[Samba] CentOS 6.5 + Samba 4.1.6 - Variable Substitution (smb.conf)

[Pascal Blétard]

yes, i agree

For administration from a Windows desktop, i use your second proposal.

But i would propose the ability to manage from CentOS directly.
I'll use "prexec", but the problem is that i cant pass the username in argument to my script, because the variable's substitute seems doesnt working.
