Stand-alone Servers are independent of Domain Controllers on the network.
3
3
They are not Domain Members and function more like workgroup servers. In many
4
4
cases a Stand-alone Server is configured with a minimum of security control
5
5
with the intent that all data served will be readily accessible to all users.

Stand-alone Servers can be as secure or as insecure as needs dictate. They can
8

have simple or complex configurations. Above all, despite the hoopla about
9
9
Domain Security they remain a common installation.

(<tt class="filename">/etc/passwd</tt> or <tt class="filename">/etc/shadow</tt>), may use a

for authentication.

Configuration of a read-only data server that everyone can access is very simple.

<a href="StandAloneServer.html#simplynice" title="Example�7.1.�smb.conf for Reference Documentation Server">Following example</a> is the <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt> file that will do this. Assume that all the reference documents

nobody. No home directories are shared, and there are no users in the <tt class="filename">/etc/passwd</tt>

In <a href="StandAloneServer.html#simplynice" title="Example�7.1.�smb.conf for Reference Documentation Server">the example</a> above, the machine name is set to GANDALF, the workgroup is set to the name
80

of the local workgroup (MIDEARTH) so the machine will appear together with systems with
81
81
which users are familiar. The only password backend required is the “<span class="quote"><span class="emphasis"><em>guest</em></span></span>” backend to allow default

82
unprivileged account names to be used. As there is a WINS server on this network, we of obviously make use of it.

On CUPS-enabled systems there is a facility to pass raw data directly to the printer without
155
155
intermediate processing via CUPS print filters. Where use of this mode of operation is desired,
156
156
it is necessary to configure a raw printing device. It is also necessary to enable the raw mime
157
157
handler in the <tt class="filename">/etc/mime.conv</tt> and <tt class="filename">/etc/mime.types</tt>
158
files. Refer to <a href="CUPS-printing.html#cups-raw" title="Explicitly Enable raw Printing for application/octet-stream">Explicitly Enable “<span class="quote"><span class="emphasis"><em>raw</em></span></span>” Printing for

The greatest mistake so often made is to make a network configuration too complex.

It pays to use the simplest solution that will meet the needs of the moment.
