1Template: samba-common/character_set 2Type: string 3_Description: Character Set for Unix filesystem 4 You currently have a "character set" configured in your smb.conf. In 5 Samba 3.0, this option is replaced by a new option, "unix charset". 6 Please specify the character set you wish to use for theis new option, 7 which controls how Samba interprets filenames on the file system. 8 . 9 If you leave this option blank, your smb.conf will not be changed. 10 11Template: samba-common/codepage 12Type: string 13_Description: Character Set for DOS clients 14 You currently have a "client code page" set in your smb.conf. In Samba 15 3.0, this option is replaced by the option "dos charset". Please specify 16 the character set you wish to use for this new option. In most cases, the 17 default chosen for you will be sufficient. Note that this option is not 18 needed to support Windows clients, it is only for DOS clients. If you 19 leave this option blank, your smb.conf will not be changed. 20 21Template: samba-common/dhcp 22Type: boolean 23Default: false 24_Description: Modify smb.conf to use WINS settings from DHCP? 25 If your computer gets IP address information from a DHCP server on the 26 network, the DHCP server may also provide information about WINS servers 27 ("NetBIOS name servers") present on the network. This requires a 28 change to your smb.conf file so that DHCP-provided WINS settings will 29 automatically be read from /etc/samba/dhcp.conf. 30 . 31 You must have the dhcp3-client package installed to take advantage of this 32 feature. 33 34Template: samba-common/do_debconf 35Type: boolean 36Default: true 37_Description: Configure smb.conf through debconf? 38 The rest of the configuration of Samba deals with questions that affect 39 parameters in /etc/samba/smb.conf, which is the file used to configure the 40 Samba programs (nmbd and smbd.) Your current smb.conf contains an 41 'include' line or an option that spans multiple lines, which could confuse 42 debconf and require you to edit your smb.conf by hand to get it working 43 again. 44 . 45 If you don't use debconf to configure smb.conf, you will have to handle 46 any configuration changes yourself, and will not be able to take 47 advantage of periodic configuration enhancements. Therefore, use of 48 debconf is recommended if possible. 49 50Template: samba-common/workgroup 51Type: string 52_Description: Workgroup/Domain Name? 53 This controls what workgroup your server will appear to be in when queried 54 by clients. Note that this parameter also controls the Domain name used 55 with the security=domain setting. 56 57Template: samba-common/encrypt_passwords 58Type: boolean 59Default: true 60_Description: Use password encryption? 61 Recent Windows clients communicate with SMB servers using encrypted 62 passwords. If you want to use clear text passwords you will need to change 63 a parameter in your Windows registry. It is recommended that you use 64 encrypted passwords. If you do, make sure you have a valid 65 /etc/samba/smbpasswd file and that you set passwords in there for each 66 user using the smbpasswd command. 67
