Introduction
The following describes how to use systemd
to manage the Samba Active Directory (AD) domain controller (DC) service. For further details about systemd
, see https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/systemd/.
Creating the systemd
Service File
Samba does not provide a systemd
service file. When you built the Samba Active Directory (AD) domain controller (DC) from the sources, you must manually create the service file to enable systemd
to manage the Samba AD DC service:
- Create the
/etc/systemd/system/samba-ad-dc.service
file with the following content:
[Unit] Description=Samba Active Directory Domain Controller After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/usr/local/samba/sbin/samba -D PIDFile=/usr/local/samba/var/run/samba.pid [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
- For further details, see the
systemd.service(5)
man page.
- Reload the
systemd
configuration:
# systemctl daemon-reload
Managing the Samba AD DC Service
The following assumes that the Samba Active Directory (AD) domain controller (DC) service is managed by the samba-ad-dc
service file. If you have not created the service file manually, see your operating system's documentation for the name of the Samba AD DC service.
Enabling and Disabling the Samba AD DC Service
To enable the Samba Active Directory (AD) domain controller (DC) service to start automatically when the system boots, enter:
# systemctl enable samba-ad-dc
To disable the automatic start of the Samba AD DC service, enter:
# systemctl disable samba-ad-dc
Manually Starting and Stopping the Samba AD DC Service
To manually start the Samba Active Directory (AD) domain controller (DC) service, enter:
# systemctl start samba-ad-dc
To manually stop the Samba AD DC service, enter:
# systemctl stop samba-ad-dc
