      read bmpx (G)
             This boolean parameter controls whether s�sm�mb�bd�d(8) will support the
             "Read Block Multiplex" SMB. This is now rarely used and defaults
             to n�no�o. You should never need to set this parameter.
             Default: _�r_�e_�a_�d _�b_�m_�p_�x = no


      read list (S)
             This  is  a  list  of users that are given read-only access to a
             service. If the connecting user is in this list then  they  will
             not  be  given write access, no matter what the _�r_�e_�a_�d _�o_�n_�l_�y option
             is set to. The list can include group  names  using  the  syntax
             described in the  _�i_�n_�v_�a_�l_�i_�d _�u_�s_�e_�r_�s parameter.
             Default: _�r_�e_�a_�d _�l_�i_�s_�t =
             Example: _�r_�e_�a_�d _�l_�i_�s_�t = mary, @students


      read only (S)
             An inverted synonym is _�w_�r_�i_�t_�e_�a_�b_�l_�e.
             If this parameter is y�ye�es�s, then users of a service may not create
             or modify files in the service's directory.
             Note that a printable service  (p�pr�ri�in�nt�ta�ab�bl�le�e  =�=  y�ye�es�s)  will  A�AL�LW�WA�AY�YS�S
             allow writing to the directory (user privileges permitting), but
             only via spooling operations.
             Default: _�r_�e_�a_�d _�o_�n_�l_�y = yes


      read raw (G)
             This parameter controls whether or not the server  will  support
             the raw read SMB requests when transferring data to clients.
             If  enabled, raw reads allow reads of 65535 bytes in one packet.
             This typically provides a major performance benefit.
             However, some clients either negotiate the allowable block  size
             incorrectly  or  are incapable of supporting larger block sizes,
             and for these clients you may need to disable raw reads.
             In general this parameter should be viewed as  a  system  tuning
             tool and left severely alone.
             Default: _�r_�e_�a_�d _�r_�a_�w = yes


      realm (G)
             This  option  specifies  the kerberos realm to use. The realm is
             used as the ADS equivalent of the NT4 d�do�om�ma�ai�in�n. It is usually  set
             to the DNS name of the kerberos server.
             Default: _�r_�e_�a_�l_�m =
             Example: _�r_�e_�a_�l_�m = mysambabox.mycompany.com


      remote announce (G)
             This  option allows you to setup n�nm�mb�bd�d(8)to periodically announce
             itself to arbitrary IP addresses  with  an  arbitrary  workgroup
             name.
             This  is  useful  if  you  want your Samba server to appear in a
             remote workgroup for which the normal browse  propagation  rules
             don't  work.  The  remote workgroup can be anywhere that you can
             send IP packets to.
             For example:
             r�re�em�mo�ot�te�e a�an�nn�no�ou�un�nc�ce�e =�= 1�19�92�2.�.1�16�68�8.�.2�2.�.2�25�55�5/�/S�SE�ER�RV�VE�ER�RS�S 1�19�92�2.�.1�16�68�8.�.4�4.�.2�25�55�5/�/S�ST�TA�AF�FF�F
             the above line would cause n�nm�mb�bd�d to announce itself  to  the  two
             given IP addresses using the given workgroup names. If you leave
             out the workgroup name then  the  one  given  in  the  _�w_�o_�r_�k_�g_�r_�o_�u_�p
             parameter is used instead.
             The  IP  addresses  you  choose  would normally be the broadcast
             addresses of the  remote  networks,  but  can  also  be  the  IP
             addresses of known browse masters if your network config is that
             stable.
             See ???.
             Default: _�r_�e_�m_�o_�t_�e _�a_�n_�n_�o_�u_�n_�c_�e =


      remote browse sync (G)
             This option allows you to setup n�nm�mb�bd�d(8) to periodically  request
             synchronization  of  browse  lists  with the master browser of a
             Samba server that is on a remote segment. This option will allow
             you  to  gain browse lists for multiple workgroups across routed
             networks. This is done in a manner that does not work  with  any
             non-Samba servers.
             This  is  useful  if  you  want  your Samba server and all local
             clients to appear in a remote workgroup  for  which  the  normal
             browse propagation rules don't work. The remote workgroup can be
             anywhere that you can send IP packets to.
             For example:
             r�re�em�mo�ot�te�e b�br�ro�ow�ws�se�e s�sy�yn�nc�c =�= 1�19�92�2.�.1�16�68�8.�.2�2.�.2�25�55�5 1�19�92�2.�.1�16�68�8.�.4�4.�.2�25�55�5
             the above line would cause n�nm�mb�bd�d to request the master browser on
             the  specified  subnets or addresses to synchronize their browse
             lists with the local server.
             The IP addresses you choose  would  normally  be  the  broadcast
             addresses  of  the  remote  networks,  but  can  also  be the IP
             addresses of known browse masters if your network config is that
             stable.  If a machine IP address is given Samba makes NO attempt
             to validate that the remote machine is available, is  listening,
             nor that it is in fact the browse master on its segment.
             Default: _�r_�e_�m_�o_�t_�e _�b_�r_�o_�w_�s_�e _�s_�y_�n_�c =


      restrict anonymous (G)
             The  setting of this parameter determines whether user and group
             list information is returned for an  anonymous  connection.  and
             mirrors the effects of the H�HK�KE�EY�Y_�_L�LO�OC�CA�AL�L_�_M�MA�AC�CH�HI�IN�NE�E\�\S�SY�YS�ST�TE�EM�M\�\C�Cu�ur�rr�re�en�nt�tC�Co�on�n-�-
             t�tr�ro�ol�lS�Se�et�t\�\C�Co�on�nt�tr�ro�ol�l\�\L�LS�SA�A\�\R�Re�es�st�tr�ri�ic�ct�tA�An�no�on�ny�ym�mo�ou�us�s registry  key  in  Windows
             2000 and Windows NT. When set to 0, user and group list informa-
             tion is returned to anyone who asks. When  set  to  1,  only  an
             authenticated  user can retrive user and group list information.
             For the value 2, supported by  Windows  2000/XP  and  Samba,  no
             anonymous  connections  are allowed at all. This can break third
             party and Microsoft applications which expect to be  allowed  to
             perform operations anonymously.
             The  security advantage of using restrict anonymous = 1 is dubi-
             ous, as user and group list information can  be  obtained  using
             other means.


             N�No�ot�te�e
             The  security  advantage  of  using  restrict  anonymous  = 2 is
             removed by setting _�g_�u_�e_�s_�t _�o_�k = yes on any share.
      Default: _�r_�e_�s_�t_�r_�i_�c_�t _�a_�n_�o_�n_�y_�m_�o_�u_�s = 0


      root   This parameter is a synonym for root directory.


      root dir
             This parameter is a synonym for root directory.


      root directory (G)
             The server will c�ch�hr�ro�oo�ot�t(�()�) (i.e. Change  its  root  directory)  to
             this  directory  on  startup. This is not strictly necessary for
             secure operation. Even without it the server will deny access to
             files  not in one of the service entries. It may also check for,
             and deny access to, soft links to other parts of the filesystem,
             or  attempts  to use ".." in file names to access other directo-
             ries (depending on the setting of the _�w_�i_�d_�e _�l_�i_�n_�k_�s parameter).
             Adding a _�r_�o_�o_�t _�d_�i_�r_�e_�c_�t_�o_�r_�y entry other than "/" adds an extra level
             of  security,  but  at  a  price.  It absolutely ensures that no
             access is given to files not in the sub-tree  specified  in  the
             _�r_�o_�o_�t  _�d_�i_�r_�e_�c_�t_�o_�r_�y option, i�in�nc�cl�lu�ud�di�in�ng�g some files needed for complete
             operation of the server. To maintain  full  operability  of  the
             server  you  will need to mirror some system files into the _�r_�o_�o_�t
             _�d_�i_�r_�e_�c_�t_�o_�r_�y  tree.  In  particular  you  will   need   to   mirror
             _�/_�e_�t_�c_�/_�p_�a_�s_�s_�w_�d  (or a subset of it), and any binaries or configura-
             tion files needed for printing (if required). The set  of  files
             that must be mirrored is operating system dependent.
             Default: _�r_�o_�o_�t _�d_�i_�r_�e_�c_�t_�o_�r_�y = /
             Example: _�r_�o_�o_�t _�d_�i_�r_�e_�c_�t_�o_�r_�y = /homes/smb


      root postexec (S)
             This  is the same as the _�p_�o_�s_�t_�e_�x_�e_�c parameter except that the com-
             mand is run as root. This is useful for  unmounting  filesystems
             (such as CDROMs) after a connection is closed.
             Default: _�r_�o_�o_�t _�p_�o_�s_�t_�e_�x_�e_�c =


      root preexec (S)
             This  is  the same as the _�p_�r_�e_�e_�x_�e_�c parameter except that the com-
             mand is run as root. This is  useful  for  mounting  filesystems
             (such as CDROMs) when a connection is opened.
             Default: _�r_�o_�o_�t _�p_�r_�e_�e_�x_�e_�c =


      root preexec close (S)
             This is the same as the _�p_�r_�e_�e_�x_�e_�c _�c_�l_�o_�s_�e  parameter except that the
             command is run as root.
             Default: _�r_�o_�o_�t _�p_�r_�e_�e_�x_�e_�c _�c_�l_�o_�s_�e = no
