+<h1 class="head0">Appendix B. Samba Configuration Option Quick Reference</h1>
+
+
+<p>The first section of this appendix lists each option that can be used
+in a Samba configuration file, which is usually named
+<em class="filename">smb.conf</em>. Most configuration files contain a
+global section of options that apply to all services (shares) and a
+separate section for various individual shares. If an option applies
+only to the global section, <tt class="literal">[global]</tt> appears to
+the right of its name in the following reference section.</p>
+
+<p>Except where noted, when specifying elements of a list, the elements
+can be separated by spaces, tabs, commas, semicolons, escaped
+newlines, or escaped carriage returns.</p>
+
+<p>Following this reference section is a glossary of value types, and a
+list of variables Samba recognizes.</p>
