SAMBACONFIG(8)

NAME
sambaconfig - configure Samba for Debian systems

SYNOPSIS
sambaconfig [--run-from-inetd|--run-as-daemons] [--no-reload]

DESCRIPTION
sambaconfig is used to simplify the configuration of samba(8) for use on Debian systems.

You may run this program to (re)configure samba for your Debian system at any time.

Normally sambaconfig will ask if you want to reload the Samba daemons after making changes to its configuration. The --no-reload option will avoid this question. Note that if Samba is running from inetd and --no-reload is not supplied no questions is asked because Samba will start automatically from inetd when there is traffic on the NetBIOS ports.

FILES

/etc/inetd.conf
    If the lines that start the NetBIOS daemons nmbd and smbd are commented out then Samba will start as daemons from /etc/init.d/start

/etc/init.d/samba
    Script that will start/stop/restart Samba when running as daemons

/etc/samba/smbpasswd
    Encrypted passwords file for the Samba daemons

/etc/samba/debian_config
    Debian specific configuration information, it holds the mode in which Samba is running (from inetd or as daemons).
