1 ;; This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
2 ;; smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
3 ;; here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
4 ;; many!) most of which are not shown in this example
6 ;; Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) is a comment and
9 ;; Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
10 ;; to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors.
12 ;;======================= Global Settings =====================================
15 ;; workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: REDHAT4
18 ;; server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
19 server string = Samba Server
21 ;; This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
22 ;; connections to machines which are on your local network. The
23 ;; following example restricts access to two C class networks and
24 ;; the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
25 ;; the smb.conf man page
26 ; hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.
28 ;; if you want to automatically load your printer list rather
29 ;; than setting them up individually then you'll need this
30 printcap name = /etc/printcap
33 ;; Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to /etc/passwd
34 ;; otherwise the user "nobody" is used
35 ; guest account = pcguest
37 ;; this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
39 log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
41 ;; Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
44 ;; Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See
45 ;; security_level.txt for details.
47 ;; Use password server option only with security = server
48 ; password server = <NT-Server-Name>
50 ;; Using the following line enables you to customise your configuration
51 ;; on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name
52 ;; of the machine that is connecting
53 ; include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m
55 ;; Most people will find that this option gives better performance.
56 ;; See speed.txt and the manual pages for details
57 socket options = TCP_NODELAY
59 ;; Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces
60 ;; If you have multiple network interfaces then you must list them
61 ;; here. See the man page for details.
62 ; interfaces = 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24
64 ;; Browser Control Options:
65 ;; set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a master
66 ;; browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply
69 ;; OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser
70 ;; elections. The default value should be reasonable
73 ;; Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This
74 ;; allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this
75 ;; if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job
78 ;; Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election on startup
79 ;; and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election
80 ; preferred master = yes
82 ;; Use only if you have an NT server on your network that has been
83 ;; configured at install time to be a primary domain controller.
84 ; domain controller = <NT-Domain-Controller-SMBName>
86 ;; Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for
87 ;; Windows95 workstations.
90 ;; if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or
91 ;; per user logon script
92 ;; run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine)
93 ; logon script = %m.bat
94 ;; run a specific logon batch file per username
95 ; logon script = %u.bat
97 ;; Where to store roving profiles (only for Win95 and WinNT)
98 ;; %L substitutes for this servers netbios name, %U is username
99 ;; You must uncomment the [Profiles] share below
100 ; logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U
102 ;; Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
103 ;; WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's WINS Server
106 ;; WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
107 ;; Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
108 ; wins server = w.x.y.z
110 ;; WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on
111 ;; behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be
112 ;; at least one WINS Server on the network. The default is NO.
