smb.conf notes

• Options are assigned with option = value
• Whitespace are significant, and will be preserved in strings. However, when an option takes a list, whitespace will signify a list item (as will a ,)
• Case is not significant except when dealing with a system path, where it must match the expected case of the Operating System.
• Samba has many variables that can be used. For example, instead of logging all data to one file, you may use a variable in the logfile name to use a seperate log file per user, host, etc. The following variables are available in your smb.conf

  %a	Architecture (Samba, WinNT, etc)
  %I	Client IP Address
  %m	Client NetBIOS name
  %M	Client DNS name
  %u	Connected Users unix username
  %U	Requested Client Username
  %g	Primary group of connected user
  %G	Primary group of user %U
  %H	Currently connected user's home directory
  %P	Current Share's root directory
  %S	Current Share name
  %h	Samba Server DNS Hostname
  %L	Samba Server NetBIOS name
  %v	Samba Version
  %T	Current date and time
