Samba for MPE/iX Services
Samba for MPE/iX Configuration File Options
Name Resolve Order
In Samba version 2.0.7 for MPE/iX, the name resolve order has been
made user selectable. The resolution can be done in several different
ways: broadcast, lmhosts, DNS lookup, WINS.
name resolve order The order in which the names need to
be resolved can be specified as shown:
Example: name resolve order = lmhosts bcast
The samp-lmhosts file is provided in
/usr/local/samba/lib directory.
samp-lmhosts file looks like:
12.34.56.78 mpexl/cup.hp.com
Default: lmhosts host WINS bcast
Global Printer Service Options
The global printer service options allows you to specify the location of
the “printcap,” printer command parameter used by Samba for
MPE/iX.
The following global printer configuration options are supported for use
by HP:
load printers The load printers parameter is used in
conjunction with printcap file and
[printers] section. It is a boolean
variable that controls whether all
printers in the “printcap” file will be
loaded for browsing.
If the load printers parameter is set to
true, all printers defined in the
printcap file will be loaded for browsing
by default.
Example: load printers = yes
Default: load printer = no
printcap name The printcap name option specifies the
location of the printcap. Samba for
MPE/iX uses the printcap to
determine all printers available on the
system if the general
[printers] service
is used instead of defining each printer
in its own service.
Example:
printcap name =
/usr/local/samba/lib/printcap
