The global options are stored as values in the subkey "global"
of the SMBCONF registry key.
The activation is accomplished in smb.conf though a new special
semantic of the "include" parameter: "include = registry" triggers
the processing of the registry global options exactly at the
position of the include statement. Options read from the registry
take the same precedence as parameters loaded from a file via
include. Need to reload the registry globals is detected by
watching the tdb sequence number.
Registry shares are automatically activated when the registry
globals are processed.
So a "registry only" configuration can be realized by an
smb.conf that looks as follows:
================================
[global]
include = registry
================================
The global options and registry shares can be conveniently
edited with the "net conf" utility.
Caveat:
A possible pitfall consists in using "include = registry"
together with the "lock directory" directive in the registry.
This problem will be addressed in the next time.
Note on the code:
Processing of the registry options is accomplished by a function
process_registry_globals() in loadparm.c The current version is
only an interim solution: It is handcoded instead of using the
infrastructure of reg_api.c. The reason for this is that using
reg_api still has too large linker dependencies, bloating virtually
all targets by PASSDB_OBJ, SMBLDAP_OBJ, GROUPDB_OBJ and LDB stuff.
A version of process_registry_globals that uses reg_api is
included but commented out. The goal is to eventually refactor
and restructure the registry code so that one can use the reg_api
to access only the registry tdb and not link all the dynamic
backends with all their linking implications.
