Starting and Stopping Winbind
This section describes how to start or stop the HP CIFS Server with winbind support.
Starting Winbind
Use the startsmb -winbind or startsmb -w command to start the winbind daemon on the HP CIFS
server as follows:
$ startsmb -winbind
or
$ startsmb -w
The startsmb command without specifying any option will start both smbd and nmbd daemons only.
Stopping Winbind
Use the stopsmb -winbind or stopsmb -w command to stop the winbind daemon on the HP CIFS server
as follows:
$ stopsmb -winbind
or
$ stopsmb -w
The stopsmb command without specifying any option will stop both smbd and nmbd daemons only.
NOTE: Use the scripts startwinbind and stopwinbind to start or stop the winbind daemon only.
For example, use the following command to start the winbind daemon only:
$ startwinbind
Automatically Starting Winbind at System Startup
The RUN_WINBIND parameter can be specified in /etc/rc.config.d/samba to control whether the
winbind daemon, winbindd, will start at system startup.
To configure winbind to start automatically at system startup, set RUN_WINBIND to 1.
Winbind Supports Non-blocking, Asynchronous Functionality
For HP CIFS Server A.02.03 or later, winbind supports an almost completely non-blocking, asynchronous
request/reply implementation (with the exception of user and group enumeration). With this new enhancement,
winbind provides better scalability in large domain environments and on high latency networks.
Winbind uses the blocking, synchronous behavior when enumerating users and groups. Set both winbind
enum users and winbind enum groups to No, to force winbind to suppress the enumeration of
users/groups. The default settings of these two parameters are No.
