<title>Summary of Samba Daemons and Commands</title>




<para>This appendix is a reference listing of command-line options and other information to help you use the executables that come with Samba distribution.</para>











<sect1 role="" label="D.1" id="appd-SECT-1">
<title>Samba Distribution Programs</title>


<para>The following sections provide information about the command-line parameters for Samba programs.</para>

<para>
<indexterm id="appd-idx-993627-0" class="startofrange"><primary>smbd daemon</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm id="appd-idx-993627-1" class="startofrange"><primary>daemons</primary></indexterm>The <emphasis>smbd</emphasis> program provides Samba's file and printer services, using one TCP/IP stream and one daemon per client. It is controlled from the default configuration file, <replaceable>samba_dir</replaceable><emphasis>/lib/smb.conf</emphasis>, and can be overridden by command-line options.</para>


<para>The configuration file is automatically re-evaluated every minute. If it has changed, most new options are immediately effective. You can force Samba to immediately reload the configuration file if you send a SIGHUP to <emphasis>smbd</emphasis>. Reloading the configuration file, however, will not affect any clients that are already connected. To escape this "grandfather" configuration, a client would need to disconnect and reconnect, or the server itself would have to be restarted, forcing all clients to reconnect.</para>


<sect3 role="" label="D.1.1.1" id="appd-SECT-1.1.1">
<title>Other signals</title>


<para>To shut down a <emphasis>smbd</emphasis> process, send it the termination signal SIGTERM (-15) which allows it to die gracefully instead of a SIGKILL (-9). To increment the debug logging level of <emphasis>smbd</emphasis> at runtime, send the program a SIGUSR1 signal. To decrement it at runtime, send the program a SIGUSR2 signal.</para>

<title>nmbd</title>


<para>
<indexterm id="appd-idx-993645-0" class="startofrange"><primary>nmbd daemon</primary></indexterm>The <emphasis>nmbd</emphasis> program is Samba's NetBIOS name and browsing daemon. It replies to broadcast NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NBT) name-service requests from SMB clients and optionally to Microsoft's Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) requests. Both of these are versions of the name-to-address lookup required by SMB clients. The broadcast version uses UDP/IP broadcast on the local subnet only, while WINS uses TCP/IP, which may be routed. If running as a WINS server, <emphasis>nmbd</emphasis> keeps a current name and address database in the file <filename>wins.dat</filename> in the <literal>samba_dir</literal><filename>/var/locks</filename> directory.</para>


<para>An active <emphasis>nmbd</emphasis> program can also respond to browsing protocol requests used by the Windows Network Neighborhood. Browsing is a combined advertising, service announcement, and active directory protocol. This protocol provides a dynamic directory of servers and the disks and printers that the servers are providing. As with WINS, this was initially done by making UDP/IP broadcasts on the local subnet. Now, with the concept of a local master browser, it is done by making TCP/IP connections to a server. If <emphasis>nmbd</emphasis> is acting as a local master browser, it stores the browsing database in the file <filename>browse.dat</filename> in the <literal>samba_dir</literal><filename>/var/locks</filename> directory.</para>


<sect3 role="" label="D.1.2.1" id="appd-SECT-1.2.1">
<title>Signals</title>


<para>Like <emphasis>smbd</emphasis>, the <emphasis>nmbd</emphasis> program responds to several Unix signals. Sending <emphasis>nmbd</emphasis> a SIGHUP signal will cause it to dump the names it knows about to the file <filename>namelist.debug</filename> in the <literal>samba_dir</literal>/<emphasis>locks</emphasis> directory and its browsing database to the <filename>browse.dat </filename>file in the same directory. To shut down a <emphasis>nmbd</emphasis> process send it a SIGTERM (-15) signal instead of a SIGKILL (-9) to allow it to die gracefully. You can increment the debug logging level of <emphasis>nmbd</emphasis> by sending it a SIGUSR1 signal; you can decrement it by sending a SIGUSR2 signal.</para>
