I see you got plenty of feedback.. just a few minor additional
comments.
You may want to consider moving the script that got created in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d somewhere in your path and do a link to that
directory. This way when you are debugging you can stop/start
samba.
If you migrated your box from 3.X and you kept samba you may
want to consider keeping your smb.conf, deleting samba using
pkg_delete and install the new one available in package or port
with 4.X. This new Samba, as someone mentioned, has a utility
called Swat which greatly simplifies managing Samba.
If for any reason you don't have a script in your /rc.d I am
attaching mine.
This is from a Samba configuration in a 3.X box so I am not sure
how well it works in the latest one, but you can use it as a
template.
I think I modified this a bit from the original one. If no
parameter it starts samba. It also takes the "start" and "stop"
parameters.
#!/bin/sh
smbspool=/var/spool/samba
pidfiledir=/var/run
smbd=/usr/local/sbin/smbd
nmbd=/usr/local/sbin/nmbd
# start
if [ "x$1" = "x" -o "x$1" = "xstart" ]; then
if [ -f $smbd ]; then
if [ -d $smbspool ]; then
rm -f $smbspool/*
fi
echo ' Starting Samba.. '
$smbd -D
$nmbd -D
echo ' Samba Started '
fi
# stop
elif [ "x$1" = "xstop" ]; then
echo ' Stopping Samba '
kill `cat /var/run/smbd.pid`
kill `cat /var/run/nmbd.pid`
fi
