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.
