Samba

[Alister Christman]

Hi

Just been following

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-samba.html

and install samba via pkg install

But once it has been installed.

i have to add this

samba_server_enable="yes" to /etc/rc.conf

and

start it via "service samba_server start"

which verys from the documentation.

I dont know if this is correct and the documentation needs to be update?

Thanks for your great work

This how the startup script is now called
(/usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba_server), and it works as you are saying.
Didn't notice that the Handbook says otherwise.

It looks like the handbook page needs updated since 4.x became the
default, the 3.x versions didn't have the _server on the end of the
startup script.
