Ok,  but "samba-tool testparam" doesn't say anything unless it finds a
problem.

barbel:~ # samba-tool testparm
Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions

 
# Global parameters
[global]
	server role = domain controller
	workgroup = BACKBONE
	realm = MICORE.US
	netbios name = BARBEL
	passdb backend = samba4
	posix:eadb = /opt/s4/private/eadb.tdb

[netlogon]
	path = /opt/s4/var/locks/sysvol/micore.us/scripts
	read only = No

[sysvol]
	path = /opt/s4/var/locks/sysvol
	read only = No

[tmp]
	path = /tmp
	read only = No

It isn't nearly as informative as old-school testparm.
