Hi
Can anyone tell me were the smb.conf file is located in Mavericks?
from all the forums, post i have read it says it needs to be in /etc/smb.conf but no such file exist on the machine.
Though i can initiate SMB connections.
Regards
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
smb.conf is a configuration file used for the open-source SAMBA software.
Apple have not used SAMBA software since they launched OS X 10.7 Lion. Due to a change in the license terms SAMBA uses Apple felt unable to continue to work with those license requirements and have instead written their own implementation from scratch which is generally called SMBx. Being totally different software it uses totally different means of configuring it.
Some of the files it uses for configuration are as follows
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server.plist
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.smbd.plist
~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf
/etc/nsmb.conf
If you do 'man nsmb.conf' and 'man smbd' in Terminal.app this may be of particular help.
Thanks James
I will check if i can find the configs within this.
Kind regards
Hi John
If the below files are not present, can it indicate to something that not installed? i have check the man pages and it all refers to the locations but the conf files or plist files are not present.
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server.plist
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.smbd.plist
~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf
/etc/nsmb.conf
Any idea what i can do to resolve this?
Kind regards
The first two are likely to only exist if your running Server.app and therefore probably will not exist on a client Mac. The last one(s) i.e. nsmb.conf only exist if you create them.
