Thanks for the offer to check out the Unraid SMB configuration files.
As requested, any values in <>s have been replaced with tokens rather the real values.
Contents of  /etc/samba/smb.conf (it is indented like that in the file)
[global]        # configurable identification        include = /etc/samba/smb-names.conf
        # log stuff only to syslog        logging = syslog at 0

Contents of /boot/config/smb-extra.conf (looks like any "extra configuration" from the Unraid Settings page just gets dumped in here, you can see the lines I added here):
[global]idmap config * : backend = tdbidmap config * : range = 1000-4000000000#unassigned_devices_start#Unassigned devices share includes   include = /tmp/unassigned.devices/smb-settings.conf#unassigned_devices_end
The file /tmp/unassigned.devices/smb-settings.conf is empty.

Contents of /etc/samba/smb-shares.conf is just a list of Unraid shares that are exposed over SMB, for example;
[LanCache]        path = /mnt/user/LanCache        comment = Cache for downloads from Steam, Origin, Epic, Frontier, Microsoft etc.        browseable = yes        case sensitive = auto        preserve case = yes        short preserve case = yes        writeable = yes[MySQL]        path = /mnt/user/MySQL        comment = MySQL Database Backups        browseable = yes        case sensitive = auto        preserve case = yes        short preserve case = yes        writeable = yesetc...
