4 | Information presented here is considered to be either basic or well-known material that is informative

5 | yet helpful. Over the years, I have observed an interesting behavior. There is an expectation that

---|
6 | the process for joining a Windows client to a Samba-controlled Windows domain may somehow involve steps
|
---|
7 | different from doing so with Windows NT4 or a Windows ADS domain. Be assured that the steps are identical,

|
---|
56 | panel in which you can set (or change) the Primary DNS suffix of the computer. This is a parameter that mainly affects members
|
---|
57 | of Microsoft Active Directory. Active Directory is heavily oriented around the DNS namespace.

|

60 | <a class="indexterm" name="id2621736"></a>
|
---|
61 | Where NetBIOS technology uses WINS as well as UDP broadcast as key mechanisms for name resolution, Active Directory servers
|
---|
62 | register their services with the Microsoft Dynamic DNS server. Windows clients must be able to query the correct DNS server
|
---|
63 | to find the services (like which machines are domain controllers or which machines have the Netlogon service running).

64 | </p><p>
|
---|
65 | <a class="indexterm" name="id2621755"></a>
|
---|
66 | The default setting of the Primary DNS suffix is the Active Directory domain name. When you change the Primary DNS suffix,
|
---|
67 | this does not affect domain membership, but it can break network browsing and the ability to resolve your computer name to
|
---|
68 | a valid IP address.
|
---|
69 | </p><p>
|
---|
70 | The Primary DNS suffix parameter principally affects MS Windows clients that are members of an Active Directory domain.
|
---|
71 | Where the client is a member of a Samba domain, it is preferable to leave this field blank.

79 | One of the frustrations expressed by subscribers to the Samba mailing lists revolves around the choice of where the default Samba Team
|
---|
80 | build and installation process locates its Samba files. The location, chosen in the early 1990s, for the default installation is
|
---|
81 | in the <code class="filename">/usr/local/samba</code> directory. This is a perfectly reasonable location, particularly given all the other
|
---|
82 | Open Source software that installs into the <code class="filename">/usr/local</code> subdirectories.
|
---|
83 | </p><p>
|
---|
84 | Several UNIX vendors, and Linux vendors in particular, elected to locate the Samba files in a location other than the Samba Team
|
---|
85 | default.

87 | Linux vendors, working in conjunction with the Free Standards Group (FSG), Linux Standards Base (LSB), and File Hierarchy
|
---|
88 | System (FHS), have elected to locate the configuration files under the <code class="filename">/etc/samba</code> directory, common binary
|
---|
89 | files (those used by users) in the <code class="filename">/usr/bin</code> directory, and the administrative files (daemons) in the
|
---|
90 | <code class="filename">/usr/sbin</code> directory. Support files for the Samba Web Admin Tool (SWAT) are located under the
|
---|
91 | <code class="filename">/usr/share</code> directory, either in <code class="filename">/usr/share/samba/swat</code> or in
|
---|
92 | <code class="filename">/usr/share/swat</code>. There are additional support files for <code class="literal">smbd</code> in the
|
---|
93 | <code class="filename">/usr/lib/samba</code> directory tree. The files located there include the dynamically loadable modules for the
|
---|
94 | passdb backend as well as for the VFS modules.

96 | Samba creates runtime control files and generates log files. The runtime control files (tdb and dat files) are stored in
|
---|
97 | the <code class="filename">/var/lib/samba</code> directory. Log files are created in <code class="filename">/var/log/samba.</code>
|
---|
98 | </p><p>
|
---|
99 | When Samba is built and installed using the default Samba Team process, all files are located under the
|
---|
100 | <code class="filename">/usr/local/samba</code> directory tree. This makes it simple to find the files that Samba owns.
|
---|
101 | </p><p><a class="indexterm" name="id2622123"></a>
|
---|
102 | One way to find the Samba files that are installed on your UNIX/Linux system is to search for the location
|
---|
103 | of all files called <code class="literal">smbd</code>. Here is an example:
|
---|
104 | </p><pre class="screen">
|
---|
105 | <code class="prompt">root# </code> find / -name smbd -print
|
---|
106 | </pre><p>
|
---|
107 | You can find the location of the configuration files by running:
|
---|
108 | </p><pre class="screen">
|
---|
109 | <code class="prompt">root# </code> /path-to-binary-file/smbd -b | more
|
---|
110 | ...
|
---|
111 | Paths:
|
---|
112 | SBINDIR: /usr/sbin
|
---|
113 | BINDIR: /usr/bin
|
---|
114 | SWATDIR: /usr/share/samba/swat
|
---|
115 | CONFIGFILE: /etc/samba/smb.conf
|
---|
116 | LOGFILEBASE: /var/log/samba
|
---|
117 | LMHOSTSFILE: /etc/samba/lmhosts
|
---|
118 | LIBDIR: /usr/lib/samba

119 | SHLIBEXT: so

|
---|
123 | PRIVATE_DIR: /etc/samba
|
---|
124 | ...
|
---|
125 | </pre><p>
|
---|
126 | If you wish to locate the Samba version, just run:
|
---|
127 | </p><pre class="screen">
|
---|
128 | <code class="prompt">root# </code> /path-to-binary-file/smbd -V

132 | Many people have been caught by installation of Samba using the default Samba Team process when it was already installed

149 | Samba essentially consists of two or three daemons. A daemon is a UNIX application that runs in the background and provides services.
|
---|
150 | An example of a service is the Apache Web server for which the daemon is called <code class="literal">httpd</code>. In the case of Samba, there
|
---|
151 | are three daemons, two of which are needed as a minimum.
|
---|
152 | </p><p>
|
---|
153 | The Samba server is made up of the following daemons:

356 | The first step to get the LDAP server ready for action is to create the LDIF file from

357 | which the LDAP database will be preloaded. This is necessary to create the containers

---|
358 | into which the user, group, and other accounts are written. It is also necessary to
|
---|
359 | preload the well-known Windows NT Domain Groups, as they must have the correct SID so
|
---|
360 | that they can be recognized as special NT Groups by the MS Windows clients.

470 | Your LDAP database is ready for testing. You can now start the LDAP server
|

471 | using the system tool for your Linux operating system. For SUSE Linux, you can

472 | do this as follows:

473 | </p><pre class="screen">

716 | The LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is an application suite that has been written in PHP.
|
---|
717 | LAM can be used with any Web server that has PHP4 support. It connects to the LDAP
|
---|
718 | server either using unencrypted connections or via SSL/TLS. LAM can be used to manage
|
---|
719 | Posix accounts as well as SambaSAMAccounts for users, groups, and Windows machines
|
---|
720 | (hosts).
|
---|
721 | </p><p>
|
---|
722 | LAM is available from the <a class="ulink" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/lam/" target="_top">LAM</a>
|
---|
723 | home page and from its mirror sites. LAM has been released under the GNU GPL version 2.
|
---|
724 | The current version of LAM is 0.4.9. Release of version 0.5 is expected in the third quarter
|
---|
725 | of 2005.

746 | an SSL connection to your Web server for all remote operations involving LAM. If you
|

747 | want secure connections, you must configure your Apache Web server to permit connections
|

748 | to LAM using only SSL.

806 | It is important that your LDAP server is running at the time that LAM is
|
---|
807 | being configured. This permits you to validate correct operation.
|

808 | An example of the LAM login screen is provided in <a class="link" href="appendix.html#lam-login" title="Figure 15.6. The LDAP Account Manager Login Screen">“The LDAP Account Manager Login Screen”</a>.

811 | The LAM configuration editor has a number of options that must be managed correctly.
|
---|
812 | An example of use of the LAM configuration editor is shown in <a class="link" href="appendix.html#lam-config" title="Figure 15.7. The LDAP Account Manager Configuration Screen">“The LDAP Account Manager Configuration Screen”</a>.
|
---|
813 | It is important that you correctly set the minimum and maximum UID/GID values that are
|
---|
814 | permitted for use at your site. The default values may not be compatible with a need to
|
---|
815 | modify initial default account values for well-known Windows network users and groups.
|
---|
816 | The best work-around is to temporarily set the minimum values to zero (0) to permit
|
---|
817 | the initial settings to be made. Do not forget to reset these to sensible values before
|
---|
818 | using LAM to add additional users and groups.

821 | LAM has some nice, but unusual features. For example, one unexpected feature in most application
|
---|
822 | screens permits the generation of a PDF file that lists configuration information. This is a well
|
---|
823 | thought out facility. This option has been edited out of the following screen shots to conserve

827 | When you log onto LAM the opening screen drops you right into the user manager as shown in
|
---|
828 | <a class="link" href="appendix.html#lam-user" title="Figure 15.8. The LDAP Account Manager User Edit Screen">“The LDAP Account Manager User Edit Screen”</a>. This is a logical action as it permits the most-needed facility
|
---|
829 | to be used immediately. The editing of an existing user, as with the addition of a new user,
|
---|
830 | is easy to follow and very clear in both layout and intent. It is a simple matter to edit
|
---|
831 | generic settings, UNIX specific parameters, and then Samba account requirements. Each step
|
---|
832 | involves clicking a button that intuitively drives you through the process. When you have
|
---|
833 | finished editing simply press the <span class="guimenu">Final</span> button.

|
---|
845 | One aspect of LAM that may annoy some users is the way it forces certain conventions on
|
---|
846 | the administrator. For example, LAM does not permit the creation of Windows user and group
|
---|
847 | accounts that contain spaces even though the underlying UNIX/Linux
|
---|
848 | operating system may exhibit no problems with them. Given the propensity for using upper-case
|
---|
849 | characters and spaces (particularly in the default Windows account names) this may cause
|
---|
850 | some annoyance. For the rest, LAM is a very useful administrative tool.
|
---|
851 | </p><p>
|
---|
852 | The next major release, LAM 0.5, will have fewer restrictions and support the latest Samba features
|
---|
853 | (e.g., logon hours). The new plugin-based architecture also allows management of much more different
|
---|
854 | account types like plain UNIX accounts. The upload can now handle groups and hosts, too. Another
|
---|
855 | important point is the tree view which allows browsing and editing LDAP objects directly.

888 | web-based management interface for UNIX and Linux systems.

|
---|
890 | The Samba toolset is the first console developped for IMC. It offers a simple and ergonomic

891 | interface for managing a Samba domain controler. The goal is to give Linux administrators who
|
---|

893 | experience. An IMC screenshot of the user management tool is shown in <a class="link" href="appendix.html#imcidealx" title="Figure 15.12. The IMC Samba User Account Screen">“The IMC Samba User Account Screen”</a>.

|
---|
901 | The setting of the SUID/SGID bits on the file or directory permissions flag has particular
|
---|
902 | consequences. If the file is executable and the SUID bit is set, it executes with the privilege
|
---|
903 | of (with the UID of) the owner of the file. For example, if you are logged onto a system as
|
---|
904 | a normal user (let's say as the user <code class="constant">bobj</code>), and you execute a file that is owned
|
---|
905 | by the user <code class="constant">root</code> (uid = 0), and the file has the SUID bit set, then the file is
|
---|
906 | executed as if you had logged in as the user <code class="constant">root</code> and then executed the file.
|
---|
907 | The SUID bit effectively gives you (as <code class="constant">bobj</code>) administrative privilege for the
|
---|
908 | use of that executable file.
|
---|
909 | </p><p>
|
---|
910 | The setting of the SGID bit does precisely the same as the effect of the SUID bit, except that it
|
---|
911 | applies the privilege to the UNIX group setting. In other words, the file executes with the force
|
---|
912 | of capability of the group.
|
---|
913 | </p><p>
|
---|
914 | When the SUID/SGID permissions are set on a directory, all files that are created within that directory
|
---|
915 | are automatically given the ownership of the SUID user and the SGID group, as per the ownership
|
---|
916 | of the directory in which the file is created. This means that the system level <code class="literal">create()</code>
|
---|
917 | function executes with the SUID user and/or SGID group of the directory in which the file is
|
---|
918 | created.
|
---|
919 | </p><p>
|
---|
920 | If you want to obtain the SUID behavior, simply execute the following command:
|
---|
921 | </p><pre class="screen">
|
---|
922 | <code class="prompt">root# </code> chmod u+s file-or-directory
|
---|
923 | </pre><p>
|
---|
924 | To set the SGID properties on a file or a directory, execute this command:
|
---|
925 | </p><pre class="screen">
|
---|
926 | <code class="prompt">root# </code> chmod g+s file-or-directory
|
---|
927 | </pre><p>
|
---|
928 | And to set both SUID and SGID properties, execute the following:
|
---|
929 | </p><pre class="screen">
|
---|
930 | <code class="prompt">root# </code> chmod ug+s file-or-directory
|
---|
931 | </pre><p>
|
---|
932 | </p><p>
|
---|
933 | Let's consider the example of a directory <code class="filename">/data/accounts</code>. The permissions on this
|
---|
934 | directory before setting both SUID and SGID on this directory are:
|
---|
935 | </p><pre class="screen">
|
---|
936 | <code class="prompt">root# </code> ls -al /data/accounts
|
---|
937 | total 1
|
---|
938 | drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 232 Dec 18 17:08 .
|
---|
939 | drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 600 Dec 17 23:15 ..
|
---|
940 | drwxrwxrwx 2 bobj Domain Users 48 Dec 18 17:08 accounts/
|
---|
941 | drwx------ 2 root root 48 Jan 26 2002 lost+found
|
---|
942 | </pre><p>
|
---|
943 | In this example, if the user <code class="constant">maryv</code> creates a file, it is owned by her.
|
---|
944 | If <code class="constant">maryv</code> has the primary group of <code class="constant">Accounts</code>, the file is
|
---|
945 | owned by the group <code class="constant">Accounts</code>, as shown in this listing:
|
---|
946 | </p><pre class="screen">
|
---|
947 | <code class="prompt">root# </code> ls -al /data/accounts/maryvfile.txt

|
---|
949 | </pre><p>
|
---|
950 | </p><p>
|
---|
951 | Now you set the SUID and SGID and check the result as follows:
|
---|
952 | </p><pre class="screen">
|
---|
953 | <code class="prompt">root# </code> chmod ug+s /data/accounts

Set network path to Default database folder: <code class="filename">\\server\share\folder</code>.

|
---|
995 | <span class="guimenu">Apply</span><span class="guimenu">Ok</span>. At this point, you should exit MS Access, restart

998 | Where the server sharing the ACT! database(s) is running Samba,or Windows NT, 200x, or XP, you
|
---|
999 | must disable opportunistic locking on the server and all workstations. Failure to do so
|
---|
1000 | results in data corruption. This information is available from the Act! Web site

1006 | These documents clearly state that opportunistic locking must be disabled on both
|
---|
1007 | the server (Samba in the case we are interested in here), as well as on every workstation
|
---|
1008 | from which the centrally shared Act! database will be accessed. Act! provides
|
---|
1009 | a tool called <code class="literal">Act!Diag</code> that may be used to disable all workstation
|
---|
1010 | registry settings that may otherwise interfere with the operation of Act!
|

1014 | Third-party Windows applications may not be compatible with the use of opportunistic file

1018 | Oplocks enable a Windows client to cache parts of a file that are being
|
---|
1019 | edited. Another windows client may then request to open the file with the
|
---|
1020 | ability to write to it. The server will then ask the original workstation
|
---|
1021 | that had the file open with a write lock to release its lock. Before
|
---|
1022 | doing so, that workstation must flush the file from cache memory to the
|
---|
1023 | disk or network drive.

|
---|
1025 | Disabling of Oplocks usage may require server and client changes.
|
---|
1026 | Oplocks may be disabled by file, by file pattern, on the share, or on the
|
---|
1027 | Samba server.
