104 <note>
105 <para>If you wish to run the test suite after the binaries are built,
106 you must add the <option>-/-enable-socket-wrapper</option>
107 and <option>-/-enable-selftest</option> parameters to
108 the <command>configure</command> script below. You may want to run
109 <command>configure</command> with the <option>-/-help</option> parameter
110 first. There may be other parameters needed to take advantage of
111 optional dependencies.</para>
112 </note>
113
114 <para>Install <application>Samba</application> by running the following
115 commands:</para>
116
117<screen><userinput>./configure \
118 --prefix=/usr \
119 --sysconfdir=/etc \
120 --localstatedir=/var \
121 --with-piddir=/run/samba \
122 --with-pammodulesdir=/lib/security \
123 --without-systemd \
124 --enable-fhs \
125 --enable-nss-wrapper &amp;&amp;
126
127make</userinput></screen>
128
129 <para>According to <application>Samba</application> developers, the
130 limitation to 108 characters of the path length of a unix named pipe socket
131 may be the cause of errors, so that over 1/3 of the tests might fail. For
132 this reason, the switch <option>-/-with-selftest-prefix=/tmp/quick</option>
133 (or another path with small number of characters) can be used with
134 configure. Even so, the
135 <quote><replaceable>samba3.raw.eas</replaceable></quote> test may fail,
136 apparently for the same reason. If one quicktest fails, it can be disabled.
137 For example, <quote><replaceable>samba3.raw.eas</replaceable></quote> may
138 be disabled with the following command:</para>
139
140<screen><userinput>sed -i "/samba3.blackbox.failure.failure/i \^samba3.raw.eas" selftest/knownfail</userinput></screen>
141
142 <para>To test the results, as the
143 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user, issue:
144 <command>make quicktest 2>&amp;1 | tee quicktest.log</command>. Summary of
145 the test results and some other information may be obtained with
146 <command>grep -A5 testsuites quicktest.log</command>. There are other
147 targets (test, subunit-test) available, but take a very long time

249
250 <para>Due to the complexity and the many various uses for
251 <application>Samba</application>, complete configuration for all the
252 package's capabilities is well beyond the scope of the BLFS book. This
253 section provides instructions to configure the
254 <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file for two common scenarios.
255 The complete contents of <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> will
256 depend on the purpose of <application>Samba</application>
257 installation.</para>
258
259 <note>
260 <para>You may find it easier to copy the configuration parameters shown
261 below into an empty <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file
262 instead of copying and editing the default file as mentioned in the

270 <title>Scenario 1: Minimal Standalone Client-Only Installation</title>
271
272 <para>Choose this variant if you only want to transfer files using
273 <command>smbclient</command>, mount Windows shares and print to Windows
274 printers, and don't want to share your files and printers to Windows
275 machines.</para>
276
277 <para>A <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file with the following
278 three parameters is sufficient:</para>
279
280<screen role='root'><literal>[global]
281 workgroup = <replaceable>MYGROUP</replaceable>
282 dos charset = <replaceable>cp850</replaceable>
283 unix charset = <replaceable>ISO-8859-1</replaceable></literal></screen>
284
285 <para>The values in this example specify that the computer belongs to a
286 Windows workgroup named
287 <quote><replaceable>MYGROUP</replaceable></quote>, uses the
288 <quote><replaceable>cp850</replaceable></quote> character set on the
289 wire when talking to MS-DOS and MS Windows 9x, and that the filenames
290 are stored in the <quote><replaceable>ISO-8859-1</replaceable></quote>
291 encoding on the disk. Adjust these values appropriately for your
292 installation. The <quote>unix charset</quote> value must be the same as
293 the output of <command>locale charmap</command> when executed with the
294 <envar>LANG</envar> variable set to your preferred locale, otherwise the
295 <command>ls</command> command may not display correct filenames of
296 downloaded files.</para>
297
298 <para>There is no need to run any <application>Samba</application>
299 servers in this scenario, thus you don't need to install the provided
300 bootscripts.</para>

302 </sect4>
303
304 <sect4>
305 <title>Scenario 2: Standalone File/Print Server</title>
306
307 <para>Choose this variant if you want to share your files and printers
308 to Windows machines in your workgroup in addition to the capabilities
309 described in Scenario 1.</para>
310
311 <para>In this case, the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf.default</filename>
312 file may be a good template to start from. Also add
313 <quote>dos charset</quote> and <quote>unix charset</quote> parameters
314 to the <quote>[global]</quote> section as described in Scenario 1 in
315 order to prevent filename corruption. For security reasons, you may
316 wish to define
317 <replaceable>path = /home/alice/shared-files</replaceable>,
318 assuming your user name is <replaceable>alice</replaceable> and you
319 only want to share the files in that directory, instead of your entire
320 home. Then, replace <replaceable>homes</replaceable> by
321 <replaceable>shared-files</replaceable> and change also the
322 <quote><literal>comment</literal></quote> if used the configuration
323 file below or the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf.default</filename>
324 to create yours.</para>
325
326 <para>The following configuration file creates a separate share for each
327 user's home directory and also makes all printers available to Windows
328 machines:</para>
329
330<screen role='root'><literal>[global]

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

376 <title>Advanced Requirements</title>
377
378 <para>More complex scenarios involving domain control or membership are
379 possible. Such setups are advanced topics and cannot be adequately
380 covered in BLFS. Many complete books have been written on these topics
381 alone. Note that in some domain membership scenarios, the
382 <command>winbindd</command> daemon and the corresponding bootscript are
383 needed.</para>
384
385 <para>There is quite a bit of documentation available which covers many
386 of these advanced configurations. Point your web browser to the links
