You can insert comments in the
smb.conf configuration file by preceding a line with either a hash mark (#) or a semicolon ( ; ). Both characters are equivalent. For example, the first three lines in the following example would be considered comments:
# This is the printers section. We have given a minimum print
; space of 2000 to prevent some errors that we've seen when
; the spooler runs out of space.
[printers]
public = yes
min print space = 2000
Samba will ignore all comment lines in its configuration file; there are no limitations to what can be placed on a comment line after the initial hash mark or semicolon. Note that the line continuation character (
\) will
not be honored on a commented line. Like the rest of the line, it is ignored.
