==ea support==
ea support (S)
This boolean parameter controls whether s�sm�mb�bd�d(8) will allow
clients to attempt to store OS/2 style Extended attributes on a
share. In order to enable this parameter the underlying filesys-
tem exported by the share must support extended attributes (such
as provided on XFS and EXT3 on Linux, with the correct kernel
patches). On Linux the filesystem must have been mounted with
the mount option user_xattr in order for extended attributes to
work, also extended attributes must be compiled into the Linux
kernel.

Default: _�e_�a _�s_�u_�p_�p_�o_�r_�t = no

==enable rid algorithm==
enable rid algorithm (G)
This option is used to control whether or not smbd in Samba 3.0
should fallback to the algorithm used by Samba 2.2 to generate
user and group RIDs. The longterm development goal is to remove
the algorithmic mappings of RIDs altogether, but this has proved
to be difficult. This parameter is mainly provided so that
developers can turn the algorithm on and off and see what
breaks. This parameter should not be disabled by non-developers
because certain features in Samba will fail to work without it.

Default: _�e_�n_�a_�b_�l_�e _�r_�i_�d _�a_�l_�g_�o_�r_�i_�t_�h_�m = yes

==encrypt passwords==
encrypt passwords (G)
This boolean controls whether encrypted passwords will be nego-
tiated with the client. Note that Windows NT 4.0 SP3 and above
and also Windows 98 will by default expect encrypted passwords
unless a registry entry is changed. To use encrypted passwords
in Samba see the chapter "User Database" in the Samba HOWTO Col-
lection.

MS Windows clients that expect Microsoft encrypted passwords and
that do not have plain text password support enabled will be
able to connect only to a Samba server that has encypted pass-
word support enabled and for which the user accounts have a
valid encrypted password. Refer to the smbpasswd command man
page for information regarding the creation of encrypted pass-
words for user accounts.

The use of plain text passwords is NOT advised as support for
this feature is no longer maintained in Microsoft Windows prod-
ucts. If you want to use plain text passwords you must set this
parameter to no.

In order for encrypted passwords to work correctly s�sm�mb�bd�d(8) must
either have access to a local s�sm�mb�bp�pa�as�ss�sw�wd�d(5) file (see the s�sm�mb�b-�-
p�pa�as�ss�sw�wd�d(8) program for information on how to set up and maintain
this file), or set the security = [server|domain|ads] parameter
which causes s�sm�mb�bd�d to authenticate against another server.

Default: _�e_�n_�c_�r_�y_�p_�t _�p_�a_�s_�s_�w_�o_�r_�d_�s = yes

==enhanced browsing==
enhanced browsing (G)
This option enables a couple of enhancements to cross-subnet
browse propagation that have been added in Samba but which are
not standard in Microsoft implementations.

The first enhancement to browse propagation consists of a regu-
lar wildcard query to a Samba WINS server for all Domain Master
Browsers, followed by a browse synchronization with each of the
returned DMBs. The second enhancement consists of a regular ran-
domised browse synchronization with all currently known DMBs.

You may wish to disable this option if you have a problem with
empty workgroups not disappearing from browse lists. Due to the
restrictions of the browse protocols these enhancements can
cause a empty workgroup to stay around forever which can be
annoying.

In general you should leave this option enabled as it makes
cross-subnet browse propagation much more reliable.

Default: _�e_�n_�h_�a_�n_�c_�e_�d _�b_�r_�o_�w_�s_�i_�n_�g = yes

==enumports command==
enumports command (G)
The concept of a "port" is fairly foreign to UNIX hosts. Under
Windows NT/2000 print servers, a port is associated with a port
monitor and generally takes the form of a local port (i.e.
LPT1:, COM1:, FILE:) or a remote port (i.e. LPD Port Monitor,
etc...). By default, Samba has only one port defined--"�"S�Sa�am�mb�ba�a
P�Pr�ri�in�nt�te�er�r P�Po�or�rt�t"�". Under Windows NT/2000, all printers must have a
valid port name. If you wish to have a list of ports displayed
(s�sm�mb�bd�d does not use a port name for anything) other than the
default "�"S�Sa�am�mb�ba�a P�Pr�ri�in�nt�te�er�r P�Po�or�rt�t"�", you can define _�e_�n_�u_�m_�p_�o_�r_�t_�s _�c_�o_�m_�m_�a_�n_�d
to point to a program which should generate a list of ports, one
per line, to standard output. This listing will then be used in
response to the level 1 and 2 EnumPorts() RPC.

Default: _�e_�n_�u_�m_�p_�o_�r_�t_�s _�c_�o_�m_�m_�a_�n_�d =

Example: _�e_�n_�u_�m_�p_�o_�r_�t_�s _�c_�o_�m_�m_�a_�n_�d = /usr/bin/listports
