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

121 --enable-fhs \
122 --enable-nss-wrapper &amp;&amp;
123
124make</userinput></screen>
125
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>
136
137<screen><userinput>sed -i "/samba3.blackbox.failure.failure/i \^samba3.raw.eas" selftest/knownfail</userinput></screen>

242 <title>Configuration Information</title>
243
244 <para>Due to the complexity and the many various uses for
245 <application>Samba</application>, complete configuration for all the
246 package's capabilities is well beyond the scope of the BLFS book. This
247 section provides instructions to configure the
248 <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file for two common scenarios.
249 The complete contents of <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> will
250 depend on the purpose of <application>Samba</application>
251 installation.</para>
252
253 <note>
254 <para>You may find it easier to copy the configuration parameters shown
255 below into an empty <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file
256 instead of copying and editing the default file as mentioned in the
257 <quote>Command Explanations</quote> section. How you create/edit the
258 <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file will be left up to
259 you. Do ensure the file is only writeable by the

264 <title>Scenario 1: Minimal Standalone Client-Only Installation</title>
265
266 <para>Choose this variant if you only want to transfer files using
267 <command>smbclient</command>, mount Windows shares and print to Windows
268 printers, and don't want to share your files and printers to Windows
269 machines.</para>
270
271 <para>A <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file with the following
272 three parameters is sufficient:</para>
273
274<screen role='root'><literal>[global]
275 workgroup = <replaceable>MYGROUP</replaceable>
276 dos charset = <replaceable>cp850</replaceable>
277 unix charset = <replaceable>ISO-8859-1</replaceable></literal></screen>
278
279 <para>The values in this example specify that the computer belongs to a
280 Windows workgroup named
281 <quote><replaceable>MYGROUP</replaceable></quote>, uses the
282 <quote><replaceable>cp850</replaceable></quote> character set on the
283 wire when talking to MS-DOS and MS Windows 9x, and that the filenames
284 are stored in the <quote><replaceable>ISO-8859-1</replaceable></quote>
285 encoding on the disk. Adjust these values appropriately for your
286 installation. The <quote>unix charset</quote> value must be the same as
287 the output of <command>locale charmap</command> when executed with the
288 <envar>LANG</envar> variable set to your preferred locale, otherwise the
289 <command>ls</command> command may not display correct filenames of
290 downloaded files.</para>
291
292 <para>There is no need to run any <application>Samba</application>
293 servers in this scenario, thus you don't need to install the provided
294 bootscripts.</para>

299 <title>Scenario 2: Standalone File/Print Server</title>
300
301 <para>Choose this variant if you want to share your files and printers
302 to Windows machines in your workgroup in addition to the capabilities
303 described in Scenario 1.</para>
304
305 <para>In this case, the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf.default</filename>
306 file may be a good template to start from. Also add
307 <quote>dos charset</quote> and <quote>unix charset</quote> parameters
308 to the <quote>[global]</quote> section as described in Scenario 1 in
309 order to prevent filename corruption. For security reasons, you may
310 wish to define
311 <replaceable>path = /home/alice/shared-files</replaceable>,
312 assuming your user name is <replaceable>alice</replaceable> and you
313 only want to share the files in that directory, instead of your entire
314 home. Then, replace <replaceable>homes</replaceable> by
315 <replaceable>shared-files</replaceable> and change also the
316 <quote><literal>comment</literal></quote> if used the configuration
317 file below or the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf.default</filename>
318 to create yours.</para>
319
320 <para>The following configuration file creates a separate share for each
321 user's home directory and also makes all printers available to Windows
322 machines:</para>

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

370 <title>Advanced Requirements</title>
371
372 <para>More complex scenarios involving domain control or membership are
373 possible. Such setups are advanced topics and cannot be adequately
374 covered in BLFS. Many complete books have been written on these topics
375 alone. Note that in some domain membership scenarios, the
376 <command>winbindd</command> daemon and the corresponding bootscript are
377 needed.</para>
378
379 <para>There is quite a bit of documentation available which covers many
380 of these advanced configurations. Point your web browser to the links
