Hello everyone, Good morning/afternoon/evening. Got a question regarding a FREEBSD 12 being used as a proxy (SQUID) with SAMBA410. Do I have to keep SMBD and NMBD services enabled with WINBIND to act as a an Active Directory "CLIENT ONLY" (for Squid proxy purposes) or, can I disable SMBD and NMBD and keep WINBIND only? I am asking because I made a test killing both processes and keeping Winbind only and everything still working fine. As the machine as already part of the Domain, I am not sure those services are required during the "joining" process. This was the best description I could find --> https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/appc.html SMBD = File Sharing and Printing (also authentication) NMBD -= NetBios services Winbindd - Groups and Users Thanks !! Cordially, Fabricio.

'smbd' == fileserver binary 'nmbd' == network browsing binary 'winbindd' == authentication binary You really only need 'nmbd' if you need network browsing (implies using SMBv1) If you are running Samba as a fileserver, you need 'smbd' & 'winbindd' If you are just using Samba for authentication, then you only need 'winbindd' Rowland
Thanks Rowland! Knowing that, I am changing my startup file to raise Winbind only (authentication). Awesome! Much appreciated!!!
