I need to look into this. I could be wrong but I thought I had setup a
symlink between /etc/samba/smb.conf to /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf.
I will review my notes to confirm what I did.
I know that smb.conf IS located at /usr/local/samba/etc/ but, I also
know that I can access it via /etc/samba/smb.conf to make adjustments.
Hum-m-m-m . . .
