FW: include =

[Hugo Levasseur]

Thanks Don,

This actually helped some.  Now, although I ve set the debugging level
to 3 and I m trying to use smbclient to verify smb.conf.%L is loaded...
It seems authentification fails:

This is what I m trying to do (maybe samba just can t do this).

To use both DOMAIN and USER level "security =" for the [HOMES] share.
(Don’t ask me why please ;) )...

This is how I think it would be possible:

To create one main smb.conf file in which there is an "include =
smb.conf.%L" statement in the [global] section. Like this:

[global]
Workgroup = DOMAIN
Netbios name = MACHINE
Netbios aliases = MACHINE1
Include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%L
Log file = /some/log/file
Socket options = tcp_nodelay
Dns proxy = no
Local master = no

Then I created two files, one called smb.conf.MACHINE another called
smb.conf.MACHINE1

The first one is setup like this:
[global]
Security = DOMAIN
Password server = DC
Encrypt passwords = yes
[homes]
Comment = blah
Browseable = no
Writeable = yes

The other looks like this
[global]
Security = user
[homes]
Comment = blah
Browseable = no
Writeable = yes

This is how I ve seen it on major web sites and in books where this is
explained.

Do you guys have any idea of why this may not be working?

Hi Hugo,
don't worry about what testparm says; %L is resolved at connection time,
based on the netbios name that the connection is being attempted on.
Since testparm isn't making a connnection to do it's testing, %L will
not be expanded. A real test is to use smbclient -L servername -d3  to
verify that the debug file shows that it loaded smb.conf.servername...
Hope this helps, don

I m using the version of testparm that came with samba 2.2.1a.... And
include is all in lower case in my files (outlook seems to like swapping
minuscules with caps when I write emails)

Are you using an old version of testparm?
include should be in lower caps.
