225 <title>Configuration Information</title>
226
227 <para>Due to the complexity and the many various uses for
228 <application>Samba</application>, complete configuration for all the
229 package's capabilities is well beyond the scope of the BLFS book. This
230 section provides instructions to configure the
231 <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file for two common scenarios.
232 The complete contents of <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> will
233 depend on the purpose of <application>Samba</application>
234 installation.</para>
235
236 <note>
237 <para>You may find it easier to copy the configuration parameters shown
238 below into an empty <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file
239 instead of copying and editing the default file as mentioned in the
240 <quote>Command Explanations</quote> section. How you create/edit the
241 <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file will be left up to
242 you. Do ensure the file is only writeable by the
243 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user (mode 644).</para>

247 <title>Scenario 1: Minimal Standalone Client-Only Installation</title>
248
249 <para>Choose this variant if you only want to transfer files using
250 <command>smbclient</command>, mount Windows shares and print to Windows
251 printers, and don't want to share your files and printers to Windows
252 machines.</para>
253
254 <para>A <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file with the following
255 three parameters is sufficient:</para>
256
257<screen role='root'><literal>[global]
258 workgroup = <replaceable>MYGROUP</replaceable>
259 dos charset = <replaceable>cp850</replaceable>
260 unix charset = <replaceable>ISO-8859-1</replaceable></literal></screen>
261
262 <para>The values in this example specify that the computer belongs to a
263 Windows workgroup named
264 <quote><replaceable>MYGROUP</replaceable></quote>, uses the
265 <quote><replaceable>cp850</replaceable></quote> character set on the
266 wire when talking to MS-DOS and MS Windows 9x, and that the filenames
267 are stored in the <quote><replaceable>ISO-8859-1</replaceable></quote>
268 encoding on the disk. Adjust these values appropriately for your
269 installation. The <quote>unix charset</quote> value must be the same as
270 the output of <command>locale charmap</command> when executed with the
271 <envar>LANG</envar> variable set to your preferred locale, otherwise the
272 <command>ls</command> command may not display correct filenames of
273 downloaded files.</para>
274
275 <para>There is no need to run any <application>Samba</application>
276 servers in this scenario, thus you don't need to install the provided
277 bootscripts.</para>

280
281 <sect4>
282 <title>Scenario 2: Standalone File/Print Server</title>
283
284 <para>Choose this variant if you want to share your files and printers
285 to Windows machines in your workgroup in addition to the capabilities
286 described in Scenario 1.</para>
287
288 <para>In this case, the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf.default</filename>
289 file may be a good template to start from. Also add
290 <quote>dos charset</quote> and <quote>unix charset</quote> parameters
291 to the <quote>[global]</quote> section as described in Scenario 1 in
292 order to prevent filename corruption. For security reasons, you may
293 wish to define
294 <replaceable>path = /home/alice/shared-files</replaceable>,
295 assuming your user name is <replaceable>alice</replaceable> and you
296 only want to share the files in that directory, instead of your entire
297 home. Then, replace <replaceable>homes</replaceable> by
298 <replaceable>shared-files</replaceable> and change also the
299 <quote><literal>comment</literal></quote> if used the configuration
300 file below or the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf.default</filename>
301 to create yours.</para>
302
303 <para>The following configuration file creates a separate share for each
304 user's home directory and also makes all printers available to Windows
305 machines:</para>
306
307<screen role='root'><literal>[global]
308 workgroup = <replaceable>MYGROUP</replaceable>
309 dos charset = <replaceable>cp850</replaceable>

324 <para>Other parameters you may wish to customize in the

335
336 <para>Reference the comments in the

338 regarding these parameters.</para>
339
340 <para>Since the <command>smbd</command> and <command>nmbd</command>
341 daemons are needed in this case, install the <filename>samba</filename>
342 bootscript. Be sure to run <command>smbpasswd</command> (with the
343 <option>-a</option> option to add users) to enable and
344 set passwords for all accounts that need
345 <application>Samba</application> access. Using the default
346 <application>Samba</application> passdb backend, any user you attempt
347 to add will also be required to exist in the
348 <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> file.</para>

353 <title>Advanced Requirements</title>
354
355 <para>More complex scenarios involving domain control or membership are
356 possible. Such setups are advanced topics and cannot be adequately
357 covered in BLFS. Many complete books have been written on these topics
358 alone. Note that in some domain membership scenarios, the
359 <command>winbindd</command> daemon and the corresponding bootscript are
360 needed.</para>
361
362 <para>There is quite a bit of documentation available which covers many
363 of these advanced configurations. Point your web browser to the links
