<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>

printer name, share name, port name, driver name, Windows NT/2000/XP

as the <tt class="literal">root</tt> user. The command will be passed the
name of the Samba configuration file, the name of the share to be
created, the full pathname of a directory on the Samba server (which
must already exist), and a string to use as a comment for the share,
in that order. The command must add a share definition for the share

a primary domain controller on a different system. The command should
accept the name of the user as a single argument that matches the
