1 Template: samba/run_mode
4 Choices: daemons, inetd
5 Description: How do you want to run Samba?
6 The Samba services (nmbd and smbd) can run as normal daemons or
7 from inetd. Running as daemons is the recommended approach.
9 Template: samba/generate_smbpasswd
12 Description: Create samba password file, /etc/samba/smbpasswd?
13 To be compatible with the defaults in most versions of Windows,
14 Samba must be configured to use encrypted passwords. This requires
15 user passwords to be stored in a file separate from /etc/passwd.
16 This file can be created automatically, but the passwords must
17 be added manually (by you or the user) by running smbpasswd,
18 and you must arrange to keep it up-to-date in the future. If
19 you do not create it, you will have to reconfigure samba
20 (and probably your client machines) to use plaintext passwords.
21 See /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/ENCRYPTION.html from the
22 samba-doc package for more details.
24 Template: samba/log_files_moved
26 Description: Samba's log files have moved.
27 Starting with the first packages of Samba 2.2 for Debian the log
28 files for both Samba daemons (nmbd and smbd) are now stored in
29 /var/log/samba/. The names of the files are log.nmbd and log.smbd,
30 for nmbd and smbd respectively.
32 The old log files that were in /var/log/ will be moved to
33 the new location for you.
