Hi everyone,
I modified a smb.conf template. Running expand-template /etc/smb.conf and a restart of smb is working out my changes. Things are running as intended.
After signal-event post-upgrade and a reboot the changes are gone. Has anybody an idea?
Thx in advance

If I am correct smb.conf is located at /etc/samba/smb.conf, logically it's templates should also be in /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/samba/smb.conf folder, but they are not. Due to some hostorical changes (if I remember correctly from reading in the bugtracker, details should be somewhere there) the templates are located in the /etc/e-smith/templates*/etc/smb.conf folder. Changes should be made in the templates*-custom folder to be kept over updates and events being fired... For more details see the developers guide (http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/gordonr/devguide/devguide.pdf), especially the section about the template system, and perhaps also about the internal configuration database as a lot can be done changing values in there.
To expand the smb.conf file I think you should use the new location of the configuration file:
expand-template /etc/samba/smb.conf

Thx for your reply!
I made the template-changes in the /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/samba/smb.conf folder. Yep, there are a bunch of changes you can make in the samba configuration. I'll take as it is at this moment.
