Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: smb.conf ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - ctdb - 2:4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: ctdb from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | clustered database to store temporary data | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - ldb-tools - 2:2.11.0+samba4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: ldb-tools from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | LDAP-like embedded database - tools | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - libldb-dev - 2:2.11.0+samba4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libldb-dev from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | LDAP-like embedded database - development files | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - libldb2 - 2:2.11.0+samba4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libldb2 from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | LDAP-like embedded database - shared library | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - libnss-winbind - 2:4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libnss-winbind from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Samba nameservice integration plugins | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - libpam-winbind - 2:4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libpam-winbind from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Windows domain authentication integration plugin | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - libsmbclient-dev - 2:4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libsmbclient-dev from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | development files for libsmbclient | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - libsmbclient0 - 2:4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libsmbclient0 from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | shared library for communication with SMB/CIFS servers | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - libtalloc-dev - 2:2.4.3+samba4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libtalloc-dev from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | hierarchical pool based memory allocator - development files | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - libtalloc2 - 2:2.4.3+samba4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libtalloc2 from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | hierarchical pool based memory allocator | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - libtdb-dev - 2:1.4.13+samba4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libtdb-dev from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Trivial Database - development files | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - libtdb1 - 2:1.4.13+samba4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libtdb1 from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Trivial Database - shared library | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - libtevent-dev - 2:0.16.2+samba4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libtevent-dev from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | talloc-based event loop library - development files | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - libtevent0t64 - 2:0.16.2+samba4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libtevent0t64 from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | talloc-based event loop library - shared library | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - libwbclient-dev - 2:4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libwbclient-dev from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Samba winbind client library - development files | https://www.samba.org - Debian apt - libwbclient0 - 2:4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libwbclient0 from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Samba winbind client library | https://www.samba.org ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
