<title>Introduction to <application>Samba</application></title>

<para>The <application>Samba</application> package provides file and print 
services to <acronym>SMB</acronym>/<acronym>CIFS</acronym> clients and
Windows networking to Linux clients. <application>Samba</application> can also 
be configured as a Windows NT 4.0 Domain Controller replacement 
(with caveats working with NT <acronym>PDC</acronym>'s and 
<acronym>BDC</acronym>'s), a file/print server acting as a member of a 
Windows NT 4.0 or Active Directory domain and a NetBIOS (rfc1001/1002) 
nameserver (which amongst other things provides 
<acronym>LAN</acronym> browsing support).</para>

<para>Now, as the root user:</para>

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>make install &amp;&amp;

<title>Command explanations</title>

<para><command>install -d /var/cache/samba</command>: This directory is 
needed for proper operation of the <command>smbd</command> and 
<command>nmbd</command> daemons.</para>

<para><parameter>--sysconfdir=/etc</parameter>: Sets the configuration
file directory to avoid the default of 
<filename class="directory">/usr/etc</filename>.</para>

<para><parameter>--localstatedir=/var</parameter>: Sets the variable
data directory to avoid the default of 
<filename class="directory">/usr/var</filename>.</para>

<para><option>--with-fhs</option>: Assigns all other file paths in a manner 
compliant with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 
(<acronym>FHS</acronym>).</para>

<para><option>--with-smbmount</option>: Orders the creation of an extra 
binary for use by the <command>mount</command> command so that mounting remote 
<acronym>SMB</acronym> (Windows) shares becomes no more complex than mounting 
remote <acronym>NFS</acronym> shares.</para>

<para><option>--with-pam</option>: Use this parameter to link 
<application>Linux-<acronym>PAM</acronym></application> into the build. This 
also builds the <filename class='libraryfile'>pam_winbind.so</filename> 
<application><acronym>PAM</acronym></application> module. You can find 
instructions on how to configure and use the module by running 
<command>man winbindd</command>.</para>

<para><command>mv /usr/lib/samba/libsmbclient.so ...; ln -sf 
../libsmbclient.so ...</command>: The 
<filename class='libraryfile'>libsmbclient.so</filename> library is needed 
by other packages. This command moves it to a location where other packages 
can find it.</para>

<para><command>install -m755 nsswitch/libnss_win{s,bind}.so /lib</command>:
The nss libraries are not installed by default.  If you intend to use
winbindd for domain auth, and/or <acronym>WINS</acronym> name resolution, 
you need these libraries.</para> 

<para><command>ln -sf libnss_winbind.so /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2</command> 
and <command>ln -sf libnss_wins.so /lib/libnss_wins.so.2</command>:
These symlinks are required by glibc to use the nss libraries.</para>

<para><command>cp ../examples/smb.conf.default /etc/samba</command>:
This copies a default <filename>smb.conf </filename>into
<filename>/etc/samba</filename>.  This sample configuration will not 
work unless edited for your site, and renamed 
<filename>smb.conf</filename>.</para>

<sect3><title>Configuration overview and available documentation</title>

<para>Due to the complexity and the many various uses for 
<application>Samba</application>, complete configuration is well beyond the 
scope of the <acronym>BLFS</acronym> book. Advanced configurations including 
setting up Primary and Backup Domain Controllers are advanced topics and 
cannot be adequately covered in <acronym>BLFS</acronym> (it should be noted, 
however, that a <application>Samba</application> <acronym>BDC</acronym> cannot 
be used as a fallback for a 
<application>Windows</application> <acronym>PDC</acronym>, and conversely, a 
<application>Windows</application> <acronym>BDC</acronym> cannot be used as a 
fallback for a <application>Samba</application> <acronym>PDC</acronym>). Many 
complete books have been written on these topics alone.</para>

<para>There is quite a bit of documentation available which covers many of 
these advanced configurations. Point your web browser to the links below to

<para>The built in <acronym>SWAT</acronym>

for basic configuration of the <application>Samba</application> installation,
