1 <samba:parameter name="rpc_daemon:DAEMON"
5 xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
8 Defines whether to use the embedded code or start a separate daemon
9 for the defined rpc services.
10 The rpc_daemon prefix must be followed by the server name, and a value.
14 Two possible values are currently supported:
15 <command moreinfo="none">disabled</command>
16 <command moreinfo="none">fork</command>
20 The classic method is to run rpc services as internal daemons
21 embedded in smbd, therefore the external daemons are
22 <emphasis>disabled</emphasis> by default.
26 Choosing the <emphasis>fork</emphasis> option will cause samba to fork
27 a separate proces for each daemon configured this way. Each daemon may
28 in turn fork a number of children used to handle requests from multiple
29 smbds and direct tcp/ip connections (if the Endpoint Mapper is
30 enabled). Communication with smbd happens over named pipes and require
31 that said pipes are forward to the external daemon (see <smbconfoption
36 Forked RPC Daemons support dynamically forking children to handle
37 connections. The heuristics about how many children to keep around and
38 how fast to allow them to fork and also how many clients each child is
39 allowed to handle concurrently is defined by parametrical options named
41 Five options are currently supported:
42 <command moreinfo="none">prefork_min_children</command>
43 <command moreinfo="none">prefork_max_children</command>
44 <command moreinfo="none">prefork_spawn_rate</command>
45 <command moreinfo="none">prefork_max_allowed_clients</command>
46 <command moreinfo="none">prefork_child_min_life</command>
48 To set one of these options use the follwing syntax:
50 damonname:prefork_min_children = 5
55 Samba includes separate daemons for spoolss and the lsarpc/lsass,
56 netlogon and samr pipes. Currently three daemons are available and they
58 <command moreinfo="none">epmd</command>
59 <command moreinfo="none">lsasd</command>
60 <command moreinfo="none">spoolssd</command>
63 rpc_daemon:spoolssd = fork
68 <value type="default">disabled</value>
