option allows Samba to act as a local master browser. The preferred master option causes the nmbd daemon to force a browser election on startup. For more information on domain masters and browsing, see /usr/internet/docs/samba/Browsing.txt.
The printing, printcap name, and load printers options configure the Samba server to allow all printers on the Tru64 UNIX system configured with the normal BSD printing mechanism to be used by the Windows clients.
When you install the Samba server, the installation procedure sets the hosts allow option to the name of your DNS domain.
2A separate log file will be maintained for each client. To create a log file that combines all clients, remove the log file line from the Samba server configuration file.
3To support the
lock directory = /usr/local/samba/var/locks share modes = yes
If you are using a directory other than /usr/local/samba/var/locks, specify the full
path of your lock directory instead.
4When you set security to user, UNIX login names and passwords are used for access control. That is, the Samba server will use the authorization mechanism provided by the
operating system. Therefore, the user name and password used to log into the user's PC must be the same as the user name and password used to log into the UNIX system.1
The Samba server (as configured by Internet Express) does not support encrypted passwords. To enable clear text password handling on a Windows 2000 or Windows NT Version 4.0 Service Pack 3 system (or later), you must edit the Registry, as follows:
1.Run regedt32.exe and locate the following key entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters\
2.Add the following value:
EnablePlainTextPassword:REG_DWORD1
Alternatively, use the appropriate registry file such as NT4_PlainPassword.reg or the Win2000_PlainPassword.reg file in the /usr/internet/docs/samba/Registry/ directory (either by double clicking on it, or run regedt32.exe and select Import Registry File from the Registry menu). For a complete explanation of this and other issues about using the Samba server with a Windows NT system, read /usr/internet/docs/samba/ textdocs/WinNT.txt.
To enable clear text password handling on a Windows 98 system or a Windows 95 system with the VRDRUPD.EXE update, you must edit the Registry as follows:
1.Run regedit.exe and locate the following key entry:
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VxD/VNETSUP
2.Create a new DWORD value, EnablePlainTextPassword and set its value to 1.
Alternatively, use the Win95_PlainPassword.reg file in the /usr/internet/docs/ samba/ directory (either by double clicking on it, or run regedit and select Import Registry File from the Registry menu). For a complete explanation of this and other issues regarding using the Samba server with a Windows 95 or Windows 98 system, read /usr/internet/ docs/samba/Win95.txt.
When you set security to server, the Samba server looks for passwords on a remote server (such as a Windows NT server). Specify the name of one or more password server systems using the password server option.
1.Windows NT and Windows 2000 allow users to enter an alternate user name and password if a connection cannot be established using the UNIX user name and password.
