Hello,
I run samba 3.6 and I need to track problems for dedicated users.
So I thought, I load at the end via include special configurations for
the user separately.
My question is, how does the smbd configure itself. Does smbd
1) reads the config completely and then it set the parameters in the process or
2) does smbd reads and set each parameter instantly?
So can I use the following example?
Example:
/etc/samba/smb.conf
======================================================[global]
.
.
vfs objects = extd_audit
debug uid = yes
debug pid = yes
debug class = yes
log level = 0 vfs:2
syslog = 0
max log size = 1024
log file = /var/log/smbduserlogs/%U.log
include = /etc/samba/debug/smb.conf.%U
[share1]
path = /data/users/%U
writeable = yes
browseable = no
.
.
[share2]
.
.
[share-n]
.
.
include = /etc/samba/debug/smb.conf.priv.%U
======================================================
Example config for a dedicated user
/etc/samba/debug/smb.conf.priv.smith
======================================================[global]
vfs objects = extd_audit full_audit
log level = 6 auth:10 passdb:10 vfs:3
max log size = 102400
[share1]
path = /data/users/%U
writeable = yes
browseable = no
.
.
full_audit:prefix = %u|%I|%m|%s
full_audit:success = open read pwrite unlink mkdir rmdir rename
full_audit:success = all
full_audit:failure = all
full_audit:facility = LOCAL7
full_audit:priority = ALERT
======================================================
Thanks for help!!

At least you create 2 included smb.confs, one is inserted at the global section and the other is at "share1" section. --- TAKAHASHI Motonobu <monyo at monyo.com> / @damemonyo facebook.com/takahashi.motonobu

"That statement does say nothing, HOW the smbd reads/process the smb.conf and configure the internal variables. - INSTANTLY after reading each config value or - completely reading the config and set all internal variables AFTER this> So your example is wrong.I'm not sure if I'm really wrong! After several investigation, reading manual, howto and googling around, I found following statement: "Sections can be started multiple times, and parameters for one section accumulate over all mentions of that section. Parameters may specified multiple times for one section as well. The last mention of one parameter overrides earlier occurences." from Michael Adam. (https://www.samba.org/~obnox/presentations/linux-kongress-2008/lk2008-obnox.pdf) But I'm not sure, if it will set after reading the complete configuration file. All other would make no sense ... So can someone clarify this? Till now, I've nothing found about this in the (official) documentation. Thanks Meike

With this, you can created different smb.conf files and start the main smb.conf with: [global] config file = /etc/samba/debug/smb.conf.priv.%U .......... If the file exists it will be used when the user connects, otherwise it will be ignored and the rest of the smb.conf used. Rowland
