#SAMBA SERVER INSTALL#

You can use the winbindd daemon for resolving user accounts information from native Windows servers.įirst, install the winbind package.

The winbindd gets the user and group information from Windows.

This daemon uses port 137 to listen for requests.

The nmbd daemon handles NetBIOS name service requests.

This daemon uses port 139 or 445 to listen for requests.

The smbd daemon is the main service for the sharing of files and printers.

The samba server composed of several components and daemons the three main daemons are smbd, nmbd, and winbindd.

Custom script: you can create scripts for maintaining logins and passwords this can be done using a cross-platform scripting language like Python.

Samba as a DC: you maintain usernames and passwords on the Linux system, and users can log in to Windows boxes with Samba.

Linux pluggable authentication modules ( PAMs): there are two user lists, one local list and one on the domain controller (DC), and users need to maintain their passwords only on the Windows system.

So, it’s the system administrator’s job to maintain the logins between different platforms. Linux login system is different from the Windows login system. To understand Linux/Samba/Windows relationship, you need to understand the relationships of the operating systems, users, and networks.
