[Samba] Virtual servers - multiple sambas

[Slawek W]

hi!

here are some lines from my conf files. i have two files for 
testing:
smb.conf and smb.conf.qaz .
it works.
if user connects using samba server name 'S-SAMBA' gets only 
[test2] share. when he use alias name 'qaz' , gets [test1] and 
[test2].

you should run 'testparm' in the directroy where smb.conf is, or 
you should type full path to the file.

e.g., in my configuration:

#testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf



smb.conf   file
----------------
;
;
[globals]
workgroup = S-TEST
netbios name = S-SAMBA
netbios aliases = qaz
include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%L
 ; allows to include alternative smb.conf file for speciffied 
alias name


[test2]
comment = test2 share
path = /export/samba/test2
volume = test2
;
;



smb.conf.qaz   file
-------------------------
;
[test1]
comment = test1 share
path = /export/samba/test1
volume = test1
;
;
;



good luck!
