Welcome to Samba Edit INFO.

This is a Windows95/NT SAMBA smb.conf Editor, and is FREE under the
following conditions:- Read the README.TXT file and for setup info.

Smbedit(smbed32) Copyright (C) 1997 Frank Santoro.

Recommendation:-
The first time you use this editor, I would advise that you edit the
smb.conf file that accompanies smbedit, just so you understand the quirks
and my preferences, always copy to the local PC hard drive before editing.
(This will become an Option in a future release.)


Mod 12/12/1997 :-
Added
"TestParm" Button to View/Check Current Samba Server

You must add the [testparm] share to the config file and the
samba_testparm shell script to the samba bin directory
before this will work see code below.
