A Samba administrator needs to troubleshoot a slow file transfer issue. The administrator wants to see detailed information about SMB operations without affecting other users. What is the most appropriate way to configure logging?

Use 'testparm -v' to verify the current SMB protocol settings.

Run 'smbstatus -v' to view detailed connection information.

Set 'log level = 2' globally in smb.conf and restart Samba.

Set 'log level = 5 smb' in smb.conf and restart Samba.

A Samba server is behind a firewall that only allows traffic on port 445. Windows clients can connect to the server using \\192.168.1.10\share, but they cannot browse the network neighborhood to find the server. The administrator wants to maintain the current firewall policy. What should the administrator do?

Configure the Windows clients to use DNS for name resolution and access shares by hostname.

Set 'wins support = yes' on the Samba server to provide NetBIOS name resolution.

Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on the Windows clients to allow browsing.

Configure the Samba server to listen on port 445 only and disable NetBIOS entirely.

A Samba server is configured with 'wins support = yes' and is the WINS server for the network. A Windows client can connect to the server by IP but not by NetBIOS name. The administrator runs 'nmblookup -S server' from the Samba server and gets the correct IP address. What should the administrator check next?

Whether the Samba server's firewall allows NetBIOS traffic on port 137.

Whether the 'server string' parameter is set correctly.

Whether the Samba server's 'netbios name' parameter matches the name the client is using.

Whether the Windows client is configured to use the Samba server as its WINS server.
