Hi all,
Using the variable substitution method %$var for the parameter workgroup
in the smb.conf file (global section) does not work for Samba 3.5.8. The
following settings do not work:
(...Some startup script...)
export myworkgroup = "WORKGROUP2"
smbd --daemon --configfile=/etc/samba/smb.conf
nmbd --daemon --configfile=/etc/samba/smb.conf
Then in the /etc/samba/smb.conf having the following settings:
[global]
server string = My Test Server (%i)
workgroup = %$myworkgroup
netbios name = testserver
....
The servers workgroup after startup is "%$myworkgroup" without the
quotes. If someone can point me my mistake it will be appreciated.
Kind regards
Riaan
