7                 With this option you can define if a rpc service should be
8                 running internal/embedded in smbd or should be redirected to an
9                 external daemon like Samba4, the endpoint mapper daemon, the
10                 spoolss daemon or the new LSA service daemon. The rpc_server
11                 prefix must be followed by the pipe name, and a value.

14         <para>
15                 This option can be set for each available rpc service in Samba.
16                 The following list shows all available pipe names services you
17                 can modify with this option.

39                 Three possible values currently supported are:
40                 <command moreinfo="none">embedded</command>
41                 <command moreinfo="none">external</command>
42                 <command moreinfo="none">disabled</command>
43         </para>

45         <para>
46                 The classic method is to run every pipe as an internal function
47                 <emphasis>embedded</emphasis> in smbd. The defaults may vary
48                 depending on the service.
49         </para>
50
51         <para>
52                 Choosing the <emphasis>external</emphasis> option allows to run
53                 a separate daemon or even a completely independent (3rd party)
54                 server capable of interfacing with samba via the MS-RPC
55                 interface over named pipes.

58         <para>
59                 Currently in Samba3 we support four daemons, spoolssd, epmd,
60                 lsasd and mdssd. These daemons can be enabled using the
61                 <emphasis>rpc_daemon</emphasis> option. For spoolssd you have
62                 to enable the daemon and proxy the named pipe with:

82                 There is one special option which allows you to enable rpc
83                 services to listen for ncacn_ip_tcp connections too. Currently
84                 this is only used for testing and doesn't scale!
