[Samba]smb.conf and Environment Variables

[Sanjiv Bawa]

Sure.

I want to set the DOMAIN for example from an evironment variable. Normally
this makes no sense, but I have to setup multiple servers all with different
domain names etc. and the domain name is used in a bunch of other places.
Instead of changing a bunch of files, I would like to do it in one place.
Ideally I would like to do

DOMAIN = $DOM

Thanks.

Can you give us an example of WHAT environment variables you mean?  Usually
you create the smb.conf file one time, and it tends to not need editing
that much (if ever).

...or were you referring to the logon script batch file that is executed at
the windows client when they log on? (very different from the smb.conf
file!)
