The code has a default of one week (10080 minutes) if the parameter is set to 0. Make this the public default of the parameter, instead of hiding it in the code. This change also has the code match the documentation that setting this parameter to 0 disables the check.

libsamba-hostconfig ------------------- This directory contains "libsamba-hostconfig". The libsamba-hostconfig library provides access to all host-wide configuration such as the configured shares, default parameter values and host secret keys. Adding a parameter ------------------ To add or change an smb.conf option, in general you only have to add the documentation to docs-xml/smbdotconf, or change it. In addition to that, if special defaults are needed, the functions loadparm_init() in lib/param/loadparm.c and/or init_globals() in source3/param/loadparm.c need to be adapted accordingly. The rest is generated for you. It is important to get the attributes right in the <samba:parameter ...> tag of the xml files. These determine the details of the generated code. - Supported attributes are name, context, type, constant, function, generated_function, synonym, parm, enumlist, handler, and deprecated. - Supported contexts are 'G' (for global) and 'S' (for share). - Supported types are boolean, boolean-rev, boolean-auto, list, cmdlist, string, ustring, char, integer, bytes, octal, and enum. Using smb.conf parameters in the code ------------------------------------- Call the lpcfg_*() function. To get the lp_ctx, have the caller pass it to you. To get a lp_ctx for the source3/param loadparm system, use: struct loadparm_context *lp_ctx = loadparm_init_s3(tmp_ctx, loadparm_s3_helpers()); Remember to talloc_unlink(tmp_ctx, lp_ctx) the result when you are done! To get a lp_ctx for the lib/param loadparm system, typically the pointer is already set up by popt at startup, and is passed down from cmdline_lp_ctx. In pure source3/ code, you may use lp_*() functions, but are encouraged to use the lpcfg_*() functions so that code can be made common. How does loadparm_init_s3() work? --------------------------------- loadparm_s3_helpers() returns a initialised table of function pointers, pointing at all global lp_*() functions, except for those that return substituted strings (% macros). The lpcfg_*() function then calls this plugged in function, allowing the one function and pattern to use either loadparm system. There is a lot of generated code, here, what generates what? ------------------------------------------------------------ The regular format of the CPP macros in param_functions.c is used to generate up the prototypes (mkproto.pl, mks3param_proto.pl), the service and globals table (mkparamdefs.pl), the glue table (mmks3param.pl) and the initilisation of the glue table (mks3param_ctx_table.pl). I have tried combining some of these, but it just makes the scripts more complex. The CPP macros are defined in and expand in lib/param/loadparm.c and source3/param/loadparm.c to read the values from the generated stuctures. They are CPP #included into these files so that the same macro has two definitions, depending on the system it is loading into. Why was this done, rather than a 'proper' fix, or just using one system or the other? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This was done to allow merging from both ends - merging more parts of the loadparm handling, and merging code that needs to read the smb.conf, without having to do it all at once. Ideally param_functions.c would be generated from param_table.c or (even better) our XML manpage source, and the CPP macros would instead be generated expanded as generated C files, but this is a task nobody has taken on yet.
