1 <samba:parameter name="rpc_server"
5 xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
8 Defines what kind of rpc server to use for a named pipe.
9 The rpc_server prefix must be followed by the pipe name, and a value.
13 Three possible values are currently supported:
14 <command moreinfo="none">embedded</command>
15 <command moreinfo="none">daemon</command>
16 <command moreinfo="none">external</command>
20 The classic method is to run every pipe as an internal function
21 <emphasis>embedded</emphasis> in smbd.
25 An alternative method is to fork a <emphasis>daemon</emphasis>
26 early on at smbd startup time. This is supported only for selected
31 Choosing the <emphasis>external</emphasis> option allows to run a
32 completely independent (3rd party) server capable of interfacing
33 with samba via the MS-RPC interface over named pipes.
37 Currently only the spoolss pipe can be configured in
38 <emphasis>daemon</emphasis> mode like this:
40 rpc_server:spoolss = daemon
45 <value type="default">none</value>
