Configuration command explanations cat > /etc/samba/smb.conf << "EOF" : Create a default Samba configuration file. This configuration will allow Samba to act as a Primary Domain Controller for a Microsoft Windows based network. If this is not desired, a simpler default smb.conf file is bundled with the Samba distribution. See the samba&samba-version/examples/smb.conf.default file. Primary Domain Controller configuration is slightly more complicated than ordinary member server configuration, so instructions for PDC configuration will be given here. cat > /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba << "EOF" : Create the Samba boot script, used to start and stop Samba automatically on machine startup and shutdown. /usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d /dev/null -c \ "Win2k Server" -s /bin/false win2kbox$ : This command creates a machine trust account, necessary only for Windows 2000/NT servers to authenticate to our new PDC. Machine trust accounts are not necessary for Win95/98 clients. echo "swat 901/tcp" >> /etc/services : Register the swat service to run on port 901. echo "swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat" >> /etc/inetd.conf : Instruct inetd where to find and how to run swat. ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S600samba, etc. : Create the Samba boot scripts, used to start and stop Samba automatically on machine startup and shutdown.
