I am using 1.9.18p10 under Solaris 2.5.1 One thing I have discovered - not mentioned in documentation or John Blair's book - if you specify a parameter multiple times, only the last definition is used. This is a very useful feature. For example: # site default shared mem size = 204800 # pick up machine specific parameters: include = /LOCAL/samba/smb.global.%h Then in say smb.global.cedar : # we need extra shared memory shared mem size = 409600 Now is this intended? Is it still true in 2.0.X? Is it documented? BTW this is based on simple experiments - so do let me know if untrue or random. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Peter Polkinghorne, Computer Centre, Brunel University, Uxbridge, UB8 3PH,| | Peter.Polkinghorne@brunel.ac.uk +44 1895 274000 x2561 UK | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
