Hello all,
I have been looking over and over for the answer to the following question and all I have found is people trying to skirt the issue by saying that if you can't change the parameter in the GUI then you should not be changing it.
I completely disagree with this point of view. I have used samba for well over 12 years and using the config to make changes is the way I prefer to go about most things. Just because the bulk of people might prefer the GUI does not mean that someone does not want to try something new out and play with parameters not available in the GUI.
I am trying to run some experiments in my test lab and every time I bounce the daemon, the config file is overwritten! I need to know how to make the changes to /usr/local/etc/smb4.conf and /etc/local/smb4.conf persist after the service is restarted.
Is there some database the active config is stored in? If so, how to I edit this file to take the changes I make and not be overwritten.
Thank you all for your time and assistance!
