hi Lol, thanks for the docs. I'll read them. If possible I'd like to add this into the default samba config file that's shipped with sonar. Is this a good idea? I've gotten some responses that say it's not a good idea to have a default samba config and then I've gotten some that say it is. I'm not sure which way to go but I'd like to have one that will work with most setups. I need to take a day off to cram on samba, honestly. I think I'll do that tomorrow.

hi I've got another question, actually. I've copied my samba configuration to my mac book pro, which runs the same linux distro, sonar 16.07. However, when I try to connect to the same windows computer, samba returns with a "connection refused" error. Is there some sort of limitation in windows or am I just doing something wrong? I've made sure to unmount the share when I'm done with it, but I can only connect to blackfang, the windows computer from the desktop. Any other computer I try errors out. I'm confused.
