1 <samba:parameter name="rpc_daemon:DAEMON"
4 xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
7 Defines whether to use the embedded code or start a separate daemon
8 for the defined rpc services.
9 The rpc_daemon prefix must be followed by the server name, and a value.
13 Two possible values are currently supported:
21 The classic method is to run rpc services as internal daemons
22 embedded in smbd, therefore the external daemons are
23 <emphasis>disabled</emphasis> by default.
27 Choosing the <emphasis>fork</emphasis> option will cause samba to fork
28 a separate process for each daemon configured this way. Each daemon may
29 in turn fork a number of children used to handle requests from multiple
30 smbds and direct tcp/ip connections (if the Endpoint Mapper is
31 enabled). Communication with smbd happens over named pipes and require
32 that said pipes are forward to the external daemon (see <smbconfoption
37 Forked RPC Daemons support dynamically forking children to handle
38 connections. The heuristics about how many children to keep around and
39 how fast to allow them to fork and also how many clients each child is
40 allowed to handle concurrently is defined by parametrical options named
42 Five options are currently supported:
47 prefork_max_allowed_clients
48 prefork_child_min_life
51 To set one of these options use the following syntax:
53 daemonname:prefork_min_children = 5
58 Samba includes separate daemons for spoolss, lsarpc/lsass,
59 netlogon, samr, FSRVP and mdssvc(Spotlight). Currently five
60 daemons are available and they are called:
70 rpc_daemon:spoolssd = fork
75 <value type="default">disabled</value>
