Matthias,
Sorry I should have wrote more details.
I agree with your message and I understand that template12 is not meant to
be a share.
What I tried to say is:
when I have this configuration:
[template12]
writable = yes
browsable = yes
valid users = alex
[alex]
path = /home/alex
copy = template12
I can see this error in /var/log/samba/log/smbd
[2016/04/25 16:44:14.719192, 0]
../lib/param/loadparm.c:966(lpcfg_service_ok)
WARNING: No path in service template12 - making it unavailable!
And I'm unable to access "alex".
But if I don't use "copy", then it works correctly:
[alex]
path = /home/alex
valid users = alex

The specified service is simply duplicated under the current service's name. Any parameters specified in the current section will override those in the section being copied. This feature lets you set up a 'template' service and create similar services easily. Note that the service being copied must occur earlier in the configuration file than the service doing the copying. Default: copy Example: copy = otherservice Now, the relevant part (as far as I can tell) is this: This parameter allows you to "clone" service entries. To be a 'service' (aka share), it needs to have a path statement, which is probably why you are getting: WARNING: No path in service template12 - making it unavailable! Try adding a path to your template, perhaps 'path = /dev/null' , this will be over written by your later use of 'copy' Rowland
Thank you for your message. I was not sure if the example (from here https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch06.html) was incorrect or if I was missing something.
