Re: [Samba] large smb.conf file
I don't personally know of a way myself, but I think it would be of great value to be able to remove the share definition from the main smb.conf file, and maintain them in some sort of database. It would at the very least minimize the startup time in reading the configuration file but perhaps complicate smbd process startups by requiring a db connection of some sort; this is admittedly above and beyond my abilities to start/debug/design/debate, so I thought I might just pass on the idea to the list.

Re: [Samba] large smb.conf file
As a side note, the server is a SunFire E6900 with 8 dual core ultra IV procs and 32gigs of memory. With 300 smbd processes the issue can send load avg's up to around 100 and we see small issues with people who are trying to log into the domain at the same time. With 600 smbd processes running then the issue is obviously compounded. During the rest of the time, the server doesn't even really feel samba. We had not tried to use the copy share feature as suggested but will try that.

Tanks to a member of this list, I was able to solve my problem. He told me that if my samba installation is a new one, I must create the config file. And he was right. I then copied the samba config file sample given in samba sources to /usr/local/samba/lib, I edited it... And that's it! I could not know this because this is the first time I build samba sources.

Second use one subject ! In your conf is more errors. First if you use samba and not set guest acces shares is always authenticate! If need create public free acces to shares set security to user and on shares that maybe public add guest ok = yes. But then owner of all in this share is guest user set in your guest account to guest (must exist on linux). All new files on this share will be created as guest and blabla...

Simple shares with share based authentication. The machine i'm installing Samba on is a Red Hat 9 machine. I want to set up samba so it will ask me for username/password on each individual share, or simply make the whole shares scheme pulic. I've tried to make shares public, and no matter what I do I always get the same error : \\Serviteur is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact.. blah blah. The network path was not found. Even what I try to access my linux machine using SAMBA from itself I get a similar error. ( I can access the WinXP shares from Linux ) Here is my smb.conf : [global] workgroup = 5330-1 netbios name = Serviteur server string = Samba %V encrypt passwords = yes update encrypted = yes obey pam restrictions = Yes pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password %n\n *passwd:*all*:authentication*tokens*updated*succesfully* unix password sync = yes log level = 9 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RECVBUF = 8192 SO_SNDBUF = 8192 os level = 33 domain master = No dns proxy = No guest account = guest printing = cups wins support = yes security = share [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = no create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 browseable = Yes [webroot] comment = apache webroot path = /var/www/html public = yes writeable = yes browseable = Yes create mask = 0777 THANKS !
