How is Samba instructed to read its entire configuration from the registry?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Configuration Backend: Samba can be configured to read its settings from various backends, including the Windows registry.

Setting the Backend:

Adding config backend = registry in the [global] section of smb.conf instructs Samba to use the registry for its configuration.

Implementation Steps:

Open the smb.conf file.

Add the line config backend = registry under the [global] section.

Restart the Samba services to apply the changes.

Haha, I bet the developers were having a field day with these options. 'Let's see how many weird ways we can configure Samba!'

E? Really? A symlink to a .reg file? That sounds like a hack, not a proper solution.

I'm not sure, but I think option A) By starting all Samba processes with the option --regconf could also work. What do you guys think?

D is the way to go! Replacing that binary database with a plain text registry file is the way to go for easy configuration.

True, but creating a symbolic link from smb.conf to the .reg file could also work well.

Option B makes the most sense to me. Samba should have a configuration backend setting to use the registry instead of the default config file.
