Just do what is asked, post the smb.conf as on disk, seeing the 
smb.conf? with ALL the defaults is NOT going to help!

Hoping some can help me with this. Rowland misthinks it. I'm looking for a
commandline way to extract the config variables that are actually being used in
a running instance. For example if I run testparm, it claims to offer a dump of
"service definitions" in the smb.conf. But it is not complete when
compared to smb.conf. Moreover, I can just read the smb.conf to get those. 
I'd like to see the config extracted from a running instance, not from the
smb.conf file.

No I don't, but if you really want to see your entire smb.conf (which 
will not help you), run 'testparm -v -s'

Then do what I asked you to do, post your smb.conf as on disk.
