<command>smbumount</command>, <command>mount.cifs</command> and
<command>umount.cifs</command> commands must be setuid

only mount SMB/CIFS shares on a mount point owned by that user (requires
write access also). If desired, change these programs to setuid
<systemitem class='username'>root</systemitem> by issuing the following

<title>Configuration Information</title>
<para>Due to the complexity and the many various uses for
<application>Samba</application>, complete configuration for all the
package's capabilities is well beyond the scope of the BLFS book. This
section provides instructions to configure the
<filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file for two common scenarios.
The complete contents of <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> will
depend on the purpose of <application>Samba</application>
installation.</para>
<note>
<para>You may find it easier to copy the configuration parameters shown
below into an empty <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file
instead of copying and editing the default file as mentioned in the
<quote>Command Explanations</quote> section. How you create/edit the
<filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file will be left up to
you. Do ensure the file is only writeable by the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user (mode 644).</para>
</note>
<sect4>
<title>Scenario 1: Minimal Standalone Client-Only Installation</title>
<para>Choose this variant if you only want to transfer files using
<command>smbclient</command>, mount Windows shares and print to Windows
printers, and don't want to share your files and printers to Windows
machines.</para>
<para>A <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file with the following
three parameters is sufficient:</para>
<screen role='root'><literal>[global]
workgroup = <replaceable>MYGROUP</replaceable>
dos charset = <replaceable>cp850</replaceable>
unix charset = <replaceable>ISO-8859-1</replaceable></literal></screen>
<para>The values in this example specify that the computer belongs to a
Windows workgroup named
<quote><replaceable>MYGROUP</replaceable></quote>, uses the
<quote><replaceable>cp850</replaceable></quote> character set on the
wire when talking to MS-DOS and MS Windows 9x, and that the filenames
are stored in the <quote><replaceable>ISO-8859-1</replaceable></quote>
encoding on the disk. Adjust these values appropriately for your
installation. The <quote>unix charset</quote> value must be the same as
the output of <command>locale charmap</command> when executed with the
<envar>LANG</envar> variable set to your preferred locale, otherwise the
<command>ls</command> command may not display correct filenames of
downloaded files.</para>
<para>There is no need to run any <application>Samba</application>
servers in this scenario, thus you don't need to install the provided
bootscripts.</para>
</sect4>
<sect4>
<title>Scenario 2: Standalone File/Print Server</title>
<para>Choose this variant if you want to share your files and printers
to Windows machines in your workgroup in addition to the capabilities
described in Scenario 1.</para>
<para>In this case, the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf.default</filename>
file may be a good template to start from. Also add
<quote>dos charset</quote> and <quote>unix charset</quote> parameters
to the <quote>[global]</quote> section as described in Scenario 1 in
order to prevent filename corruption.</para>
<para>The following configuration file creates a separate share for each
user's home directory and also makes all printers available to Windows
machines:</para>
<screen role='root'><literal>[global]
workgroup = <replaceable>MYGROUP</replaceable>
dos charset = <replaceable>cp850</replaceable>
unix charset = <replaceable>ISO-8859-1</replaceable>
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = no
printable = yes</literal></screen>
<para>Other parameters you may wish to customize in the
<quote>[global]</quote> section include:</para>
<screen role='root'><literal> server string =
security =
hosts allow =
load printers =
log file =
max log size =
socket options =
local master =</literal></screen>
<para>Reference the comments in the
<filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf.default</filename> file for information
regarding these parameters.</para>
<para>Since the <command>smbd</command> and <command>nmbd</command>
daemons are needed in this case, install the <filename>samba</filename>
bootscript. Be sure to run <command>smbpasswd</command> (with the
<option>-a</option> option to add users) to enable and
set passwords for all accounts that need
<application>Samba</application> access, or use the SWAT web interface
(see below) to do the same. Using the default
<application>Samba</application> passdb backend, any user you attempt
to add will also be required to exist in the
<filename>/etc/passwd</filename> file.</para>
</sect4>
<sect4>
<title>Advanced Requirements</title>
<para>More complex scenarios involving domain control or membership are
possible if the right flags are passed to the ./configure script when
the package is built. Such setups are advanced topics and cannot be
adequately covered in BLFS. Many complete books have been written on
these topics alone. It should be noted, however, that a
<application>Samba</application> BDC cannot be used as a fallback
for a Windows PDC, and conversely, a Windows BDC cannot be used as a
fallback for a <application>Samba</application> PDC. Also in some
domain membership scenarios, the <command>winbindd</command> daemon and
the corresponding bootscript are needed.</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 view some of the documentation included with the

<title>Configuring SWAT</title>
<para>The built in SWAT (<application>Samba</application> Web
Administration Tool) utility can be used for basic configuration of
the <application>Samba</application> installation, but because it may
be inconvenient, undesirable or perhaps even impossible to gain
access to the console, BLFS recommends setting up access to SWAT using
<application>Stunnel</application>. Without
<application>Stunnel</application>, the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> password is transmitted
