The name of the share that is exported. It is used when connecting the share to another computer.
This is a text field that is seen next to a share when a client does a net view to list what shares are available.
If you want to set the string that is displayed next to the machine name, see the server string command.
Default: No comment string
Example: Fred's Files
This enables the share to be viewable from browse lists automatically.
This controls whether this share is seen in the list of available shares in a net view and in the browse list.
This parameter allows you to 'clone' service entries. The specified service is simply duplicated under the current service's name. Any parameters specified in the current section will override those in the section being copied.
This feature lets you set up a 'template' service and create similar services easily. Note that the service being copied must occur earlier in the configuration file than the service doing the copying.
Default: No copy service set
Example: otherservice
This parameter specifies a directory to which the user of the service is to be given access.
Any occurrences of %u in the path will be replaced with the username that the client is connecting as. Any occurrences of %m will be replaced by the name of the machine they are connecting from. These replacements are very useful for setting up pseudo home directories for users.
Note that this path will be based on Root Directory if one was specified.
Default: No path set
Example: /home/fred+
