A company wants to replace its aging NT4-style domain controller with Samba. The new Samba server must authenticate users, provide logon scripts, and enforce domain policies. Which Samba configuration is most appropriate for this role?

security = user, passdb backend = tdbsam, and enable the 'domain logons' option.

security = domain, workgroup = OLD-DOMAIN, and set `domain master = yes`.

security = ads, realm = EXAMPLE.COM, and join the domain as a member.

security = server, password server = old-pdc, and use `smbpasswd` for user accounts.

In smb.conf, what is the purpose of a section header like [global] or [myshare]?

It enables or disables Samba services at boot

It marks the beginning of a configuration section that applies to the whole server or a specific share

It specifies a log file for Samba

It defines a new Samba daemon to be started

What is the role of Samba when configured as a domain member?

It replicates the domain database to other domain controllers

It acts as a standalone server with no domain participation

It acts as a DNS server for the domain

It provides file/print services while relying on a domain controller for authentication

How can Samba integrate with LDAP for user authentication?

By translating LDAP queries into SMB protocol messages

By using LDAP to resolve NetBIOS names

By using LDAP as a passdb backend

By requiring LDAP for all file sharing
