does Nautilus use /etc/samba/smb.conf
I would like to configure some global samba settings and examine shares created via Nautilus.
I don't see the shares defined in /etc/samba/smb.conf and I don't have ~/.smb or ~/.samba directories either.
I have created a share that I damaged by removing the shared folder and re-creating a new folder with the same name. I have then re-shared the directory with a new share name. Guess what - both the old and new share names can be located on the home network. Both still work however, Nautilus only sees the "latest" share name.
Where can I delete/remove the old share name?
Your help would be appreciated - thank you

Interesting link - but no - I have shares that were setup in Nautilus and the shares work.
However, I don't see the shares in /etc/samba/smb.conf - so where are they?
There is one share I want to remove that Nautilus does not have control over currently.

I am not sure if this is a samba question or a Nautilus question.

I located the config files.
It appears as though /var/lib/
However, /var/lib/samba/ contains a few binary tdb files (such as share_info.tbd) So my question / search turns to understanding how to properly configure / manage these .tbd files.

Simple when you discover where and how ...
username@linux:~> net usershare add share_1 /home/username/
username@linux:~> net usershare delete share_1
I am guessing that /etc/smb.conf is still used as well.
