File Syntax

Within each section of the lanman.ini file, parameters are listed as follows:

• The name of each parameter is at the beginning of a line, followed by an equal sign and the value assigned to it: parameter=value.

• Comments start with a semicolon (;). If a semicolon precedes a parameter on the line, that parameter is ignored.

• When a list of values is assigned to a parameter, the values are separated by commas: parameter=value,value,value, ... (There are some exceptions to this rule, which are noted in the description of the appropriate parameters.)

• When a value consists of a path, the path may be absolute, starting with a forward slash (/). If a path does not start with /, it is assumed to be relative to the lanman directory.

• If a numeric value begins with 0 (the numeral), it is octal; if it begins with an "X," it is hexadecimal; if it begins with a numeral from 1 to 9, it is decimal.

• When a parameter has no assigned value (nothing to the right of the equal sign), the value is 0 for a parameter that requires a number and null for a parameter that requires a character string.

• A null value is not valid for all parameters.

How to Change a lanman.ini File Parameter

1. Use the srvconfig command to display default settings for the server parameters:

   /opt/lanman/sbin/srvconfig -p | more

2. Edit the lanman.ini file using vi or a similar text editor.

   The file is in the /etc/opt/lanman directory. You may have to add a section heading to the file; for example [ lmxserver ]. You then need to add a parameter=value pair to the appropriate section of the lanman.ini file. (See the section, "About lanman.ini File Entries".)

3. Stop and restart the server for the new values to take effect.
