Hi all,

I have tried to write management tools for samba, but it seems there's
no standard way provided by Samba to change its configuration or modify
users account other than direct modify the config file and or database
backend. This make many tools less portable because it depends on the
backend of samba.

There might be a windows rpc call (use by usrmgr.exe and
svrmgr.exe), is it the 'standard' way to access samba?

There's a lot of rpc calls available.  These will get you so
far.  I have considered making smb.conf remotely available via the
registry API but its still in the thought stage.  Would that be
something that people would want ?

Something like

[HKLM\Software\Samba.org\Configuration]
[HKLM\Software\Samba.org\Configuration\global]
[HKLM\Software\Samba.org\Configuration\homes]
[HKLM\Software\Samba.org\Configuration\share1]
...

so, if this will be implemented, I can connect with registry editing tools and remotely manage configuration ?


And then editable valuename/data pairs for parameters.






cheers, jerry
