Configuring and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services (August 2002)

Chapter 7
Samba for MPE/iX Services
Samba for MPE/iX Configuration File Options
85
The syntax of the username map file is simple. Each line consists of a MPE/iX-style name
like manager.sys and a list of possible PC style username like webuser, separated by an
equal sign. A sample username map in the user.map file is defined as follows.
Example: manager.sys = webuser
Network Interface Configuration
interfaces The interfaces option allows you to inform Samba for MPE/iX of each interface to which you
want it to provide services, by supplying IP address and subnet mask of your HP e3000
system.
Example: interfaces = 192.1.2.3/255.255.0
Setting the Maximum SMB Packet Size
max xmit The max xmit parameter allows you to set the maximum packet size which Samba for
MPE/iX can negotiate with a client. This is the maximum packet size that SMBD will accept
from a client, setting an upper limit on the packet size that will be negotiated with a client
at session setup.
Example: max xmit = 8000
Default: max xmit = 65535
Disconnecting Idle Clients Option
dead time An inactive client will consume server resources even though it is not doing anything. The
deadtime parameter defines an integer value describing the number of minutes of inactivity
before a session is automatically disconnected. The “deadtime” is considered to begin when
a client has no open files. The default “deadtime” of zero indicates that no client should ever
be dropped because of inactivity.
Example: 5 (in minutes)
Default: 0 (in minutes)
Setting Logging Behavior
max log size The max log size option specifies the maximum size in kilobytes to which log files can grow.
The default value of the maximum log file size is 5000 in kilobytes. If the file exceeds the
specified size, it is renamed by adding the .old extension.
Example: max log size = 10000 (in kilobytes)
Default: 5000 (in kilobytes)
log file The log file parameter allows you to specify the pathname of log file used by SMBD and
NMBD processes.
Example: log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.smb
debug level The debug level parameter allows the debug logging level to be specified in the Samba for
MPE/iX configuration file. This option defines the level of trace messages that you want to
log into the logfile.
The typical range of the debug level can be from 0 to 5. Large values cause more detailed
information to be logged. Most of these debug levels exist to help users to debug the server
activity.
Example: debug level = 3
