Configuring the Samba Service

The Samba services can be customized to run with a variety of different options and additional shares can be created by editing the /usr/local/etc/smb.conf file as the superuser on a Freedom 400x or above. Customizing your Samba configuration is beyond the scope of this guide, but information can be found at the official Samba Web site at the following URL:

http://www.samba.org/

Additional information can be found in the man pages for smbd and smb.conf.

Support Boundary:

Our Technical Support team will assist in ensuring that the Samba service is working as outlined in this documentation. They cannot assist with client-side configuration of your Windows PC.

Customers with root-enabled Freedom server products are welcome to modify the configuration of their Samba services, but no technical assistance will be provided in doing so. Additionally, customers who modify their /usr/local/etc/smb.conf file from the default configuration assume responsibility for all Samba-related issues.
