97 <note>
98 <para>If you wish to run the test suite after the binaries are built,
99 you must add the <option>--enable-socket-wrapper</option>
100 and <option>--enable-selftest</option> parameters to
101 the <command>configure</command> script below. You may want to run
102 <command>configure</command> with the <option>--help</option> parameter
103 first. There may be other parameters needed to take advantage of
104 optional dependencies.</para>
105 </note>
106
107 <para>Install <application>Samba</application> by running the following
108 commands:</para>
109
110<screen><userinput>./configure \
111 --prefix=/usr \
112 --sysconfdir=/etc \
113 --localstatedir=/var \
114 --with-piddir=/run/samba \

116 --without-systemd \
117 --enable-fhs \
118 --enable-nss-wrapper &amp;&amp;
119
120make</userinput></screen>
121
122 <para>According to <application>Samba</application> developers, the
123 limitation to 108 characters of the path length of a unix named pipe socket
124 may be the cause of errors, so that over 1/3 of the tests might fail. For
125 this reason, the switch <option>--with-selftest-prefix=/tmp/quick</option>
126 (or another path with small number of characters) can be used with
127 configure. Even so, the
128 <quote><replaceable>samba3.raw.eas</replaceable></quote> test may fail,
129 apparently for the same reason. If one quicktest fails, it can be disabled.
130 For example, <quote><replaceable>samba3.raw.eas</replaceable></quote> may
131 be disabled with the following command:</para>
132
133<screen><userinput>sed -i "/samba3.blackbox.failure.failure/i \^samba3.raw.eas" selftest/knownfail</userinput></screen>

239
240 <para>Due to the complexity and the many various uses for
241 <application>Samba</application>, complete configuration for all the
242 package's capabilities is well beyond the scope of the BLFS book. This
243 section provides instructions to configure the
244 <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file for two common scenarios.
245 The complete contents of <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> will
246 depend on the purpose of <application>Samba</application>
247 installation.</para>

249 <note>
250 <para>You may find it easier to copy the configuration parameters shown

260 <title>Scenario 1: Minimal Standalone Client-Only Installation</title>
261
262 <para>Choose this variant if you only want to transfer files using
263 <command>smbclient</command>, mount Windows shares and print to Windows
264 printers, and don't want to share your files and printers to Windows
265 machines.</para>
266
267 <para>A <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file with the following
268 three parameters is sufficient:</para>
269
270<screen role='root'><literal>[global]
271 workgroup = <replaceable>MYGROUP</replaceable>
272 dos charset = <replaceable>cp850</replaceable>
273 unix charset = <replaceable>ISO-8859-1</replaceable></literal></screen>
274
275 <para>The values in this example specify that the computer belongs to a
276 Windows workgroup named
277 <quote><replaceable>MYGROUP</replaceable></quote>, uses the
278 <quote><replaceable>cp850</replaceable></quote> character set on the
279 wire when talking to MS-DOS and MS Windows 9x, and that the filenames
280 are stored in the <quote><replaceable>ISO-8859-1</replaceable></quote>
281 encoding on the disk. Adjust these values appropriately for your
282 installation. The <quote>unix charset</quote> value must be the same as
283 the output of <command>locale charmap</command> when executed with the
284 <envar>LANG</envar> variable set to your preferred locale, otherwise the
285 <command>ls</command> command may not display correct filenames of
286 downloaded files.</para>
287
288 <para>There is no need to run any <application>Samba</application>
289 servers in this scenario, thus you don't need to install the provided
290 bootscripts.</para>

294 <sect4>
295 <title>Scenario 2: Standalone File/Print Server</title>
296
297 <para>Choose this variant if you want to share your files and printers
298 to Windows machines in your workgroup in addition to the capabilities
299 described in Scenario 1.</para>
300
301 <para>In this case, the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf.default</filename>
302 file may be a good template to start from. Also add
303 <quote>dos charset</quote> and <quote>unix charset</quote> parameters
304 to the <quote>[global]</quote> section as described in Scenario 1 in
305 order to prevent filename corruption. For security reasons, you may
306 wish to define
307 <replaceable>path = /home/alice/shared-files</replaceable>,
308 assuming your user name is <replaceable>alice</replaceable> and you
309 only want to share the files in that directory, instead of your entire
310 home. Then, replace <replaceable>homes</replaceable> by
311 <replaceable>shared-files</replaceable> and change also the
312 <quote><literal>comment</literal></quote> if used the configuration
313 file below or the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf.default</filename>
314 to create yours.</para>
315
316 <para>The following configuration file creates a separate share for each
317 user's home directory and also makes all printers available to Windows
318 machines:</para>

352
353 <para>Since the <command>smbd</command> and <command>nmbd</command>
354 daemons are needed in this case, install the <filename>samba</filename>
355 bootscript. Be sure to run <command>smbpasswd</command> (with the
356 <option>-a</option> option to add users) to enable and
357 set passwords for all accounts that need
358 <application>Samba</application> access. Using the default
359 <application>Samba</application> passdb backend, any user you attempt
360 to add will also be required to exist in the
361 <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> file.</para>

366 <title>Advanced Requirements</title>
367
368 <para>More complex scenarios involving domain control or membership are
369 possible. Such setups are advanced topics and cannot be adequately
370 covered in BLFS. Many complete books have been written on these topics
371 alone. Note that in some domain membership scenarios, the
372 <command>winbindd</command> daemon and the corresponding bootscript are
373 needed.</para>
374
375 <para>There is quite a bit of documentation available which covers many
376 of these advanced configurations. Point your web browser to the links
