Description: 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.

Template: samba/log_files_moved
17
Description: 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
23
The old log files that were in /var/log/ will be moved to the new location
26
Template: samba/nmbd_from_inetd
28
Description: 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.

Template: samba/run_mode
36
Choices: daemons, inetd
38
Description: 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.

45
Description: 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
