1.2. Verifying the smb.conf file by using the testparm utility


The testparm utility verifies that the Samba configuration in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file is correct. The utility detects invalid parameters and values, but also incorrect settings, such as for ID mapping. If testparm reports no problem, the Samba services will successfully load the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. Note that testparm cannot verify that the configured services will be available or work as expected.

重要

Red Hat recommends that you verify the /etc/samba/smb.conf file by using testparm after each modification of this file.

Prerequisites

  • You installed Samba.
  • The /etc/samba/smb.conf file exists.

Procedure

  1. Run the testparm utility as the root user:

    # testparm
    Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
    rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
    Unknown parameter encountered: "log level"
    Processing section "[example_share]"
    Loaded services file OK.
    ERROR: The idmap range for the domain * (tdb) overlaps with the range of DOMAIN (ad)!
    
    Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_MEMBER
    
    Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions
    
    # Global parameters
    [global]
    	...
    
    [example_share]
    	...

    The previous example output reports a non-existent parameter and an incorrect ID mapping configuration.

  2. If testparm reports incorrect parameters, values, or other errors in the configuration, fix the problem and run the utility again.
