A Sample smb.conf File For a BDC
The following is a sample Samba configuration File, /etc/smb.conf, used for an HP CIFS Server
machine hostB acting as a BDC in the sample Samba Domain Model shown in Figure 9-5:

Configuration Options
• passdb backend: You must set this parameter to ldapsam_compat:ldap://<ldap
server name> if you want to use an old Samba subschema for the LDAP databases. If you
attempt to use the new subschema supported by HP CIFS Server A.02.01, you must set this
parameter to ldapsam:ldap://<ldap server name>
• domain master: Set this parameter to no in order for the HP CIFS Server to act as a BDC.
• WINs Server: If you attempt to use the PDC as the WINs server, set this parameter to the
PDC's machine name.
• domain logon: You must set this parameter to yes to provide netlogon services.
A Sample smb.conf File for a Domain Member Server
When configuring the HP CIFS Server to act as a member server, you need to configure the relative
domain parameters in the /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf file by using the SWAT tool, or an
editor, or by running samba_setup.
The following is a sample Samba configuration File, /etc/smb.conf, used for an HP CIFS Server
machine hostC acting as a domain member server in the sample Samba Domain Model shown
in Figure 9-5:
