Bug 35176 – A basic samba.conf

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Steven Wagner 2003-12-05 23:18:32 UTC]

The samba.conf.example that is provided with the Samba package is nice and complete, but it would also be nice to have a simple config for when someone wants to get up and going without having to learn all of Samba first.  The existing sample config is 500 lines. Here is what I came up with in my endevour, and found that this is the basic config that many use.

#This is a sample samba.conf for setting up a simplistic shared directory. 

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = MYSAMBA
server string = Powered by Samba
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba.log
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
wins server = 127.0.0.1
wins support = Yes
                                                                                          
[Storage]
path = /mnt/myshare
read only = No
guest ok = Yes

Sorry, no.

How about a compromise of putting this additional sample in the /usr/doc directory.  Ive seen many other gentoo packages that do exactly this for additional sample configuration files for different setups.

i put it in the forums so it will always be able to be found there.
