Here is an example: smb.conf: [global] server string = myserver encrypt passwords = yes obey pam restrictions = no workgroup = myworkgroup enable privileges = yes security = user passdb backend = smbpasswd include=includes.smb [print$] path = /etc/samba/printer/ browsable = yes guest ok = yes read only = yes includes.smb: include=smbopts.share1 include=smbopts.share2 smbopts.share1: [share1] path = /data/share1 guest ok = yes smbopts.share2: [share2] path = /data/share2 guest ok = yes and what testparm makes of it: Load smb config files from smb.conf Processing section "[share1]" Processing section "[share2]" Processing section "[print$]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE [global] workgroup = MYWORKGROUP server string = myserver include = smbopts.share1 [share1] path = /data/share1 guest ok = Yes include = smbopts.share2 [share2] path = /data/share2 [print$] path = /etc/samba/printer/ guest ok = Yes -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

But what use does it have if the include statements are shown in the fully parsed smb.conf right next to the content of the included files? Wouldn't it be cleaner to just replace the include statements with the content that is included?
