Hi fellow Samba admin, Variable substitution with "include =" doesn't seem to work. For example in my smb.conf file I have: [global] include = /opt/samba/lib/smb.conf.global.%h When I run testparm I get this: Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf Can't find include file /opt/samba/lib/smb.conf.global. The "%h" gets replace by nothing instead of the hostname. Why. I am using Samba 1.9.18p2 on Solaris 2.5.1 Thank you in advance for your time. -- ===================================================Gaetan Boudreau, ing/P.Eng.
