If it will help anyone to contact me by IM -- im on AOL IM w8tahham YAHOO IM w8tah Thanks again TIM # 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. # #======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global] realm = MCASCHOOL.NET # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name workgroup = mcaschool # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field server string = Production Web Server # This option is important for security.
