1 Samba, The Next Generation.
5 if you got this far, you probably obtained samba using cvs. well done.
6 in order to maintain it, you will need to use cvs update, but occasionally
7 this will fail, and you will need to delete your cvs tree and start again.
8 instructions, in case it was a while since you last did that, are at
9 http://samba.org/cvs.html. remember to use SAMBA_TNG as the tag name.
11 there is also a FAQ, maintained by Lars Kneschke <lars@kneschke.de>, at
12 http://www.kneschke.de/projekte/samba_tng.
14 basic compilation and usage instructions. the following are executed at
15 the unix prompt, if you hadn't already guessed.
21 to run samba, you will need:
26 if you are using any nt clients, running the following will change the
27 behaviour of the nt clients towards samba, which will improve the nt
28 clients' reliability and performance:
33 if you intend to operate samba with "encrypt passwords = yes",
34 "update encrypted = yes" or "migrate passwords = yes", you will
42 you will also need to add your own samba server as a trust account.
43 one way to do this, in the usual manner, is:
45 bin/smbpasswd -a -m your_samba_server_name
47 if you need NT-style printing:
51 if you want to be able to start/stop services remotely (yes, dammit,
52 you can only do this as root, you think i'm stupid????), you will need,
53 as well as your own rc.services script in /usr/local/samba/bin:
58 i _really_ like this daemon architecture stuff. if ever there's a problem,
59 or you want to upgrade one component, just kill the relevant daemon,
60 NOT smbd and NOT any of the other services, and restart it. i think

66 i liked the daemon architecture so much i decided to add it to cvs main,
67 or what is affectionately known as the SAMBA-3 tree. what i added was
68 code that, instead of _always_ redirecting to the daemon architecture
69 like in SAMBA_TNG, samba cvs main _attempts_ to redirect to the daemon
70 architecture. if this fails, it will fall back to using the internal
73 so, if you want to use smbd file-services in cvs main, which are much better,
74 then simply run cvs main's smbd daemon instead of SAMBA_TNG's.
