Configuration Options

Server to act as a PDC.
• domain logon: Set this parameter to yes to provide netlogon
services.
• passdb backend: You must set this parameter to
ldapsam_compat:ldap://<ldap server name> if you want to use
an old Samba subschema for the LDAP databases. If you attempt to
use the new subschema supported by HP CIFS Server A.02.01, you
must set this parameter to ldapsam:ldap://<ldap server name>.
• WINs support: Set this parameter to yes to confiure an HP CIFS
Server as a WINs server.
