Generally, how can I get a dump of a running configuration? What query do I need to run to get a listing of the actual options being used when running, for example when a particular option is not set in smb.conf? Or if it is set in smb.conf, what is the actual setting being used?

I'm new to samba. I'm using 4.5.16-Debian at home to make available a drive in a linux machine to two users on a Win7 machine. Read-only. No concurrent access. Low-throughput, no streaming etc. That's it. No other sharing of any kind, no write-permission of any kind, etc. My application seems to require 1% of the capabilities of samba. Samba is overkill. What other software

For clarity, let me repeat: I am no longer pursuing this issue.

I guess I wasn't clear enough, so here it is at more length: I am no longer pursuing this issue, and will not be posting to this thread again, unless of course I stumble upon a solution sometime in the future, in which case I will.

New to samba. Win7 machine cleanly shut down on home network, umount still reports "target is busy". What needs tweaking? With the Win7 machine shutdown, umount succeeds (seemingly only) after restarting smbd, for example: systemctl restart smbd Samba version 4.5.16-Debian Samba is installed standalone, (from /etc/samba/smb.conf: server role = standalone server )

In case it isn't clear, this is not a question of how to read smb.conf.

Please stop replying to this thread, Rowland. You don't understand the question.
