_Description: Create samba password database, /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb?
5
5
To be compatible with the defaults in most versions of Windows, Samba must
6
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.

Starting with the first packages of Samba 2.2 for Debian the log files for

names of the files are log.nmbd and log.smbd, for nmbd and smbd

The old log files that were in /var/log/ will be moved to the new location

Your system was previously configured to start nmbd and smbd from inetd.

As of version 2.999+3.0.alpha20-4, nmbd will no longer be started from

inetd. If you have modified your /etc/init.d/samba startup script, you

may need to adjust it by hand now so that nmbd will start.

Samba 3.0 introduces a newer, more complete SAM database interface which

supersedes the /etc/samba/smbpasswd file. Would you like your existing

smbpasswd file to be migrated to /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb for you? If you

plan to use another pdb backend (e.g., LDAP) instead, you should answer
