      The new modules system has the following advantages:

      Simple selection between shared and static modules at configure time
      "preload modules" option for increasing performance for stable modules

    Is it true that DHCP uses lots of wide-area network bandwidth? -

    +

    It is a smart practice to localize DHCP servers on each network segment. As a rule, there should be two DHCP servers per network segment. This means that if one server fails, there is always another to service user needs. DHCP requests use only UDP broadcast protocols. It is possible to run a DHCP Relay Agent on network routers. This makes it possible to run fewer DHCP servers. -

    A DHCP network address request and confirmation usually results in about six UDP packets. The packets are from 60 to 568 bytes in length.

    The process that controls the replication of data from the Master LDAP server to the Slave LDAP servers is called slurpd. The slurpd remains nascent (quiet) until an update must be propagated.

    Information presented here is considered to be either basic or well-known material that is informative yet helpful. Over the years, I have observed an interesting behavior.

This is a parameter that mainly affects members of Microsoft Active Directory. Active Directory is heavily oriented around the DNS name space. -

    +

    Where NetBIOS technology uses WINS as well as UDP broadcast as key mechanisms for name resolution, Active Directory servers register their services with the Microsoft Dynamic DNS server. Windows clients must be able to query the correct DNS server to find the services (like which machines are Domain Controllers or which machines have the Netlogon service running). -

    +

    The default setting of the Primary DNS suffix is the Active Directory domain name. When you change the Primary DNS suffix, this does not affect Domain Membership, but it can break network browsing and the ability to resolve your computer name to a valid IP address.

    The Primary DNS suffix parameter principally affects MS Windows clients that are members of an Active Directory domain. Where the client is a member of a Samba Domain, it is preferable to leave this field blank. -

    According to Microsoft documentation, “If this computer belongs to a group with Group Policy enabled on Primary DNS suffice of this computer, the string specified in the Group Policy is used as the primary DNS suffix and you might need to restart your computer to view the correct setting.

    To provide transparent interoperability between Windows clients and the network services that are used from them, Samba has had to develop tools and facilities that deliver that. The benefit of Open Source software is that it can readily be reused. The current ntlm_auth module is basically a wrapper around authentication code from the core of the Samba project. -

    The ntlm_auth module supports basic plain-text authentication and NTLMSSP protocols. This module makes it possible for Web and FTP proxy requests to be authenticated without the user being interrupted via his/her Windows logon credentials. This facility is available with MS Windows explorer and is one of the key benefits claimed for Microsoft Internet Information Server. There are a few open source initiatives to provide support for these protocols in the Apache Web server also. -

    Use and Location of BDCs

    On a network segment where there is a PDC and a BDC, the BDC carries the bulk of the network logon processing. If the BDC is a heavily loaded server, the PDC carries a greater proportion of authentication and logon processing.

This significantly hinders wide-area network operations and is undesirable. -

    Distribute Network Load with MSDFS

    Microsoft DFS (distributed file system) technology has been implemented in Samba. MSDFS permits data to be accessed from a single share and yet to actually be distributed across multiple actual servers. Refer to TOSHARG, Chapter 16, for information regarding implementation of an MSDFS installation. -

    Replicate Data to Conserve Peak-Demand Wide-Area Bandwidth

    Consider using rsync to replicate data across the wide-area network during times of low utilization. Users can then access the replicated data store rather than needing to do so across the wide-area network. This works best for read-only data, but with careful planning can be implemented so that modified files get replicated back to the point of origin. Be careful with your implementation if you choose to permit modification and return replication of the modified file; otherwise, you may inadvertently overwrite important data. -
