If a match is found, it is used. If no match is found, the -requested section name is treated as a user name and looked up in the -local password file. If the name exists and the correct password has -been given, a share is created by cloning the [homes] section. -<p>Some modifications are then made to the newly created share: -<p><dl> -<p><li > The share name is changed from <code>'homes'</code> to the located -username -<p><li > If no path was given, the path is set to the user's home -directory. -<p></dl> -<p>If you decide to use a <a href="smb.conf.5.html#path"><strong>path=</strong></a> line in your [homes] -section then you may find it useful to use the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#percentS"><strong>%S</strong></a> -macro. For example : -<p><code>path=/data/pchome/%S</code> -<p>would be useful if you have different home directories for your PCs -than for UNIX access. -<p>This is a fast and simple way to give a large number of clients access -to their home directories with a minimum of fuss. -<p>A similar process occurs if the requested section name is <code>"homes"</code>, -except that the share name is not changed to that of the requesting -user. This method of using the [homes] section works well if different -users share a client PC. -<p>The [homes] section can specify all the parameters a normal service -section can specify, though some make more sense than others. The -following is a typical and suitable [homes] section: -<p><pre> - - [homes] - writeable = yes - -</pre> - -<p>An important point is that if guest access is specified in the [homes] -section, all home directories will be visible to all clients -<strong>without a password</strong>. In the very unlikely event that this is -actually desirable, it would be wise to also specify <a href="smb.conf.5.html#readonly"><strong>read only -access</strong></a>. -<p>Note that the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#browseable"><strong>browseable</strong></a> flag for auto home -directories will be inherited from the global browseable flag, not the -[homes] browseable flag. This is useful as it means setting -browseable=no in the [homes] section will hide the [homes] share but -make any auto home directories visible. -<p><a name="printers"></a> -<p></p><dt><strong><strong>The [printers] section</strong></strong><dd> -<p>This section works like <a href="smb.conf.5.html#homes"><strong>[homes]</strong></a>, but for printers. -<p>If a <strong>[printers]</strong> section occurs in the configuration file, users are -able to connect to any printer specified in the local host's printcap -file. -<p>When a connection request is made, the existing sections are -scanned. If a match is found, it is used. If no match is found, but a -<a href="smb.conf.5.html#homes"><strong>[homes]</strong></a> section exists, it is used as described -above. Otherwise, the requested section name is treated as a printer -name and the appropriate printcap file is scanned to see if the -requested section name is a valid printer share name. If a match is -found, a new printer share is created by cloning the <strong>[printers]</strong> -section. -<p>A few modifications are then made to the newly created share: -<p><dl> -<p><li > The share name is set to the located printer name -<p><li > If no printer name was given, the printer name is set to the -located printer name -<p><li > If the share does not permit guest access and no username was -given, the username is set to the located printer name. -<p></dl> -<p>Note that the <strong>[printers]</strong> service MUST be printable - if you specify -otherwise, the server will refuse to load the configuration file. -<p>Typically the path specified would be that of a world-writeable spool -directory with the sticky bit set on it. A typical <strong>[printers]</strong> entry -would look like this: -<p><pre> - - [printers] - path = /usr/spool/public - guest ok = yes - printable = yes - -</pre> - -<p>All aliases given for a printer in the printcap file are legitimate -printer names as far as the server is concerned. If your printing -subsystem doesn't work like that, you will have to set up a -pseudo-printcap. This is a file consisting of one or more lines like -this: -<p><pre> - alias|alias|alias|alias... -</pre> - -<p>Each alias should be an acceptable printer name for your printing -subsystem. In the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#global"><strong>[global]</strong></a> section, specify the new -file as your printcap. The server will then only recognize names -found in your pseudo-printcap, which of course can contain whatever -aliases you like. The same technique could be used simply to limit -access to a subset of your local printers. -<p>An alias, by the way, is defined as any component of the first entry -of a printcap record. Records are separated by newlines, components -(if there are more than one) are separated by vertical bar symbols -("|"). -<p>NOTE: On SYSV systems which use lpstat to determine what printers are -defined on the system you may be able to use <a href="smb.conf.5.html#printcapname"><strong>"printcap name = -lpstat"</strong></a> to automatically obtain a list of -printers. See the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#printcapname"><strong>"printcap name"</strong></a> option for -more details. -<p></dl> -<p><a name="PARAMETERS"></a> -<h2>PARAMETERS</h2> - -<p>Parameters define the specific attributes of sections. -<p>Some parameters are specific to the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#global"><strong>[global]</strong></a> section -(e.g., <a href="smb.conf.5.html#security"><strong>security</strong></a>). Some parameters are usable in -all sections (e.g., <a href="smb.conf.5.html#createmode"><strong>create mode</strong></a>). All others are -permissible only in normal sections. For the purposes of the following -descriptions the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#homes"><strong>[homes]</strong></a> and -<a href="smb.conf.5.html#printers"><strong>[printers]</strong></a> sections will be considered normal. -The letter <code>'G'</code> in parentheses indicates that a parameter is -specific to the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#global"><strong>[global]</strong></a> section. The letter <code>'S'</code> -indicates that a parameter can be specified in a service specific -section. Note that all <code>'S'</code> parameters can also be specified in the -<a href="smb.conf.5.html#global"><strong>[global]</strong></a> section - in which case they will define -the default behavior for all services. -<p>Parameters are arranged here in alphabetical order - this may not -create best bedfellows, but at least you can find them! Where there -are synonyms, the preferred synonym is described, others refer to the -preferred synonym. -<p><a name="VARIABLESUBSTITUTIONS"></a> -<h2>VARIABLE SUBSTITUTIONS</h2> - -<p>Many of the strings that are settable in the config file can take -substitutions. For example the option <a href="smb.conf.5.html#path"><strong><code>"path = -/tmp/%u"</code></strong></a> would be interpreted as <code>"path = /tmp/john"</code> if -the user connected with the username john. -<p>These substitutions are mostly noted in the descriptions below, but -there are some general substitutions which apply whenever they might -be relevant. These are: -<p><dl> -<p><a name="percentS"></a> -<li > <strong>%S</strong> = the name of the current service, if any. -<p><a name="percentP"></a> -<li > <strong>%P</strong> = the root directory of the current service, if any. -<p><a name="percentu"></a> -<li > <strong>%u</strong> = user name of the current service, if any. -<p><a name="percentg"></a> -<li > <strong>%g</strong> = primary group name of <a href="smb.conf.5.html#percentu"><strong>%u</strong></a>. -<p><a name="percentU"></a> -<li > <strong>%U</strong> = session user name (the user name that -the client wanted, not necessarily the same as the one they got). -<p><a name="percentG"></a> -<li > <strong>%G</strong> = primary group name of <a href="smb.conf.5.html#percentU"><strong>%U</strong></a>. -<p><a name="percentH"></a> -<li > <strong>%H</strong> = the home directory of the user given by <a href="smb.conf.5.html#percentu"><strong>%u</strong></a>. -<p><a name="percentv"></a> -<li > <strong>%v</strong> = the Samba version. -<p><a name="percenth"></a> -<li > <strong>%h</strong> = the internet hostname that Samba is running on. -<p><a name="percentm"></a> -<li > <strong>%m</strong> = the NetBIOS name of the client machine (very useful). -<p><a name="percentL"></a> -<li > <strong>%L</strong> = the NetBIOS name of the server. This allows you to change your -config based on what the client calls you. Your server can have a "dual -personality". -<p><a name="percentM"></a> -<li > <strong>%M</strong> = the internet name of the client machine. -<p><a name="percentN"></a> -<li > <strong>%N</strong> = the name of your NIS home directory server. This is -obtained from your NIS auto.map entry. If you have not compiled Samba -with the <strong>--with-automount</strong> option then this value will be the same -as <a href="smb.conf.5.html#percentL"><strong>%L</strong></a>. -<p><a name="percentp"></a> -<li > <strong>%p</strong> = the path of the service's home directory, obtained from your NIS -auto.map entry. The NIS auto.map entry is split up as "%N:%p". -<p><a name="percentR"></a> -<li > <strong>%R</strong> = the selected protocol level after protocol -negotiation. It can be one of CORE, COREPLUS, LANMAN1, LANMAN2 or NT1. -<p><a name="percentd"></a> -<li > <strong>%d</strong> = The process id of the current server process. -<p><a name="percenta"></a> -<li > <strong>%a</strong> = the architecture of the remote -machine. Only some are recognized, and those may not be 100% -reliable. It currently recognizes Samba, WfWg, WinNT and -Win95. Anything else will be known as "UNKNOWN". If it gets it wrong -then sending a level 3 log to <a href="mailto:samba@samba.org"><em>samba@samba.org</em></a> -should allow it to be fixed. -<p><a name="percentI"></a> -<li > <strong>%I</strong> = The IP address of the client machine. -<p><a name="percentT"></a> -<li > <strong>%T</strong> = the current date and time. -<p></dl> -<p>There are some quite creative things that can be done with these -substitutions and other smb.conf options. -<p><a name="NAMEMANGLING"></a> -<h2>NAME MANGLING</h2> - -<p>Samba supports <em>"name mangling"</em> so that DOS and Windows clients can -use files that don't conform to the 8.3 format. It can also be set to -adjust the case of 8.3 format filenames. -<p>There are several options that control the way mangling is performed, -and they are grouped here rather than listed separately. For the -defaults look at the output of the testparm program. -<p>All of these options can be set separately for each service (or -globally, of course). -<p>The options are: -<p><a name="manglecaseoption"></a> -<strong>"mangle case = yes/no"</strong> controls if names that have characters that -aren't of the "default" case are mangled. For example, if this is yes -then a name like <code>"Mail"</code> would be mangled. Default <em>no</em>. -<p><a name="casesensitiveoption"></a> -<strong>"case sensitive = yes/no"</strong> controls whether filenames are case -sensitive. If they aren't then Samba must do a filename search and -match on passed names. Default <em>no</em>. -<p><a name="defaultcaseoption"></a> -<strong>"default case = upper/lower"</strong> controls what the default case is for new -filenames. Default <em>lower</em>. -<p><a name="preservecaseoption"></a> -<strong>"preserve case = yes/no"</strong> controls if new files are created with the -case that the client passes, or if they are forced to be the <code>"default"</code> -case. Default <em>Yes</em>. -<p><a name="shortpreservecaseoption"></a> -<p><strong>"short preserve case = yes/no"</strong> controls if new files which conform -to 8.3 syntax, that is all in upper case and of suitable length, are -created upper case, or if they are forced to be the <code>"default"</code> -case. This option can be use with <a href="smb.conf.5.html#preservecaseoption"><strong>"preserve case = -yes"</strong></a> to permit long filenames to retain their -case, while short names are lowered. Default <em>Yes</em>. -<p>By default, Samba 2.0 has the same semantics as a Windows NT -server, in that it is case insensitive but case preserving. -<p><a name="NOTEABOUTUSERNAMEPASSWORDVALIDATION"></a> -<h2>NOTE ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION</h2> - -<p>There are a number of ways in which a user can connect to a -service. The server follows the following steps in determining if it -will allow a connection to a specified service. If all the steps fail -then the connection request is rejected. If one of the steps pass then -the following steps are not checked. -<p>If the service is marked <a href="smb.conf.5.html#guestonly"><strong>"guest only = yes"</strong></a> then -steps 1 to 5 are skipped. -<p><ol> -<p><li> Step 1: If the client has passed a username/password pair and -that username/password pair is validated by the UNIX system's password -programs then the connection is made as that username. Note that this -includes the <code>\\server\service%username</code> method of passing a -username. -<p><li> Step 2: If the client has previously registered a username with -the system and now supplies a correct password for that username then -the connection is allowed. -<p><li> Step 3: The client's netbios name and any previously used user -names are checked against the supplied password, if they match then -the connection is allowed as the corresponding user. -<p><li> Step 4: If the client has previously validated a -username/password pair with the server and the client has passed the -validation token then that username is used. -<p><li> Step 5: If a <a href="smb.conf.5.html#user"><strong>"user = "</strong></a> field is given in the -smb.conf file for the service and the client has supplied a password, -and that password matches (according to the UNIX system's password -checking) with one of the usernames from the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#user"><strong>user=</strong></a> -field then the connection is made as the username in the -<a href="smb.conf.5.html#user"><strong>"user="</strong></a> line. If one of the username in the -<a href="smb.conf.5.html#user"><strong>user=</strong></a> list begins with a <code>'@'</code> then that name -expands to a list of names in the group of the same name. -<p><li> Step 6: If the service is a guest service then a connection is -made as the username given in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#guestaccount"><strong>"guest account -="</strong></a> for the service, irrespective of the supplied -password. -<p></ol> -<p><a name="COMPLETELISTOFGLOBALPARAMETERS"></a> -<h2>COMPLETE LIST OF GLOBAL PARAMETERS</h2> - -<p>Here is a list of all global parameters.

This parameter does not -restrict who can login, it just offers hints to the Samba server as to -what usernames might correspond to the supplied password. Users can -login as whoever they please and they will be able to do no more -damage than if they started a telnet session. The daemon runs as the -user that they log in as, so they cannot do anything that user cannot -do. -<p>To restrict a service to a particular set of users you can use the -<a href="smb.conf.5.html#validusers"><strong>"valid users="</strong></a> parameter. -<p>If any of the usernames begin with a <code>'@'</code> then the name will be -looked up first in the yp netgroups list (if Samba is compiled with -netgroup support), followed by a lookup in the UNIX groups database -and will expand to a list of all users in the group of that name. -<p>If any of the usernames begin with a <code>'+'</code> then the name will be -looked up only in the UNIX groups database and will expand to a list -of all users in the group of that name. -<p>If any of the usernames begin with a <code>'&'</code> then the name will be -looked up only in the yp netgroups database (if Samba is compiled with -netgroup support) and will expand to a list of all users in the -netgroup group of that name. -<p>Note that searching though a groups database can take quite some time, -and some clients may time out during the search. -<p>See the section <a href="smb.conf.5.html#NOTEABOUTUSERNAMEPASSWORDVALIDATION"><strong>"NOTE ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD -VALIDATION"</strong></a> for more -information on how this parameter determines access to the services. -<p><strong>Default:</strong> -<code> The guest account if a guest service, else the name of the service.</code> -<p><strong>Examples:</strong> -<pre> - - username = fred - username = fred, mary, jack, jane, @users, @pcgroup - -</pre> - -<p><a name="usernamelevel"></a> -<p></p><dt><strong><strong>username level (G)</strong></strong><dd> -<p>This option helps Samba to try and 'guess' at the real UNIX username, -as many DOS clients send an all-uppercase username. By default Samba -tries all lowercase, followed by the username with the first letter -capitalized, and fails if the username is not found on the UNIX -machine. -<p>If this parameter is set to non-zero the behavior changes. This -parameter is a number that specifies the number of uppercase -combinations to try whilst trying to determine the UNIX user name. The -higher the number the more combinations will be tried, but the slower -the discovery of usernames will be. Use this parameter when you have -strange usernames on your UNIX machine, such as <code>"AstrangeUser"</code>. -<p><strong>Default:</strong> -<code> username level = 0</code> -<p><strong>Example:</strong> -<code> username level = 5</code> -<p><a name="usernamemap"></a> -<p></p><dt><strong><strong>username map (G)</strong></strong><dd> -<p>This option allows you to specify a file containing a mapping of -usernames from the clients to the server. This can be used for several -purposes. The most common is to map usernames that users use on DOS or -Windows machines to those that the UNIX box uses. The other is to map -multiple users to a single username so that they can more easily share -files. -<p>The map file is parsed line by line. Each line should contain a single -UNIX username on the left then a <code>'='</code> followed by a list of -usernames on the right. The list of usernames on the right may contain -names of the form @group in which case they will match any UNIX -username in that group. The special client name <code>'*'</code> is a wildcard -and matches any name. Each line of the map file may be up to 1023 -characters long. -<p>The file is processed on each line by taking the supplied username and -comparing it with each username on the right hand side of the <code>'='</code> -signs. If the supplied name matches any of the names on the right hand -side then it is replaced with the name on the left. Processing then -continues with the next line. -<p>If any line begins with a <code>'#'</code> or a <code>';'</code> then it is ignored -<p>If any line begins with an <code>'!'</code> then the processing will stop after -that line if a mapping was done by the line. Otherwise mapping -continues with every line being processed. Using <code>'!'</code> is most -useful when you have a wildcard mapping line later in the file. -<p>For example to map from the name <code>"admin"</code> or <code>"administrator"</code> to -the UNIX name <code>"root"</code> you would use: -<p><code> root = admin administrator</code> -<p>Or to map anyone in the UNIX group <code>"system"</code> to the UNIX name -<code>"sys"</code> you would use: -<p><code> sys = @system</code> -<p>You can have as many mappings as you like in a username map file. -<p>If your system supports the NIS NETGROUP option then the netgroup -database is checked before the <code>/etc/group</code> database for matching -groups. -<p>You can map Windows usernames that have spaces in them by using double -quotes around the name. For example: -<p><code> tridge = "Andrew Tridgell"</code> -<p>would map the windows username <code>"Andrew Tridgell"</code> to the unix -username tridge. -<p>The following example would map mary and fred to the unix user sys, -and map the rest to guest. Note the use of the <code>'!'</code> to tell Samba -to stop processing if it gets a match on that line. -<p><pre> - - !sys = mary fred - guest = * - -</pre> - -<p>Note that the remapping is applied to all occurrences of -usernames. Thus if you connect to <code>"\\server\fred"</code> and <code>"fred"</code> -is remapped to <code>"mary"</code> then you will actually be connecting to -<code>"\\server\mary"</code> and will need to supply a password suitable for -<code>"mary"</code> not <code>"fred"</code>. The only exception to this is the username -passed to the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#passwordserver"><strong>"password server"</strong></a> (if you have -one). The password server will receive whatever username the client -supplies without modification. -<p>Also note that no reverse mapping is done. The main effect this has is -with printing. Users who have been mapped may have trouble deleting -print jobs as PrintManager under WfWg will think they don't own the -print job. -<p><strong>Default:</strong> -<code> no username map</code> -<p><strong>Example:</strong> -<code> username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/users.map</code> -<p><a name="utmp"></a> -<p></p><dt><strong><strong>utmp (S)</strong></strong><dd> -<p>This boolean parameter is only available if Samba has been configured and compiled -with the option <code>--with-utmp</code>. If set to True then Samba will attempt -to add utmp or utmpx records (depending on the UNIX system) whenever a -connection is made to a Samba server. Sites may use this to record the -user connecting to a Samba share. -<p>See also the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#utmpdirectory"><strong>"utmp directory"</strong></a> parameter. -<p><strong>Default:</strong> -<code>utmp = False</code> -<p><strong>Example:</strong> -<code>utmp = True</code> -<p><a name="utmpdirectory"></a> -<p></p><dt><strong><strong>utmp directory(G)</strong></strong><dd> -<p>This parameter is only available if Samba has been configured and compiled -with the option <code>--with-utmp</code>.

See also the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#utmp"><strong>"utmp"</strong></a> -parameter. By default this is not set, meaning the system will use whatever -utmp file the native system is set to use (usually /var/run/utmp on Linux). -<p><strong>Default:</strong> -<code>no utmp directory</code> -<p><strong>Example:</strong> -<code>utmp directory = /var/adm/</code> -<p><a name="winbindcachetime"></a> -<p></p><dt><strong>winbind cache time</strong><dd> -<p>NOTE: this parameter is only available in Samba 3.0. -<p>This parameter specifies the number of seconds the -<a href="winbindd.8.html"><strong>winbindd</strong></a> daemon will cache user and group -information before querying a Windows NT server again. -<p><strong>Default:</strong> -<code> winbind cache type = 15</code> -<p><a name="winbindgid"></a> -<p></p><dt><strong>winbind gid</strong><dd> -<p>NOTE: this parameter is only available in Samba 3.0. -<p>The winbind gid parameter specifies the range of group ids that are -allocated by the <a href="winbindd.8.html"><strong>winbindd</strong></a> daemon.

This is particularly -useful for national character sets, such as adding u-umlaut or a-ring. -<p>The option takes a list of characters in either integer or character -form with spaces between them. If you give two characters with a colon -between them then it will be taken as an lowercase:uppercase pair. -<p>If you have an editor capable of entering the characters into the -config file then it is probably easiest to use this method. Otherwise -you can specify the characters in octal, decimal or hexadecimal form -using the usual C notation. -<p>For example to add the single character <code>'Z'</code> to the charset (which -is a pointless thing to do as it's already there) you could do one of -the following -<p><pre> - - valid chars = Z - valid chars = z:Z - valid chars = 0132:0172 - -</pre> - -<p>The last two examples above actually add two characters, and alter the -uppercase and lowercase mappings appropriately. -<p>Note that you MUST specify this parameter after the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#clientcodepage"><strong>"client -code page"</strong></a> parameter if you have both set. If -<a href="smb.conf.5.html#clientcodepage"><strong>"client code page"</strong></a> is set after the -<strong>"valid chars"</strong> parameter the <strong>"valid chars"</strong> settings will be -overwritten. -<p>See also the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#clientcodepage"><strong>"client code page"</strong></a> parameter. -<p><strong>Default:</strong> -<pre> - - Samba defaults to using a reasonable set of valid characters - for English systems - -</pre> - -<p><strong>Example</strong> -<code> valid chars = 0345:0305 0366:0326 0344:0304</code> -<p>The above example allows filenames to have the Swedish characters in -them. -<p>NOTE: It is actually quite difficult to correctly produce a <strong>"valid -chars"</strong> line for a particular system.

The +\fIsmb.conf\fR file is designed to be configured and +administered by the \fBswat(8)\fR + <URL:swat.8.html> program. The complete description of the file format and +possible parameters held within are here for reference purposes. +.SH "FILE FORMAT" +.PP +The file consists of sections and parameters. A section +begins with the name of the section in square brackets and continues +until the next section begins. Sections contain parameters of the +form +.PP +\fIname\fR = \fIvalue +\fR.PP +The file is line-based - that is, each newline-terminated +line represents either a comment, a section name or a parameter. +.PP +Section and parameter names are not case sensitive. +.PP +Only the first equals sign in a parameter is significant. +Whitespace before or after the first equals sign is discarded. +Leading, trailing and internal whitespace in section and parameter +names is irrelevant. Leading and trailing whitespace in a parameter +value is discarded. Internal whitespace within a parameter value +is retained verbatim. +.PP +Any line beginning with a semicolon (';') or a hash ('#') +character is ignored, as are lines containing only whitespace. +.PP +Any line ending in a '\\' is continued +on the next line in the customary UNIX fashion. +.PP +The values following the equals sign in parameters are all +either a string (no quotes needed) or a boolean, which may be given +as yes/no, 0/1 or true/false.

The +following notes apply to ordinary section descriptions. +.PP +A share consists of a directory to which access is being +given plus a description of the access rights which are granted +to the user of the service. Some housekeeping options are +also specifiable. +.PP +Sections are either filespace services (used by the +client as an extension of their native file systems) or +printable services (used by the client to access print services +on the host running the server). +.PP +Sections may be designated \fBguest\fR services, +in which case no password is required to access them. A specified +UNIX \fBguest account\fR is used to define access +privileges in this case. +.PP +Sections other than guest services will require a password +to access them. The client provides the username. As older clients +only provide passwords and not usernames, you may specify a list +of usernames to check against the password using the "user=" +option in the share definition. For modern clients such as +Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000, this should not be necessary. +.PP +Note that the access rights granted by the server are +masked by the access rights granted to the specified or guest +UNIX user by the host system. The server does not grant more +access than the host system grants. +.PP +The following sample section defines a file space share. +The user has write access to the path \fI/home/bar\fR. +The share is accessed via the share name "foo": +.sp +.nf + [foo] path = /home/bar writeable = true + + +.sp +.fi +.PP +The following sample section defines a printable share. +The share is readonly, but printable. That is, the only write +access permitted is via calls to open, write to and close a +spool file. The \fBguest ok\fR parameter means +access will be permitted as the default guest user (specified +elsewhere): +.sp +.nf + [aprinter] + path = /usr/spool/public + writeable = false + printable = true + guest ok = true + + +.sp +.fi +.SH "SPECIAL SECTIONS" +.SS "THE GLOBAL SECTION" +.PP +parameters in this section apply to the server +as a whole, or are defaults for sections which do not +specifically define certain items. See the notes +under paraMETERS for more information. +.SS "THE HOMES SECTION" +.PP +If a section called homes is included in the +configuration file, services connecting clients to their +home directories can be created on the fly by the server. +.PP +When the connection request is made, the existing +sections are scanned. If a match is found, it is used. If no +match is found, the requested section name is treated as a +user name and looked up in the local password file. If the +name exists and the correct password has been given, a share is +created by cloning the [homes] section. +.PP +Some modifications are then made to the newly +created share: +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +The share name is changed from homes to +the located username. +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +If no path was given, the path is set to +the user's home directory. +.PP +If you decide to use a \fBpath=\fR line +in your [homes] section then you may find it useful +to use the %S macro. For example : +.PP +.PP +\fBpath=/data/pchome/%S\fR +.PP +.PP +would be useful if you have different home directories +for your PCs than for UNIX access. +.PP +.PP +This is a fast and simple way to give a large number +of clients access to their home directories with a minimum +of fuss. +.PP +.PP +A similar process occurs if the requested section +name is "homes", except that the share name is not +changed to that of the requesting user. This method of using +the [homes] section works well if different users share +a client PC. +.PP +.PP +The [homes] section can specify all the parameters +a normal service section can specify, though some make more sense +than others. The following is a typical and suitable [homes] +section: +.PP +.sp +.nf + [homes] + writeable = yes + + +.sp +.fi +.PP +An important point is that if guest access is specified +in the [homes] section, all home directories will be +visible to all clients \fBwithout a password\fR. +In the very unlikely event that this is actually desirable, it +would be wise to also specify \fBread only +access\fR. +.PP +.PP +Note that the \fBbrowseable\fR flag for +auto home directories will be inherited from the global browseable +flag, not the [homes] browseable flag. This is useful as +it means setting browseable=no in the [homes] section +will hide the [homes] share but make any auto home +directories visible. +.PP +.SS "THE PRINTERS SECTION" +.PP +This section works like [homes], +but for printers. +.PP +If a [printers] section occurs in the +configuration file, users are able to connect to any printer +specified in the local host's printcap file. +.PP +When a connection request is made, the existing sections +are scanned. If a match is found, it is used. If no match is found, +but a [homes] section exists, it is used as described +above. Otherwise, the requested section name is treated as a +printer name and the appropriate printcap file is scanned to see +if the requested section name is a valid printer share name. If +a match is found, a new printer share is created by cloning +the [printers] section. +.PP +A few modifications are then made to the newly created +share: +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +The share name is set to the located printer +name +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +If no printer name was given, the printer name +is set to the located printer name +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +If the share does not permit guest access and +no username was given, the username is set to the located +printer name. +.PP +Note that the [printers] service MUST be +printable - if you specify otherwise, the server will refuse +to load the configuration file. +.PP +.PP +Typically the path specified would be that of a +world-writeable spool directory with the sticky bit set on +it. A typical [printers] entry would look like +this: +.PP +.sp +.nf + [printers] + path = /usr/spool/public + guest ok = yes + printable = yes + +.sp +.fi +.PP +All aliases given for a printer in the printcap file +are legitimate printer names as far as the server is concerned. +If your printing subsystem doesn't work like that, you will have +to set up a pseudo-printcap. This is a file consisting of one or +more lines like this: +.PP +.sp +.nf + alias|alias|alias|alias... + + +.sp +.fi +.PP +Each alias should be an acceptable printer name for +your printing subsystem. In the [global] section, specify +the new file as your printcap. The server will then only recognize +names found in your pseudo-printcap, which of course can contain +whatever aliases you like. The same technique could be used +simply to limit access to a subset of your local printers. +.PP +.PP +An alias, by the way, is defined as any component of the +first entry of a printcap record. Records are separated by newlines, +components (if there are more than one) are separated by vertical +bar symbols ('|'). +.PP +.PP +NOTE: On SYSV systems which use lpstat to determine what +printers are defined on the system you may be able to use +"printcap name = lpstat" to automatically obtain a list +of printers. See the "printcap name" option +for more details. +.PP +.SH "PARAMETRS" +.PP +parameters define the specific attributes of sections. +.PP +Some parameters are specific to the [global] section +(e.g., \fBsecurity\fR). Some parameters are usable +in all sections (e.g., \fBcreate mode\fR). All others +are permissible only in normal sections. For the purposes of the +following descriptions the [homes] and [printers] +sections will be considered normal. The letter \fBG\fR +in parentheses indicates that a parameter is specific to the +[global] section. The letter \fBS\fR +indicates that a parameter can be specified in a service specific +section. Note that all \fBS\fR parameters can also be specified in +the [global] section - in which case they will define +the default behavior for all services. +.PP +parameters are arranged here in alphabetical order - this may +not create best bedfellows, but at least you can find them! Where +there are synonyms, the preferred synonym is described, others refer +to the preferred synonym. +.SH "VARIABLE SUBSTITUTIONS" +.PP +Many of the strings that are settable in the config file +can take substitutions. For example the option "path = +/tmp/%u" would be interpreted as "path = +/tmp/john" if the user connected with the username john. +.PP +These substitutions are mostly noted in the descriptions below, +but there are some general substitutions which apply whenever they +might be relevant. These are: +.TP +\fB%S\fR +the name of the current service, if any. +.TP +\fB%P\fR +the root directory of the current service, +if any. +.TP +\fB%u\fR +user name of the current service, if any. +.TP +\fB%g\fR +primary group name of %u. +.TP +\fB%U\fR +session user name (the user name that the client +wanted, not necessarily the same as the one they got). +.TP +\fB%G\fR +primary group name of %U. +.TP +\fB%H\fR +the home directory of the user given +by %u. +.TP +\fB%v\fR +the Samba version. +.TP +\fB%h\fR +the internet hostname that Samba is running +on. +.TP +\fB%m\fR +the NetBIOS name of the client machine +(very useful). +.TP +\fB%L\fR +the NetBIOS name of the server. This allows you +to change your config based on what the client calls you. Your +server can have a "dual personality". +.TP +\fB%M\fR +the internet name of the client machine. +.TP +\fB%N\fR +the name of your NIS home directory server. +This is obtained from your NIS auto.map entry. If you have +not compiled Samba with the \fB--with-automount\fR +option then this value will be the same as %. +.TP +\fB%p\fR +the path of the service's home directory, +obtained from your NIS auto.map entry. The NIS auto.map entry +is split up as "%N:%p". +.TP +\fB%R\fR +the selected protocol level after +protocol negotiation. It can be one of CORE, COREPLUS, +LANMAN1, LANMAN2 or NT1. +.TP +\fB%d\fR +The process id of the current server +process. +.TP +\fB%a\fR +the architecture of the remote +machine. Only some are recognized, and those may not be +100% reliable. It currently recognizes Samba, WfWg, +WinNT and Win95. Anything else will be known as +"UNKNOWN". If it gets it wrong then sending a level +3 log to samba@samba.org + <URL:mailto:samba@samba.org> should allow it to be fixed. +.TP +\fB%I\fR +The IP address of the client machine. +.TP +\fB%T\fR +the current date and time. +.TP +\fB%$(\fIenvvar\fB)\fR +The value of the environment variable +\fIenvar\fR. +.PP +There are some quite creative things that can be done +with these substitutions and other smb.conf options. +.PP +.SH "NAME MANGLING" +.PP +Samba supports "name mangling" so that DOS and +Windows clients can use files that don't conform to the 8.3 format. +It can also be set to adjust the case of 8.3 format filenames. +.PP +There are several options that control the way mangling is +performed, and they are grouped here rather than listed separately. +For the defaults look at the output of the testparm program. +.PP +All of these options can be set separately for each service +(or globally, of course). +.PP +The options are: +.TP +\fBmangle case= yes/no\fR +controls if names that have characters that +aren't of the "default" case are mangled. For example, +if this is yes then a name like "Mail" would be mangled. +Default \fBno\fR. +.TP +\fBcase sensitive = yes/no\fR +controls whether filenames are case sensitive. If +they aren't then Samba must do a filename search and match on passed +names. Default \fBno\fR. +.TP +\fBdefault case = upper/lower\fR +controls what the default case is for new +filenames. Default \fBlower\fR. +.TP +\fBpreserve case = yes/no\fR +controls if new files are created with the +case that the client passes, or if they are forced to be the +"default" case. Default \fByes\fR. +.TP +\fBshort preserve case = yes/no\fR +controls if new files which conform to 8.3 syntax, +that is all in upper case and of suitable length, are created +upper case, or if they are forced to be the "default" +case. This option can be use with "preserve case = yes" +to permit long filenames to retain their case, while short names +are lowered. Default \fByes\fR. +.PP +By default, Samba 2.2 has the same semantics as a Windows +NT server, in that it is case insensitive but case preserving. +.PP +.SH "NOTE ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION" +.PP +There are a number of ways in which a user can connect +to a service. The server follows the following steps in determining +if it will allow a connection to a specified service. If all the +steps fail then the connection request is rejected. If one of the +steps pass then the following steps are not checked. +.PP +If the service is marked "guest only = yes" then +steps 1 to 5 are skipped. +.IP 1. +If the client has passed a username/password +pair and that username/password pair is validated by the UNIX +system's password programs then the connection is made as that +username. Note that this includes the +\\\\server\\service%\fIusername\fR method of passing +a username. +.IP 2. +If the client has previously registered a username +with the system and now supplies a correct password for that +username then the connection is allowed. +.IP 3. +The client's netbios name and any previously +used user names are checked against the supplied password, if +they match then the connection is allowed as the corresponding +user. +.IP 4. +If the client has previously validated a +username/password pair with the server and the client has passed +the validation token then that username is used. +.IP 5. +If a "user = " field is given in the +\fIsmb.conf\fR file for the service and the client +has supplied a password, and that password matches (according to +the UNIX system's password checking) with one of the usernames +from the "user=" field then the connection is made as +the username in the "user=" line. If one +of the username in the "user=" list begins with a +\&'@' then that name expands to a list of names in +the group of the same name. +.IP 6. +If the service is a guest service then a +connection is made as the username given in the "guest +account =" for the service, irrespective of the +supplied password. +.SH "COMPLETE LIST OF GLOBAL PARAMETERS" +.PP +Here is a list of all global parameters.

See the notes under \fB\'PARAMETERS\'\fP for more -information\&. -.IP -.IP "\fBThe [homes] section\fP" -.IP -If a section called \f(CW\'homes\'\fP is included in the configuration file, -services connecting clients to their home directories can be created -on the fly by the server\&. -.IP -When the connection request is made, the existing sections are -scanned\&. If a match is found, it is used\&. If no match is found, the -requested section name is treated as a user name and looked up in the -local password file\&. If the name exists and the correct password has -been given, a share is created by cloning the [homes] section\&. -.IP -Some modifications are then made to the newly created share: -.IP -.IP -.IP o -The share name is changed from \f(CW\'homes\'\fP to the located -username -.IP -.IP o -If no path was given, the path is set to the user\'s home -directory\&. -.IP -.IP -If you decide to use a \fBpath=\fP line in your [homes] -section then you may find it useful to use the \fB%S\fP -macro\&. For example : -.IP -\f(CWpath=/data/pchome/%S\fP -.IP -would be useful if you have different home directories for your PCs -than for UNIX access\&. -.IP -This is a fast and simple way to give a large number of clients access -to their home directories with a minimum of fuss\&. -.IP -A similar process occurs if the requested section name is \f(CW"homes"\fP, -except that the share name is not changed to that of the requesting -user\&. This method of using the [homes] section works well if different -users share a client PC\&. -.IP -The [homes] section can specify all the parameters a normal service -section can specify, though some make more sense than others\&. The -following is a typical and suitable [homes] section: -.IP - -.nf - +You should use this option very carefully, as any user in +this list will be able to do anything they like on the share, +irrespective of file permissions. - [homes] - writeable = yes +Default: \fBno admin users\fR -.fi - +Example: \fBadmin users = jason\fR +.TP +\fBallow hosts (S)\fR +Synonym for \fIhosts allow\fR <URL:smb.conf.5.html#hostsallow>. +.TP +\fBallow trusted domains (G)\fR +This option only takes effect when the security <URL:smb.conf.5.html> option is set to +\fIserver\fR or \fIdomain\fR. +If it is set to no, then attempts to connect to a resource from +a domain or workgroup other than the one which smbd is running +in will fail, even if that domain is trusted by the remote server +doing the authentication. -.IP -An important point is that if guest access is specified in the [homes] -section, all home directories will be visible to all clients -\fBwithout a password\fP\&. In the very unlikely event that this is -actually desirable, it would be wise to also specify \fBread only -access\fP\&. -.IP -Note that the \fBbrowseable\fP flag for auto home -directories will be inherited from the global browseable flag, not the -[homes] browseable flag\&. This is useful as it means setting -browseable=no in the [homes] section will hide the [homes] share but -make any auto home directories visible\&. -.IP -.IP "\fBThe [printers] section\fP" -.IP -This section works like \fB[homes]\fP, but for printers\&. -.IP -If a \fB[printers]\fP section occurs in the configuration file, users are -able to connect to any printer specified in the local host\'s printcap -file\&. -.IP -When a connection request is made, the existing sections are -scanned\&. If a match is found, it is used\&. If no match is found, but a -\fB[homes]\fP section exists, it is used as described -above\&. Otherwise, the requested section name is treated as a printer -name and the appropriate printcap file is scanned to see if the -requested section name is a valid printer share name\&. If a match is -found, a new printer share is created by cloning the \fB[printers]\fP -section\&. -.IP -A few modifications are then made to the newly created share: -.IP -.IP -.IP o -The share name is set to the located printer name -.IP -.IP o -If no printer name was given, the printer name is set to the -located printer name -.IP -.IP o -If the share does not permit guest access and no username was -given, the username is set to the located printer name\&. -.IP -.IP -Note that the \fB[printers]\fP service MUST be printable - if you specify -otherwise, the server will refuse to load the configuration file\&. -.IP -Typically the path specified would be that of a world-writeable spool -directory with the sticky bit set on it\&. A typical \fB[printers]\fP entry -would look like this: -.IP - -.nf - +This is useful if you only want your Samba server to +serve resources to users in the domain it is a member of. As +an example, suppose that there are two domains DOMA and DOMB. DOMB +is trusted by DOMA, which contains the Samba server. Under normal +circumstances, a user with an account in DOMB can then access the +resources of a UNIX account with the same account name on the +Samba server even if they do not have an account in DOMA. This +can make implementing a security boundary difficult. - [printers] - path = /usr/spool/public - guest ok = yes - printable = yes +Default: \fBallow trusted domains = yes\fR +.TP +\fBannounce as (G)\fR +This specifies what type of server +\fBnmbd\fR <URL:nmbd.8.html> +will announce itself as, to a network neighborhood browse +list.
