VFS_XATTR_TDB(1M) System Administration tools VFS_XATTR_TDB(1M)NAMEvfs_xattr_tdb - Save Extended Attributes (EAs) in a tdb file
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = xattr_tdb
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The vfs_xattr_tdb VFS module stores Extended Attributes (EAs) in a tdb
file. This enables the usage of Extended Attributes on OS and
filesystems which do not support Extended Attributes by themselves.
This module is stackable.
OPTIONS
xattr_tdb:file = PATH
Name of the tdb file the EAs are stored in. If this option is not
set, the default filename xattr.tdb is used.
AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.

Samba(7) delivers the set of four SMF(5) services as can be seen from
the following example:
$ svcs samba wins winbind swat
STATE STIME FMRI
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/samba:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/winbind:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/wins:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/swat:default
where the services are:
"samba"
runs the smbd daemon managing the CIFS sessions
"wins"
runs the nmbd daemon enabling the browsing (WINS)
"winbind"
runs the winbindd daemon making the domain idmap
"swat"
Samba Web Administration Tool is a service providing access to
browser-based Samba administration interface and on-line
documentation. The service runs on software loopback network
interface on port 901/tcp, i.e. opening "http://localhost:901/" in
browser will access the SWAT service on local machine.
Please note: SWAT uses HTTP Basic Authentication scheme where user name
and passwords are sent over the network in clear text. In the SWAT case
the user name is root. Transferring such sensitive data is advisable
only on the software loopback network interface or over secure
networks.
