just my 2 cents :
when you start the smb daemon it reads the config file you specify on the
command line (or in the init.d/smb script) or the default one (depending on
compile-time options). when it gets a connection request it forks (or
spawns) a new dameon with the config file specified in the original config
file's config file option line (see what i mean ?) that's why you can
specify samba variables (like %L) which will be expanded at the time of the
child process creation.
in my opinion those config files (smb.conf.FILE and smb.conf.PRINT) have to
be "complete" that is identical but eventually with different share
sections or different parameters (auth lists and so on). anyway the must be
consistent enough to "work" standalone. that is, if you start the smb
daemon with either of those config files, you must have a "print only" or a
"files only" server running fine.
then, when your 2 configurations are well defined and working fine, you can
try to get a mix with a third config file in which you will specify the
alternatives config files with "config file = smb.conf.%L". of course take
care to case sensitivity and other stuff which may cause problems.
doing this that way, and with log files information (use debugging
parameter to help) you should be able to satisfy your wish.
but, i have just a question, what will it give you to have such a dual
configuration ???
