<title>Fast Start: Cure for Impatience</title>
<para>
When we first asked for suggestions for inclusion in the Samba HOWTO documentation,
someone wrote asking for example configurations &smbmdash; and lots of them. That is remarkably
difficult to do without losing a lot of value that can be derived from presenting
many extracts from working systems. That is what the rest of this document does.
It does so with extensive descriptions of the configuration possibilities within the
context of the chapter that covers it. We hope that this chapter is the medicine
that has been requested.
</para>
<para>
The information in this chapter is very sparse compared with the book <quote>Samba-3 by Example</quote>
that was written after the original version of this book was nearly complete. <quote>Samba-3 by Example</quote>
was the result of feedback from reviewers during the final copy editing of the first edition. It
was interesting to see that reader feedback mirrored that given by the original reviewers.
In any case, a month and a half was spent in doing basic research to better understand what
new as well as experienced network administrators would best benefit from. The book <quote>Samba-3 by Example</quote>
is the result of that research. What is presented in the few pages of this book is covered
far more comprehensively in the second edition of <quote>Samba-3 by Example</quote>. The second edition
of both books will be released at the same time.
</para>
<para>
So in summary, the book <quote>The Official Samba-3 HOWTO & Reference Guide</quote> is intended
as the equivalent of an auto mechanic's repair guide. The book <quote>Samba-3 by Example</quote> is the
equivalent of the driver's guide that explains how to drive the car. If you want complete network
configuration examples, go to <ulink url="http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf">Samba-3 by
Example</ulink>.

<title>Features and Benefits</title>
<para>
Samba needs very little configuration to create a basic working system.
In this chapter we progress from the simple to the complex, for each providing
all steps and configuration file changes needed to make each work. Please note
that a comprehensively configured system will likely employ additional smart
features. These additional features are covered in the remainder of this document.
</para>
<para>
The examples used here have been obtained from a number of people who made
requests for example configurations. All identities have been obscured to protect
the guilty, and any resemblance to unreal nonexistent sites is deliberate.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1>
<title>Description of Example Sites</title>
<para>
In the first set of configuration examples we consider the case of exceptionally simple system requirements.
There is a real temptation to make something that should require little effort much too complex.
</para>
<para>
<link linkend="anon-ro"></link> documents the type of server that might be sufficient to serve CD-ROM images,
or reference document files for network client use. This configuration is also discussed in <link
linkend="StandAloneServer"></link>, <link linkend="RefDocServer"></link>. The purpose for this configuration
is to provide a shared volume that is read-only that anyone, even guests, can access.
</para>
<para>
The second example shows a minimal configuration for a print server that anyone can print to as long as they
have the correct printer drivers installed on their computer. This is a mirror of the system described in
<link linkend="StandAloneServer"></link>, <link linkend="SimplePrintServer"></link>.
</para>
<para>
The next example is of a secure office file and print server that will be accessible only to users who have an
account on the system. This server is meant to closely resemble a workgroup file and print server, but has to
be more secure than an anonymous access machine. This type of system will typically suit the needs of a small
office. The server provides no network logon facilities, offers no domain control; instead it is just a
network-attached storage (NAS) device and a print server.
</para>
<para>
The later example consider more complex systems that will either integrate into existing MS Windows networks
or replace them entirely. These cover domain member servers as well as Samba domain control (PDC/BDC) and
finally describes in detail a large distributed network with branch offices in remote locations.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1>
<title>Worked Examples</title>
<para>
The configuration examples are designed to cover everything necessary to get Samba
running. They do not cover basic operating system platform configuration, which is
clearly beyond the scope of this text.
</para>
<para>
It is also assumed that Samba has been correctly installed, either by way of installation
of the packages that are provided by the operating system vendor or through other means.
</para>
<sect2>
<title>Standalone Server</title>
<para>
<indexterm><primary>Server Type</primary><secondary>Stand-alone</secondary></indexterm>
A standalone server implies no more than the fact that it is not a domain controller
and it does not participate in domain control. It can be a simple, workgroup-like
server, or it can be a complex server that is a member of a domain security context.
</para>
<para>
As the examples are developed, every attempt is made to progress the system toward greater capability, just as
one might expect would happen in a real business office as that office grows in size and its needs change.
</para>
<sect3 id="anon-ro">
<title>Anonymous Read-Only Document Server</title>
<para>
<indexterm><primary>read only</primary><secondary>server</secondary></indexterm>
The purpose of this type of server is to make available to any user
any documents or files that are placed on the shared resource. The
shared resource could be a CD-ROM drive, a CD-ROM image, or a file
storage area.
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
The file system share point will be <filename>/export</filename>.

<listitem><para>
All files will be owned by a user called Jack Baumbach.
Jack's login name will be <emphasis>jackb</emphasis>. His password will be
<emphasis>m0r3pa1n</emphasis> &smbmdash; of course, that's just the example we are
using; do not use this in a production environment because
all readers of this document will know it.

Test the configuration file by executing the following command:
<screen>
&rootprompt;<userinput>testparm</userinput>
</screen>
Alternatively, where you are operating from a master configuration file called
<filename>smb.conf.master</filename>, the following sequence of commands might prove
more appropriate:
<screen>
&rootprompt; cd /etc/samba
&rootprompt; testparm -s smb.conf.master > smb.conf
&rootprompt; testparm
</screen>
Note any error messages that might be produced. Proceed only if error-free output has been
obtained. An example of typical output that should be generated from the above configuration
file is shown here:
<screen>
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf

We should view this configuration as a progression from the previous example.
The difference is that shared access is now forced to the user identity of jackb
and to the primary group jackb belongs to. One other refinement we can make is to
add the user <emphasis>jackb</emphasis> to the <filename>smbpasswd</filename> file.
To do this, execute:
<screen>
&rootprompt;<userinput>smbpasswd -a jackb</userinput>
New SMB password: <userinput>m0r3pa1n</userinput>
Retype new SMB password: <userinput>m0r3pa1n</userinput>
Added user jackb.
</screen>
Addition of this user to the <filename>smbpasswd</filename> file allows all files
to be displayed in the Explorer Properties boxes as belonging to <emphasis>jackb</emphasis>
instead of to <emphasis>User Unknown</emphasis>.

<title>Anonymous Print Server</title>

An anonymous print server serves two purposes:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
It allows printing to all printers from a single location.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
It reduces network traffic congestion due to many users trying
to access a limited number of printers.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
In the simplest of anonymous print servers, it is common to require the installation
of the correct printer drivers on the Windows workstation. In this case the print
server will be designed to just pass print jobs through to the spooler, and the spooler
should be configured to do raw pass-through to the printer. In other words, the print
spooler should not filter or process the data stream being passed to the printer.
</para>

In this configuration, it is undesirable to present the Add Printer Wizard, and we do
not want to have automatic driver download, so we disable it in the following

<para>
The above configuration is not ideal. It uses no smart features, and it deliberately
presents a less than elegant solution. But it is basic, and it does print. Samba makes
use of the direct printing application program interface that is provided by CUPS.
When Samba has been compiled and linked with the CUPS libraries, the default printing
system will be CUPS. By specifying that the printcap name is CUPS, Samba will use
the CUPS library API to communicate directly with CUPS for all printer functions.
It is possible to force the use of external printing commands by setting the value
of the <parameter>printing</parameter> to either SYSV or BSD, and thus the value of
the parameter <parameter>printcap name</parameter> must be set to something other than
CUPS. In such case, it could be set to the name of any file that contains a list
of printers that should be made available to Windows clients.
</para>
<note><para>
Windows users will need to install a local printer and then change the print
to device after installation of the drivers. The print to device can then be set to
the network printer on this machine.
</para></note>
<para>
Make sure that the directory <filename>/var/spool/samba</filename> is capable of being used
as intended. The following steps must be taken to achieve this:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
The directory must be owned by the superuser (root) user and group:
<screen>
&rootprompt;<userinput>chown root.root /var/spool/samba</userinput>
</screen>
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
Directory permissions should be set for public read-write with the
sticky bit set as shown:
<screen>
&rootprompt;<userinput>chmod a+twrx /var/spool/samba</userinput>
</screen>
The purpose of setting the sticky bit is to prevent who does not own the temporary print file
from being able to take control of it with the potential for devious misuse.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<note><para>
<indexterm><primary>MIME</primary><secondary>raw</secondary></indexterm>
<indexterm><primary>raw printing</primary></indexterm>
On CUPS-enabled systems there is a facility to pass raw data directly to the printer without
intermediate processing via CUPS print filters. Where use of this mode of operation is desired,
it is necessary to configure a raw printing device. It is also necessary to enable the raw mime
handler in the <filename>/etc/mime.conv</filename> and <filename>/etc/mime.types</filename>
files. Refer to <link linkend="cups-raw"></link>.

<title>Secure Read-Write File and Print Server</title>
<para>
We progress now from simple systems to a server that is slightly more complex.
</para>
<para>
Our new server will require a public data storage area in which only authenticated
users (i.e., those with a local account) can store files, as well as a home directory.
There will be one printer that should be available for everyone to use.
</para>
<para>
In this hypothetical environment (no espionage was conducted to obtain this data),
the site is demanding a simple environment that is <emphasis>secure enough</emphasis>
but not too difficult to use.
</para>
<para>
Site users will be Jack Baumbach, Mary Orville, and Amed Sehkah. Each will have
a password (not shown in further examples). Mary will be the printer administrator and will
own all files in the public share.
</para>
<para>
This configuration will be based on <emphasis>user-level security</emphasis> that
is the default, and for which the default is to store Microsoft Windows-compatible
encrypted passwords in a file called <filename>/etc/samba/smbpasswd</filename>.
The default &smb.conf; entry that makes this happen is
<smbconfoption name="passdb backend">smbpasswd, guest</smbconfoption>. Since this is the default,
it is not necessary to enter it into the configuration file. Note that the guest backend is
added to the list of active passdb backends no matter whether it specified directly in Samba configuration
file or not.

<title>Domain Member Server</title>
<para>
<indexterm><primary>Server Type</primary><secondary>Domain Member</secondary></indexterm>
In this instance we consider the simplest server configuration we can get away with
to make an accounting department happy. Let's be warned, the users are accountants and they
do have some nasty demands. There is a budget for only one server for this department.
</para>
<para>
The network is managed by an internal Information Services Group (ISG), to which we belong.
Internal politics are typical of a medium-sized organization; Human Resources is of the
opinion that they run the ISG because they are always adding and disabling users. Also,
departmental managers have to fight tooth and nail to gain basic network resources access for
their staff. Accounting is different, though, they get exactly what they want. So this should
set the scene.
</para>
<para>
We use the users from the last example. The accounting department
has a general printer that all departmental users may use. There is also a check printer
that may be used only by the person who has authority to print checks. The chief financial
officer (CFO) wants that printer to be completely restricted and for it to be located in the
private storage area in her office. It therefore must be a network printer.
</para>
<para>
The accounting department uses an accounting application called <emphasis>SpytFull</emphasis>
that must be run from a central application server. The software is licensed to run only off
one server, there are no workstation components, and it is run off a mapped share. The data
store is in a UNIX-based SQL backend. The UNIX gurus look after that, so this is not our
problem.
</para>
<para>
The accounting department manager (maryo) wants a general filing system as well as a separate
file storage area for form letters (nastygrams). The form letter area should be read-only to
all accounting staff except the manager. The general filing system has to have a structured
layout with a general area for all staff to store general documents as well as a separate
file area for each member of her team that is private to that person, but she wants full
access to all areas. Users must have a private home share for personal work-related files
and for materials not related to departmental operations.

<para>
<indexterm><primary>Server Type</primary><secondary>Domain Controller</secondary></indexterm>
For the remainder of this chapter the focus is on the configuration of domain control.
The examples that follow are for two implementation strategies. Remember, our objective is
to create a simple but working solution. The remainder of this book should help to highlight
opportunity for greater functionality and the complexity that goes with it.
</para>
<para>
A domain controller configuration can be achieved with a simple configuration using the new
tdbsam password backend. This type of configuration is good for small
offices, but has limited scalability (cannot be replicated), and performance can be expected
to fall as the size and complexity of the domain increases.
</para>
<para>
The use of tdbsam is best limited to sites that do not need
more than a Primary Domain Controller (PDC). As the size of a domain grows the need
for additional domain controllers becomes apparent. Do not attempt to under-resource
a Microsoft Windows network environment; domain controllers provide essential
authentication services. The following are symptoms of an under-resourced domain control
environment:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
Domain logons intermittently fail.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
File access on a domain member server intermittently fails, giving a permission denied
error message.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
A more scalable domain control authentication backend option might use
Microsoft Active Directory or an LDAP-based backend. Samba-3 provides
for both options as a domain member server. As a PDC, Samba-3 is not able to provide
an exact alternative to the functionality that is available with Active Directory.
Samba-3 can provide a scalable LDAP-based PDC/BDC solution.
</para>
<para>
The tdbsam authentication backend provides no facility to replicate
the contents of the database, except by external means (i.e., there is no self-contained protocol
in Samba-3 for Security Account Manager database [SAM] replication).
</para>
<note><para>
If you need more than one domain controller, do not use a tdbsam authentication backend.
</para></note>

<title>Example: Engineering Office</title>
<para>
The engineering office network server we present here is designed to demonstrate use
of the new tdbsam password backend. The tdbsam
facility is new to Samba-3. It is designed to provide many user and machine account controls
that are possible with Microsoft Windows NT4. It is safe to use this in smaller networks.

In this section we finally get to review in brief a Samba-3 configuration that
uses a Lightweight Directory Access (LDAP)-based authentication backend. The
main reasons for this choice are to provide the ability to host primary
and Backup Domain Control (BDC), as well as to enable a higher degree of
scalability to meet the needs of a very distributed environment.

<title>The Primary Domain Controller</title>

This is an example of a minimal configuration to run a Samba-3 PDC
using an LDAP authentication backend. It is assumed that the operating system
has been correctly configured.

The Idealx scripts (or equivalent) are needed to manage LDAP-based POSIX and/or
SambaSamAccounts. The Idealx scripts may be downloaded from the <ulink url="http://www.idealx.org">

distributions tend to install the Idealx scripts in the
<filename>/usr/share/doc/packages/sambaXXXXXX/examples/LDAP/smbldap-tools</filename> directory.
Idealx scripts version <constant>smbldap-tools-0.9.1</constant> are known to work well.
