Could someone perhaps post an incredibly simple smb.conf file that would offer that kind of functionality? I did look at the wiki, but all of the articles under <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_as_a_File_Server> (which seems like the article that is closest to my needs initially) assume that this kind of functionality already exists; whereas I don't have (even) that yet.> ... > As for interoperability between 2.2.5 and 4.2.0 - it is not likely to > work.

I'm not trying to interoperate between v2 and v4. I was just making an observation before in my original post. Thanks. -Kevin

That was exactly what I was looking for. Now at least I'm able to share files. Now I can do some fine tuning. Much appreciated! -Kevin
