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 . . .
