tcp).
-
-
-
-
- /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
- This is the default location of the smb.conf
- 5 server configuration file. Other common places that systems
- install this file are /usr/samba/lib/smb.conf
- and /etc/samba/smb.conf.
-
- This file describes all the services the server
- is to make available to clients. See smb.conf
- 5 for more information.

- VERSION
-
- This man page is correct for version 4 of
- the Samba suite.
-
-
-
- DIAGNOSTICS
-
- Most diagnostics issued by the server are logged
- in a specified log file. The log file name is specified
- at compile time, but may be overridden on the command line.
-
- The number and nature of diagnostics available depends
- on the debug level used by the server. If you have problems, set
- the debug level to 3 and peruse the log files.
-
- Most messages are reasonably self-explanatory. Unfortunately,
- at the time this man page was created, there are too many diagnostics
- available in the source code to warrant describing each and every
- diagnostic. At this stage your best bet is still to grep the
- source code and inspect the conditions that gave rise to the
- diagnostics you are seeing.

- AUTHOR
-
- The original Samba software and related utilities
- were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
- by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
- to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
