Configuration File Options
This section lists each option that can be used in a Samba
configuration file, which is usually named smb.conf. Most
configuration files contain a global section of options that
apply to all services (shares) and separate sections for vari-
ous individual shares. If an option applies only to the global
section,
[global] appears to the right of its name in the fol-
lowing reference section.
Except where noted, when specifying elements of a list, the
elements can be separated by spaces, tabs, commas, semico-
lons, escaped newlines, or escaped carriage returns.
Following this reference section is a glossary of value types,
and a list of variables Samba recognizes.
