smb.conf files are in Windows .ini format. I'd look into one of the many config file parsers available on CPAN.	[reply]

I would not assume that everyone is familiar with `smb.conf` format. I'd include a sample file or a piece of it with a couple of records, so that more people can give you suggestions.	[reply]

Here is the official spec from samba.org and here are some CPAN modules you could use to parse/modify the file (which is an INI format file) cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply]
