NAME¶
fusesmb.conf - the configuration file for
fusesmb
The file consists of sections and parameters. A section begins with the name of
the section in square brackets and continues until the next section begins.
Sections contain parameters of the form:
name =
value.
The file is line-based - that is, each newline-terminated line represents either
a comment, a section name or a parameter.
Section and parameter names are not case sensitive.
Only the first equals sign in a parameter is significant. Whitespace before or
after the first equals sign is discarded. Leading, trailing and internal
whitespace in section and parameter names is irrelevant. Leading and trailing
whitespace in a parameter value is discarded. Internal whitespace within a
parameter value is retained verbatim.
Any line beginning with a semicolon (``
;'') or a hash (``
#'')
character is ignored, as are lines containing only whitespace.
SPECIAL SECTIONS¶
fusesmb.conf can contain the following sections:
- The [global] section
- Section for global parameters.
- The [ignore] section
- Section for specifying servers and/or workgroups that should not be
listed.
- The [/SERVER] section
- Section for server-specific settings. The section name should start with a
slash `` /'' and not end with a slash.
- The [/SERVER/SHARE]
- Section for share-specific settings. The section name should start with a
slash followed by the server name followed by a slash ending on the share
name. It should not end with a slash.
EXPLANATION OF EACH PARAMETER¶
This chapter explains each possible option. The section names - specified
between parentheses after each option - shows the applicable sections for this
option. For example: ( [global] ) specifies that this option is only possible
for the section [global].
- ignore ( [/SERVER] )
- Ignore this server. Possible values are: true, false, 1 and 0.
Example: ignore = true
- interval ( [global] )
- Interval for scanning the network for shares. Value is a number that
specifies the network scanning interval in minutes. If the value is
smaller or equal to zero the network is not scanned.
Example: interval = 20
- password ( [global], [/SERVER], [/SERVER/SHARE] )
- Password. Value is string containing the password.
Example: password = secret
- servers ( [ignore] )
- Servers to ignore. Value is each server to ignore separated by a comma.
Example: servers = SERVER1, SERVER2, SERVER3
- showhiddenshares ( [global], [/SERVER] )
- Show hidden shares. Possible values are: true, false, 1 and 0.
Example: showhiddenshares = false
- timeout ( [global] )
- Connection timeout in seconds. A server after this timeout is considered
offline. Values smaller than 2 seconds are ignored.
Example: timeout = 10
- username ( [global], [/SERVER], [/SERVER/SHARE] )
- Username. Value is string containing the username.
Example: username = johndoe
- workgroups ( [ignore] )
- Workgroups to ignore. Value is each workgroup to ignore separated by a
comma.
Example: workgroups = WORKGROUP1, WORKGROUP2
