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.
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.
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
