126 <para>According to <application>Samba</application> developers, the
127 limitation to 108 characters of the path length of a unix named pipe socket
128 may be the cause of errors, so that over 1/3 of the tests might fail. For
129 this reason, the switch <option>-/-with-selftest-prefix=/tmp/quick</option>
130 (or another path with small number of characters) can be used with
131 configure. Even so, the
132 <quote><replaceable>samba3.raw.eas</replaceable></quote> test may fail,
133 apparently for the same reason. If one quicktest fails, it can be disabled.
134 For example, <quote><replaceable>samba3.raw.eas</replaceable></quote> may
135 be disabled with the following command:</para>

245
246 <para>Due to the complexity and the many various uses for
247 <application>Samba</application>, complete configuration for all the
248 package's capabilities is well beyond the scope of the BLFS book. This
249 section provides instructions to configure the
250 <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file for two common scenarios.
251 The complete contents of <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> will
252 depend on the purpose of <application>Samba</application>
253 installation.</para>

255 <note>
256 <para>You may find it easier to copy the configuration parameters shown

266 <title>Scenario 1: Minimal Standalone Client-Only Installation</title>
267
268 <para>Choose this variant if you only want to transfer files using
269 <command>smbclient</command>, mount Windows shares and print to Windows
270 printers, and don't want to share your files and printers to Windows
271 machines.</para>
272
273 <para>A <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file with the following

276<screen role='root'><literal>[global]
277 workgroup = <replaceable>MYGROUP</replaceable>
278 dos charset = <replaceable>cp850</replaceable>
279 unix charset = <replaceable>ISO-8859-1</replaceable></literal></screen>
280
281 <para>The values in this example specify that the computer belongs to a
282 Windows workgroup named
283 <quote><replaceable>MYGROUP</replaceable></quote>, uses the
284 <quote><replaceable>cp850</replaceable></quote> character set on the
285 wire when talking to MS-DOS and MS Windows 9x, and that the filenames
286 are stored in the <quote><replaceable>ISO-8859-1</replaceable></quote>
287 encoding on the disk. Adjust these values appropriately for your
288 installation. The <quote>unix charset</quote> value must be the same as
289 the output of <command>locale charmap</command> when executed with the
290 <envar>LANG</envar> variable set to your preferred locale, otherwise the
291 <command>ls</command> command may not display correct filenames of
292 downloaded files.</para>
293
294 <para>There is no need to run any <application>Samba</application>
295 servers in this scenario, thus you don't need to install the provided

301 <title>Scenario 2: Standalone File/Print Server</title>
302
303 <para>Choose this variant if you want to share your files and printers
304 to Windows machines in your workgroup in addition to the capabilities
305 described in Scenario 1.</para>
306
307 <para>In this case, the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf.default</filename>
308 file may be a good template to start from. Also add
309 <quote>dos charset</quote> and <quote>unix charset</quote> parameters
310 to the <quote>[global]</quote> section as described in Scenario 1 in
311 order to prevent filename corruption. For security reasons, you may
312 wish to define
313 <replaceable>path = /home/alice/shared-files</replaceable>,
314 assuming your user name is <replaceable>alice</replaceable> and you
315 only want to share the files in that directory, instead of your entire
316 home. Then, replace <replaceable>homes</replaceable> by
317 <replaceable>shared-files</replaceable> and change also the
318 <quote><literal>comment</literal></quote> if used the configuration
319 file below or the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf.default</filename>
320 to create yours.</para>
321
322 <para>The following configuration file creates a separate share for each

324 machines:</para>

358
359 <para>Since the <command>smbd</command> and <command>nmbd</command>
360 daemons are needed in this case, install the <filename>samba</filename>
361 bootscript. Be sure to run <command>smbpasswd</command> (with the
362 <option>-a</option> option to add users) to enable and
363 set passwords for all accounts that need
364 <application>Samba</application> access. Using the default
365 <application>Samba</application> passdb backend, any user you attempt
366 to add will also be required to exist in the
367 <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> file.</para>

372 <title>Advanced Requirements</title>
373
374 <para>More complex scenarios involving domain control or membership are
375 possible. Such setups are advanced topics and cannot be adequately
376 covered in BLFS. Many complete books have been written on these topics
377 alone. Note that in some domain membership scenarios, the
378 <command>winbindd</command> daemon and the corresponding bootscript are
379 needed.</para>
380

382 of these advanced configurations. Point your web browser to the links
