100 Deploying Samba on IBM Eserver BladeCenter

Sample smb.conf with comments

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the

# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed

# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too

# many!) most of which are not shown in this example

# # Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)

# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #

# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you

# may wish to enable #

# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"

# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors. #

workgroup = LINUX

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field

server string = Samba Server on Red Hat Linux

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict

# connections to machines which are on your local network. The

# following example restricts access to two C class networks and

# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see

# the smb.conf man page

; hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.

# if you want to automatically load your printer list rather

# than setting them up individually then you'll need this

printcap name = /etc/printcap

load printers = yes

# It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless
