samba - Sep 2001 - include =

Do you have an old copy of smbstatus lying around your system?
Does smbstatus work with a simpler set up, say, with no include statements?
Does the directory %L (a real user name) exist? Maybe put quotes around %L.

It looks to me like you are inserting a second  global section into your share
section
with your additional smb.conf files.
BAD
These are included just as if they are lines of text. So, if you have an
include statement in a share, you can't have other share definitions in
them.

Hi Hugo,
don't worry about what testparm says; %L is resolved at connection time,
based on the netbios name that the connection is being attempted on.
Since testparm isn't making a connnection to do it's testing, %L will
not
be expanded.
A real test is to use smbclient -L servername -d3  to verify that the debug
file
shows that it loaded smb.conf.servername...
Hope this helps,
don

I m using the version of testparm that came with samba 2.2.1a.... And
include is all in lower case in my files (outlook seems to like swapping
minuscules with caps when I write emails)

Are you using an old version of testparm?
include should be in lower caps.
