Samba Simple Management shares (SOLVED)

#1 Post by rmcellig »

I am using SSM to set up file sharing on my computer. I'm using Puppy Linux 5.2.8. It seems I can only set up one share. How do I set up more than one share? If I go to /etc/samba/smb.conf, add a share and save it, if I open the file again, the share I just added isn't there. How can I add more shares?

Thanks!!

Code: Select all

#this is a very simple smb.conf to get you started
#coutesy rcrsn51 and gcmartin
[global]
	workgroup = Workgroup
	netbios name = hp-pav-dv6
	server string = Puppy Samba Server
	security = user
	map to guest = Bad Password
	printing = cups
	printcap name = cups
	load printers = yes
	

[mcran1]
	path = /mnt/sda4
	writable = yes
	
[home]
	path = /mnt/home
	writable = yes

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	browseable = no
	guest ok = yes
	writable = no
	printable = yes

:idea: Did you bother to stop the service before trying to add that share?
