I am moving from an older server to a newer one. I intended to install the latest versions of FreeBSD and of the other programs I use. One of those programs is Samba. I presently have samba36-3.6.25_1 installed on my old system. I intend to install samba43-4.3.3 on the new one. It is my understanding that SWAT is no longer available for Samba. Due to the way the server is used, modifications to the smb.conf file are fairly common. SWAT made that extremely easy. Is there another GUI available that works similar to how SWAT did? I really hate thinking that I will have to manually edit the file every time it requires updating. Can I import my old smb.conf file to start up with? At least I would have a base configuration to start with. Thanks! -- Carmel
