Thanks everyone for the help, in the mailing list and through e-mail,
To make sure I get the basic covered... is there a reason why
"testparm -s" skips some lines from smb.conf?
==================
# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
[homes]
guest ok = no
read only = no
==================
# testparm -s
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: rlimit_max (1024) below minimum Windows limit (16384)
Processing section "[homes]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
[global]
[homes]
read only = No
==================
>P.S.: try to respond to the list, or you'll lose potential help :)
It's because e-mail is immediate, while posts show in Gmane's NTTP
servers after a good 15mn wait :-)
