Template: samba-common/title Type: title _Description: Samba server and utilities Template: samba-common/dhcp Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Modify smb.conf to use WINS settings from DHCP? If your computer gets IP address information from a DHCP server on the network, the DHCP server may also provide information about WINS servers ("NetBIOS name servers") present on the network. This requires a change to your smb.conf file so that DHCP-provided WINS settings will automatically be read from /etc/samba/dhcp.conf. . The dhcp-client package must be installed to take advantage of this feature. Template: samba-common/do_debconf Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Configure smb.conf automatically? The rest of the configuration of Samba deals with questions that affect parameters in /etc/samba/smb.conf, which is the file used to configure the Samba programs (nmbd and smbd). Your current smb.conf contains an "include" line or an option that spans multiple lines, which could confuse the automated configuration process and require you to edit your smb.conf by hand to get it working again. . If you do not choose this option, you will have to handle any configuration changes yourself, and will not be able to take advantage of periodic configuration enhancements. Template: samba-common/workgroup Type: string Default: WORKGROUP _Description: Workgroup/Domain Name: Please specify the workgroup for this system. This setting controls which workgroup the system will appear in when used as a server, the default workgroup to be used when browsing with various frontends, and the domain name used with the "security=domain" setting.
