Using samba package in an OpenBSD environment:
1. Edit ${SYSCONDIR}/samba/smb.conf to suit your needs.
2. Edit ${SYSCONDIR}/rc.conf.local:
...
smbd_flags="-D" # for normal use: "-D"
nmbd_flags="-D" # for normal use: "-D"
...
3. Edit ${SYSCONDIR}/rc.local:
echo -n 'starting local daemons:'
...
if [ -f ${SYSCONDIR}/samba/smb.conf ]; then
if [ X"${smbd_flags}" != X"NO" -a -x /usr/local/libexec/smbd ]; then
echo -n ' smbd'; /usr/local/libexec/smbd ${smbd_flags}
fi
if [ X"${nmbd_flags}" != X"NO" -a -x /usr/local/libexec/nmbd ]; then
echo -n ' nmbd'; /usr/local/libexec/nmbd ${nmbd_flags}
fi
fi
...
echo '.'
Steps 4 and 5 are only necessary if you want to enable swat (Samba
Web Administration Tool). Please note that administering the server
with swat over a network is inadvisable as passwords are passed in
the clear. You can avoid this problem by using ssh forwarding to
port 901.
4. add the following entry to ${SYSCONDIR}/inetd.conf:
...
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/libexec/swat swat
...
5. add the following entry to ${SYSCONDIR}/services:
...
swat 901/tcp # samba admin service
...
Install the samba-docs package and see documentation files in
/usr/local/share/doc/samba and example config files in
/usr/local/share/examples/samba for more information.
