hi!
i had a few questions about samba to which I couldn’t find answers anywhere.
*in smb.conf, what exactly do the [home] and [printers] sections do?
*for a basic file server in a workgroup, is there any other file to modify than the smb.conf?
*do i have to set samba to run upon system boot manually or is it done automatically when samba is installed?
thanks!
What do you think they do? :doh: One shares user’s home directory, the other shares printers respectively.
If you are doing domain services, you wil also have to configure winbind. Otherwise, smb.conf is it for file & print sharing.
This is actually a BSD question, not a Samba question. See here: Starting Services One of the great things about FreeBSD is it’s documentation; it’d be silly not to make good use of it.
