Comment 3 for bug 1155839

3/17/2013

I tried restarting samba in a terminal window. The error messages seemed to be familiar, like they came from the smb.conf file. Here are the results:

Unknown parameter encountered: "max log size"
Ignoring unknown parameter "max log size"
Unknown parameter encountered: "syslog only"
Ignoring unknown parameter "syslog only"
Unknown parameter encountered: "syslog"
Ignoring unknown parameter "syslog"
Unknown parameter encountered: "unix password sync"

Unknown parameter encountered: "usershare max shares"
Ignoring unknown parameter "usershare max shares"
Unknown parameter encountered: "usershare allow guests"
Ignoring unknown parameter "usershare allow guests"
Unknown parameter encountered: "valid users"
Ignoring unknown parameter "valid users"
Unknown parameter encountered: "guest ok"
Ignoring unknown parameter "guest ok"
Unknown parameter encountered: "guest ok"
Ignoring unknown parameter "guest ok"
Unknown parameter encountered: "guest ok"

Not sure why, but Samba doesn't seem to recognize a lot of the parameters in the smb.conf file. Does the install program run samba when its done?
