Change location of smb.conf

[Jeff Pleau_2]

Hi folks,

Where is the default location of the smb.conf file set? I have recently removed the Samba that came with HP-UX 11i and installed Samba 2.2.3a (domain problems), but it still looks for all the conf files, locks, secrets, in the location where the old samba install was.

Any help is appreciated
Jeff

Should be in
/etc/opt/samba

Sorry, my question may have not been clear - I want to know how to change where it looks for the files - I know where it is looking now, but want it to look at a different directory for the config files, etc.

Thanks
Jeff

Take a look at this document.

Hi,

"/etc/rc.config.d/samba"
is the file that system checks whether to start samba services or not at the time of booting.

Hi,
1. Edit the /etc/rc.config.d/samba file.

2. Change the last line of the file to: RUN_SAMBA=0.

3. Save the file.

Hi,

The location of smb.conf is determined at compile time. If you want to set it to another dir, you will either have to recompile the software yourself (use ./configure --help to find out which configure parameter is used to set the configuration file location) OR you could link /etc/opt/samba to your dir of choice.

HTH.
