1Template: samba/generate_smbpasswd 2Type: boolean 3Default: false 4Description: Create samba password database, /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb? 5 To be compatible with the defaults in most versions of Windows, Samba must 6 be configured to use encrypted passwords. This requires user passwords to 7 be stored in a file separate from /etc/passwd. This file can be created 8 automatically, but the passwords must be added manually (by you or the 9 user) by running smbpasswd, and you must arrange to keep it up-to-date in 10 the future. If you do not create it, you will have to reconfigure samba 11 (and probably your client machines) to use plaintext passwords. See 12 /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/ENCRYPTION.html from the samba-doc 13 package for more details. 14 15Template: samba/log_files_moved 16Type: note 17Description: Samba's log files have moved. 18 Starting with the first packages of Samba 2.2 for Debian the log files for 19 both Samba daemons (nmbd and smbd) are now stored in /var/log/samba/. The 20 names of the files are log.nmbd and log.smbd, for nmbd and smbd 21 respectively. 22 . 23 The old log files that were in /var/log/ will be moved to the new location 24 for you. 25 26Template: samba/nmbd_from_inetd 27Type: note 28Description: Running nmbd from inetd is no longer supported 29 Your system was previously configured to start nmbd and smbd from inetd. 30 As of version 2.999+3.0.alpha20-4, nmbd will no longer be started from 31 inetd. If you have modified your /etc/init.d/samba startup script, you 32 may need to adjust it by hand now so that nmbd will start. 33 34Template: samba/run_mode 35Type: select 36Choices: daemons, inetd 37Default: daemons 38Description: How do you want to run Samba? 39 The Samba daemon smbd can run as a normal daemon or from inetd. Running as 40 a daemon is the recommended approach. 41 42Template: samba/tdbsam 43Type: boolean 44Default: false 45Description: Move /etc/samba/smbpasswd to /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb? 46 Samba 3.0 introduces a newer, more complete SAM database interface which 47 supersedes the /etc/samba/smbpasswd file. Would you like your existing 48 smbpasswd file to be migrated to /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb for you? If you 49 plan to use another pdb backend (e.g., LDAP) instead, you should answer 50 'no' here. 51
