|

| 42 | is the server daemon that provides Active Directory, filesharing and printing services to clients\&. The server provides filespace and directory services to clients using the SMB (or CIFS) protocol and other related protocols such as DCE/RPC, LDAP and Kerberos\&.
|
|---|
| 43 | .PP
|
|---|
| 44 | Clients supported include MSCLIENT 3\&.0 for DOS, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000/XP/2003, OS/2, DAVE for Macintosh, and cifsfs for Linux\&.
|
|---|
| 45 | .PP
|
|---|
| 46 | An extensive description of the services that the server can provide is given in the man page for the configuration file controlling the attributes of those services (see
|
|---|
| 47 | \fBsmb.conf\fR(5)\&. This man page will not describe the services, but will concentrate on the administrative aspects of running the server\&.
|
|---|
| 48 | .PP

| 49 | Please note that there are significant security implications to running this server, and the
|
|---|
| 50 | \fBsmb.conf\fR(5)

| 55 | .RS 4
|
|---|
| 56 | If specified, this parameter causes the server to operate as a daemon\&. That is, it detaches itself and runs in the background, fielding requests on the appropriate ports\&. Operating the server as a daemon is the recommended way of running
|
|---|
| 57 | samba
|
|---|
| 58 | for servers that provide more than casual use file and print services\&. This switch is assumed if
|
|---|
| 59 | samba

| 65 | If this parameter is specified it causes the server to run "interactively", not as a daemon, even if the server is executed on the command line of a shell\&. Setting this parameter negates the implicit daemon mode when run from the command line\&.

|

| 143 | .PP
|

| 144 | The number and nature of diagnostics available depends on the debug level used by the server\&. If you have problems, set the debug level to 3 and peruse the log files\&.
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 146 | Most messages are reasonably self\-explanatory\&. Unfortunately, at the time this man page was created, there are too many diagnostics available in the source code to warrant describing each and every diagnostic\&. At this stage your best bet is still to grep the source code and inspect the conditions that gave rise to the diagnostics you are seeing\&.
