Samba share configuration definitions

“

- [Instructor] Samba has many configuration options specific to shares. We'll go over some of the more common ones now. Comment is a string of text that is displayed when a client gets information about the share. Browsable controls whether a share is visible to clients browsing the network. Writable means just that. It determines that the share is writable. Valid users is a list of users or groups that are allowed to access the share. Write list is a list of users or groups that are allowed to write to the share. Path is used to define the absolute path to the filesystem location. Public allows users to access the share without entering a password. Guest only controls if only guests can access the share. Force group defines which group all newly created files are owned by. Create mask defines the default permissions of newly created files. To learn more about any of these directives, check the main page for smb.conf
