I would trust 'include' over 'config file' since
the former option gets more use.

level 10 debug logs look for lp_file_list_changed().

|   lp_file_list_changed()
|   file /etc/samba/smb.conf -> /etc/samba/smb.conf

smb.conf variable get expanded at run time.  If the config
file doesn't exist , it gets ignored.  The problem here is
that smbd checks the config file on startup and it does not
exist.  Since the original smb.conf is never changed,  the
file is never reparsed.

So retest with the 'include' directive and look at the
logs again.  That should be more helpful.







cheers, jerry
