Description:
samba-3.0.21b. After ports installation & following the handbook I was somewhat befuddl
ed on how to start samba. A google search instructed me that I had to add enable_samba = "YES"
in /etc/rc.conf before I could start samba using the package provided start script (/usr/local
/etc/rc.d/samba.sh) _without_ restarting. It was not clear to me that I had to add the enable
line to /etc/rc.conf before starting samba without rebooting. A diff with recommended updated
text to solve this problem is below for file /usr/share/doc/handbook/network-samba.html
