configure Samba for Debian systems

NAME

sambaconfig - configure Samba for Debian systems

SYNOPSIS

sambaconfig [--run-from-inetd|--run-as-daemons] [--no-reload]

DESCRIPTION

sambaconfig is used to simplify the configuration of samba(8) for use on Debian systems.

You may run this program to (re)configure samba for your Debian system at any time.

Normally sambaconfig will ask if you want to reload the Samba daemons after making changes to its configuration. The --no-reload option will avoid this question. Note that if Samba is running from inetd and --no-reload is not supplied no questions is asked because Samba will start automatically from inetd when there is traffic on the NetBIOS ports.

FILES

/etc/inetd.conf

If the lines that start the NetBIOS daemons nmbd and smbd are commented out then Samba will start as daemons from /etc/init.d/start

/etc/init.d/samba

Script that will start/stop/restart Samba when running as daemons

/etc/samba/smbpasswd

Encrypted passwords file for the Samba daemons

/etc/samba/debian_config

Debian specific configuration information, it holds the mode in which Samba is running (from inetd or as daemons).
