A Samba/iX Sample Comﬁguration

File

The following is the sample conﬁguration ﬁle samp-smb.cnf for

Samba/iX that you can ﬁnd in the /usr/local/samba/lib directory on

the HP 3000 system:

# Sample config file for Samba/iX 0.7 and later”

# Copy this file to /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf and adjust as needed.

# You must at least adjust the “interfaces” directive to match

# your IP address and subnet mask (if used) as the current version

# of Samba/iX is unable to retrieve the NMMGR configured values.

# Some of the directives in this sample file are redundant because

# they explicitly specify hardcoded default values that would also

# be in effect if the directives were omitted. They are nevertheless

# included here to document their availability for customization.

# IMPORTANT WARNING: Some of the configuration options do have serious

# security implications and can cause risks or security holes if used

# improperly, especially when you decide to run the SMBD job under a

# user with PM (or even SM) capabilities or even select an SM capable

# user in the “guest account” directive.

# The documentation for smb.conf (available as man page in ../docs as

# well as HTML file in ../html) is thus STRONGLY RECOMMENDED reading!

# Also see the installation and configuration instructions for the

# different ways of running SMBD (i.e. with or without a PM user and

# even without PM program capabilities at all) and the associated

# tradeoffs between feature sets and security issues.
