 	Binary packages of samba are included in almost any Linux or
 	Unix distribution. There are also some packages available at
 	<a href="http://samba.org/" target="_top">the samba homepage</a>.
 	</p><p>If you need to compile samba from source, check the
 	<a href="compiling.html" title="Chapter 36. How to compile SAMBA">appropriate appendix chapter</a>.</p><p>If you have already installed samba, or if your operating system
 	was pre-installed with samba, then you may not need to bother with this
 	chapter. On the other hand, you may want to read this chapter anyhow
 	for information about updating samba.</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2885081"></a>Configuring samba (smb.conf)</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p>
 	Samba's configuration is stored in the <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt> file,
 	that usually resides in <tt class="filename">/etc/samba/smb.conf</tt>
 	or <tt class="filename">/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf</tt>. You can either
 	edit this file yourself or do it using one of the many graphical
 	tools that are available, such as the web-based interface swat, that
 	is included with samba.
 	</p><div xmlns:ns2="" class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2884654"></a>Example Configuration</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>
 	There are sample configuration files in the examples subdirectory in the
 	distribution. I suggest you read them carefully so you can see how the options
 	go together in practice. See the man page for all the options.
 	</p><p>
 	The simplest useful configuration file would be something like this:
 	</p><ns2:p>
 	</ns2:p><pre class="programlisting">
 	[global]
 		workgroup = MYGROUP
 	[homes]
 		guest ok = no
 		read only = no
 	</pre><ns2:p>
 	</ns2:p><p>
 	This will allow connections by anyone with an account on the server, using either
 	their login name or &quot;<i class="parameter"><tt>homes</tt></i>&quot; as the service name.
 	(Note that the workgroup that Samba must also be set.)
 	</p><p>
 	Make sure you put the <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt> file in the same place
 	you specified in the <tt class="filename">Makefile</tt> (the default is to
 	look for it in <tt class="filename">/usr/local/samba/lib/</tt>).
 	</p><p>
 	For more information about security settings for the
 	<i class="parameter"><tt>[homes]</tt></i> share please refer to the chapter
 	<a href="securing-samba.html" title="Chapter 15. Securing Samba">Securing Samba</a>.

 	It's important that you test the validity of your <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt>
 	file using the <span class="application">testparm</span> program. If testparm runs OK
 	then it will list the loaded services. If not it will give an error message.
 	</p><p>
 	Make sure it runs OK and that the services look reasonable before proceeding.
 	</p><p>
 	Always run testparm again when you change <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt>!

 	SWAT is a web-based interface that helps you configure samba.
 	SWAT might not be available in the samba package on your platform,
 	but in a separate package. Please read the swat manpage
 	on compiling, installing and configuring swat from source.
 	</p><p>
 	To launch SWAT just run your favorite web browser and
 	point it at <a href="http://localhost:901/" target="_top">http://localhost:901/</a>. Replace
 	<i class="replaceable"><tt>localhost</tt></i>
 	with the name of the computer you are running samba on if you
 	are running samba on a different computer than your browser.
 	</p><p>
 	Note that you can attach to SWAT from any IP connected
 	machine but connecting from a remote machine leaves your
 	connection open to password sniffing as passwords will be sent
 	in the clear over the wire.

 Samba consists on three core programs:
 <span class="application">nmbd</span>, <span class="application">smbd</span>, <span class="application">winbindd</span>. <span class="application">nmbd</span> is the name server message daemon,
 <span class="application">smbd</span> is the server message daemon, <span class="application">winbindd</span> is the daemon that
 handles communication with Domain Controllers.
 </p><p>
 If your system is NOT running as a WINS server, then there will be one (1) single instance of
  <span class="application">nmbd</span> running on your system. If it is running as a WINS server then there will be
 two (2) instances - one to handle the WINS requests.
 </p><p>
 <span class="application">smbd</span> handles ALL connection requests and then spawns a new process for each client
 connection made. That is why you are seeing so many of them, one (1) per client connection.
 </p><p>
 <span class="application">winbindd</span> will run as one or two daemons, depending on whether or not it is being
 run in &quot;split mode&quot; (in which case there will be two instances).
