samba-common.templates   [plain text]

Template: samba-common/character_set
Type: string
_Description: Character Set for Unix filesystem
 You currently have a "character set" configured in your smb.conf.  In
 Samba 3.0, this option is replaced by a new option, "unix charset".
 Please specify the character set you wish to use for theis new option,
 which controls how Samba interprets filenames on the file system.
 .
 If you leave this option blank, your smb.conf will not be changed.

Template: samba-common/codepage
Type: string
_Description: Character Set for DOS clients
 You currently have a "client code page" set in your smb.conf.  In Samba
 3.0, this option is replaced by the option "dos charset".  Please specify
 the character set you wish to use for this new option.  In most cases, the
 default chosen for you will be sufficient.  Note that this option is not
 needed to support Windows clients, it is only for DOS clients.  If you
 leave this option blank, your smb.conf will not be changed.

Template: samba-common/dhcp
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Modify smb.conf to use WINS settings from DHCP?
 If your computer gets IP address information from a DHCP server on the
 network, the DHCP server may also provide information about WINS servers
 ("NetBIOS name servers") present on the network.  This requires a
 change to your smb.conf file so that DHCP-provided WINS settings will
 automatically be read from /etc/samba/dhcp.conf.
 .
 You must have the dhcp3-client package installed to take advantage of this
 feature.

Template: samba-common/do_debconf
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Configure smb.conf through debconf?
 The rest of the configuration of Samba deals with questions that affect
 parameters in /etc/samba/smb.conf, which is the file used to configure the
 Samba programs (nmbd and smbd.) Your current smb.conf contains an
 'include' line or an option that spans multiple lines, which could confuse
 debconf and require you to edit your smb.conf by hand to get it working
 again.
 .
 If you don't use debconf to configure smb.conf, you will have to handle
 any configuration changes yourself, and will not be able to take
 advantage of periodic configuration enhancements.  Therefore, use of
 debconf is recommended if possible.

Template: samba-common/workgroup
Type: string
_Description: Workgroup/Domain Name?
 This controls what workgroup your server will appear to be in when queried
 by clients. Note that this parameter also controls the Domain name used
 with the security=domain setting.

Template: samba-common/encrypt_passwords
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Use password encryption?
 Recent Windows clients communicate with SMB servers using encrypted
 passwords. If you want to use clear text passwords you will need to change
 a parameter in your Windows registry. It is recommended that you use
 encrypted passwords. If you do, make sure you have a valid
 /etc/samba/smbpasswd file and that you set passwords in there for each
 user using the smbpasswd command.
