Question #: 34
Topic #: 2

FILL in BLANK

What option in sms.conf defines where the data of a file share is stored? (Specify ONLY the option name without any values.)

Apath

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

path Option: This parameter in smb.conf specifies the directory on the server where the shared data is stored.

Usage: Within a share definition, the path option points to the actual location on the filesystem that Samba will share.

Example Configuration:

[example_share] path = /srv/samba/share

Importance: Defining the correct path is crucial for ensuring that the share points to the intended directory with the appropriate data and permissions.

Okay, I remember seeing something about a "data" option in the file share settings. I'll go with that.
