Samba/files

files used by Samba at least on Ubuntu

known config files

• smb.conf: the Samba configuration file
• smbusers: the Samba users file
  • I currently don't know where this is kept.

file structure

• /etc/samba/
  • ...smb.conf: the Samba configuration file
  • ...gdbcommands: very short file, no idea what it does
• /usr/share/samba/: seems to be setup and executable data
  • ...smb.conf: a sample, not actual config
• /run/samba: seems to be runtime data?
