Which of the following is a routine maintenance task for a Samba server?

Reviewing log files for errors and unusual activity

Disabling the Samba service during off-peak hours

Recompiling the Samba source code weekly

Deleting all user accounts monthly

Which task is part of regular Samba maintenance to ensure continued reliability?

Changing the Samba port number every month

Increasing the debug level to 10 permanently

Backing up the smb.conf file and user database

Before performing a major Samba version upgrade, an administrator wants to create a full backup of the server's Samba state. The server uses the 'tdbsam' passdb backend and has a custom smb.conf. What is the most comprehensive backup approach?

Copy the entire /etc/samba directory and the /var/lib/samba directory.

Run 'pdbedit -L' and save the output to a file.

Use 'testparm -v' and save the output to a file.

Copy only the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.

An administrator is troubleshooting a Samba issue and needs to see detailed information about the SMB negotiation and session setup for a specific client connection. The default log level is too low to capture this. What should the administrator do to get this information without affecting other clients?

Set 'log level = 3' globally in smb.conf and restart smbd.

Use 'tcpdump' to capture the traffic and analyze it with Wireshark.

Use the 'log level' parameter with a per-client mask, such as 'log level = 3 IP=192.168.1.100'.

Run 'smbstatus -v' to see the verbose connection details.
