<title>Common Errors</title>
<para>
We all make mistakes. It is Ok to make mistakes, so long as they are made in the right places
and at the right time. A mistake that causes lost productivity is seldom tollerated. A mistake
made in a developmental test lab is expected.
</para>
<para>
Here we look at common mistakes and misapprehensions that have been the subject of discussions
on the samba mailing lists. Many of these are avoidable by doing you homework before attempting
a Samba implementation. Some are the result of misundertanding of the English language. The
English language has many terms of phrase that are potentially vague and may be highly confusing
to those for whom English is not their native tongue.

<title>What makes Samba a SERVER?</title>
<para>
To some the nature of the samba <emphasis>security</emphasis> mode is very obvious, but entirely
wrong all the same. It is assumed that <emphasis>security = server</emphasis> means that Samba
will act as a server. Not so! See above - this setting means that samba will <emphasis>try</emphasis>
to use another SMB server as it's source of user authentication alone.

<title>What makes Samba a Domain Controller?</title>
<para>
The &smb.conf; parameter <emphasis>security = domain</emphasis> does NOT really make Samba behave
as a Domain Controller! This setting means we want samba to be a domain member!
</para>

<sect2>
<title>What makes Samba a Domain Member?</title>
<para>
Guess! So many others do. But whatever you do, do NOT think that <emphasis>security = user</emphasis>
makes Samba act as a domain member. Read the manufacturers manual before the warranty expires!
